The Multitude from Every Nation
9 After this I looked, and there was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, robed in white, with palm branches in their hands.(A) 10 They cried out in a loud voice, saying,

be to our God forever and ever! Amen.”(C)

and he will guide them to springs of the water of life,
and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”(G)
