Revelation 5:9

And they sang a new song:
"You are worthy to take the scroll and break its seals,
for you were slain,
and with your blood you purchased for God
people from every tribe
and language
and people (ethnic groups)
and peoples (ethnic groups).
[The same four words appear again in Rev 7:9 – in reverse order, except for "tribes".]
