In the center and around the throne were four living beings, each covered with eyes, front and back. The first of these living beings was like a lion; the second was like an ox; the third had a human face; and the fourth was like an eagle in flight. Each of these living beings had six wings, and their wings were covered all over with eyes, inside and out. Day after day and night after night they keep on saying,
‘Holy holy holy is the Lord God, the Almighty – the One who always was, who is and who is still to come.’
Whenever the living beings give glory and honor and thanks to the One sitting on the throne (the One who lives forever and ever), the twenty-four elders fall down and worship the one sitting on the throne (the one who lives forever and ever). And they lay their crowns before the throne saying,
“You are worthy, O Lord our God, to receive glory and honor and power. For You created all things, and they exists because You created what You pleased.'”
