Apocalipse 4:6-8
Almeida Revista e Corrigida 2009
6 E havia diante do trono um como mar de vidro, semelhante ao cristal, e, no meio do trono e ao redor do trono, quatro animais cheios de olhos por diante e por detrás. 7 E o primeiro animal era semelhante a um leão; e o segundo animal, semelhante a um bezerro; e tinha o terceiro animal o rosto como de homem; e o quarto animal era semelhante a uma águia voando. 8 E os quatro animais tinham, cada um, respectivamente, seis asas e, ao redor e por dentro, estavam cheios de olhos; e não descansam nem de dia nem de noite, dizendo: Santo, Santo, Santo é o Senhor Deus, o Todo-Poderoso, que era, e que é, e que há de vir.

Revelation 4:6-8
The Message
2-6 I was caught up at once in deep worship and, oh!—a Throne set in Heaven with One Seated on the Throne, suffused in gem hues of amber and flame with a nimbus of emerald. Twenty-four thrones circled the Throne, with Twenty-four Elders seated, white-robed, gold-crowned. Lightning flash and thunder crash pulsed from the Throne. Seven fire-blazing torches fronted the Throne (these are the Sevenfold Spirit of God). Before the Throne it was like a clear crystal sea.
6-8 Prowling around the Throne were Four Animals, all eyes. Eyes to look ahead, eyes to look behind. The first Animal like a lion, the second like an ox, the third with a human face, the fourth like an eagle in flight. The Four Animals were winged, each with six wings. They were all eyes, seeing around and within. And they chanted night and day, never taking a break:
Holy, holy, holy
Is God our Master, Sovereign-Strong,
The Was, The Is, The Coming.
