15 “That is why they stand before the throne of God
    and worship him day and night in his temple,
    and the one who sits on the throne will shelter them.
16 They will never again experience hunger or thirst,
    nor will the sun or any scorching heat cause them discomfort.
17 For the Lamb who is at the center of the throne
    will be their shepherd.
He will guide them to springs of living water,[a]
    and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”
