and worship him day and night within his temple,
and the one who is seated on the throne will shelter them.(B)
16 They will hunger no more and thirst no more;
the sun will not strike them,
nor any scorching heat,(C)
17 for the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd,
and he will guide them to springs of the water of life,
and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”(D)
