1I saw, in the right hand of him who sat on the throne, a scroll written inside and on the back, sealed shut with seven seals. 2I saw a mighty angel proclaiming with a loud voice, "Who is worthy to open the scroll, and to break its seals?" 3No one in heaven, or on the earth, or under the earth, was able to open the scroll, or to look in it. 4And I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open the scroll, or to look in it. 5One of the elders said to me, "Do not weep. Behold, the Lion who is of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome; he who opens the scroll and its seven seals." 6I saw in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, a Lamb standing, as though it had been slain, having seven horns, and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God, sent out into all the earth. 7Then he came, and he took it out of the right hand of him who sat on the throne. 8Now when he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each one having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. 9They sang a new song, saying,"You are worthy to take the scroll,and to open its seals:for you were killed,and redeemed us for God with your blood,out of every tribe, language, people, and nation, 10and made them a kingdom and priests to our God,and they will reign on earth." 11I saw, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousands of ten thousands, and thousands of thousands; 12saying with a loud voice, "Worthy is the Lamb who has been killed to receive the power, wealth, wisdom, strength, honor, glory, and blessing!" 13I heard every created thing which is in heaven, on the earth, under the earth, on the sea, and everything in them, saying, "To him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb be the blessing, the honor, the glory, and the dominion, forever and ever!" 14The four living creatures were saying, "Amen!" The elders fell down and worshiped.
