1. And I saw in the right hand of Him who sat on the throne a scroll written inside and on the back, having been sealed with seven seals.
2. And I saw a strong messenger proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and to loosen its seals?”
3. And no one in the heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll, or to look at it.
4. And I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open and read the scroll, or to look at it.
5. And one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep. See, the Lion of the tribe of Yehuḏah, the Root of Dawiḏ, overcame to open the scroll and to loosen its seven seals.”
6. And I looked and saw in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders a Lamb standing, as having been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of Elohim sent out into all the earth.
7. And He came and took the scroll out of the right hand of Him sitting on the throne.
