15 “For this reason they stand before God’s throne
    and worship him day and night in his temple.
    The one who sits on the throne will shelter them.
16 They will not hunger or thirst anymore,
    nor will the sun or any heat strike them.(A)
17 For the Lamb who is in the center of the throne will shepherd them
    and lead them to springs of life-giving water,[a]
    and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”(B)
