Revelation 5
Chapter 5
The Book with Seven Seals
1 I saw in the right hand of Him who sat on the throne a book written inside
and on the back, sealed up with seven seals.
2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy
to open the book and to break its seals?”
3 And no one in heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able to open the
book or to look into it.
4 Then I began to weep greatly because no one was found worthy to open the book
or to look into it;
5 and one of the elders *?said to me, “Stop weeping; behold, the Lion that
is from the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome so as to open the
book and its seven seals.”
6 And I saw between the throne (with the four living creatures) and the elders
a Lamb standing, as if slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the
seven Spirits of God, sent out into all the earth.
7 And He came and took the book out of the right hand of Him who sat on the throne.
8 When He had taken the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders
fell down before the Lamb, each one holding a harp and golden bowls full of incense,
which are the prayers of the saints.
9 And they *?sang a new song, saying,
“
Worthy are You to take the book and to break its seals; for You were slain, and
purchased for God with Your blood men from every tribe and tongue and people
and nation.
10 “You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to our God; and they
will reign upon the earth.”
Angels Exalt the Lamb
11 Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne and
the living creatures and the elders; and the number of them was myriads of myriads,
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
might and honor and glory and blessing.”
13 And every created thing which is in heaven and on the earth and under the
earth and on the sea, and all things in them, I heard saying,
“
To Him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb, be blessing and honor and glory
and dominion forever and ever.”
14 And the four living creatures kept saying, “Amen.” And the elders
fell down and worshiped.
