RE-18:1 And after these things I saw another angel come down
from heaven,
having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.
RE-18:2 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.
RE-18:3 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.
RE-18:4 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.
RE-18:5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath
remembered her
iniquities.
RE-18:6 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.
RE-18:7 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.
RE-18:8 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.
RE-18:9 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,
RE-18:10 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.
RE-18:11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn
over her; for no
man buyeth their merchandise any more:
RE-18:12 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,
RE-18:13 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.
RE-18:14 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.
RE-18:15 The merchants of these things, which were made rich by
her, shall
stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,
RE-18:16 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!
RE-18:17 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,
RE-18:18 And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning,
saying, What [city
is] like unto this great city!
RE-18:19 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.
RE-18:20 Rejoice over her, [thou] heaven, and [ye] holy
apostles and prophets;
for God hath avenged you on her.
RE-18:21 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.
RE-18:22 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;
RE-18:23 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.
RE-18:24 And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of
saints, and of all
that were slain upon the earth.
