The Throne in Heaven
And around the throne, on each side of the throne, are (O)four living creatures, (P)full of eyes in front and behind: 7 (Q)the first living creature like a lion, the second living creature like an ox, the third living creature with the face of a man, and the fourth living creature like an eagle in flight. 8 And the four living creatures, ®each of them with six wings, are (S)full of eyes all around and within, and (T)day and night they never cease to say,
(V)who was and is and is to come!”
9 And whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to him who is seated on the throne, (W)who lives forever and ever, 10 the twenty-four elders (X)fall down before him who is seated on the throne and worship him who lives forever and ever. They cast (Y)their crowns before the throne, saying,
to receive glory and honor and power,
for (AA)you created all things,
and (AB)by your will they existed and were created.”
