Revelation

1 And I saw 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 I saw a strong an­gel pro­claim­ing with a loud voice, Who is 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 to read the book, nei­ther to look there­on. 5 And one of the el­ders saith unto me, Weep not: be­hold, the Lion of the tribe of Ju­da, the Root of David, hath pre­vailed to open the book, and to loose the sev­en seals there­of. 6 And I be­held, and, lo, 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 are the sev­en Spir­its of God sent forth into all the earth. 7 And he came and took the book 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 are the prayers of saints. 9 And they sung a new song, say­ing, Thou art wor­thy to take the book, and to open the seals there­of: for thou wast slain, and hast re­deemed us to God by thy blood out of ev­ery kin­dred, and tongue, and peo­ple, and na­tion; 10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. 11 And I be­held, and I heard the voice of many an­gels round about the throne and the beasts and the el­ders: and the num­ber of them was ten thou­sand times ten thou­sand, and thou­sands of thou­sands; 12 Say­ing with a loud voice, Wor­thy is the Lamb that was slain to re­ceive pow­er, and rich­es, and wis­dom, and strength, and hon­our, and glo­ry, and bless­ing. 13 And ev­ery crea­ture which is in heav­en, and on the earth, and un­der the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I say­ing, Bless­ing, and hon­our, and glo­ry, and pow­er, be unto him that sit­teth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ev­er. 14 And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twen­ty el­ders fell down and wor­shipped him that liveth for ever and ev­er.
