Revelation 18:20-24
Legacy Standard Bible
20 (A)Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you saints and (B)apostles and prophets, because (C)God has [a]pronounced judgment for you against her.”
21 Then [b]a (D)strong angel (E)picked up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, “So will Babylon, (F)the great city, be thrown down with violence, and (G)will not be found any longer. 22 And (H)the sound of harpists and musicians and flute-players and trumpeters will not be heard in you any longer; and no craftsman of any craft will be found in you any longer; and the (I)sound of a mill will not be heard in you any longer; 23 and the light of a lamp will not shine in you any longer; and the (J)voice of the bridegroom and bride will not be heard in you any longer; for your (K)merchants were the great men of the earth, because all the nations were deceived (L)by your sorcery. 24 And in her was found the (M)blood of prophets and of saints and of (N)all who have been slain on the earth.”

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!
The Finality of Babylon’s Fall
21 Then a mighty angel(C) picked up a stone like a large millstone and threw it into the sea, saying,
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)
