Revelation 18:20–24

20 Rejoice over her, heaven

and the saints and the apostles and the prophets,

because God has pronounced your judgment on her!”

21 And one powerful angel picked up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying,

“In this way Babylon the great city will be thrown down with violence,

and will never be found again!

22 And the sound of harpists and musicians and flute players and trumpeters

will never be heard in you again!

And every craftsman of every trade

will never be found in you again!

And the sound of a mill

will never be heard in you again!

23 And the light of a lamp

will never shine in you again!

And the sound of a bridegroom and bride

will never be heard in you again!

For your merchants were the most important people of the earth,

because with your sorcery they deceived all the nations.

24 And in her was found the blood of prophets and saints

and all those who had been slaughtered on the earth.
