1 And in the right hand of the One sitting upon the throne, I saw a book, written inside and out, sealed with seven seals.
2 And I saw a strong Angel, proclaiming with a great voice, "Who is worthy to open the book and to break its seals?"
3 And no one was able, neither in heaven, nor on earth, nor under the earth, to open the book, nor to gaze upon it.
4 And I wept greatly because no one was found worthy to open the book, nor to see it.
5 And one of the elders said to me: "Weep not. Behold, the lion from the tribe of Judah, the root of David, has prevailed to open the book and to break its seven seals."
