3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying:

"Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man,

and He will dwell with them.

They will be His people,

and God Himself will be with them as their God.*

4 ‘He will wipe away every tear from their eyes,’*

and there will be no more death

or mourning or crying or pain,

for the former things have passed away."
