1. And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a scroll written inside and on the back, sealed with seven seals.
2. And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the scroll, and to loose the seals thereof?
3. And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the scroll, neither to look thereon.
4. And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the scroll, neither to look thereon.
5. And one of the elders said unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah the Root of David, has prevailed to open the scroll, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
6. And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb 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.
7. And he came and took the scroll out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.
