20 (A)“Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you [a]holy apostles and prophets, for (B)God has avenged you on her!”

Finality of Babylon’s Fall

21 Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, (C)“Thus with violence the great city Babylon shall be thrown down, and (D)shall not be found anymore. 22 (E)The sound of harpists, musicians, flutists, and trumpeters shall not be heard in you anymore. No craftsman of any craft shall be found in you anymore, and the sound of a millstone shall not be heard in you anymore. 23 (F)The light of a lamp shall not shine in you anymore, (G)and the voice of bridegroom and bride shall not be heard in you anymore. For (H)your merchants were the great men of the earth, (I)for by your sorcery all the nations were deceived. 24 And (J)in her was found the blood of prophets and saints, and of all who (K)were slain on the earth.”
