Revelation 18:20-24
New American Standard Bible
20 (A)Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you [a]saints and (B)apostles and prophets, because (C)God has [b]pronounced judgment for you against her.”
21 Then [c]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 never be found again. 22 And (H)the sound of harpists, musicians, flute players, and trumpeters will never be heard in you again; and no craftsman of any craft will ever be found in you again; and the (I)sound of a mill will never be heard in you again; 23 and the light of a lamp will never shine in you again; and the (J)voice of the groom and bride will never be heard in you again; for your (K)merchants were the powerful people of the earth, because all the nations were deceived (L)by your witchcraft. 24 And in her was found the (M)blood of prophets and of [d]saints, and of (N)all who have been slaughtered on the earth.”

Revelation 18:20-24
American Standard Version
20 Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye saints, and ye apostles, and ye prophets; for God hath judged your judgment on her.
21 And [a]a strong angel took up a stone as it were a great millstone and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with a mighty fall shall Babylon, the great city, be cast down, and shall be found no more at all. 22 And the voice of harpers and minstrels and flute-players and trumpeters shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, [b]of whatsoever craft, shall be found any more at all in thee; and the voice of a mill shall be heard no more at all in thee; 23 and the light of a lamp shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the princes of the earth; for with thy sorcery were all the nations deceived. 24 And in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of all that have been slain upon the earth.
