And after
these things
I saw
another
angel
come down
from
heaven
, having
great
power
; and
the earth
was lightened
with
his
glory
.
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
.
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
.
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
.
For her
sins
have reached
unto
heaven
, and
God
hath remembered
her
iniquities
.
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
.
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
.
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
.
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
,
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
.
And the merchants
of the earth
shall weep
and
mourn
over
her
; for
no man
buyeth
their
merchandise
any more
:
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
,
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
.
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
.
The merchants of these things
, which
were made rich
by
her
, shall stand
afar
off
for
the fear
of her
torment
, weeping
and
wailing
,
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
!
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
,
And cried
when they saw
the smoke
of her
burning
, saying
, What
city is like
unto this great
city
!
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
.
Rejoice over
her
, thou heaven
, and
ye holy
apostles
and
prophets
; for
God
hath avenged
you
on
her
.
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
.
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
;
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
.
And in
her
was found
the blood
of prophets
, and
of saints
, and
of all
that were slain
upon
the earth
.
