Revelation

Revelation 5:9–11

⁹And they sang a new song:

“Worthy are You to take the scroll and open its seals,

because You were slain,

and by Your blood You purchased for God

those from every tribe and tongue and people and nation.

¹⁰You have made them to be a kingdom

and priests to serve our God,

and they will reign upon^b the earth.”

¹¹Then I looked, and I heard the voices of many angels encircling the throne, and the living creatures and the elders. And their number was myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands.
