Revelation 18:17-24
17for in 1one hour such great wealth has been laid 2waste!’ And 3every shipmaster and every 4passenger and sailor, and as many as make their living by the sea, 5stood at a distance, 18and were 6crying out as they 7saw the smoke of her burning, saying, ‘8What city is like 9the great city?’ 19And they threw 10dust on their heads and were crying out, weeping and mourning, saying, ‘11Woe, woe, the great city, in which all who had ships at sea 12became rich by her 13wealth, for in 14one hour she has been laid 15waste!’ 2016Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you 17saints and 18apostles and prophets, because 19God has 20pronounced judgment for you against her.”
21Then 21a 22strong angel 23took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, “So will Babylon, 24the great city, be thrown down with violence, and 25will not be found any longer. 22And 26the sound of harpists and musicians and flute-players and trumpeters will not be heard in you any longer; and no craftsman of any craft will be found in you any longer; and the 27sound of a mill will not be heard in you any longer; 23and the light of a lamp will not shine in you any longer; and the 28voice of the bridegroom and bride will not be heard in you any longer; for your 29merchants were the great men of the earth, because all the nations were deceived 30by your sorcery. 24And in her was found the 31blood of prophets and of 32saints and of 33all who have been slain on the earth.”
