11. All the angels stood around the throne, the elders, and the four living creatures, and they fell facedown before the throne and worshiped God,
12. saying:Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdomand thanksgiving and honorand power and strengthbe to our God forever and ever. Amen.
13. Then one of the elders asked me, “Who are these people robed in white, and where did they come from? ”
14. I said to him, “Sir, you know.”Then he told me:These are the ones coming out of the great tribulation. They washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
15. For this reason they are before the throne of God,and they serve Him day and night in His sanctuary. The One seated on the throne will shelter them:
16. They will no longer hunger;they will no longer thirst;the sun will no longer strike them,nor will any heat.
17. For the Lamb who is at the center of the thronewill shepherd them; He will guide them to springs of living waters, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.
