A Multitude from Every Nation

⁹ After these things I looked, and behold, a great ^[a]multitude which no one could count, from ^(A)every nation and all tribes and peoples and tongues, standing ^(B)before the throne and ^(C)before the Lamb, clothed in ^(D)white robes, and ^(E)palm branches were in their hands; ¹⁰ and they cry out with a loud voice, saying,

“^(F)Salvation belongs to our God ^(G)who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb.” ¹¹ And all the angels were standing ^(H)around the throne and ^(I)the elders and the ^(J)four living creatures, and they ^(K)fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, ¹² saying,

“^(L)Amen, ^(M)the blessing and the glory and the wisdom and the thanksgiving and the honor and the power and the strength, be to our God forever and ever. ^(N)Amen.”

¹³ Then one of the elders ^(O)answered, saying to me, “These, clothed in the ^(P)white robes, who are they, and from where have they come?” ¹⁴ And I ^[b]said to him, “My lord, you know.” And he said to me, “These are the ones who come out of the ^(Q)great tribulation, and they ^(R)washed their robes and made them ^(S)white in the ^(T)blood of the Lamb. ¹⁵ For this reason, they are ^(U)before the throne of God; and they ^(V)serve Him day and night in His ^[c](W)sanctuary; and ^(X)He who sits on the throne will ^[d](Y)dwell over them. ^16 (Z)They will hunger no longer, nor thirst anymore; nor will the sun ^[e]beat down on them, nor any heat; ¹⁷ for the Lamb at the center of the throne will ^(AA)shepherd them and will guide them to springs of the ^[f](AB)water of life. And ^(AC)God will wipe every tear from their eyes.”
