14 I answered, “Sir, you know.”

And he said, “These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes(A) and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.(B) 15 Therefore,

    and serve him(D) day and night in his temple;(E)
and he who sits on the throne(F)
    will shelter them with his presence.(G)
16 ‘Never again will they hunger;
    never again will they thirst.(H)
The sun will not beat down on them,’[a]
    nor any scorching heat.(I)
17 For the Lamb at the center of the throne
    will be their shepherd;(J)
‘he will lead them to springs of living water.’[b](K)
