The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Book 73: Apocalypse: The Challoner Revision
Bible. Revelation
18:19. And they cast dust upon their heads and cried, weeping and
mourning, saying: Alas! alas! that great city, wherein all were made
rich, that had ships at sea, by reason of her prices. For, in one hour
she is made desolate.
18:20. Rejoice over her, thou heaven and ye holy apostles and prophets.
For God hath judged your judgment on her.
18:21. And a mighty angel took up a stone, as it were a great millstone,
and cast it into the sea, saying: With such violence as this, shall
Babylon, that great city, be thrown down and shall be found no more at
all.
18:22. And the voice of harpers and of musicians and of them that play
on the pipe and on the trumpet shall no more be heard at all in thee:
and no craftsman of any art whatsoever shall be found any more at all in
thee: and the sound of the mill shall be heard no more at all in thee:
18:23. And the light of the lamp shall shine no more at all in thee: and
the voice of the bridegroom and the bride shall be heard no more at all
in thee. For thy merchants were the great men of the earth: for all
nations have been deceived by thy enchantments.
18:24. And in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints and of
all that were slain upon the earth.
Apocalypse Chapter 19

heaven, saying: Alleluia. Salvation and glory and power is to our God.

harlot which corrupted the earth with her fornication and hath revenged
the blood of his servants, at her hands.

and ever.

fell down and adored God that sitteth upon the throne, saying: Amen.
Alleluia.

God, all ye his servants: and you that fear him, little and great.

voice of many waters, and as the voice of great thunders, saying:
Alleluia: for the Lord our God, the Almighty, hath reigned.

of the Lamb is come: and his wife hath prepared herself.

linen, glittering and white. For the fine linen are the justifications
of saints.

marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith to me: These words of God are
true.
19:10. And I fell down before his feet, to adore him. And he saith to
me: See thou do it not. I am thy fellow servant and of thy brethren who
have the testimony of Jesus. Adore God. For the testimony of Jesus is
the spirit of prophecy.
