Revelation 18:17-24

17ForG3754 in a singleG1520 hourG5610 such fabulousG5118 wealthG4149 has been destroyedG2049 !”

EveryG3956 shipmasterG2942 , passengerG3588 G4126 G1909 G5117, 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 outG2896 G3004:

“WoeG3759, woeG3759 to theG3588 greatG3173 cityG4172,where allG3956 whoG3588 hadG2192 shipsG4143 onG1722 theG3588 seaG2281were enrichedG4147 byG1537 herG846 wealthG5094!ForG3754 in a singleG1520 hourG5610she has been destroyedG2049.”

20RejoiceG2165 overG1909 herG846, O heavenG3772,andG2532 you saintsG40 andG2532 apostlesG652 andG2532 prophetsG4396,becauseG3754 GodG2316 has pronouncedG2919 for youG4771 His judgmentG2917 againstG1537 herG846.

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

“With suchG3779 violenceG3731theG3588 greatG3173 cityG4172 of BabylonG897 will be cast downG906 ,never to beG3756 G3361 G2147 seen againG2089.22AndG2532 the soundG5456 of harpistsG2790 andG2532 musiciansG3451 ,of flute playersG834 andG2532 trumpetersG4538,will never ring outG3756 G3361 G191 inG1722 youG4771 againG2089.Nor will anyG3956 craftsmenG5079 of anyG3956 tradeG5078beG3756 G3361 G2147 found inG1722 youG4771 againG2089,nor the soundG5456 of a millstoneG3458be heardG3756 G3361 G191 inG1722 youG4771 againG2089.23 The lightG5457 of a lampG3088will never shineG3756 G3361 G5316 inG1722 youG4771 againG2089,andG2532 the voicesG5456 of a brideG3565 andG2532 bridegroomG3566will never call outG3756 G3361 G191 inG1722 youG4771 againG2089.ForG3754 yourG4771 merchantsG1713 wereG1510 theG3588 great onesG3175 of theG3588 earthG1093,becauseG3754 allG3956 theG3588 nationsG1484 were deceivedG4105 byG1722 yourG4771 sorceryG5331.”

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