CHAP. XVIII.
2 The horrible destruction of Babylon is set out. 11. 16. 18 The
marchants of the earth, who were enriched with the pompe and
luxuriousnesse of it, weepe, and waile: 20 But all the elect reioyce
for that iust vengeance of God.
1 And after these thinges, I sawe another Angel
come downe from heauen, hauing great power,
so that the earth was lightened with his glorie,
2 And he cryed out mightily with a loud voyce,
saying, note It is fallen, it is fallen, Babylon that great
citie, and is become the habitation of deuils, and the
holde of all foule spirits, and a cage of euery vncleane
and hatefull birde.
3 For all nations haue drunken of the wine of
the wrath of her fornication, and the Kings of the
earth haue committed fornication with her, and the
marchants of the earth are waxed rich of the abundance
of her pleasures.
4 And I heard another voyce from heauen say,
Goe out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers
of her sinnes, and that ye receiue not of her plagues.
5 For her sinnes are note come vp into heauen, and
God hath remembred her iniquities.
6 Rewarde her, euen as she hath rewarded you,
and giue her double according to her workes: and in
the cup that she hath filled to you, fill her þe; double.
7 In as much as she glorified her selfe, and liued
in pleasure, so much giue ye to her torment & sorow:
for she saith note in her heart, I sit being a queene, and
am note no widowe, and shall note see no mourning.
8 Therefore shall her plagues come at note one day,
death, and sorowe, and famine, and she shalbe burnt
with fire: for that God which condemneth her, is a
strong Lord.
9 And the kings of the earth shall bewayle her,
and lament for her, which haue committed fornication,
and liued in pleasure with her, when they shall
see that smoke of that her burning,
10 And shall stand a farre off for feare of her torment,
saying, Alas, alas, that great citie Babylon, that
mightie citie: for in one houre is thy iudgem&ebar;t come.
11 And the marchants of the earth shall weepe
and wayle ouer her: for no man byeth their ware any
more.
12 The ware of golde, and siluer, and of precious
stone, and of pearles, and of fine linnen, and of
purple, and of silke, and of skarlet, and of all maner
of Thyne wood, and of all vessels of yuorie, and of
all vessels of most precious wood, and of brasse, and
of yron, and of marble,
13 And of cinamon, and odours, and ointments,
and frankincense, and wine, and oyle, and fine floure,
and wheate, and beastes, and sheepe, and horses, and
charets, and seruants, and soules of men.
14 (And the note apples that thy soule lusted after,
-- --
The Lambes mariage, and supper.
are departed from thee, and all things which were
fatte and excellent, are departed from thee, and thou
shalt finde them no more)
15 The marchants of these thinges which were
waxed riche, shall stand a farre off from her, for feare
of her torment, weeping and wayling,
16 And saying, Alas, alas, that great citie, that was
clothed in fine linnen and purple, and skarlet, and
gilded with gold, and precious stones, and pearles.
17 For in one houre so great riches are come to
desolation. And euery shipmaster, and all the people
that occupie shippes, and shipmen, and whosoeuer
traffike on the sea, shall stand a farre off,
18 And crie, when they see that smoke of that
her burning, saying, What citie was like vnto this
great citie?
19 And they shall cast dust on their heads, and
crie, weeping, and wayling, and say, Alas, alas, that
great citie, wherein were made rich all that had ships
on the sea by her costlinesse: for in one houre she is
made desolate.
20 O heauen, reioyce of her, and ye holy Apostles
and Prophets: for God hath punished her to be reuenged
on her for your sakes.
21 Then a mightie Angell tooke vp a stone like
a great milstone, note and cast it into the sea, saying,
With such violence shall that great citie Babylon be
cast, and shalbe found no more.
22 And the voyce of harpers, and musicians, and
of pipers, and trumpetters shalbe heard no more in
thee, and no craftesman, of whatsoeuer craft he be,
shall be found any more in thee: and the sound of a
milstone shalbe heard no more in thee.
23 And the light of a candle shall shine no more
in thee: and the voyce of the bridegrome and of the
bride shalbe heard no more in thee: for thy marchants
were the great men of the earth: and with thine inchantments
were deceiued all nations.
24 And in her was founde the blood of the Prophets,
and of the Saints, and of all that were slaine
vpon the earth.
