Revelation 18
1
And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and
the earth was lightened with his glory.
2
And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying,
Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
3
For all nations have drunk of the wine of
the wrath of her fornication
, and the kings of the earth have
committed fornication with her
, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her
delicacies
.
4
And I heard another voice from heaven, saying,
Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
5
For her sins have reached unto heaven, and
God hath remembered her iniquities.
6
Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled
fill to her double
.
7
How much she hath [glorified herself[, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart,
I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
8
Therefore shall her
plagues
come in one day,
death
, and
mourning
, and
famine
; and she shall be utterly
burned
with fire: for strong is
the Lord
God
who judgeth her.
9
And the kings of the earth, who have committed
fornication
and
lived deliciously
with her, shall bewail her, and
lament
for her, when they shall see the
smoke
of her burning,
10
Standing afar off for the fear of her
torment
, saying,
Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.
11
And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her
; for
no man buyeth their merchandise any more
:
12
The merchandise of
gold
, and
silver
, and
precious stones
, and of
pearls
, and
fine linen
, and
purple
, and
silk
, and
scarlet
, and all
thyine
wood, and all manner vessels of
ivory
, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,
13
And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and
oil
, and fine flour, and wheat, and
beasts
, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and
souls of men
.
14
And the fruits that thy
soul
lusted after are departed from
thee
, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more
at all.
15
The merchants of these things, which were
made rich by her
, shall stand afar off for the fear of her
torment
, weeping and wailing,
16
And saying,
Alas, alas that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls!
17
For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
18
And
cried
when they saw the
smoke
of her
burning
, saying,
What city is like unto this great city!
19
And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.
20
Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.
21
And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying,
Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.
22
And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and
trumpeters
, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever
craft
he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee;
23
And the light of a
candle
shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the
bridegroom
and of the
bride
shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.
24
And in her was found
the blood of prophets
, and of
saints
, and of
all that were slain upon the earth
.
