of God shall be fulfilled.
[18] And the woman which thou sawest
is that great city, which reigneth
over the kings of the earth.
Rev.18
[1] And after these things I saw another
angel come down from heaven, having
great power; and the earth was lightened
with his glory.
[2] And he cried mightily with a strong
voice, saying, Babylon the great is
fallen, is fallen, and is become
the habitation of devils, and the
hold of every foul spirit, and a
cage of every unclean and
hateful bird.
[3] For all nations have drunk of
the wine of the wrath of her
fornication, and the kings of the
earth have committed
fornication with her, and the
merchants of the earth are waxed rich
through the abundance of her delicacies.
[4] And I heard another voice from
heaven, saying, COME OUT OF HER,
MY PEOPLE, THAT YE BE NOT
PARTAKERS OF HER SINS,
AND THAT YE RECEIVE NOT
OF HER PLAGUES.
[5] For her sins have reached
unto heaven, and God hath
remembered her 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, 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.
