^(F)“What city was like the great city?”

“Alas, alas, for the great city
    ^(H)where all who had ships at sea
    grew rich by her wealth!
For ^(I)in a single hour she has been laid waste.
^20 (J)Rejoice over her, O heaven,
    and you saints and ^(K)apostles and prophets,
for ^(L)God has given judgment for you against her!”

“So will Babylon ^(O)the great city be thrown down with violence,
    and will be found no more;
²² and ^(P)the sound of harpists and musicians, of flute players and trumpeters,
    will be heard in you no more,
and a craftsman of any craft
    will be found in you no more,
and ^(Q)the sound of the mill
    will be heard in you no more,
²³ and the light of a lamp
    will shine in you no more,
and ^(R)the voice of bridegroom and bride
    will be heard in you no more,
for ^(S)your merchants were the great ones of the earth,
    and all nations were deceived ^(T)by your sorcery.
²⁴ And ^(U)in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints,
    and of ^(V)all who have been slain on earth.”
