1 Then I saw a scroll in the right hand of the one seated on the throne. It had writing on the front and the back, and it was sealed with seven seals.
2 I saw a powerful angel, who proclaimed in a loud voice, "Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals?"
3 But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth could open the scroll or look inside it.
4 So I began to weep and weep, because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or to look inside it.
