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.”

Revised Standard Version
20 Rejoice over her, O heaven,
O saints and apostles and prophets,
for God has given judgment for you against her!”
21 Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying,
“So shall Babylon the great city be thrown down with violence,
and shall be found no more;
22 and the sound of harpers and minstrels, of flute players and trumpeters,
shall be heard in thee no more;
and a craftsman of any craft
shall be found in thee no more;
and the sound of the millstone
shall be heard in thee no more;
23 and the light of a lamp
shall shine in thee no more;
and the voice of bridegroom and bride
shall be heard in thee no more;
for thy merchants were the great men of the earth,
and all nations were deceived by thy sorcery.
24 And in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints,
and of all who have been slain on earth.”
