Revelation 4

¹ After this I looked, and behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; ^[1]one saying, Come up hither, and I will show thee things which must be hereafter. ² And immediately I was in the spirit: and behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne. ^{3 [2]}He was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, ^[3]likewise it had the appearance of emeralds. ⁴ And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and ^[4]upon the seats four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and ^[5]on their heads crowns of gold. ⁵ And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and ^[6]voices and thunderings: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before ^[7]his throne, which are the seven spirits of God. ⁶ And before the throne there was ^[8]as a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind. ⁷ And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face ^[9]of a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle. ⁸ And the four beasts ^[10]have each one six wings about him; and ^[11]they are full of eyes within: and ^[12]they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come. ⁹ And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever, ¹⁰ the four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and ^[13]shall worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and ^[14]shall cast their crowns before the throne, saying, ¹¹ Thou art worthy, O Lord ^[15]and our God, the Holy One, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure ^[16]they were and were created.
