1And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the back, close sealed with seven seals.

2And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a great voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?

3And no one in the heaven, or on the earth, or under the earth, was able to open the book, or to look thereon.

4And I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open the book, or to look thereon:

5and one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not; behold, the Lion that is of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath overcome to open the book and the seven seals thereof.

6And I saw in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, a Lamb standing, 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.

7And he came, and he taketh [it] out of the right hand of him that sat on the throne.
