20 “Rejoice over her, O heaven, you saints, apostles, and prophets; for God has judged your judgment on her.” 21 A mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and cast it into the sea, saying, “Thus with violence will Babylon, the great city, be thrown down, and will be found no more at all. 22 The voice of harpists, minstrels, flute players, and trumpeters will be heard no more at all in you. No craftsman, of whatever craft, will be found any more at all in you. The sound of a mill will be heard no more at all in you. 23 The light of a lamp will shine no more at all in you. The voice of the bridegroom and of the bride will be heard no more at all in you; for your merchants were the princes of the earth; for with your sorcery all the nations were deceived. 24 In her was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of all who have been slain on the earth.”

20 “Rejoice over her, O heaven
    and saints and apostles and prophets,
for God has avenged you against her.”

21 Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying:

“With such violence
    shall that great city Babylon be thrown down,
    and shall be found no more.
22 The sound of harpists and musicians, flute players and trumpeters,
    shall not be heard in you any more.
No craftsman of any craft
    shall be found in you any more,
and the sound of a millstone
    shall not be heard in you any more.
23 The light of a lamp
    shall shine in you no more,
and the voice of bridegroom and of bride
    shall be heard in you no more.
For your merchants were the great men of the earth,
    and all nations were deceived by your sorcery.
24 In her was found the blood of prophets and of saints
    and of all who were slain on the earth.”
