10 And they cry with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God who sits upon the throne, and to the Lamb.
After these things I heard as a loud voice of a great multitude in the heaven, saying, Hallelujah: the salvation and the glory and the power of our God:
Salvation is of Jehovah; thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.
And no curse shall be any more; and the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him,
And he that sat on the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he says [to me], Write, for these words are true and faithful.
On the morrow he sees Jesus coming to him, and says, Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.
Declare and bring [them] near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath caused this to be heard from ancient time? [who] hath declared it long ago? Is it not I, Jehovah? And there is no God else beside me; a just ùGod and a Saviour, there is none besides me.
I, I [am] Jehovah; and besides me there is no saviour.
And every creature which is in the heaven and upon the earth and under the earth, and [those that are] upon the sea, and all things in them, heard I saying, To him that sits upon the throne, and to the Lamb, blessing, and honour, and glory, and might, to the ages of ages. And the four living creatures said, Amen; and the elders fell down and did homage.
But the salvation of the righteous is of Jehovah: he is their strength in the time of trouble.
And when the living creatures shall give glory and honour and thanksgiving to him that sits upon the throne, who lives to the ages of ages, the twenty-four elders shall fall before him that sits upon the throne, and do homage to him that lives to the ages of ages; and shall cast their crowns before the throne, saying, Thou art worthy, O our Lord and [our] God, to receive glory and honour and power; for *thou* hast created all things, and for thy will they were, and they have been created.
and before the throne, as a glass sea, like crystal. And in the midst of the throne, and around the throne, four living creatures, full of eyes, before and behind;
Immediately I became in [the] Spirit; and behold, a throne stood in the heaven, and upon the throne one sitting, and he [that was] sitting like in appearance to a stone [of] jasper and a sardius, and a rainbow round the throne like in appearance to an emerald.
Ye worship ye know not what; we worship what we know, for salvation is of the Jews.
And, looking at Jesus as he walked, he says, Behold the Lamb of God.
Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel [thou dost become] a plain; and he shall bring forth the head-stone with shoutings: Grace, grace unto it!
Yet I [am] Jehovah thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou hast known no God but me; and there is no saviour besides me.
