18 [[And]][fn] After these things, I saw [another][fn] angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was illuminated by his glory. 2 And he cried out with a {loud}[fn] voice, saying, “Fallen, [fallen][fn] is Babylon the great, and it has become a dwelling place of demons and a prison of every unclean [[and detestable]][fn] spirit, [and a prison of every unclean and hated bird,][fn] [and a prison of every unclean and hated beast],[fn] 3 because all the nations have {fallen}[fn] [of the wine][fn] of the wrath of her immorality, and the kings of the earth have committed immorality with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich from the power of her luxury.”

4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, “Come out of her, my people, so that you will not participate in her sins and receive her plagues; 5 for her sins have {piled}[fn] up to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities. 6 Repay her as she has repaid [[you]];[fn] [and][fn] double [[to her]][fn] the double according to her deeds; in {the}[fn] cup which she has mixed, mix a double portion for her. 7 As much as she {was glorified}[fn] and lived luxuriously, give her that much torment and mourning. For in her heart she says, ‘[Because][fn] I sit as a queen, I am not a widow, and I will never see mourning.’

8 For this reason her plagues will come in one day, death and mourning and famine, and she will be burned up with fire; for [the Lord God][fn] who judges her is strong.

9 “And the kings of the earth who committed immorality [and lived luxuriously][fn] with her will weep and wail over her when they see the smoke of her burning, 10 standing at a distance for fear of her torment, saying, ‘Woe, woe, the great city, Babylon, the mighty city! For in one hour your judgment [has come].’[fn]

11 “And the merchants of the earth {weep}[fn] and mourn over her, because no one buys their merchandise anymore: 12 gold and silver and precious stone and pearls and fine linen [and purple][fn] and silk and scarlet, and all thyine wood and all ivory vessels and all vessels of most precious wood and bronze and iron and marble, 13 and cinnamon [and spice][fn] and incense [and perfume][fn] and frankincense and wine and oil and fine flour and wheat and cattle and sheep, and horses and chariots and slaves, and human souls. 14 And the fruit of your soul's desire has departed from you, and all the rich and the bright things have {perished}[fn] from you, and {they}[fn] will no longer find them.

15 The merchants of these things, who became rich from her, will stand at a distance because of the fear of her torment, weeping and mourning, 16 saying, ‘Woe, woe, the great city, she who was clothed in fine linen and purple and scarlet, and adorned {with}[fn] gold and precious stones and {a pearl};[fn] 17 for in one hour such great wealth has been laid waste.’ And every shipmaster and everyone who sails {to a place},[fn] [[the company]][fn] and sailors and as many as work the sea, stood from afar, 18 and {were crying out}[fn] as they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, ‘{Who is like the great city?}’[fn] 19 And they threw dust on their heads and {were crying out},[fn] [weeping and mourning,][fn] saying, ‘Woe, [woe,][fn] the great city, in which all who had ships at sea became rich by her wealth, for in one hour she has been laid waste.’ 20 Rejoice over her, O heaven, and {the saints, [and the][fn] apostles and the prophets},[fn] because God has pronounced judgment for you against her.”

21 Then a [strong][fn] angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, “{So}[fn] will Babylon, the great city, be thrown down with violence, and will not be found any longer [[in it]].[fn] 22 [And][fn] The sound of harpists and musicians and flute players and trumpeters will not be heard in you any longer; and no craftsman [of any craft][fn] will be found in you any longer; [and the sound of a mill will not be heard in you any longer;][fn] 23 and the light of a lamp will not shine in you any longer; and the voice of the bridegroom and [[voice of the]][fn] bride will not be heard in you any longer; for your merchants were the great men of the earth, because all the nations were deceived by your sorcery. 24 And in her was found the blood of prophets and saints and of all who have been slain on the earth.”
