agle flying. (8)And the four
animals had each of them six wings apiece; around and within they are
full of eyes; and they have no rest by day and by night, saying: Holy,
holy, holy, Lord God the Almighty, who was, and who is, and who is to
come.
(9)And when the animals shall give glory, and honor, and thanksgiving,
to him who sits upon the throne, to him who lives forever and ever,
(10)the twenty-four elders will fall down before him who sits upon the
throne, and will worship him who lives forever and ever, and will cast
their crowns before the throne, saying: (11)Worthy art thou, our Lord
and our God, to receive the glory, and the honor, and the power;
