Vision of the Ancient of Days

“I(D) watched till thrones were [b]put in place,
And (E)the Ancient of Days was seated;
(F)His garment was white as snow,
And the hair of His head was like pure wool.
His throne was a fiery flame,
(G)Its wheels a burning fire;
10 (H)A fiery stream issued
And came forth from before Him.
(I)A thousand thousands ministered to Him;
Ten thousand times ten thousand stood before Him.
(J)The [c]court was seated,
And the books were opened.

The court was seated,
    and the books(K) were opened.
