iniquities.
6
Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her
works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.
7
How much she hath glorified herself,
and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen,
and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
8
Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death,
and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong
is
the Lord God
who judgeth her.
9
And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously
with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,
10
Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty
city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.
11
And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn
over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:
12
The merchandise of gold, and silver,
and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine
wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass,
and iron, and marble,
13
And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine,
and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and
souls of men.
14
And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which
were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all.
15
The
merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her
torment, weeping and wailing,
16
And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine
linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls!
17
For in one
hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and
sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
18
And cried when they saw the smoke of her
burning, saying, What
city is
like unto this great city!
19
And they cast dust on their heads, and
cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had
ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.
20
Rejoice over
her,
thou
heaven, and
ye
holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.
21
And a
mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast
it
into the sea, saying, Thus with
violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.
22
And
the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in
thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft
he be,
shall be found any more in thee; and the sound
of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee;
23
And the light of a candle shall shine no more
at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee:
for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.
24
And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the
earth.
