Revelation 7:15-17
New English Translation

15 For this reason they are before the throne of God, and they serve[a] him day and night in his temple, and the one seated on the throne will shelter them.[b] 16 They will never go hungry or be thirsty again, and the sun will not beat down on them, nor any burning heat,[c] 17 because the Lamb in the middle of the throne will shepherd them and lead them to springs of living water, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”[d]
