Revelation 4:4-6
American Standard Version
4 And round about the throne were four and twenty thrones: and upon the thrones I saw four and twenty elders sitting, arrayed in white garments; and on their heads crowns of gold. 5 And out of the throne proceed lightnings and voices and thunders. And there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God; 6 and before the throne, as it were a [a]sea of glass like unto crystal; and in the midst [b]of the throne, and round about the throne, four living creatures full of eyes before and behind.
