CHAPTER 18
:1 And after <G 3326> these <G 5023> things I saw <G 1492>
another <G 0243>
angel <G 0032> come <G 2597> down <G 2597> from heaven <G 3772>,
having <G 2192>
great <G 3173> power <G 1849>; and the earth <G 1093> was
lightened <G 5461>
with his glory <G 1391>.
:2 And he cried <G 2896> mightily <G 2479> with a strong <G
3173> voice <G
5456>, saying <G 3004>, Babylon <G 0897> the great <G 3173> is
fallen <G 4098>,
is fallen <G 4098>, and is become <G 1096> the habitation <G
2732> of devils <G
1142>, and the hold <G 5438> of every <G 3956> foul <G 0169>
spirit <G 4151>,
and a cage <G 5438> of every <G 3956> unclean <G 0169> and
hateful <G 3404> bird
<G 3732>.
:3 For all <G 3956> nations <G 1484> have drunk of the wine <G
3631> of the
wrath <G 2372> of her fornication <G 4202>, and the kings <G
0935> of the earth
<G 1093> have committed <G 4203> fornication <G 4203> with her,
and the
merchants <G 1713> of the earth <G 1093> are waxed <G 4147> rich
<G 4147>
through <G 1537> the abundance <G 1411> of her delicacies <G
4764>.
:4 And I heard <G 0191> another <G 0243> voice <G 5456> from
heaven <G 3772>,
saying <G 3004>, Come <G 1831> out of her, my people <G 2992>,
that ye be not
partakers <G 4790> of her sins <G 0266>, and that ye receive <G
2983> not of her
plagues <G 4127>.
:5 For her sins <G 0266> have reached <G 0190> unto heaven <G
3772>, and God <G
2316> hath remembered <G 3421> her iniquities <G 0092>.
:6 Reward <G 0591> her even <G 2532> as she rewarded <G 0591>
you, and double
<G 1363> unto her double <G 1362> according <G 2596> to her
works <G 2041>: in
the cup <G 4221> which <G 3739> she hath filled <G 2767> fill <G
2767> to her
double <G 1362>.
:7 How <G 3745> much <G 3745> she hath glorified <G 1392>
herself <G 1438>, and
lived deliciously <G 4763>, so <G 5118> much <G 5118> torment <G
0929> and
sorrow <G 3997> give <G 1325> her: for she saith <G 3004> in her
heart <G 2588>,
I sit <G 2521> a queen <G 0938>, and am <G 1510> no <G 3756>
widow <G 5503>, and
shall see <G 1492> no <G 3364> sorrow <G 3997>.
:8 Therefore <G 5124> shall her plagues <G 4127> come <G 2240>
in one <G 3391>
day <G 2250>, death <G 2288>, and mourning <G 3997>, and famine
<G 3042>; and
she shall be utterly <G 2618> burned <G 2618> with fire <G 4442>:
for strong <G
2478> [is] the Lord <G 2962> God <G 2316> who <G 3588> judgeth
<G 2919> her.
:9 And the kings <G 0935> of the earth <G 1093>, who <G 3588>
have committed <G
4203> fornication <G 4203> and lived deliciously <G 4763> with
her, shall bewail
<G 2799> her, and lament <G 2875> for her, when <G 3752> they
shall see <G 0991>
the smoke <G 2586> of her burning <G 4451>,
:10 Standing <G 2476> afar <G 3113> off <G 0575> for the fear
<G 5401> of her
torment <G 0929>, saying <G 3004>, Alas <G 3758>, alas <G 3758>,
that great <G
3173> city <G 4172> Babylon <G 0897>, that mighty <G 2478> city
<G 4172>! for in
one <G 3391> hour <G 5610> is thy judgment <G 2920> come <G
2064>.
:11 And the merchants <G 1713> of the earth <G 1093> shall weep
<G 2799> and
mourn <G 3996> over <G 1909> her; for no <G 3762> man <G 3762>
buyeth <G 0059>
their merchandise <G 1117> any <G 3765> more <G 3765>:
:12 The merchandise <G 1117> of gold <G 5557>, and silver <G
0696>, and
precious <G 5093> stones <G 3037>, and of pearls <G 3135>, and
fine linen <G
1040>, and purple <G 4209>, and silk <G 4596>, and scarlet <G
2847>, and all <G
3956> thyine <G 2367> wood <G 3586>, and all <G 3956> manner
vessels <G 4632> of
ivory <G 1661>, and all <G 3956> manner vessels <G 4632> of most
precious <G
5093> wood <G 3586>, and of brass <G 5475>, and iron <G 4604>,
and marble <G
3139>,
:13 And cinnamon <G 2792>, and odours <G 2368>, and ointments
<G 3464>, and
frankincense <G 3030>, and wine <G 3631>, and oil <G 1637>, and
fine <G 4585>
flour <G 4585>, and wheat <G 4621>, and beasts <G 2934>, and
sheep <G 4263>, and
horses <G 2462>, and chariots <G 4480>, and slaves <G 4983>, and
souls <G 5590>
of men <G 0444>.
:14 And the fruits <G 3703> that thy soul <G 5590> lusted <G
1937> after are
departed <G 0565> from thee, and all <G 3956> things which <G
3588> were dainty
<G 3045> and goodly <G 2986> are departed <G 0565> from thee,
and thou shalt
find <G 2147> them no <G 3764> more <G 3765> at all <G 3364>.
:15 The merchants <G 1713> of these <G 5130> things, which <G
3588> were made
<G 4147> rich <G 4147> by her, shall stand <G 2476> afar <G
3113> off <G 0575>
for the fear <G 5401> of her torment <G 0929>, weeping <G 2799>
and wailing <G
3996>,
:16 And saying <G 3004>, Alas <G 3758>, alas <G 3758>, that
great <G 3173> city
<G 4172>, that was clothed <G 4016> in fine linen <G 1039>, and
purple <G 4210>,
and scarlet <G 2847>, and decked <G 5558> with gold <G 5557>,
and precious <G
5093> stones <G 3037>, and pearls <G 3135>!
