The Book of Revelation 18

18 After these things I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was illuminated by his glory. 2 And he cried out in a mighty voice, saying,

“Babylon the Great has fallen!

And she has become a habitation of demons

and a hold of every unclean spirit

and a hold of every unclean and detested bird.[fn]

3 For all the nations have drunk from the wine of her immoral passion

and the kings of the earth have committed sexual 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 from her, my people,

so that you might not share in her sins

and so that you might not receive from her plagues.

5 For her sins have been heaped as far as heaven,

and God has remembered her offenses.

6 Give back to her even as she has given,

and double doubles to her according to her deeds;

in the cup that she mixed, mix double for her.

7 As much as she glorified herself and lived in luxury,

give her just as much torture and grief.

For she says in her heart,

‘I sit as a queen

and I am not a widow

and I will certainly not see mourning.’

8 Because of this in one day her plagues will come:

death and mourning and famine,

and she will be consumed by fire,

for the Lord God judging her is mighty.”

9 And the kings of the earth, the ones having committed sexual immorality and having lived in luxury with her, will weep and wail over her when they see the smoke of her burning, 10 standing from afar because of the fear of her torment, saying,

“Woe, woe, the great city,

Babylon, the mighty city!

For in one hour your judgment has come.”

11 And the merchants of the earth weep and mourn for her, because no one buys her cargo anymore— 12 cargo of gold and silver and precious stone and pearls and fine linen and purple cloth and silk and scarlet cloth and every citron wood and every ivory vessel and every vessel from the costliest wood and bronze and iron and marble 13 and cinnamon and spice and incense and myrrh and frankincense and wine and oil and fine flour and wheat and cattle and sheep and horses and chariots and bodies and souls of men. 14 And your autumn fruit of the desire of your soul has gone away from you, and all the luxurious and the splendid has perished from you, and they will certainly not be found any longer. 15 The merchants of these things, having become rich, will stand afar off from her because of the fear of her torment, weeping and mourning,

16 saying,

“Woe, woe to the great city

having been dressed in fine linen

and purple and scarlet

and adorned with gold

and precious stones and pearls,

17 for in one hour so much wealth has been destroyed.”

And every shipmaster and every one sailing to a place and sailors and as many as work the sea stood from afar

18 and were crying out, seeing the smoke of her burning, saying, “What is like the great city?” 19 And they threw dust on their heads and cried out, weeping and mourning, saying,

“Woe, woe, the great city,

by which all the ones having ships in the sea

became rich from her wealth,

for in one hour she has been destroyed.”

20 (“Rejoice over her, heaven,

also you saints and apostles and prophets,

for God has judged your judgment against her!”)

21 And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying,

“Thus Babylon, the great city,

will be thrown down with violence,

and she will certainly not be seen anymore,

22 and the sound of harpists and musicians

and flutists and trumpeters

will certainly not be heard in you anymore,

and every craftsman

will certainly not be found in you anymore,

and the sound of a mill

will certainly not be heard in you anymore.

23 And the light of a lamp

will certainly not shine in you anymore,

and the voice of a bridegroom and a bride

will certainly not be heard in you anymore,

for your merchants were the great ones 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 the ones having been slain on the earth.”

Some manuscripts read Fallen, fallen.
