1And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power, and the earth was illuminated with his glory. 2And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of demons, and the hold of every unclean spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. 3For all the Gentiles 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 power of her delicacies. 4And I heard another voice from the heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye not be partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. 5For her sins have reached unto the heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities. 6Reward her even as she rewarded you and pay her double according to her works; in the cup which she has given thee to drink, give her double. 7As much as she has glorified herself and lived deliciously, give her that much torment and sorrow; for she says in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. 8Therefore, 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 judges her. 9And 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, 10Standing 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! 11And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her, for no one buys their merchandise anymore: 12The merchandise of gold and of silver and of precious stones and of pearls and of fine linen and of purple and of silk and of scarlet and of all thyine wood and of all manner vessels of ivory and of all manner vessels of most precious wood and of brass and of iron and of marble 13and cinnamon and odours and ointments and frankincense and wine and oil and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and of sheep, and of horses, and of chariots and of bodies and souls of men. 14And the fruits of the desire of thy soul are departed from thee, and all the fat and excellent things are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all. 15The merchants of these things, who were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing, 16and 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! 17For 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 18and cried out when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What [city was] like unto this great city! 19And they cast dust on their heads and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, in which all that had ships in the sea were made rich by reason of her riches! for in one hour is she made desolate. 20Rejoice over her, [thou] heaven, and [ye] saints, apostles, and prophets; for God has judged your cause upon her. 21And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and cast [it] into the sea, saying, Thus with impetus shall that great city Babylon be thrown down and shall be found no more at all. 22And the voice of harpers and musicians and of pipers and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatever craft [he is], shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee; 23and the light of a lamp 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 princes of the earth in whose witchcraft all the Gentiles have erred. 24And in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints and of all that were slain upon the earth.:
