1After these things I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, on the sea, or on any tree.

1After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth to prevent any wind from blowing on the land or on the sea or on any tree.

2Then 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 granted to harm the earth and the sea,

2Then I saw another angel coming up from the east, having the seal of the living God. He called out in a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm the land and the sea:

3saying, “Do not harm the earth, the sea, or the trees till we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.”

3"Do not harm the land or the sea or the trees until we put a seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God."

4And I heard the number of those who were sealed. One hundred and forty-four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel were sealed:

9After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands,

9After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands.

10and crying out with a loud voice, saying, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!”

10And they cried out in a loud voice: "Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb."

11All the angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four living creatures, and fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God,

11All the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures. They fell down on their faces before the throne and worshiped God,

12saying: “Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom, Thanksgiving and honor and power and might, Be to our God forever and ever. Amen.”

12saying: "Amen! Praise and glory and wisdom and thanks and honor and power and strength be to our God for ever and ever. Amen!"

13Then one of the elders answered, saying to me, “Who are these arrayed in white robes, and where did they come from?”

13Then one of the elders asked me, "These in white robes--who are they, and where did they come from?"

14And I said to him, “Sir, you know.” So he said to me, “These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

14I answered, "Sir, you know." And he said, "These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

15Therefore they are before the throne of God, and serve Him day and night in His temple. And He who sits on the throne will dwell among them.

15Therefore, "they are before the throne of God and serve him day and night in his temple; and he who sits on the throne will shelter them with his presence.

16They shall neither hunger anymore nor thirst anymore; the sun shall not strike them, nor any heat;

16Never again will they hunger; never again will they thirst. The sun will not beat down on them,' nor any scorching heat.

17for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will shepherd them and lead them to living fountains of waters. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”

17For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd; 'he will lead them to springs of living water.' 'And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.'"
