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.
Rev.19
[1] And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and
glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God:
[2] For true and righteous are his judgments: for
he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the
blood of his servants at her hand.
[3] And again they said, Alleluia. And her smoke rose up for ever and
ever.
[4] And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on
the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia.
[5] And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye
his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great.
[6] And I heard as it were the voice of a great
multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for
the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.
[7] Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage
of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
[8] And to her was granted that she should
be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
[9] And he saith
unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith
unto me, These are the true sayings of God.
[10] And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto
me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship
God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
[11] And I saw heaven opened, and behold a
white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge
and make war.
[12] His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a
name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
[13] And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and
his name is called The Word of God.
[14] And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white
horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
[15] And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with
it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress
of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
[16] And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name
written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
[17] And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he
cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves
together unto the supper of the great God;
[18] That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains,
and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all
men, both free and bond, both small and great.
[19] And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and
their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.
[20]
And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which
he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These
both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
[21] And the remnant were slain with the
sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were
filled with their flesh.
