11 ^cFor the Lord has ransomed Jacob

^eand they shall be radiant ^fover the goodness of the Lord,
^gover the grain, the wine, and the oil,
and over the young of the flock and the herd;
^htheir life shall be like a watered garden,
ⁱand they shall languish no more.
13 ^jThen shall the young women rejoice in the dance,
and the young men and the old shall be merry.
^kI will turn their mourning into joy;
I will comfort them, and give them gladness for sorrow.
14 ^lI will feast the soul of the priests with abundance,
and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness,

declares the Lord.”

for the Lord is good,
for his steadfast love endures forever!’

Revelation of John 14:1-4

The Lamb and the 144,000

1 Then I looked, and behold, on ^vMount Zion ^wstood the Lamb, and with him ^x144,000 who ^yhad his name and his Father’s name written ^zon their foreheads. 2 And I heard a voice from heaven ^aalike the roar of many waters and ^ablike the sound of loud thunder. The voice I heard was like the sound of ^acharpists playing on their harps, 3 and they were singing ^ada new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and before the elders. ^aeNo one could learn that song except the 144,000 who had been redeemed from the earth. 4 It is these who have not defiled themselves with women, for ^afthey are virgins. It is these ^agwho follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These have been redeemed from mankind as ^ahfirstfruits for God and the Lamb,
