| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1Then I saw in the right hand of the One seated on the throne a scroll with writing on the inside and on the back, sealed with seven seals. |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2I also saw a mighty angel proclaiming in a loud voice, "Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals?" |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or even to look in it. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4And I cried and cried because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or even to look in it. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5Then one of the elders said to me, "Stop crying. Look! The Lion from the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has been victorious so that He may open the scroll and its seven seals." |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6Then I saw One like a slaughtered lamb standing between the throne and the four living creatures and among the elders. He had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent into all the earth. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7He came and took the scroll out of the right hand of the One seated on the throne. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8When He took the scroll, the four living creatures and the 24 elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp and gold bowls filled with incense, which are the prayers of the saints. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9And they sang a new song: You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, because You were slaughtered, and You redeemed people for God by Your blood from every tribe and language and people and nation. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10You made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they will reign on the earth. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels around the throne, and also of the living creatures and of the elders. Their number was countless thousands, plus thousands of thousands. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12They said with a loud voice: The Lamb who was slaughtered is worthy to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing! |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13I heard every creature in heaven, on earth, under the earth, on the sea, and everything in them say: Blessing and honor and glory and dominion to the One seated on the throne, and to the Lamb, forever and ever! |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14The four living creatures said, "Amen," and the elders fell down and worshiped. |
