[2]And I saw another Angel come up from the East, which had the seal of the living God, and he cried with a loud voice to the four Angels to whom power was given to hurt the earth, and the sea, saying, |
| [3]`Do not injure the land, nor the sea, nor the trees, till we may seal the servants of our God upon their foreheads.' |
[3]Hurt ye not the earth, neither the sea, neither the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads. |

| [9]After these things I saw, and lo, a great multitude, which to number no one was able, out of all nations, and tribes, and peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne, and before the Lamb, arrayed in white robes, and palms in their hands, |
[9]After these things 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 long white robes, and palms in their hands. |
| [10]and crying with a great voice, saying, `The salvation [is] to Him who is sitting upon the throne -- to our God, and to the Lamb!' |
[10]And they cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation cometh of our God, that sitteth upon the throne, and of the Lamb. |

| [14]and I have said to him, `Sir, thou hast known;' and he said to me, `These are those who are coming out of the great tribulation, and they did wash their robes, and they made their robes white in the blood of the Lamb; |
[14]And I said unto him, Lord, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they, which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their long robes and have made their long robes white in the blood of the Lamb. |
| [15]because of this are they before the throne of God, and they do service to Him day and night in His sanctuary, and He who is sitting upon the throne shall tabernacle over them; |

[16]They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more, neither shall the sun light on them, neither any heat. |
| [17]because the Lamb that [is] in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters, and wipe away shall God every tear from their eyes.' |
[17]For the Lamb, which is in the midst of the throne, shall govern them, and shall lead them unto the lively fountains of waters, and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. |
