Revelation 18

Babylon Is Fallen

1AfterG3326 theseG3778 thingsG3778 I sawG3708 anotherG243 1angelG32 2comingG2597 downG2597 from heavenG3772, havingG2192 greatG3173 authorityG1849, and the earthG1093 was 3illuminatedG5461 from his gloryG1391. 2And he criedG2896 outG2896 with a mightyG2478 voiceG5456, sayingG3004, “45FallenG4098, fallenG4098 is BabylonG897 the greatG3173! She 6has becomeG1096 a dwellingG2732 placeG2732 of demonsG1140 and a 7prisonG5438 of everyG3956 8uncleanG169 spiritG4151, and a 9prisonG5438 of everyG3956 uncleanG169 and hatefulG3404 birdG3732. 3For allG3956 the nationsG1484 have fallenG4098 becauseG1537 ofG1537 the 10wineG3631 of the passionG2372 of her sexualG4202 immoralityG4202, and 11the kingsG935 of the earthG1093 have committedG4203 acts of sexualG4203 immoralityG4203 with her, and the 12merchantsG1713 of the earthG1093 have becomeG4147 richG4147 from the 13excessiveG1411 wealthG1411 of her 1415luxuryG4764.”

4I heardG191 anotherG243 voiceG5456 from heavenG3772, sayingG3004, “16ComeG1831 outG1831 of her, my peopleG2992, soG2443 thatG2443 you will not participateG4790 in her sinsG266 and receiveG2983 any of her plaguesG4127; 5for her sinsG266 have 1718piledG2853 upG2853 as highG891 as heavenG3772, and GodG2316 has 19rememberedG3421 her offensesG92. 620PayG591 her backG591 evenG2532 as she has paidG591, and 21giveG1363 backG1363 to her doubleG1363G1362 accordingG2596 to her deedsG2041; in the 22cupG4221 whichG3739 she has mixedG2767, mixG2767 twiceG1362 asG1362 muchG1362 for her. 723To the extentG3745 that she glorifiedG1392 herselfG846 and 24livedG4763 luxuriouslyG4763, to the sameG5118 extentG5118 giveG1325 her tormentG929 and mourningG3997; for she saysG3004 in her heartG2588, ‘25I sitG2521 as a queenG938 and I amG1510 not a widowG5503, and will neverG3756 seeG3708 mourningG3997.’ 8For thisG3778 reasonG1223 26in oneG1520 dayG2250 her plaguesG4127 will comeG2240, 27plagueG2288 and mourningG3997 and famineG3042, and she will be 28burnedG2618 upG2618 with fireG4442; for the LordG2962 GodG2316 who judgesG2919 her 29is strongG2478.

Grief over Babylon

9“And 30the kingsG935 of the earthG1093, who committedG4203 acts of sexualG4203 immoralityG4203 and 31livedG4763 luxuriouslyG4763 with her, will 32weepG2799 and mournG2875 overG1909 her whenG3752 they 33seeG991 the smokeG2586 of her burningG4451, 1034standingG2476 at a distanceG3113 becauseG1223 of the fearG5401 of her tormentG929, sayingG3004, ‘35WoeG3759, woeG3759, 36the greatG3173 cityG4172, BabylonG897, the strongG2478 cityG4172! For in 37oneG1520 hourG5610 your judgmentG2920 has comeG2064.’

11“And the 38merchantsG1713 of the earthG1093 39weepG2799 and mournG3996 overG1909 her, becauseG3754 noG3762 oneG3762 buysG59 their cargoG1117 anyG3765 moreG3765-- 12cargoG1117 of 40goldG5557, silverG696, preciousG5093 41stonesG3037, and pearlsG3135; fineG1039 linenG1039, purpleG4209, silkG4596, and scarletG2847; everyG3956 kind of citronG2367 woodG3586, everyG3956 articleG4632 of ivoryG1661, and everyG3956 articleG4632 made from veryG5093 valuableG5093 woodG3586, 42bronzeG5475, ironG4604, and marbleG3139; 13cinnamonG2796, 43spiceG299, incenseG2368, perfumeG3464, frankincenseG3030, wineG3631, oliveG1637 oilG1637, fineG4585 flourG4585, wheatG4621, cattleG2934, sheepG4263, and cargo of horsesG2462, carriagesG4480, 44slavesG4983, and 45humanG444 livesG5590. 14The fruitG3703 46you longG1939 forG1939 has leftG565 you, and allG3956 things that were luxuriousG3045 and splendidG2986 have passedG622 awayG622 from you and people will noG3765 longerG3765 findG2147 them. 15The 47merchantsG1713 of 48theseG3778 thingsG3778, who becameG4147 richG4147 from her, will 49standG2476 at a distanceG3113 becauseG1223 of the fearG5401 of her tormentG929, weepingG2799 and mourningG3996, 16sayingG3004, ‘50WoeG3759, woeG3759, 51the greatG3173 cityG4172, she who 52was clothedG4016 in fineG1039 linenG1039 and purpleG4210 and scarletG2847, and 53adornedG5558 with goldG5553, preciousG5093 54stonesG3037, and pearlsG3135; 17for in 55oneG1520 hourG5610 suchG5118 greatG5118 wealthG4149 has been laidG2049 56wasteG2049!’ And 57everyG3956 shipmasterG2942 and everyG3956 58passengerG1909G5117G4126 and sailorG3492, and allG3745 whoG3745 59makeG2038 their livingG2038 by the seaG2281, 60stoodG2476 at a distanceG3113, 18and were 61cryingG2896 outG2896 as they 62sawG991 the smokeG2586 of her burningG4451, sayingG3004, ‘63WhatG5101 city is likeG3664 64the greatG3173 cityG4172?’ 19And they threwG906 65dustG5529 on their headsG2776 and were cryingG2896 outG2896, weepingG2799 and mourningG3996, sayingG3004, ‘66WoeG3759, woeG3759, the greatG3173 cityG4172, in whichG3739 allG3956 who hadG2192 shipsG4143 at seaG2281 67becameG4147 richG4147 from her prosperityG5094, for in 68oneG1520 hourG5610 she has been laidG2049 69wasteG2049!’ 2070RejoiceG2165 overG1909 her, O heavenG3772, and you 71saintsG40 and 72apostlesG652 and prophetsG4396, becauseG3754 73GodG2316 has 74pronouncedG2919 judgmentG2917 for you againstG1537 her.”

21ThenG2532 75a 76strongG2478 angelG32 77pickedG142 upG142 a stoneG3037 likeG5613 a greatG3173 millstoneG3457 and threwG906 it into the seaG2281, sayingG3004, “SoG3779 will BabylonG897, 78the greatG3173 cityG4172, be thrownG906 down with violenceG3731, and 79will neverG3756G3361 be foundG2147 againG2089. 22And 80the soundG5456 of harpistsG2790, musiciansG3451, fluteG834 playersG834, and trumpetersG4538 will neverG3756G3361 be heardG191 in you againG2089; and noG3756G3361G3956 craftsmanG5079 of anyG3956 craftG5078 will everG3756G3361 be foundG2147 in you againG2089; and the 81soundG5456 of a millG3458 will neverG3756G3361 be heardG191 in you againG2089; 23and the lightG5457 of a lampG3088 will neverG3756G3361 shineG5316 in you againG2089; and the 82voiceG5456 of the groomG3566 and brideG3565 will neverG3756G3361 be heardG191 in you againG2089; for your 83merchantsG1713 were the powerfulG3175 peopleG3175 of the earthG1093, becauseG3754 allG3956 the nationsG1484 were deceivedG4105 84by your witchcraftG5331. 24And in her was foundG2147 the 85bloodG129 of prophetsG4396 and of 86saintsG40, and of 87allG3956 who have been slaughteredG4969 on the earthG1093.”
