 5:1  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.
 5:2  And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice,
Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?
 5:3  And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the
earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.
 5:4  And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open
and to read the book, neither to look thereon.
 5:5  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.
 5:6  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.
 5:7  And he came and took the book out of the right hand of
him that sat upon the throne.
 5:8  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.
 5:9  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;
 5:10  And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we
shall reign on the earth.
 5:11  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;
 5:12  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.
 5:13  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.
 5:14  And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four [and]
twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever
and ever.
