 1 Now after these things I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was illuminated with his glory.
 2 And he shouted out mightily with a loud voice, saying, “Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and has be-come     the     dwelling     place     for demons, and the prison for every foul spirit, and a cage for every unclean and hateful bird!
 3 Because    all    the    nations    have drunk of the grape juice of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abun-dance of her luxury.”
 4 And I heard another voice from heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people, that you do not be partakers of her sins, and that you do not receive of her plagues.
 5 Because her sins have reached to heaven  and  God  has  remembered her iniquities.
 6 Repay  her  just  as  she  paid  you, and pay back to her double ac-cording to her works; in the cup that she has mixed, mix to her double.
 7 In the measure that she glorified herself and lived lavishly, in the same measure give her torment and sorrow; because she says in her heart, ‘I sit as queen, and am no widow, and will see no sorrow.’ 
 8 Therefore her plagues will come in one day, death and mourning and famine. And she will be utterly burned with fire, because mighty is the Lord God who judges her.
 9 “And the kings of the earth who have   committed   fornication   and lived lavishly with her will weep for her, and lament for her, when they see the smoke of her burning,
 10 standing at a distance for fear of her torment, saying, ‘Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city!   Because   in   one   hour   your judgment has come.’
 11 And the merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her, because no one buys their mer-chandise anymore:
 12 the merchandise of gold and silver, precious stones and pearls, fine linen and purple, silk and scarlet, and every kind of citron wood, and every kind of object of ivory, and every kind of object of most precious wood, bronze, iron, and marble;
 13 and cinnamon and incense, and fragrant oil and frankincense, grape juice and oil, fine flour and wheat, cattle and sheep, horses and chariots, slaves and souls of men.
 14 And the fruits that your soul lusted after have departed from you, and all things that were dainty and splendid have departed from you, and you will not find them anymore.
 15 The merchants of these things who became rich by her, will stand at a distance because of the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,
 16 and saying, ‘Alas, alas, that great city that was clothed in fine linen, purple, and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls!
 17 Because in one hour such great riches came to nothing.’ And every shipmaster, all who travel by ship, sailors, and as many as trade on the sea, stood at a distance
 18 and cried out when they saw the smoke    of    her    burning,    saying, ‘What city is like this great city!’
 19 And threw dust on their heads and shouted out, weeping and wailing, saying, ‘Alas, alas, that great city, in that all who had ships on the sea became rich by her wealth! Because in one hour she is made desolate.
 20 Rejoice over her, you heaven, and you holy apostles and prophets, because God has avenged you on her!”
 21 Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a large millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, “Thus with violence will that great city Babylon be thrown down, and will not be found anymore.
 22 And the sound of harpists, musicians,  flutists,  and  trum-peters will not be heard in you anymore. And no craftsman of any craft he is, will be found in you anymore, and the sound of a millstone will not be heard in you anymore.
 23 And the light of a lamp will not shine   in   you   anymore,   and   the voice of the bridegroom and bride will not be heard in you anymore. Because, your merchants were the great men of the earth, because by your sorceries all the nations were deceived.
 24 And in her was found the blood of prophets  and  of  saints, and all who 

were slain on the earth.”
