The Scroll with Seven Seals

¹ I saw ^(F1)in the right hand of Him who ^(C1)sat on the throne a ^(F2)(C2)scroll written inside and on the back, ^(C3)sealed up with seven seals.² And I saw a ^(C1)strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, "Who is worthy to open the scroll and to break its seals?"³ And no one ^(C1)in heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or to look into it.⁴ Then I began to weep greatly because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or to look into it.⁵ And one of the elders ^(*)said to me, "Stop weeping; behold, the ^(C1)Lion that is ^(C2)from the tribe of Judah, the ^(C3)Root of David, has overcome so as to be able to open the scroll and its seven seals."

⁶ And I saw ^(F1)between the throne (with the four living creatures) and ^(C1)the elders a ^(C2)Lamb standing, as if ^(C3)slaughtered, having seven ^(C4)horns and ^(C5)seven eyes, which are ^(F2)(C6)the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth.⁷ And He came and took ^(C1)the scroll out of the right hand of Him who ^(C1)sat on the throne.⁸ When He had taken the scroll, the ^(C1)four living creatures and the ^(C2)twenty-four elders ^(C3)fell down before the ^(C4)Lamb, each one holding a ^(C5)harp and ^(C6)golden bowls full of incense, which are the ^(C7)prayers of the ^(F1)saints.⁹ And they ^(*)sang a ^(C1)new song, saying, "^(C2)Worthy are You to take the scroll and to break its seals; for You were ^(C3)slaughtered, and You ^(C4)purchased people for God with Your blood from ^(C5)every tribe, language, people, and nation.¹⁰ You have made them into a ^(C1)kingdom and ^(C1)priests to our God, and they will ^(C2)reign upon the earth."

Angels Exalt the Lamb

¹¹ Then I looked, and I heard the voices of many angels ^(C1)around the throne and the ^(C2)living creatures and the ^(C3)elders; and the number of them was ^(F1)(C4)myriads of myriads, and thousands of thousands,¹² saying with a loud voice, "^(C1)Worthy is the ^(C2)Lamb that was ^(C2)slaughtered to receive power, wealth, wisdom, might, honor, glory, and blessing."¹³ And I heard ^(C1)every created thing which is in heaven, or on the earth, or under the earth, or on the sea, and all the things in them, saying, "To Him who ^(C2)sits on the throne and to the ^(C3)Lamb ^(C4)be the blessing, the honor, the glory, and the dominion forever and ever."¹⁴ And the ^(C1)four living creatures were saying, "^(C2)Amen." And the ^(C3)elders ^(C4)fell down and worshiped.
