And He who sits on the throne will (C)dwell among them. 16 (D)They shall neither hunger anymore nor thirst anymore; (E)the sun shall not strike them, nor any heat; 17 for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne (F)will shepherd them and lead them to [b]living fountains of waters. (G)And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”
