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>!
:17 For in one <G 3391> hour <G 5610> so <G 5118> great <G 5118>
riches <G 4149> is come <G 2049> to nought <G 2049>. And every
<G 3956> shipmaster <G 2942>, and all <G 3956> the company <G
3658> in ships <G 4143>, and sailors <G 3492>, and as many <G
3745> as trade <G 2038> by sea <G 2281>, stood <G 2476> afar <G
3113> off <G 0575>,
:18 And cried <G 2896> when they saw <G 3708> the smoke <G 2586>
of her burning <G 4451>, saying <G 3004>, What <G 5101> [city <G
4172> is] like <G 3664> unto this great <G 3173> city <G 4172>!
:19 And they cast <G 0906> dust <G 5522> on <G 1909> their heads
<G 2776>, and cried <G 2896>, weeping <G 2799> and wailing <G
3996>, saying <G 3004>, Alas <G 3758>, alas <G 3758>, that great
<G 3173> city <G 4172>, wherein <G 3757> were made <G 4147> rich
<G 4147> all <G 3956> that had <G 2192> ships <G 4143> in the
sea <G 2281> by reason <G 1537> of her costliness <G 5094>! for
in one hour <G 5610> is she made <G 2049> desolate <G 2049>.
:20 Rejoice <G 2165> over <G 1909> her, [thou] heaven <G 3772>,
and [ye] holy <G 0040> apostles and prophets <G 4396>; for God
<G 2316> hath avenged <G 2917> you on <G 1537> her.
:21 And a mighty <G 2478> angel <G 0032> took <G 0142> up a
stone <G 3037> like <G 5613> a great <G 3173> millstone <G 3458>,
and cast <G 0906> [it] into <G 1519> the sea <G 2281>, saying
<G 3004>, Thus <G 3779> with violence <G 3731> shall that great
<G 3173> city <G 4172> Babylon <G 0897> be thrown <G 0906> down,
and shall be found <G 2147> no <G 3364> more <G 2089> at all <G
3364>.
:22 And the voice <G 5456> of harpers <G 2790>, and musicians <G
3451>, and of pipers <G 0834>, and trumpeters <G 4538>, shall be
heard <G 0191> no <G 3364> more <G 2089> at all <G 3364> in thee;
and no <G 3364> craftsman <G 5079>, of whatsoever <G 3956>
craft <G 5078> [he be], shall be found <G 2147> any <G 2089>
more <G 2089> in thee; and the sound <G 5456> of a millstone <G
3458> shall be heard <G 0191> no <G 3364> more <G 2089> at all
<G 3364> in thee;
:23 And the light <G 5457> of a candle <G 3088> shall shine <G
5316> no <G 3364> more <G 2089> at all <G 3364> in thee; and the
voice <G 5456> of the bridegroom <G 3566> and of the bride <G
3565> shall be heard <G 0191> no <G 3364> more <G 2089> at all
<G 3364> in thee: for thy merchants <G 1713> were the great <G
3175> men of the earth <G 1093>; for by thy sorceries <G 5331>
were all <G 3956> nations <G 1484> deceived <G 4105>.
:24 And in her was found <G 2147> the blood <G 0129> of prophets
