Revelation 5:8 in Context — Revelation 5

6 E eu olhei, e eis que no meio do trono, e dos quatro animais, e no meio dos anciãos, um Cordeiro que estava como se tivesse sido morto, e tinha sete chifres, e sete olhos, que são os sete espíritos de Deus enviados para toda a terra.

7 E ele veio, e tomou o livro da [mão] direita daquele que estava sentado sobre o trono.

8 E quando ele tomou o livro, os quatro animais, e os vinte e quatro anciãos se prostraram diante do Cordeiro, tendo cada um harpas, e recipientes de ouro cheios de perfumes, que são as orações dos santos.

9 E eles cantavam um novo cântico, dizendo: “Digno és tu de tomar o livro, e abrir seus selos; porque foste morto, e com o teu sangue para Deus nos compraste , de toda tribo, língua, povo, e nação;

10 e para nosso Deus tu nos fizeste reis e sacerdotes; e nós reinaremos sobre a terra.”
