Revelation 18:20-24
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
20 Rejoice over her, O heaven, you saints and apostles and prophets! For God has condemned her condemnation of you.(A)
21 Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying,
“With such violence Babylon the great city
will be thrown down
and will be found no more;(B)
22 and the sound of harpists and entertainers and of flutists and trumpeters
will be heard in you no more,
and an artisan of any trade
will be found in you no more,
and the sound of the millstone
will be heard in you no more,(C)
23 and the light of a lamp
will shine in you no more,
and the voice of bridegroom and bride
will be heard in you no more,
for your merchants were the magnates of the earth,
and all nations were deceived by your sorcery.(D)
24 And in you[a] was found the blood of prophets and of saints
and of all who have been slaughtered on earth.”(E)

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,
