Revelation 17:15–18:12

15 And he saith unto me, wThe waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are xpeoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. 16 And ythe ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, zthese shall hate the whore, and ashall make her desolate and bnaked, and bbshall eat her flesh, and cburn her with fire. 17 For God hath dput in their hearts to fulfil his will, and mto agree, and egive their kingdom unto the beast, funtil the words of God shall be fulfilled. 18 And the woman which thou sawest is gthat great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

18 And after these things I saw aanother angel come down from heaven, having great power; and bthe earth was lightened with his glory. 2 And he cried cmightily with a strong voice, saying,

dBabylon the great is fallen, is fallen,

And is become ethe habitation of devils,

And the hold of fevery foul spirit,

And a cage of gevery unclean and hateful bird.

3  For hall nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication,

And ithe kings of the earth have committed fornication with her,

And kthe merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the ||abundance of her ldelicacies.

4  And I heard another voice from heaven, saying,

mCome out of her, my people,

That ye be not partakers of her sins,

And that ye receive not of her plagues.

5  nFor her sins have reached unto heaven,

And oGod hath remembered her iniquities.

6  pReward her even as she rewarded you,

And double unto her double according to her works:

qIn the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.

7  rHow much she hath glorified herself, and llived deliciously,

So much torment and sorrow give her:

For sshe saith in her heart, tI sit a queen,

And tam no widow, and shall see no sorrow.

8  uTherefore shall her plagues come vin one day,

Death, and mourning, and famine;

And wshe shall be utterly burned with fire:

For xstrong is the Lord God who judgeth her.

9  And iythe kings of the earth, iwho have committed fornication and llived deliciously with her,

yzShall bewail her, and lament for her,

aWhen they shall see the smoke of her burning,

10  Standing afar off for the fear of her torment,

bSaying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city!

For cin one hour is thy judgment come.

11  And dthe merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her;

eFor no man buyeth their merchandise any more:

12  The merchandise fof gold, and silver,

And fprecious stones, and fof pearls,

And gfine linen, and fpurple, and silk, and fscarlet,

And all ||thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory,

And all manner vessels of most precious wood,

And of brass, and iron, and hmarble,
