REVELATION CHAPTER V.

[ 1 The book sealed with seven seals, which no man is worthy to open: 6 The 
Lamb openeth the book: the beasts and elders praise him.]

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 Judah, 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 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.
