Revelation 18:19-21

Contemporary English Version

“Pity the great city
    of Babylon!
Everyone who sailed the seas
became rich
    from her treasures.
But in a single hour
    the city was destroyed.
^20 (B) The heavens should be happy
with God's people
    and apostles and prophets.
God has punished her
    for them.”

“This is how the great city
    of Babylon
will be thrown down,
    never to rise again.
