18 After meta this houtos I saw another allos angel angelos coming down katabainō from ek · ho heaven ouranos, having echō great megas authority exousia, and kai the ho earth was made bright phōtizō with ek · ho his autos glory doxa. And kai he called out krazō with en a powerful ischuros voice phōnē, saying legō, “ Fallen piptō, fallen piptō is Babylon Babylōn the ho great megas! · kai She has become ginomai a dwelling place katoikētērion for demons daimonion and kai a haunt phylakē for every pas unclean akathartos spirit pneuma, · kai a haunt phylakē for every pas unclean akathartos bird orneon, · kai a haunt phylakē for every pas unclean akathartos and kai detestable miseō beast thērion. For hoti all pas the ho nations ethnos have drunk pinō the ho wine oinos of ho her autos passionate thumos · ho immorality porneia, and kai the ho kings basileus of the ho earth have committed acts of immorality porneuō with meta her autos, and kai the ho merchants emporos of the ho earth have grown rich plouteō from ek the ho power dynamis of ho her autos excessive luxury strēnos.” Then kai I heard akouō another allos voice phōnē from ek · ho heaven ouranos saying legō, “ Come exerchomai out of ek her autos, · ho my egō people laos, lest hina mē you share synkoinōneō in ho her autos sins hamartia, and kai lest hina you receive lambanō · ho her autos plagues plēgē; for hoti her autos sins hamartia are heaped up kollaō · ho as high as achri · ho heaven ouranos, and kai God theos has remembered mnēmoneuō · ho · ho her autos crimes adikēma. Pay apodidōmi her autos back as hōs · kai she herself autos has paid apodidōmi back others, and kai repay diploō her · ho double diplous according to kata · ho her autos works ergon; in en the ho cup potērion that hos she mixed kerannymi, mix kerannymi a double draught diplous for her autos. As hosos she exalted doxazō herself autos and kai lived in luxury strēniaō, give didōmi her autos an equal measure tosoutos of torment basanismos and kai mourning penthos; because hoti in en · ho her autos heart kardia she said legō, ‘ I sit kathēmai as a queen basilissa, · kai I am eimi no ou widow chēra, and kai mourning penthos I will never ou mē see.’ Therefore dia houtos her autos plagues plēgē will come hēkō in en a single heis day hēmera · ho death thanatos and kai mourning penthos and kai famine limos. And kai she will be consumed katakaiō with en fire pyr, for hoti mighty ischuros is the Lord kyrios · ho God theos who ho has judged krinō her autos.”

Then kai the ho kings basileus of the ho earth , those ho who committed acts of immorality porneuō with meta her autos and kai shared her luxury strēniaō, will weep klaiō and kai wail koptō over epi her autos when hotan they see blepō the ho smoke kapnos of ho her autos burning pyrōsis. 10 They will stand histēmi at apo a distance makrothen in dia · ho fear phobos of ho her autos torment basanismos, and say legō, “ Alas ouai! Alas ouai! O ho great megas city polis, · ho Babylon Babylōn the ho mighty ischuros city polis! · ho For hoti in a single heis hour hōra your sy judgment krisis has come erchomai.” · ho

11 And kai the ho merchants emporos of the ho earth will weep klaiō and kai mourn pentheō over epi her autos since hoti no one oudeis buys agorazō · ho their autos cargo gomos anymore ouketi, 12 cargo gomos such as gold chrysos, · kai silver argyros, · kai precious timios stones lithos, and kai pearls margaritēs; · kai fine linen byssinos, · kai purple porphyra, · kai silk sirikos, and kai scarlet cloth kokkinos; · kai all pas kinds of things made of citron thuinos wood xylon, · kai all kinds of pas articles skeuos made of ivory elephantinos, and kai all kinds of pas articles skeuos made of ek costly timios wood xylon, · kai bronze chalkos, · kai iron sidēros, and kai marble marmaros; 13 · kai cinnamon kinnamōmon, · kai spice amōmon, · kai incense thumiama, · kai myrrh myron, and kai frankincense libanos; · kai wine oinos, · kai olive oil elaion, · kai fine flour semidalis, and kai wheat sitos; · kai cattle ktēnos, · kai sheep probaton, · kai horses hippos, and kai chariots rhedē; and kai slaves sōma, that is kai, human anthrōpos livestock psychē. 14 · kai The ho fruit opōra that your sy soul psychē · ho longed for epithumia · ho has gone aperchomai from apo you sy, and kai all pas your ho delicacies liparos and kai · ho splendid things lampros are lost apollymi to apo you sy, · kai never ouketi ou to be found heuriskō again!” 15 The ho merchants emporos who ho became rich plouteō by apo selling her autos these things houtos will stand histēmi at apo a distance makrothen weeping klaiō and kai mourning pentheō because dia they · ho fear phobos · ho her autos torment basanismos. 16 They will lament legō, “ Alas ouai, alas ouai, O ho great megas city polis, · ho · ho clothed periballō in fine linen byssinos, · kai purple porphyrous, and kai scarlet kokkinos, · kai glittering chrysoō with en gold chrysion, · kai precious timios stones lithos, and kai pearls margaritēs! 17 For hoti in a single heis hour hōra such tosoutos great wealth ploutos has been brought to ruin erēmoō.” · ho And kai every pas sea captain kybernētēs and kai everyone pas who ho travels pleō by epi sea topos, · kai sailors nautēs and kai those who hosos make their living ergazomai from the ho sea thalassa, stood histēmi at apo a distance makrothen 18 and kai cried out krazō as they saw blepō the ho smoke kapnos of ho her autos burning pyrōsis, exclaiming legō, “ What tis city was ever like homoios the ho great megas city polis?” · ho 19 And kai they threw ballō dust chous on epi · ho their autos heads kephalē and kai cried out krazō as they wept klaiō and kai mourned pentheō, saying legō, “ Alas ouai, alas ouai, O ho great megas city polis · ho by en which hos all pas who ho had echō · ho ships ploion at en · ho sea thalassa grew rich plouteō from ek · ho her autos prosperity timiotēs! For hoti in a single heis hour hōra she has been brought to ruin erēmoō. 20 Rejoice euphrainō over epi her autos, O heaven ouranos, and kai you ho saints hagios and kai · ho apostles apostolos and kai · ho prophets prophētēs, for hoti God theos has pronounced krinō · ho · ho judgment krima for you hymeis against ek her autos!” 21 Then kai a heis mighty ischuros angel angelos picked up airō a stone lithos the size of hōs a huge megas millstone mylinos and kai hurled ballō it into eis the ho sea thalassa, saying legō, “ With this kind of houtōs violence hormēma Babylon Babylōn the ho great megas city polis will be thrown down ballō, and kai never ou mē again eti will it be found heuriskō! 22 And kai the sound phōnē of harpists kitharōidos and kai musicians mousikos, · kai flute players aulētēs and kai trumpeters salpistēs, will never ou mē again eti be heard akouō; · kai craftsman technitēs of any pas trade technē will never ou mē again eti be found heuriskō in en you sy, and kai the sound phōnē of the mill mylos will never ou mē again eti be heard akouō in en you sy; 23 · kai the light phōs of a lamp lychnos will never ou mē again eti shine phainō in en you sy, and kai the voice phōnē of bridegroom nymphios and kai bride nymphē will never ou mē again eti be heard akouō in en you sy; for hoti · ho your sy merchants emporos were eimi the ho great ones megistan of the ho earth , and hoti all pas nations ethnos were deceived planaō by en · ho your sy magic spells pharmakeia. · ho 24 And kai in en her autos was found heuriskō the blood haima of prophets prophētēs and kai of saints hagios, and kai of all pas who ho have been slain sphazō on epi the ho earth .”

18 After these things, I saw another angel coming down out of the sky, having great authority. The earth was illuminated with his glory. He cried with a mighty voice, saying, “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, and she has become a habitation of demons, a prison of every unclean spirit, and a prison of every unclean and hateful bird! For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her sexual immorality, the kings of the earth committed sexual immorality with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from the abundance of her luxury.”

I heard another voice from heaven, saying, “Come out of her, my people, that you have no participation in her sins, and that you don’t receive of her plagues, for her sins have reached to the sky, and God has remembered her iniquities. Return to her just as she returned, and repay her double as she did, and according to her works. In the cup which she mixed, mix to her double. However much she glorified herself, and grew wanton, so much give her of torment and mourning. For she says in her heart, ‘I sit a queen, and am no widow, and will in no way see mourning.’ Therefore in one day her plagues will come: death, mourning, and famine; and she will be utterly burned with fire; for the Lord God who has judged her is strong. The kings of the earth who committed sexual immorality and lived wantonly with her will weep and wail over her, when they look at the smoke of her burning, 10 standing far away for the fear of her torment, saying, ‘Woe, woe, the great city, Babylon, the strong city! For your judgment has come in one hour.’ 11 The merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her, for no one buys their merchandise any more: 12 merchandise of gold, silver, precious stones, pearls, fine linen, purple, silk, scarlet, all expensive wood, every vessel of ivory, every vessel made of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble; 13 and cinnamon, incense, perfume, frankincense, wine, olive oil, fine flour, wheat, sheep, horses, chariots, and people’s bodies and souls. 14 The fruits which your soul lusted after have been lost to you. All things that were dainty and sumptuous have perished from you, and you will find them no more at all. 15 The merchants of these things, who were made rich by her, will stand far away for the fear of her torment, weeping and mourning, 16 saying, ‘Woe, woe, the great city, she who was dressed in fine linen, purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls! 17 For in an hour such great riches are made desolate.’ Every ship master, and everyone who sails anywhere, and mariners, and as many as gain their living by sea, stood far away, 18 and cried out as they looked at the smoke of her burning, saying, ‘What is like the great city?’ 19 They cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and mourning, saying, ‘Woe, woe, the great city, in which all who had their ships in the sea were made rich by reason of her great wealth!’ For she is made desolate in one hour.

20 “Rejoice over her, O heaven, you saints, apostles, and prophets; for God has judged your judgment on her.” 21 A mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and cast it into the sea, saying, “Thus with violence will Babylon, the great city, be thrown down, and will be found no more at all. 22 The voice of harpists, minstrels, flute players, and trumpeters will be heard no more at all in you. No craftsman, of whatever craft, will be found any more at all in you. The sound of a mill will be heard no more at all in you. 23 The light of a lamp will shine no more at all in you. The voice of the bridegroom and of the bride will be heard no more at all in you; for your merchants were the princes of the earth; for with your sorcery all the nations were deceived. 24 In her was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of all who have been slain on the earth.”
