NASB
Reve 18:9
&
"And the kings of the earth, who committed {acts of} immorality and lived sensuously with her, will weep and lament over her when they see the smoke of her burning,
Reve 18:10
&
standing at a distance because of the fear of her torment, saying, `Woe, woe, the great city, Babylon, the strong city! For in one hour your judgment has come.'
Reve 18:11
&
"And the merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her, because no one buys their cargoes any more--
Reve 18:12
&
cargoes of gold and silver and precious stones and pearls and fine linen and purple and silk and scarlet, and every {kind of} citron wood and every article of ivory and every article {made} from very costly wood and bronze and iron and marble,
Reve 18:13
&
and cinnamon and spice and incense and perfume and frankincense and wine and olive oil and fine flour and wheat and cattle and sheep, and {cargoes} of horses and chariots and slaves and human lives.
Reve 18:14
&
~"The fruit you long for has gone from you, and all things that were luxurious and splendid have passed away from you and {men} will no longer find them.
Reve 18:15
&
~"The merchants of these things, who became rich from her, will stand at a distance because of the fear of her torment, weeping and mourning,
Reve 18:16
&
saying, `Woe, woe, the great city, she who was clothed in fine linen and purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls;
Reve 18:17
&
for in one hour such great wealth has been laid waste!' And every shipmaster and every passenger and sailor, and as many as make their living by the sea, stood at a distance,
Reve 18:18
&
and were crying out as they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, `What {city} is like the great city?'
Reve 18:19
&
~"And they threw dust on their heads and were crying out, weeping and mourning, saying, `Woe, woe, the great city, in which all who had ships at sea became rich by her wealth, for in one hour she has been laid waste!'
Reve 18:20
&
~"Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you saints and apostles and prophets, because God has pronounced judgment for you against her."
Reve 18:21
&
Then a strong angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, "So will Babylon, the great city, be thrown down with violence, and will not be found any longer.
Reve 18:22
&
~"And the sound of harpists and musicians and flute-players and trumpeters will not be heard in you any longer; and no craftsman of any craft will be found in you any longer; and the sound of a mill will not be heard in you any longer;
Reve 18:23
&
and the light of a lamp will not shine in you any longer; and the voice of the bridegroom and bride will not be heard in you any longer; for your merchants were the great men of the earth, because all the nations were deceived by your sorcery.
