And whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to him who is seated on the throne, (A)who lives forever and ever, 10 the twenty-four elders (B)fall down before him who is seated on the throne and worship him who lives forever and ever. They cast (C)their crowns before the throne, saying,

11 (D)“Worthy are you, our Lord and God,
    to receive glory and honor and power,
for (E)you created all things,
    and (F)by your will they existed and were created.”

The Scroll and the Lamb

Then I saw in the right hand of him who was seated on the throne (G)a scroll written within and on the back, (H)sealed with seven seals. And (I)I saw a mighty angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals?” And no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or to look into it, and I began to weep loudly because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or to look into it. And one of the elders said to me, “Weep no more; behold, (J)the Lion (K)of the tribe of Judah, (L)the Root of David, has conquered, so that he can open the scroll and its seven seals.”
