1After these things I saw another angel descending from out of heaven having great authority; and the earth was illuminated from out of his glory. 2And he cried with a strong voice, saying, Fallen, Fallen is Babylon the great! And she has become a habitation of demons, and a hold (prison, guard, watch, latin-custodia-custody root is keep) of every unclean spirit, and a hold (prison, guard, watch, latin-custodia-custody root is keep) of every unclean bird, and a hold (prison, guard, watch) of every unclean wild animal (beast) having been hated (detested). 3Because all the ethnicities have drunk from out of the wine of the passion of her fornication (sexual immorality); and the kings of the earth have committed fornication (sexual immorality) with her; and the merchants (traders) of the earth have become rich from out of the power of her luxury (excessiveness, latin-deliciarum-delights roots are luxuriously and delicacy).

4And I heard another voice from out of heaven, saying, Come you my people from out of her, so that you might not share (fellowship, partake) together in her sins and so that you might not receive from out of her plagues; 5Because her sins have been heaped as far as heaven and God has remembered her unrighteousnesses (injustices, crimes, wrongs). 6Give back to her as she has also rendered; and render back double to her double according to her works. In the cup which she has mixed, mix double to her. 7So much as she has glorified herself and lived in luxury, give as much torment and mourning (sadness, grief) to her. Because she says in her heart, I sit as a queen and I am never a widow and I shall never see mourning. 8Because of this, in one day will come her plagues, death and mourning and famine, and with fire she will be burned up; because strong is the Lord God having judged her.

9And the kings of the earth having committed fornication and having lived luxuriously with her will weep and wail (be cut to the heart) upon her, when they see the smoke of her burning, 10Standing far away from because of the fear of her torment, saying, Woe, woe, the great city, Babylon, the strong city! Because in one hour your judgment has come.

11And the merchants of the earth weep and mourn over (upon) her, because no one any longer buys their cargo- 12Cargo of gold, and of silver, and of precious stone, and of pearl, and of fine linen, and of purple, and of silk, and of scarlet, and all thyine (citron tree of Northern Africa used as incense) wood, and every article of ivory, and every article of most precious wood, and of bronze, and of iron, and of marble, 13And cinnamon, and spice, and incense, and anointing-oil (myron), and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and finest wheat flour, and grain, and cattle, and sheep, and of horses, and of chariots, and of bodies, and souls of men. 14And the ripe fruits which are the passionate urge of your soul are departed away from you and all the sumptuous (fatty, oily, rich) things and the splendid (bright) things have departed away from you, and they will no longer find them. 15The merchants of these things having become rich from her will stand far away from, because of the fear of her torment, weeping and mourning, 16Saying, Woe, woe, the great city having been clothed with fine linen, and purple, and scarlet; and having been adorned with gold, and precious stone, and pearls! 17Because in one hour such great wealth has been made desolate. And every shipmaster (greek-kybernetes-steersman/pilot, latin-gubernator-pilot) and all those sailing upon a place, and sailors (seamen), and as many as trade by the sea stood a distance away from, 18And cried seeing the smoke of her burning, saying, What is similar to the great city? 19And they cast dust upon their heads, and cried, weeping and mourning, saying, Woe, woe, the great city in which were made rich all having boats in the sea from out of her wealth! Because in one hour she has been made desolate.

20Rejoice over (upon) her, O heaven, and you saints, and apostles, and prophets; because God did judge judgment for you against her.

21And one strong angel took up a stone like as a great millstone and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence Babylon the great city will be cast down and shall not be found any longer. 22And the sound (voice) of harpists, and musicians, and flute-players, and trumpeters, shall not be heard in you any longer; and any craftsman of any craft shall not be found in you any longer; and the sound of a millstone shall not be heard in you any longer; 23And the light of a lamp shall not shine in you any longer; and the voice of a bridegroom and a bride shall not be heard in you any longer; because your merchants were the great ones of the earth, because in your sorcery all the ethnicities were deceived. 24And in her was found, the blood of prophets and of saints and of all those having been slain upon the earth.
