[1] And in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals. [2] And a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof? [3] And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon. [4] And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and the book, neither to look thereon. [5] And one of the elders saith Weep not: behold, the Lion the tribe the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and the seven seals thereof. [6] And in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. [7] And he came and took out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne. [8] And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which the prayers of saints. [9] And they sung a new song, saying, worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed to God by blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; [10] And hast made God and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
