“You are worthy to take the scroll
and to open its seals
because you were killed, 2
and at the cost of your own blood 3 you have purchased 4 for God
persons 5 from every tribe, language, 6 people, and nation.
5:10 You have appointed 7 them 8 as a kingdom and priests 9 to serve 10 our God, and they will reign 11 on the earth.”
5:11 Then 12 I looked and heard the voice of many angels in a circle around the throne, as well as the living creatures and the elders. Their 13 number was ten thousand times ten thousand 14 – thousands times thousands – 5:12 all of whom 15 were singing 16 in a loud voice:
“Worthy is the lamb who was killed 17
to receive power and wealth
and wisdom and might
and honor and glory and praise!”
5:13 Then 18 I heard every creature – in heaven, on earth, under the earth, in the sea, and all that is in them – singing: 19
“To the one seated on the throne and to the Lamb
be praise, honor, glory, and ruling power 20 forever and ever!”
5:14 And the four living creatures were saying “Amen,” and the elders threw themselves to the ground 21 and worshiped.
