66:017:017 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil
his will, and to
agree,
and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words
of
God shall be fulfilled.
66:017:018 And the woman which thou sawest is that
great city, which
reigneth
over the kings of the earth.
66:018:001 And after these things I saw another angel
come down from
heaven,
having great power; and the earth was lightened with
his
glory.
66:018:002 And he cried mightily with a strong voice,
saying, Babylon the
great
is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation
of
devils,
and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every
unclean
and hateful bird.
66:018:003 For all nations have drunk of the wine
of the wrath of her
fornication,
and the kings of the earth have committed
fornication
with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed
rich
through the abundance of her delicacies.
66:018:004 And I heard another voice from heaven,
saying, Come out of
her,
my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and
that
ye
receive not of her plagues.
66:018:005 For her sins have reached unto heaven,
and God hath remembered
her
iniquities.
66:018:006 Reward her even as she rewarded you, and
double unto her
double
according to her works: in the cup which she hath
filled
fill to her double.
66:018:007 How much she hath glorified herself, and
lived deliciously, so
much
torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in
her heart,
I
sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
66:018:008 Therefore shall her plagues come in one
day, death, and
mourning,
and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with
fire:
for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.
66:018:009 And the kings of the earth, who have committed
fornication and
lived
deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament
for
her,
when they shall see the smoke of her burning,
66:018:010 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment,
saying, Alas,
alas
that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one
hour
is thy judgment come.
66:018:011 And the merchants of the earth shall weep
and mourn over her;
for
no man buyeth their merchandise any more:
66:018:012 The merchandise of gold, and silver, and
precious stones, and
of
pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet,
and
all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and
all
manner
vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron,
and
marble,
66:018:013 And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments,
and frankincense, and
wine,
and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and
sheep,
and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of
men.
