Revelation 18:20-24

Christian Standard Bible

²⁰ Rejoice over her, heaven,
and you saints, apostles, and prophets,^(A)
because God has pronounced on her the judgment^(B) she passed on you!

In this way, Babylon the great city
will be thrown down violently^(D)
and never be found again.^(E)
22 The sound of harpists, musicians,
flutists, and trumpeters
will never be heard in you again;^(F)
no craftsman of any trade
will ever be found in you again;
the sound of a mill
will never be heard in you again;
²³ the light of a lamp
will never shine in you again;
and the voice of a groom and bride
will never be heard in you again.^(G)
All this will happen
because your merchants
were the nobility of the earth,
because all the nations were deceived
by your sorcery.
²⁴ In her was found the blood of prophets and saints,^(H)
and of all those slaughtered on the earth.^(I)
