Revelation 18:20-24

Modern English Version

²⁰ “Rejoice over her, O heaven
    and saints and apostles and prophets,
for God has avenged you against her.”

“With such violence
    shall that great city Babylon be thrown down,
    and shall be found no more.
²² The sound of harpists and musicians, flute players and trumpeters,
    shall not be heard in you any more.
No craftsman of any craft
    shall be found in you any more,
and the sound of a millstone
    shall not be heard in you any more.
²³ The light of a lamp
    shall shine in you no more,
and the voice of bridegroom and of bride
    shall be heard in you no more.
For your merchants were the great men of the earth,
    and all nations were deceived by your sorcery.
²⁴ In her was found the blood of prophets and of saints
    and of all who were slain on the earth.”
