Revelation 4:6–11

⁶Something like a sea of glass, similar to crystal, was also before the throne.^b

Four living creatures covered with eyes in front and in back were around the throne on each side. ⁷The first living creature was like a lion; the second living creature was like an ox; the third living creature had a face like a man; and the fourth living creature was like a flying eagle.^{c 8}Each of the four living creatures had six wings;^d they were covered with eyes around and inside. Day and night^e they never stop,^B saying,

Holy, holy, holy,

Lord God, the Almighty,

who was, who is, and who is to come.^f

⁹Whenever the living creatures give glory, honor, and thanks to the one seated on the throne, the one who lives forever and ever,^{g 10}the twenty-four elders fall down before the one seated on the throne^h and worship the one who lives forever and ever. They cast their crowns before the throne and say,

¹¹Our Lord and God,^C

you are worthyⁱ to receive

glory and honor and power,^j

because you have created all things,^k

and by your will

they exist and were created.
