Then he said to me, “These are the ones who died in[a] the great tribulation.[b] They have washed their robes in the blood of the Lamb and made them white.
15 “That is why they stand in front of God’s throne
and serve him day and night in his Temple.
And he who sits on the throne
will give them shelter.
16 They will never again be hungry or thirsty;
they will never be scorched by the heat of the sun.

will be their Shepherd.
He will lead them to springs of life-giving water.
And God will wipe every tear from their eyes.”

never again will they thirst.(H)
The sun will not beat down on them,’[a]
