8 And when he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the ^jtwenty-four elders ^kfell down before the Lamb, each holding a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, ^lwhich are the prayers of the saints.

3 And another angel came and stood at the altar with a golden censer, and he was given much ^sincense to offer with the prayers of all the saints on ^tthe golden altar before the throne,

4 and the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, rose before God from the hand of the angel.
