Revelation 5:1–10

The Book with Seven Seals

¹I saw ¹in the right hand of Him who ^asat on the throne a ^2bbook written inside and on the back, ^csealed up with seven seals.

²And I saw a ^astrong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the ¹book and to break its seals?”

³And no one ^ain heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able to open the ¹book or to look into it.

⁴Then I began to weep greatly because no one was found worthy to open the ¹book or to look into it;

⁵and one of the elders ^*said to me, “Stop weeping; behold, the ^aLion that is ^bfrom the tribe of Judah, the ^cRoot of David, has overcome so as to open the ¹book and its seven seals.”

⁶And I saw ¹between the throne (with the four living creatures) and ^athe elders a ^bLamb standing, as if ^cslain, having seven ^dhorns and ^eseven eyes, which are ^fthe seven Spirits of God, sent out into all the earth.

⁷And He came and took ^athe book out of the right hand of Him who sat on the throne.

⁸When He had taken the ¹book, the ^afour living creatures and the ^btwenty-four elders ^cfell down before the ^dLamb, each one holding a ^eharp and ^fgolden bowls full of incense, which are the ^gprayers of the ²saints.

⁹And they ^*sang a ^anew song, saying,

“^bWorthy are You to take the ¹book and to break its seals; for You were ^cslain, and ^dpurchased for God with Your blood men from ^eevery tribe and tongue and people and nation.

¹⁰“You have made them to be a ^akingdom and priests to our God; and they will ^breign upon the earth.”
