Revelation 18:1 to Revelation 18:24
18 And after these things I saw another angel
come down from
heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his
glory.
2 And he cried
mightily with a strong voice, saying, Bab’-y-lon 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.
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.
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.
5 For her sins
have reached unto heaven, and God hath
remembered her iniquities.
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.
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.
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.
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,
10 Standing afar
off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas
that great city Bab’-y-lon, that mighty city! for in one
hour is thy
judgment come.
11 And the
merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over
her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:
12 The merchandise
of gold , and silver, and precious stones,
and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and
scarlet,
and all thyne wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all
manner vessels of precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and
marble,
13 And cinnamon,
and odours, and ointments and franken-
cense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and
beasts,
and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls
of
men.
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.
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,
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!
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,
18 And cried when
they saw the smoke of her burning, saying,
What city is like unto this great city!
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.
20 Rejoice over
her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and
prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.
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 Bab’-y-lon be thrown down, and shall be found no
more at all.
22 And the voice of
the 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;
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.
24 And in her was
found the blood of the prophets, and of
saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.
