Revelation 5:4

---

← Revelation 5:3	Revelation 5:4 (KJV)	Revelation 5:5 →
And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.	And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.	And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
