After these things I saw another messenger who came down from heaven, who has great authority, and the earth shone from his glory.

And he cried with a great voice, Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, and she has become a dwelling for demons and a prison for every unclean and hateful spirit.

Because from the wine of her fornication she mixed for all the peoples, and the kings of the earth committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from the power of her luxury.

And I heard another voice from heaven that said, Come out from within her, my people, so that you will not share in her sins, lest you receive from her plagues.

Because her sins have clung in her up to heaven, and Elohim has remembered her injustices.

Repay her as she also repaid, and double for her a double according to her works; in the cup that she mixed, mix for her a double.

As much as she glorified herself and lived in luxury, give her that much torment and mourning, because she says in her heart, I sit a queen, and I am not a widow, and I will not see mourning.

Because of this, in one day her plagues will come upon her: death and mourning and famine, and she will be burned with fire, for strong is Master YHWH who judges her.

And the kings of the earth who committed fornication with her and lived in luxury will weep and mourn over her when they see the smoke of her burning,

standing opposite from fear of her torment, and they will say, Woe, woe, woe, the great city Bavel, the mighty city, because in one hour your judgment has come!

And the merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her, because no one buys their cargo anymore,

cargo of gold and of silver and of precious stones and of pearls and of fine linen and of purple and of silk and of scarlet, and every fragrant wood, and every vessel of ivory, and every vessel of precious wood, and of bronze and of iron and of marble,

and cinnamon and balsam and myrrh and frankincense and wine and oil and fine flour and wheat and cattle and sheep and horses and chariots and bodies and souls of the sons of men.

And the fruit your soul desired has gone from you, and all that is rich and splendid has gone from you, and you will not see them again.

And the merchants of these who grew rich from her will not find them; they will stand opposite from the fear of her torment, weeping and mourning

and saying, Woe, woe, the great city that is clothed in fine linen and purple and scarlet, gilded with gold and precious stones and pearls,

because in one hour wealth like this is laid waste. And every shipmaster and everyone who goes by ship to a place, and sailors and all who work on the sea, stood from afar

and wept when they saw the smoke of her burning, and said, Who is like this great city?

And they threw dust on their heads and cried out while weeping and mourning and saying, Woe, woe, the great city in which those who have ships in the sea became rich from her preciousness, for in one hour she has been laid waste.

Rejoice over her, heaven and holy ones and apostles and prophets, because Elohim has judged your judgment from her.

And one of the mighty messengers took a great stone like a millstone and threw it into the sea and said, So with violence will Babylon the great city be thrown down, and she will not be found again.

And the sound of harp and of flute and of those who make music and of trumpet will not be heard in you again.

And the light of a lamp will not be seen by you again, and the voice of a bridegroom and the voice of a bride will not be heard in you again, because your merchants were the great ones of the earth, because by your sorceries you led all the peoples astray.

And in her was found the blood of prophets and holy ones who were killed on the earth.
