After this, I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth so that no wind would blow on the earth, the sea, or any tree.

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

Then I saw another angel ascending from the east, holding the seal of the living God. He called out with a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm the earth and the sea,

And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,

saying, “Do not harm the earth, the sea, or the trees until we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.”

Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.

After this, I looked, and there was a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, tribe, people, and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands.

After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;

And they cried out in a loud voice, “Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!”

And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.

And all the angels stood around the throne, the elders, and the four living creatures. They fell facedown before the throne and worshiped God,

And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,

saying, “Amen! Blessing, glory, wisdom, thanksgiving, honor, power, and strength be to our God forever and ever. Amen!”

Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.

Then one of the elders answered, saying to me, “These people dressed in white robes—who are they, and where did they come from?”

And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?

I said to him, 'Sir, you know.' And he said to me, 'These are the ones coming out of the great tribulation. They have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.'

And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

For this reason, they are before the throne of God, and they serve him day and night in his temple. The one who sits on the throne will spread his shelter over them.

Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.

They will no longer hunger or thirst, nor will the sun beat down on them, nor any scorching heat.

They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.

For the Lamb at the center of the throne will shepherd them. He will lead them to springs of living water, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.

For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.
