Thenhe showedme a riverof the waterof life,clearas crystal,comingfrom the throneof Godand of the Lamb,
There is a riverwhose streamsmakegladthe cityof God,The holydwellingplacesof the MostHigh.
"I will openriverson the bareheightsAnd springsin the midstof the valleys;I will makethe wildernessa poolof waterAnd the drylandfountainsof water.
"Ifonlyyou had paidattentionto My commandments!Then your well-beingwould have beenlike a river,And your righteousnesslike the wavesof the sea.
For thussaysthe LORD,"Behold,I extendpeaceto her like a river,And the gloryof the nationslike an overflowingstream;And you will be nursed,you will be carriedon the hipand fondledon the knees.
O LORD,the hopeof Israel,Allwho forsakeYou will be putto shame.Those who turnawayon earthwill be writtendown,Becausethey have forsakenthe fountainof livingwater,even the LORD.
"For My peoplehave committedtwoevils:They have forsakenMe, The fountainof livingwaters,To hewfor themselves cisterns,BrokencisternsThat canholdnowater.
And in that daylivingwaterswill flowout of Jerusalem,halfof them towardthe easternseaand the other halftowardthe westernsea;it will be in summeras well as in winter.
ifGodis glorifiedin Him, Godwill alsoglorifyHim in Himself,and will glorifyHim immediately.
"Whenthe Helpercomes,whomI will sendto you from the Father,[that is] the Spiritof truthwhoproceedsfrom the Father,He will testifyaboutMe,
but whoeverdrinksof the waterthat I will givehim shall neverthirst;but the waterthat I will givehim will becomein him a wellof waterspringingup to eternallife."
"Thereforehaving been exaltedto the right handof God,and having receivedfrom the Fatherthe promiseof the HolySpirit,He has poured forththiswhichyou bothseeand hear.
The Revelationof JesusChrist,whichGodgaveHim to showto His bond-servants,the things whichmustsoontake place;and He sentand communicated[it] by His angelto His bond-servantJohn,

ThenHe saidto me, "It is done.I am the Alphaand the Omega,the beginningand the end.I will giveto the one who thirstsfrom the springof the waterof lifewithout cost.
Thenoneof the sevenangelswho hadthe sevenbowlsfullof the sevenlastplaguescameand spokewith me, saying,"Come here,I will showyou the bride,the wifeof the Lamb."
The Spiritand the bridesay,"Come."And let the one who hearssay,"Come."And let the one who is thirstycome;let the one who wishestakethe waterof lifewithout cost.
And he saidto me, "Thesewordsare faithfuland true";and the Lord,the Godof the spiritsof the prophets,sentHis angelto showto His bond-servantsthe things whichmustsoontake place.
He who overcomes,I will grantto him to sitdownwith Me on My throne,as I alsoovercameand sat downwith My Fatheron His throne.

And I sawbetweenthe throne(with the fourliving creatures)and the eldersa Lambstanding,as ifslain,havingsevenhornsand seveneyes,whichare the sevenSpiritsof God,sentout into allthe earth.
