21 Then a Mighty Angel
Picked up a Boulder
The Size of a Large Mill Stone
And Threw it into the Sea, and said:
“WITH SUCH VIOLENCE
THE GREAT CITY BABYLON
WILL BE THROWN DOWN,
NEVER TO BE FOUND AGAIN
22 THE MUSIC OF HARPISTS AND MUSICIANS,
PIPERS AND TRUMPETERS,
WILL NEVER BE HEARD IN YOU AGAIN.
NO WORKER OF ANY TRADE
WILL EVER BE FOUND IN YOU AGAIN.
THE SOUND OF A MILLSTONE
WILL NEVER BE HEARD IN YOU AGAIN.
23 THE LIGHT OF A LAMP
WILL NEVER SHINE IN YOU AGAIN
THE VOICE OF BRIDEGROOM AND BRIDE
WILL NEVER BE HEARD IN YOU AGAIN.
YOUR MERCHANTS WERE
THE WORLD’S IMPORTANT PEOPLE.
BY YOUR MAGIC SPELL
ALL THE NATIONS WERE LEAD ASTRAY.
24 IN HER WAS FOUND
THE BLOOD OF PROPHETS
AND OF GOD’S HOLY PEOPLE
OF ALL WHO HAVE BEEN SLAUGHTERED
ON THE EARTH.”
(Revelation 18:21-24, NIV)
