1 I saw a scroll in the right-hand of the one who sits on the throne; it was covered with writing on both sides and was sealed with seven seals.
2 And I saw a mighty angel, who announced in a loud voice, “Who is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll?”
3 But there was no one in heaven or on earth or in the world below who could open the scroll and look inside it.
4 I cried bitterly because no one could be found who was worthy to open the scroll or look inside it.
