Revelation 5:1–10

And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the back, close sealed with seven seals. ²And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a great voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof? ³And no one in the heaven, or on the earth, or under the earth, was able to open the book, or to look thereon. ⁴And I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open the book, or to look thereon: ⁵and one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not; behold, the Lion that is of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath overcome to open the book and the seven seals thereof. ⁶And I 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 forth into all the earth. ⁷And he came, and he taketh it out of the right hand of him that sat on the throne. ⁸And when he had taken the book, the four living creatures and the four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having each one a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. ⁹And they sing a new song, saying,

Worthy art thou to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and didst purchase unto God with thy blood men of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation, ¹⁰and madest them to be unto our God a kingdom and priests; and they reign upon the earth.
