5 And I saw in the right hand of ahim that sat on the throne ba book written within and con the backside, dsealed with seven seals. 2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof? 3 And no man ein heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon. 4 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon. 5 And fone of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, gthe Lion hof the tribe of Juda, ithe Root of David, khath prevailed to open the book, and to loose lthe seven seals thereof. 6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of mthe four beasts, and in mthe midst of the elders, stood noa Lamb as it had been oslain, having seven horns and pseven eyes, which are qthe seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. 7 And he came and took the book out of the right hand of ahim that sat upon the throne. 8 And when he had taken the book, rthe four beasts and rfour and twenty elders fell down before nthe Lamb, having every one of them sharps, and tgolden vials full of ||odours, uwhich are the prayers of saints. 9 And they sung va new wsong, saying, xThou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for othou wast slain, and xxhast redeemed us to God yby thy blood out of zevery kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 10 And ahast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.

11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels bround about the throne and cthe beasts and the elders: and the number of them was dten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; 12 Saying with a loud voice, eWorthy is fthe Lamb that was slain to receive gipower, and riches, and gwisdom, and gistrength, and ghhonour, and ghjglory, and gkblessing. 13 And levery creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, gkBlessing, and hhonour, and hglory, and mpower, be unto nhim that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever. 14 And othe four beasts said, opAmen. And qthe four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped rhim that liveth for ever and ever.

17 And there came aone of aathe seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, aCome hither; bI will shew unto thee the judgment of cthe great whore dthat sitteth upon many waters: 2 eWith whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and fthe inhabitants of the earth ghave been hmade drunk with the wine of her fornication. 3 So he carried me away iin the spirit kinto the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a lscarlet coloured beast, full of mnames of blasphemy, mnhaving seven heads and moten horns. 4 And the woman was parrayed in qpurple and lscarlet colour, and †decked rwith gold and rprecious stones and spearls, thaving a golden cup in her hand gfull of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: 5 And upon her forehead was a name written, uMYSTERY, gBABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF ||HARLOTS AND vABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. 6 And I saw wthe woman hdrunken xwith the blood of the saints, and with the blood of ythe martyrs zof Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration. 7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee uthe mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath nthe seven heads and oten horns. 8 The beast that thou sawest awas, and is not; and bshall ascend out of cthe bottomless pit, and dgo into perdition: and ethey that dwell on the earth fshall wonder, gwhose names were not written in the book of life gfrom the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. 9 And hhere is the mind which hath wisdom. iThe seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. 10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. 11 And athe beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and dgoeth into perdition. 12 And ikthe ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings lone hour with the beast. 13 These mhave one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. 14 These nshall make war with the Lamb, and othe Lamb shall overcome them: for he is pqLord of lords, and prKing of kings: and rrthey that are with him are stcalled, and suchosen, and vfaithful. 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,

13  And icinnamon, and odours,

And ointments, and ifrankincense,

And wine, and oil,

And kfine…
