Revelation

Revelation 7:15–17

¹⁵For this reason,

they are before the throne of God

and serve Him day and night in His temple;

and the One seated on the throne

will spread His tabernacle over them.

¹⁶‘Never again will they hunger,

and never will they thirst;

nor will the sun beat down upon them,

nor any scorching heat.’^a

¹⁷For the Lamb in the center of the throne

will be their shepherd.^b

‘He will lead them to springs of living water,’^c

and ‘God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.’^d”
