Revelation 18

(Isaiah 21:1–10)

1AfterG3326 thisG3778 I sawG3708 anotherG243 angelG32 descendingG2597 fromG1537 heavenG3772 withG2192 greatG3173 authorityG1849, andG2532 theG3588 earthG1093 was illuminatedG5461 byG1537 hisG846 gloryG1391. 2AndG2532 he cried outG2896 inG1722 a mightyG2478 voiceG5456:

4ThenG2532 I heardG191 anotherG243 voiceG5456 fromG1537 heavenG3772 sayG3004:

Lament over Babylon

9ThenG2532 theG3588 kingsG935 of theG3588 earthG1093 whoG3588 committed sexual immoralityG4203 andG2532 lived in luxuryG4763 withG3326 herG846 will weepG2799 andG2532 wailG2875 atG1909 the sight ofG3752G991 theG3588 smokeG2586 rising fromG3588 the fire that consumesG4451 herG846.5 10InG1223 fearG5401 ofG3588 herG846 tormentG929, they will standG2476 atG575 a distanceG3113 and cry outG3004:

11AndG2532 theG3588 merchantsG1713 of theG3588 earthG1093 will weepG2799 andG2532 mournG3996 overG1909 herG846, becauseG3754 there is no oneG3762 leftG3765 to buyG59 theirG846 cargoG1117— 12cargoG1117 of goldG5557, silverG696, preciousG5093 stonesG3037, andG2532 pearlsG3135; of fine linenG1039, purpleG4209, silkG4596, andG2532 scarletG2847; of all kindsG3956 of citronG2367 woodG3586 andG2532 everyG3956 articleG4632 of ivoryG1661, preciousG5093 woodG3586, bronzeG5475, ironG4604, andG2532 marbleG3139; 13of cinnamonG2792, spiceG299, incenseG2368, myrrhG3464, andG2532 frankincenseG3030; of wineG3631, olive oilG1637, fine flourG4585, andG2532 wheatG4621; of cattleG2934, sheepG4263, horsesG2462, andG2532 carriagesG4480; of bodiesG4983 andG2532 soulsG5590 ofG444 slaves. 14AndG2532 they will say:6

15TheG3588 merchantsG1713 who sold these thingsG3778 and gained their wealthG4147 fromG575 herG846 will standG2476 atG575 a distanceG3113, inG1223 fearG5401 ofG3588 herG846 tormentG929. They will weepG2799 andG2532 mournG3996, 16sayingG3004:

EveryG3956 shipmasterG2942, passengerG3588G4126G1909G5117, andG2532 sailorG3492, andG2532 all whoG3745 make their livingG2038 from theG3588 seaG2281, will standG2476 atG575 a distanceG3113 18andG2532 cry outG2896 at the sightG991 of theG3588 smokeG2586 rising fromG3588 the fire that consumesG4451 herG846. “WhatG5101 city was ever likeG3664 this greatG3173 cityG4172?” they will exclaimG3004.

19ThenG2532 they will throwG906 dustG5522 onG1909 theirG846 headsG2776 as they weepG2799 andG2532 mournG3996 andG2532 cry outG2896G3004:

The Doom of Babylon

21ThenG2532 aG1520 mightyG2478 angelG32 picked upG142 a stoneG3037 the size ofG5613 a greatG3173 millstoneG3458 andG2532 castG906 it intoG1519 theG3588 seaG2281, sayingG3004:

24AndG2532 there was foundG2147 inG1722 herG846 the bloodG129 of prophetsG4396 andG2532 saintsG40, andG2532 of allG3956 whoG3588 had been slainG4969 onG1909 theG3588 earthG1093.
