1 And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a scroll written inside and on the back, sealed with seven seals.
2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the scroll, and to loose the seals thereof?
3 And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the scroll, neither to look thereon.
4 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the scroll, neither to look thereon.
5 And one of the elders said unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah the Root of David, has prevailed to open the scroll, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
