and among the lampstands a being like a man, wearing a long robe, with a gold belt around his breast.

The one who was seated on it looked like jasper and sardius, and around the throne was a halo of the color of an emerald.

Around the throne were twenty-four thrones, with twenty-four elders seated on them, clothed in white and with gold crowns on their heads.

In front of the throne was what looked like a sea of glass, like crystal. Around the throne, in the middle of each side, were four animals covered with eyes in front and behind.

Then all the angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four animals, and fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God,

and the seven angels with the seven plagues came out of the temple. They were clothed in clean, glistening linen and had gold belts around their breasts.
