Now he is comforted

Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon


withdraw itself: for the LORD shall be thy everlasting light,
and the days of thy mourning shall be ended. He will swallow
up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears
from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he
remove from all the earth. These are they who came out of
the great
tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them
white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore they are before the
throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and
he that
sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them. They shall
hunger
no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on
them, nor any heat. For the Lamb who is in the midst of the
throne shall feed them, and shall lead them to living fountains
of waters. God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and
there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying,
neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things
have
passed away.
The night cometh, when no man can work.
Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from henceforth:
Verily, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours;
and their works follow them. There the wicked cease from
troubling; and there the weary are at rest. Samuel said to
Saul, Why hast thou disquieted me, to bring me up?
Whatever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for
there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in

the grave, where thou goest. The dead praise not the LORD,
neither any that go down into silence.
For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my
departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have
finished my course, I have kept the faith: henceforth there is
laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the
righteous judge, shall give me at that day.
There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. For he
that hath entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his
own works, as God did from his.
