1After<3326> these<3778> things<3778> I saw<3708> another<243> angel<32> coming<2597> down<2597> from heaven<3772>, having<2192> great<3173> authority<1849>, and the earth<1093> was illumined<5461> with his glory<1391>.
2And he cried<2896> out with a mighty<2478> voice<5456>, saying<3004>, "Fallen<4098>, fallen<4098> is Babylon<897> the great<3173>! She has become<1096> a dwelling<2732> place<2732> of demons<1140> and a prison<5438> of every<3956> unclean<169> spirit<4151>, and a prison<5438> of every<3956> unclean<169> and hateful<3404> bird<3732>.
3"For all<3956> the nations<1484> have drunk<4095> of the wine<3631> of the passion<2372> of her immorality<4202>, and the kings<935> of the earth<1093> have committed<4203> acts of immorality<4203> with her, and the merchants<1713> of the earth<1093> have become<4147> rich<4147> by the wealth<1411> of her sensuality<4764>."
4I heard<191> another<243> voice<5456> from heaven<3772>, saying<3004>, "Come<1831> out of her, my people<2992>, so<2443> that you will not participate<4790> in her sins<266> and receive<2983> of her plagues<4127>;
5for her sins<266> have piled<2853> up as high<891> as heaven<3772>, and God<2316> has remembered<3421> her iniquities<92>.
6"Pay<591> her back<591> even<2532> as she has paid<591>, and give<1363> back<1363> to her double<1363><1362> according<2596> to her deeds<2041>; in the cup<4221> which<3739> she has mixed<2767>, mix<2767> twice<1362> as much<1362> for her.
7"To the degree<3745> that she glorified<1392> herself<846> and lived<4763> sensuously<4763>, to the same<5118> degree<5118> give<1325> her torment<929> and mourning<3997>; for she says<3004> in her heart<2588>, 'I SIT<2521> as A QUEEN<938> AND I AM<1510> NOT A WIDOW<5503>, and will never<3756> see<3708> mourning<3997>.'
8"For this<3778> reason<1223> in one<1520> day<2250> her plagues<4127> will come<2240>, pestilence<2288> and mourning<3997> and famine<3042>, and she will be burned<2618> up with fire<4442>; for the Lord<2962> God<2316> who judges<2919> her is strong<2478>.
9"And the kings<935> of the earth<1093>, who committed<4203> acts of immorality<4203> and lived<4763> sensuously<4763> with her, will weep<2799> and lament<2875> over<1909> her when<3752> they see<991> the smoke<2586> of her burning<4451>,
10standing<2476> at a distance<3113> because<1223> of the fear<5401> of her torment<929>, saying<3004>, 'Woe<3759>, woe<3759>, the great<3173> city<4172>, Babylon<897>, the strong<2478> city<4172>! For in one<1520> hour<5610> your judgment<2920> has come<2064>.'
11"And the merchants<1713> of the earth<1093> weep<2799> and mourn<3996> over<1909> her, because<3754> no<3762> one<3762> buys<59> their cargoes<1117> any<3765> more<3765>--
12cargoes<1117> of gold<5557> and silver<696> and precious<5093> stones<3037> and pearls<3135> and fine<1039> linen<1039> and purple<4209> and silk<4596> and scarlet<2847>, and every<3956> kind of citron<2367> wood<3586> and every<3956> article<4632> of ivory<1661> and every<3956> article<4632> made from very<5093> costly<5093> wood<3586> and bronze<5475> and iron<4604> and marble<3139>,
13and cinnamon<2796> and spice<299> and incense<2368> and perfume<3464> and frankincense<3030> and wine<3631> and olive<1637> oil<1637> and fine<4585> flour<4585> and wheat<4621> and cattle<2934> and sheep<4263>, and cargoes of horses<2462> and chariots<4480> and slaves<4983> and human<444> lives<5590>.
14"The fruit<3703> you long<1939> for has gone<565> from you, and all<3956> things that were luxurious<3045> and splendid<2986> have passed<622> away<622> from you and men will no<3765> longer<3765> find<2147> them.
15"The merchants<1713> of these<3778> things<3778>, who became rich<4147> from her, will stand<2476> at a distance<3113> because<1223> of the fear<5401> of her torment<929>, weeping<2799> and mourning<3996>,
16saying<3004>, 'Woe<3759>, woe<3759>, the great<3173> city<4172>, she who was clothed<4016> in fine<1039> linen<1039> and purple<4210> and scarlet<2847>, and adorned<5558> with gold<5553> and precious<5093> stones<3037> and pearls<3135>;
17for in one<1520> hour<5610> such<5118> great<5118> wealth<4149> has been laid<2049> waste<2049>!' And every<3956> shipmaster<2942> and every<3956> passenger<1909><5117><4126> and sailor<3492>, and as many<3745> as make<2038> their living<2038> by the sea<2281>, stood<2476> at a distance<3113>,
18and were crying<2896> out as they saw<991> the smoke<2586> of her burning<4451>, saying<3004>, 'What<5101> city is like<3664> the great<3173> city<4172>?'
19"And they threw<906> dust<5529> on their heads<2776> and were crying<2896> out, weeping<2799> and mourning<3996>, saying<3004>, 'Woe<3759>, woe<3759>, the great<3173> city<4172>, in which<3739> all<3956> who had<2192> ships<4143> at sea<2281> became rich<4147> by her wealth<5094>, for in one<1520> hour<5610> she has been laid<2049> waste<2049>!'
20"Rejoice<2165> over<1909> her, O heaven<3772>, and you saints<40> and apostles<652> and prophets<4396>, because<3754> God<2316> has pronounced<2919> judgment<2917> for you against<1537> her."
21Then<2532> a strong<2478> angel<32> took<142> up a stone<3037> like<5613> a great<3173> millstone<3457> and threw<906> it into the sea<2281>, saying<3004>, "So<3779> will Babylon<897>, the great<3173> city<4172>, be thrown<906> down with violence<3731>, and will not be found<2147> any<2089> longer<2089>.
22"And the sound<5456> of harpists<2790> and musicians<3451> and flute-players<834> and trumpeters<4538> will not be heard<191> in you any<2089> longer<2089>; and no<3756><3361><3956> craftsman<5079> of any<3956> craft<5078> will be found<2147> in you any<2089> longer<2089>; and the sound<5456> of a mill<3458> will not be heard<191> in you any<2089> longer<2089>;
23and the light<5457> of a lamp<3088> will not shine<5316> in you any<2089> longer<2089>; and the voice<5456> of the bridegroom<3566> and bride<3565> will not be heard<191> in you any<2089> longer<2089>; for your merchants<1713> were the great<3175> men<3175> of the earth<1093>, because<3754> all<3956> the nations<1484> were deceived<4105> by your sorcery<5331>.
24"And in her was found<2147> the blood<129> of prophets<4396> and of saints<40> and of all<3956> who have been slain<4969> on the earth<1093>."
