018:021 Then a single angel of great strength took a stone which
resembled a huge millstone, and hurled it into the sea,
saying, "So shall Babylon, that great city, be violently
hurled down and never again be found.
018:022 No harp or song, no flute or trumpet, shall ever again be heard
in thee; no craftsman of any kind shall ever again be found
in thee; nor shall the grinding of the mill ever again be
heard in thee.
018:023 Never again shall the light of a lamp shine in thee, and never again
shall the voice of a bridegroom or of a bride be heard in thee.
For thy merchants were the great men of the earth,
and with the magic which thou didst practise all nations
were led astray.
018:024 And in her was found the blood of Prophets and of God's people
and of all who had been put to death on the earth."
019:001 After this I seemed to hear the far-echoing voices of a great
multitude in Heaven, who said, "Hallelujah! The salvation
and the glory and the power belong to our God.
019:002 True and just are His judgments, because He has judged the great
Harlot who was corrupting the whole earth with her fornication,
and He has taken vengeance for the blood of His bondservants
which her hands have shed."
019:003 And a second time they said, "Hallelujah! For her smoke
ascends until the Ages of the Ages."
019:004 And the twenty-four Elders and the four living creatures
fell down and worshipped God who sits upon the throne.
"Even so," they said; "Hallelujah!"
019:005 And from the throne there came a voice which said, "Praise our God,
all you His bondservants--you who fear Him, both the small
and the great."
