Revelation of John 18:17-24

17 For ^ain a single hour all this wealth ^bhas been laid waste.”
And ^call shipmasters and seafaring men, sailors and all whose trade is on the sea, stood far off 18 and ^dcried out ^eas they saw the smoke of her burning,

^f“What city was like the great city?”
19 And they threw ^gdust on their heads as they wept and mourned, crying out,

“Alas, alas, for the great city
^hwhere all who had ships at sea
grew rich by her wealth!
For ⁱin a single hour she has been laid waste.
20 ^jRejoice over her, O heaven,
and you saints and ^kapostles and prophets,
for ^lGod has given judgment for you against her!”
21 Then ^ma mighty angel ⁿtook up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying,

“So will Babylon ^othe great city be thrown down with violence,
and will be found no more;
22 and ^pthe sound of harpists and musicians, of flute players and trumpeters,
will be heard in you no more,
and a craftsman of any craft
will be found in you no more,
and ^qthe sound of the mill
will be heard in you no more,
23 and the light of a lamp
will shine in you no more,
and ^rthe voice of bridegroom and bride
will be heard in you no more,
for ^syour merchants were the great ones of the earth,
and all nations were deceived ^tby your sorcery.
24 And ^uin her was found the blood of prophets and of saints,
and of ^vall who have been slain on earth.”
