| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1Then I saw in the right hand of the one who sits on the throne a scroll written on the inside and on the outside, sealed with seven seals. |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2I also saw a powerful angel proclaiming with a loud voice, "Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals?" |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3No one in heaven, on earth, or under the earth could open the scroll or look inside it. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4I began to cry bitterly because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or look inside it. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5"Stop crying," one of the elders told me. "Look! The Lion from the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has conquered. He can open the scroll and its seven seals." |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6Then I saw a lamb standing in the middle of the throne, the four living creatures, and the elders. He looked like he had been slaughtered. 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 went and took the scroll from the right hand of the one who sits on the throne. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8When the lamb had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders bowed down in front of him. Each held a harp and a gold bowl full of incense, the prayers of the saints. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9They sang a new song: "You are worthy to take the scroll and open its seals, because you were slaughtered. With your blood you purchased people for God from every tribe, language, people, and nation. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10You made them a kingdom and priests for our God, and they will reign on the earth." |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11Then I looked, and I heard the voices of many angels, the living creatures, and the elders surrounding the throne. They numbered 10,000's times 10,000 and thousands times thousands. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12They sang with a loud voice, "Worthy is the lamb who was slaughtered to receive power, wealth, wisdom, strength, honor, glory, and praise!" |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13I heard every creature in heaven, on earth, under the earth, and on the sea, and everything that is in them, saying, "To the one who sits on the throne and to the lamb be praise, honor, glory, and power forever and ever!" |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14Then the four living creatures said, "Amen!", and the elders bowed down and worshipped. |
