12 And I turned to see the voice
that spake with me. And being
turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;
13 And in the midst of the seven
candlesticks one like unto the
Son of man, clothed with a
garment down to the foot, and
girt about the paps with a golden
girdle. 14 His head and his hairs
were white like wool, as white as
snow; and his eyes were as a
flame of fire; 15 And his feet like
unto fine brass, as if they burned
in a furnace; and his voice as the
sound of many waters.
16 And he had in his right hand
seven stars: and out of his mouth
went a sharp two-edged sword:
and his countenance was as the
sun shineth in his strength
