Revelation 21:10-27
English Standard Version
10 And (A)he carried me away in the Spirit to (B)a great, high mountain, and showed me the holy city Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God, 11 (C)having the glory of God, (D)its radiance (E)like a most rare jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal. 12 It had a great, high wall, (F)with twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and on the gates the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel were inscribed— 13 on the east three gates, on the north three gates, on the south three gates, and on the west three gates. 14 And the wall of the city had twelve (G)foundations, and (H)on them were the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
15 And the one who spoke with me (I)had a measuring rod of gold to measure the city and its gates and walls. 16 The city lies foursquare, its length the same as its width. And he measured the city with his rod, 12,000 stadia.[a] Its length and width and height are equal. 17 He also measured its wall, 144 cubits[b] by (J)human measurement, which is also (K)an angel's measurement. 18 The wall was built of (L)jasper, while the city was pure gold, like (M)clear glass. 19 (N)The foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with every kind of jewel. The first was jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald, 20 the fifth onyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, the twelfth amethyst. 21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls, each of the gates made of a single pearl, and (O)the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass.
22 And (P)I saw no temple in the city, for its temple is the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb. 23 And the city (Q)has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, for (R)the glory of God gives it light, and its lamp is the Lamb. 24 By its light (S)will the nations walk, and the kings of the earth (T)will bring their glory into it, 25 and (U)its gates will never be shut by day—and (V)there will be no night there. 26 They will bring into it the glory and the honor of the nations. 27 But (W)nothing unclean will ever enter it, nor anyone who does what is detestable or false, but only those who are written in the Lamb's (X)book of life.

English Standard Version
A Great Multitude from Every Nation
9 After this I looked, and behold, (A)a great multitude that no one could number, (B)from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, (C)clothed in white robes, with (D)palm branches in their hands, 10 and crying out with a loud voice, (E)“Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!” 11 And all the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and (F)the four living creatures, and they (G)fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, 12 (H)saying, “Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God forever and ever! Amen.”
13 Then one of the elders addressed me, saying, “Who are these, (I)clothed in white robes, and from where have they come?” 14 I said to him, “Sir, you know.” And he said to me, “These are the ones coming out of (J)the great tribulation. (K)They have washed their robes and (L)made them white (M)in the blood of the Lamb.
15 “Therefore they are before the throne of God,
and (N)serve him day and night in his temple;
and he who sits on the throne (O)will shelter them with his presence.
16 (P)They shall hunger no more, neither thirst anymore;
(Q)the sun shall not strike them,
nor any scorching heat.
17 For the Lamb in the midst of the throne (R)will be their shepherd,
and he will guide them to springs of (S)living water,
and (T)God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”
Hebrews 12:22-24
English Standard Version
22 But you have come to (A)Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, (B)the heavenly Jerusalem, and to (C)innumerable angels in festal gathering, 23 and to (D)the assembly[a] of the firstborn who are (E)enrolled in heaven, and to (F)God, the judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous made perfect, 24 and to Jesus, (G)the mediator of a new covenant, and to (H)the sprinkled blood (I)that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel.

English Standard Version
15 (A)Whereas you have been forsaken and hated,
with no one passing through,
(B)I will make you majestic forever,
a joy from age to age.
16 (C)You shall suck the milk of nations;
you shall nurse at the breast of kings;
and you shall know that (D)I, the Lord, am your Savior
and your Redeemer, (E)the Mighty One of Jacob.
17 Instead of bronze I will bring gold,
and instead of iron I will bring silver;
instead of wood, bronze,
instead of stones, iron.
I will make your overseers peace
(F)and your taskmasters righteousness.
18 (G)Violence shall no more be heard in your land,
devastation or destruction within your borders;
(H)you shall call your walls Salvation,
and your gates Praise.
19 (I)The sun shall be no more
your light by day,
nor for brightness shall the moon
give you light;[a]
but the Lord will be your everlasting light,
and your God will be your glory.[b]
20 Your sun shall no more go down,
nor your moon withdraw itself;
for the Lord will be your everlasting light,
and (J)your days of mourning shall be ended.
