The Israelites ate manna for the next forty years, until they reached the land of Canaan, where they settled.

In your goodness you told them what they should do; you fed them manna and gave them water to drink.

Through forty years in the desert you provided all that they needed; their clothing never wore out, and their feet were not swollen with pain.

Never again will they hunger or thirst; neither sun nor any scorching heat will burn them,

because the Lamb, who is in the center of the throne, will be their shepherd, and he will guide them to springs of life-giving water. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."

"Just as the LORD your God promised your ancestors, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, he will give you a land with large and prosperous cities which you did not build.

The houses will be full of good things which you did not put in them, and there will be wells that you did not dig, and vineyards and olive orchards that you did not plant. When the LORD brings you into this land and you have all you want to eat,

Good people will have wealth to leave to their grandchildren, but the wealth of sinners will go to the righteous.

And so I tell you that those who worship and obey me will have plenty to eat and drink, but you will be hungry and thirsty. They will be happy, but you will be disgraced.

They will sing for joy, but you will cry with a broken heart.

I have sent you to reap a harvest in a field where you did not work; others worked there, and you profit from their work."
