← Revelation 4:7	Revelation 4:8 (KJV)	Revelation 4:9 →
And the first beast [was] like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast [was] like a flying eagle.	And the four beasts had each of them six wings about [him]; and [they were] full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.	And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever,
