¹ And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on every tree.

² And I saw another angel coming up from the rising of the sun, having a seal of the living God. And he cried with a great voice to the four angels to whom it was given to them to harm the earth and the sea,

³ saying, Do not harm the earth, nor the sea, nor the trees, until we seal the slaves of our God on their foreheads.

⁹ After these things I saw, and behold, a large multitude which no one was able to number them, out of every nation, even tribes and peoples and languages, standing in front of the throne, and before the Lamb, having been clothed with white robes, and in their hands palm branches.

¹⁰ And they cry with a great voice, saying, Salvation to our God, the One sitting on the throne, and to the Lamb.

¹¹ And all the angels and of the elders and of the four living creatures stood around the throne. And they fell before the throne on their faces, and worshiped God,

¹² saying, Amen. Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and strength to our God to the ages of the ages. Amen.

¹³ And one of the elders answered, saying to me, These, the ones having been clothed in the white robes, who are they, and from where did they come?

¹⁴ And I said to him, Sir, you know. And he said to me, These are the ones coming out of the great tribulation; and they washed their robes and whitened them in the blood of the Lamb.

¹⁵ Because of this they are before the throne of God, and serve Him day and night in His temple. And the One sitting on the throne tabernacled over them.

¹⁶ And they will not hunger still, nor will they thirst still, nor the sun shall not fall on them, nor any kind of heat, not ever!

¹⁷ Because the Lamb in the midst of the throne will shepherd them, and will lead them on the living springs of waters; and God will wipe off every tear from their eyes.
