¹⁵That is why they are here before the throne of God, serving him day and night in his temple. The one sitting on the throne will shelter them; ¹⁶they will never be hungry again, nor thirsty, and they will be fully protected from the scorching noontime heat. ¹⁷For the Lamb standing in front of the throne^[a] will feed them and be their Shepherd and lead them to the springs of the Water of Life. And God will wipe their tears away.”
