⁵ Within it there were figures resembling ^(A)four living beings. And this was their appearance: they had human ^(B)form.

⁶ and before the throne there was something like a ^(A)sea of glass, like crystal; and in the ^[a]center and ^(B)around the throne, ^(C)four living creatures ^(D)full of eyes in front and behind.

⁹ And when the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to Him who ^(A)sits on the throne, to ^(B)Him who lives forever and ever,

⁶ And I saw ^[a]between the throne (with the four living creatures) and ^(A)the elders a ^(B)Lamb standing, as if ^(C)slain, having seven ^(D)horns and ^(E)seven eyes, which are ^(F)the seven Spirits of God, sent out into all the earth.

6 Then I saw when the ^(A)Lamb broke one of the ^(B)seven seals, and I heard one of the ^(C)four living creatures saying as with a ^(D)voice of thunder, “Come^[a].”

⁶ And I heard something like a voice in the center of the ^(A)four living creatures saying, “A ^[a]quart of wheat for a ^[b]denarius, and three ^[c]quarts of barley for a ^[d]denarius; and ^(B)do not damage the oil and the wine.”

¹¹ And all the angels were standing ^(A)around the throne and around ^(B)the elders and the ^(C)four living creatures; and they ^(D)fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God,

³ And they *^[a]sang ^(A)a new song before the throne and before the ^(B)four living creatures and the ^(C)elders; and ^(D)no one could learn the song except the ^(E)one hundred and forty-four thousand who had been ^(F)purchased from the earth.

⁷ Then one of the ^(A)four living creatures gave to the ^(B)seven angels seven ^(C)golden bowls full of the ^(D)wrath of God, who ^(E)lives forever and ever.
