The angels standing around once again adore God, catching up the previous praise with “Amen,” and uttering a sevenfold ascription of praise upon their own behalf, closed with another “Amen”. The article is repeated before each substitute, as in Revelation 5:13. The divine “wisdom” is shown in the means devised by the divine power to redeem (Revelation 5:12) and deliver (Revelation 7:14) men, in straits where no human prudence could prevail. See Clem. Rom. 60. and Ps. Sol. 17:25.
