018:007 However much she glorified herself, and grew wanton, so much
give her of torment and mourning. For she says in her heart,
'I sit a queen, and am no widow, and will in no way see mourning.'
018:008 Therefore in one day her plagues will come: death, mourning,
and famine; and she will be utterly burned with fire;
for the Lord God who has judged her is strong.
018:009 The kings of the earth, who committed sexual immorality
and lived wantonly with her, will weep and wail over her,
when they look at the smoke of her burning,
018:010 standing far away for the fear of her torment, saying,
'Woe, woe, the great city, Babylon, the strong city!
For your judgment has come in one hour.'
018:011 The merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her, for no
one buys their merchandise any more;
018:012 merchandise of gold, silver, precious stones, pearls, fine linen,
purple, silk, scarlet, all expensive wood, every vessel of ivory,
every vessel made of most precious wood, and of brass,
and iron, and marble;
018:013 and cinnamon, incense, perfume, frankincense, wine, olive oil,
fine flour, wheat, sheep, horses, chariots, and people's
bodies and souls.
018:014 The fruits which your soul lusted after have been lost to you,
and all things that were dainty and sumptuous have perished
from you, and you will find them no more at all.
018:015 The merchants of these things, who were made rich by her,
will stand far away for the fear of her torment,
weeping and mourning;
018:016 saying, 'Woe, woe, the great city, she who was dressed
in fine linen, purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold
and precious stones and pearls!
018:017 For in an hour such great riches are made desolate.'
Every shipmaster, and everyone who sails anywhere, and mariners,
and as many as gain their living by sea, stood far away,
018:018 and cried out as they looked at the smoke of her burning,
saying, 'What is like the great city?'
018:019 They cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and mourning,
saying, 'Woe, woe, the great city, in which all who had their
ships in the sea were made rich by reason of her great wealth!'
For in one hour is she made desolate.
018:020 "Rejoice over her, O heaven, you saints, apostles, and prophets;
for God has judged your judgment on her."
018:021 A mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and cast
it into the sea, saying, "Thus with violence will Babylon,
the great city, be thrown down, and will be found no more at all.
018:022 The voice of harpists, minstrels, flute players, and trumpeters
will be heard no more at all in you. No craftsman,
of whatever craft, will be found any more at all in you.
The sound of a mill will be heard no more at all in you.
