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.”

20 (A)Rejoice over her, O heaven,
    and you saints and (B)apostles and prophets,
for (C)God has given judgment for you against her!”

21 Then (D)a mighty angel (E)took 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 will be found no more;
22 and (G)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 (H)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 (I)the voice of bridegroom and bride
    will be heard in you no more,
for (J)your merchants were the great ones of the earth,
    and all nations were deceived (K)by your sorcery.
24 And (L)in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints,
    and of (M)all who have been slain on earth.”
