CHAPTER 18 :1 And after <G 3326> these <G 5023> things I saw <G

1492> another <G 0243> angel <G 0032> come <G 2597> down <G

2597> from heaven <G 3772>, having <G 2192> great <G 3173> power

<G 1849>; and the earth <G 1093> was lightened <G 5461> with his

glory <G 1391>.

:2 And he cried <G 2896> mightily <G 2479> with a strong <G

3173> voice <G 5456>, saying <G 3004>, Babylon <G 0897> the

great <G 3173> is fallen <G 4098>, is fallen <G 4098>, and is

become <G 1096> the habitation <G 2732> of devils <G 1142>, and

the hold <G 5438> of every <G 3956> foul <G 0169> spirit <G

4151>, and a cage <G 5438> of every <G 3956> unclean <G 0169>

and hateful <G 3404> bird <G 3732>.

:3 For all <G 3956> nations <G 1484> have drunk of the wine <G

3631> of the wrath <G 2372> of her fornication <G 4202>, and the

kings <G 0935> of the earth <G 1093> have committed <G 4203>

fornication <G 4203> with her, and the merchants <G 1713> of the

earth <G 1093> are waxed <G 4147> rich <G 4147> through <G 1537>

the abundance <G 1411> of her delicacies <G 4764>.

:4 And I heard <G 0191> another <G 0243> voice <G 5456> from

heaven <G 3772>, saying <G 3004>, Come <G 1831> out of her, my

people <G 2992>, that ye be not partakers <G 4790> of her sins

<G 0266>, and that ye receive <G 2983> not of her plagues <G

4127>.

:5 For her sins <G 0266> have reached <G 0190> unto heaven <G

3772>, and God <G 2316> hath remembered <G 3421> her iniquities

<G 0092>.

:6 Reward <G 0591> her even <G 2532> as she rewarded <G 0591>

you, and double <G 1363> unto her double <G 1362> according <G

2596> to her works <G 2041>: in the cup <G 4221> which <G 3739>

she hath filled <G 2767> fill <G 2767> to her double <G 1362>.

:7 How <G 3745> much <G 3745> she hath glorified <G 1392>

herself <G 1438>, and lived deliciously <G 4763>, so <G 5118>

much <G 5118> torment <G 0929> and sorrow <G 3997> give <G 1325>

her: for she saith <G 3004> in her heart <G 2588>, I sit <G

2521> a queen <G 0938>, and am <G 1510> no <G 3756> widow <G

5503>, and shall see <G 1492> no <G 3364> sorrow <G 3997>.

:8 Therefore <G 5124> shall her plagues <G 4127> come <G 2240>

in one <G 3391> day <G 2250>, death <G 2288>, and mourning <G

3997>, and famine <G 3042>; and she shall be utterly <G 2618>

burned <G 2618> with fire <G 4442>: for strong <G 2478> [is] the

Lord <G 2962> God <G 2316> who <G 3588> judgeth <G 2919> her.

:9 And the kings <G 0935> of the earth <G 1093>, who <G 3588>

have committed <G 4203> fornication <G 4203> and lived

deliciously <G 4763> with her, shall bewail <G 2799> her, and

lament <G 2875> for her, when <G 3752> they shall see <G 0991>

the smoke <G 2586> of her burning <G 4451>,

:10 Standing <G 2476> afar <G 3113> off <G 0575> for the fear <G

5401> of her torment <G 0929>, saying <G 3004>, Alas <G 3758>,

alas <G 3758>, that great <G 3173> city <G 4172> Babylon <G

0897>, that mighty <G 2478> city <G 4172>! for in one <G 3391>

hour <G 5610> is thy judgment <G 2920> come <G 2064>.

:11 And the merchants <G 1713> of the earth <G 1093> shall weep

<G 2799> and mourn <G 3996> over <G 1909> her; for no <G 3762>

man <G 3762> buyeth <G 0059> their merchandise <G 1117> any <G

3765> more <G 3765>:

:12 The merchandise <G 1117> of gold <G 5557>, and silver <G

0696>, and precious <G 5093> stones <G 3037>, and of pearls <G

3135>, and fine linen <G 1040>, and purple <G 4209>, and silk <G

4596>, and scarlet <G 2847>, and all <G 3956> thyine <G 2367>

wood <G 3586>, and all <G 3956> manner vessels <G 4632> of ivory

<G 1661>, and all <G 3956> manner vessels <G 4632> of most

precious <G 5093> wood <G 3586>, and of brass <G 5475>, and iron

<G 4604>, and marble <G 3139>,

:13 And cinnamon <G 2792>, and odours <G 2368>, and ointments <G

3464>, and frankincense <G 3030>, and wine <G 3631>, and oil <G

1637>, and fine <G 4585> flour <G 4585>, and wheat <G 4621>, and

beasts <G 2934>, and sheep <G 4263>, and horses <G 2462>, and

chariots <G 4480>, and slaves <G 4983>, and souls <G 5590> of

men <G 0444>.

:14 And the fruits <G 3703> that thy soul <G 5590> lusted <G

1937> after are departed <G 0565> from thee, and all <G 3956>

things which <G 3588> were dainty <G 3045> and goodly <G 2986>

are departed <G 0565> from thee, and thou shalt find <G 2147>

them no <G 3764> more <G 3765> at all <G 3364>.

:15 The merchants <G 1713> of these <G 5130> things, which <G

3588> were made <G 4147> rich <G 4147> by her, shall stand <G

2476> afar <G 3113> off <G 0575> for the fear <G 5401> of her

torment <G 0929>, weeping <G 2799> and wailing <G 3996>,

:16 And saying <G 3004>, Alas <G 3758>, alas <G 3758>, that

great <G 3173> city <G 4172>, that was clothed <G 4016> in fine

linen <G 1039>, and purple <G 4210>, and scarlet <G 2847>, and

decked <G 5558> with gold <G 5557>, and precious <G 5093> stones

<G 3037>, and pearls <G 3135>!

:17 For in one <G 3391> hour <G 5610> so <G 5118> great <G 5118>

riches <G 4149> is come <G 2049> to nought <G 2049>. And every

<G 3956> shipmaster <G 2942>, and all <G 3956> the company <G

3658> in ships <G 4143>, and sailors <G 3492>, and as many <G

3745> as trade <G 2038> by sea <G 2281>, stood <G 2476> afar <G

3113> off <G 0575>,

:18 And cried <G 2896> when they saw <G 3708> the smoke <G 2586>

of her burning <G 4451>, saying <G 3004>, What <G 5101> [city <G

4172> is] like <G 3664> unto this great <G 3173> city <G 4172>!

:19 And they cast <G 0906> dust <G 5522> on <G 1909> their heads

<G 2776>, and cried <G 2896>, weeping <G 2799> and wailing <G

3996>, saying <G 3004>, Alas <G 3758>, alas <G 3758>, that great

<G 3173> city <G 4172>, wherein <G 3757> were made <G 4147> rich

<G 4147> all <G 3956> that had <G 2192> ships <G 4143> in the

sea <G 2281> by reason <G 1537> of her costliness <G 5094>! for

in one hour <G 5610> is she made <G 2049> desolate <G 2049>.

:20 Rejoice <G 2165> over <G 1909> her, [thou] heaven <G 3772>,

and [ye] holy <G 0040> apostles and prophets <G 4396>; for God

<G 2316> hath avenged <G 2917> you on <G 1537> her.

:21 And a mighty <G 2478> angel <G 0032> took <G 0142> up a

stone <G 3037> like <G 5613> a great <G 3173> millstone <G 3458>,

 and cast <G 0906> [it] into <G 1519> the sea <G 2281>, saying

<G 3004>, Thus <G 3779> with violence <G 3731> shall that great

<G 3173> city <G 4172> Babylon <G 0897> be thrown <G 0906> down,

and shall be found <G 2147> no <G 3364> more <G 2089> at all <G

3364>.

:22 And the voice <G 5456> of harpers <G 2790>, and musicians <G

3451>, and of pipers <G 0834>, and trumpeters <G 4538>, shall be

heard <G 0191> no <G 3364> more <G 2089> at all <G 3364> in thee;

 and no <G 3364> craftsman <G 5079>, of whatsoever <G 3956>

craft <G 5078> [he be], shall be found <G 2147> any <G 2089>

more <G 2089> in thee; and the sound <G 5456> of a millstone <G

3458> shall be heard <G 0191> no <G 3364> more <G 2089> at all

<G 3364> in thee;

:23 And the light <G 5457> of a candle <G 3088> shall shine <G

5316> no <G 3364> more <G 2089> at all <G 3364> in thee; and the

voice <G 5456> of the bridegroom <G 3566> and of the bride <G

3565> shall be heard <G 0191> no <G 3364> more <G 2089> at all

<G 3364> in thee: for thy merchants <G 1713> were the great <G

3175> men of the earth <G 1093>; for by thy sorceries <G 5331>

were all <G 3956> nations <G 1484> deceived <G 4105>.

:24 And in her was found <G 2147> the blood <G 0129> of prophets

<G 4396>, and of saints <G 0040>, and of all <G 3956> that were

slain <G 4969> upon the earth <G 1093>.
