Revelation 5:5-8
Holman Christian Standard Bible
5 Then one of the elders said to me, “Stop crying. Look! The Lion from the tribe of Judah,(A) the Root of David,(B) has been victorious(C) so that He may open the scroll and[a] its seven seals.” 6 Then I saw One like a slaughtered lamb standing between[b] the throne and the four living creatures and among the elders. He had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God(D) sent into all the earth. 7 He came and took the scroll[c] out of the right hand of the One seated on the throne.
The Lamb Is Worthy
8 When He took the scroll, the four living creatures and the 24 elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp and gold bowls filled with incense, which are the prayers of the saints.

5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.
7 And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.
8 And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.
