Revelation 18:16–24

16 And saying,

bAlas, alas, that great city,

pThat was clothed in gfine linen, and fpurple, and fscarlet,

And decked fwith gold, and precious stones, and fpearls!

17  For cin one hour so great riches qis come to nought.

And every rshipmaster, and all the company in ships,

And sailors, and as many as trade by sea,

Stood afar off, 18 And cried

aWhen they saw the smoke of her burning, saying,

sWhat city is like unto this great city!

19  And tthey cast dust on their heads,

And cried, uweeping and wailing, saying,

bAlas, alas, that great city,

oWherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness!

For cin one hour qis she made desolate.

20  vRejoice over her, thou heaven,

And ye holy wapostles and prophets;

For xGod hath avenged you on her.

21 And a mighty angel ytook up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying,

zThus with violence shall bthat great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.

22  And abthe voice of harpers, and cmusicians, and of dpipers, 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 aethe sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee;

23  And athe light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee;

And afthe voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee:

For gthy merchants were hthe great men of the earth;

For iby thy ksorceries were all nations deceived.

24  And lin her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints,

And of mall that were slain upon the earth.
