¹ And after these things I saw another angel coming down out of Heaven having great authority, and the earth was lighted up from his glory. ² And he cried in a strong, great voice, saying, Babylon the great has fallen! It has fallen, and it has become a dwelling-place of demons, and a prison of every unclean spirit, and a prison of every unclean bird, even having been hated, ³ because of the wine of the anger of her fornication which all the nations have drunk, even the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her; and the merchants of the earth became rich from the power of her luxury. ⁴ And I heard another voice out of Heaven saying, My people, come out of her, that you may not share in her sins, and that you may not receive of her plagues; ⁵ because her sins joined together, even up to Heaven, and God remembered her unjust deeds. ⁶ Give back to her as also she gave back to you, and double to her double, according to her works. In the cup which she mixed, mix to her double. ⁷ By what things she glorified herself, and luxuriated, by so much give back to her torment and mourning. Because she says in her heart, I sit as a queen, and I am not a widow; and I do not see mourning at all. ⁸ Because of this, in one day her plagues shall come: death, and mourning, and famine; and she will be consumed with fire, for the Lord God judging her is strong. ⁹ And the kings of the earth will weep for her, and will wail over her, those having fornicated and having luxuriated with her, when they see the smoke of her burning; ¹⁰ standing from afar because of the fear of her torment, saying, Woe! Woe to the great city, Babylon, the strong city! For in one hour your judgment came. ¹¹ And the merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her, because no one buys their cargo any more, ¹² cargo of gold, and silver, and of precious stone, and of pearls, and of fine linen, and of purple, and of silk, and of scarlet, and all thyine wood, and every ivory vessel, and every vessel of very precious wood, and of bronze, and of iron, and of marble, ¹³ and cinnamon, and incenses, and ointment, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine meal, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and of bodies and souls of men. ¹⁴ And the ripe fruits of the lust of your soul went away from you, and all the fat things, and the bright things went away from you, and you will find them no more, not at all. ¹⁵ The merchants of these things, the ones being enriched from her, will stand from afar because of the fear of her torment, weeping and mourning; ¹⁶ and saying, Woe! Woe to the great city having been clothed in linen and purple and scarlet, and having been gilded with gold and precious stone, and pearls! ¹⁷ For in one hour such great wealth was desolated. And every ship-pilot and all company on the ships, and sailors, and as many as work the sea, stood from afar, ¹⁸ and cried out, seeing the smoke of her burning, saying, What is like the great city? ¹⁹ And they threw dust on their heads, and cried out, weeping and mourning, saying, Woe! Woe to the great city, by which all those having ships in the sea were rich, from her costliness, because in one hour she was ruined. ²⁰ Rejoice over her, Heaven, and the holy apostles, and the prophets, because God judged your judgment on her. ²¹ And one strong angel lifted a stone like a great millstone, and threw it into the sea, saying, This way, on a violent impulse, Babylon the great city will be thrown down, and it will never more still be found. ²² And the sound of harpers, and of musicians, and flutists, and of trumpeters will never more be heard in you. And every craftsman of every craft will never more be found in you. And the sound of a mill will never more be heard in you. ²³ And the light of a lamp will never more shine in you. And the voice of the bridegroom and bride will never more be heard in you. For your merchants were the great ones of the earth, for by your sorcery all the nations were misled. ²⁴ And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all the ones having been slain on the earth.

¹ And one of the seven angels having the seven bowls came and spoke with me, saying to me, Come, I will show you the judgment of the great harlot sitting on the many waters, ² with whom the kings of the earth committed fornication, and the ones inhabiting the earth became drunk from the wine of her fornication. ³ And he carried me away into a desert, by the Spirit. And I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast, filled with names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. ⁴ And the woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, and being gilded with gold and precious stone and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand, filled with abominations and unclean things of her fornication. ⁵ And on her forehead was a name having been written: Mystery, Babylon the Great, the Mother of the Harlots and of the Abominations of the Earth. ⁶ And I saw the woman being drunk from the blood of the saints, and from the blood of the witnesses of Jesus. And I marveled, seeing her with a great marveling. ⁷ And the angel said to me, Why did you marvel? I will tell you the mystery of the woman, and of the beast supporting her, the one having the seven heads and the ten horns. ⁸ The beast which you saw was, and is not, and is about to come up out of the abyss, and goes to perdition. And those dwelling on the earth will marvel, the ones whose names have not been written on the Book of Life from the foundation of the world, seeing the beast, that it was a thing, and is not, yet now is. ⁹ Here is the mind having wisdom: the seven heads are seven mountains, where the woman sits on them. ¹⁰ And the kings are seven. The five fell, and the one is, and the other has not yet come. And when he does come, he must remain a little. ¹¹ And the beast which was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goes to perdition. ¹² And the ten horns you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but will receive authority as kings one hour with the beast. ¹³ These have one mind, and their power and authority they shall give up to the beast. ¹⁴ These will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, because He is Lord of lords and King of kings, and the ones with Him are the called and elect and faithful ones. ¹⁵ And he says to me, The waters which you saw, where the harlot sits, are peoples and crowds and nations and tongues. ¹⁶ And the ten horns which you saw on the beast, these will hate the harlot, and will make her desolated and naked. And they will eat her flesh, and will burn her down with fire. ¹⁷ For God gave into their hearts to do His mind, and to act in one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled. ¹⁸ And the woman whom you saw is the great city, having a kingdom over the kings of the earth.

⁸ But for the cowardly and unbelieving, and those having become foul, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all the lying ones, their part will be in the Lake burning with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.

And Raamah's sons were Sheba and Dedan. ⁸ And Cush fathered Nimrod; he began to be a mighty one in the land. ⁹ He was a mighty hunter before Jehovah; so it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before Jehovah. ¹⁰ And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. ¹¹ From that land he went forth to Assyria and built Nineveh, and Rehoboth the city, and Calah, ¹² and Resen between Nineveh and Calah, which is a great city. ¹³ And Mizraim fathered Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim, ¹⁴ and Pathrusim, and Casluhim, who from whom came the Philistines and Caphtorim. ¹⁵ And Canaan fathered his firstborn Sidon, and Heth, ¹⁶ and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgashite, ¹⁷ and the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite, ¹⁸ and the Arvadite and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite. And afterward the families of the Canaanites were dispersed. ¹⁹ And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as you come to Gerar, as far as Gaza, as you go in towards Sodom and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, even to Lasha. ²⁰ These were the sons of Ham, according to their families, according to their tongues, in their countries, in their nations. ²¹ And to Shem was born, even to him, the father of all the sons of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder. ²² The sons of Shem were Elam, and Asshur, and Arpachshad, and Lud, and Aram. ²³ And Aram's sons were Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash. ²⁴ And Arpachshad fathered Salah; and Salah fathered Eber. ²⁵ And two sons were born to Eber; the name of the one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided; and his brother's name was Joktan. ²⁶ And Joktan fathered Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah, ²⁷ and Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah, ²⁸ and Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba, ²⁹ and Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab. These all were the sons of Joktan. ³⁰ And their dwelling was from Mesha, as you go to Sephar, an eastern mountain. ³¹ These were the sons of Shem, according to their families, according to their tongues, in their lands, according to their nations. ³² These were the families of the sons of Noah, by their generations, in their nations. And from these the nations were divided in the earth after the flood.

¹ And the whole earth was of one lip and of one speech ² And it happened, as they pulled up stakes from the east, they found a level valley in the land of Shinar. And they lived there. ³ And each one said to his neighbor, Come, let us make brick, and burning burn them. And they had brick for stone, and they had asphalt for mortar. ⁴ And they said, Come, let us build a city and a tower with its head in the heavens, and make a name for ourselves, that we not be scattered on the face of all the earth. ⁵ And Jehovah came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of Adam had built. ⁶ And Jehovah said, Behold, the people is one, and the lip one to all of them, and this they are beginning to do, and now all which they have purposed to do will not be restrained from them. ⁷ Come, let Us go down and confuse their language so that they cannot understand one another's speech. ⁸ And Jehovah scattered them from there, over the face of all the earth. And they stopped building the city. ⁹ On account of this its name is called Babel, because Jehovah confused the language of all the earth there. And Jehovah scattered them abroad from there on the face of all the earth. ¹⁰ These are the generations of Shem: Shem was a son of a hundred years and fathered Arpachshad two years after the flood. ¹¹ And after he fathered Arpachshad, Shem lived five hundred years. And he fathered sons and daughters. ¹² And Arpachshad lived thirty five years and fathered Salah. ¹³ And after he fathered Salah, Arpachshad lived four hundred and three years And he fathered sons and daughters. ¹⁴ And Salah lived thirty years and fathered Eber. ¹⁵ And after he fathered Eber, Salah lived four hundred and three years.

The name of Abram's wife was Sarai. And the name of Nahor's wife was Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah. ³⁰ And Sarai was barren; there was no child to her. ³¹ And Terah took his son Abram, and Lot, Haran's son, his grandson and his daughter-in-law Sarai, his son Abram's wife. And he went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldeans to go into the land of Canaan. And they came to Haran and lived there. ³² And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years; and Terah died in Haran.
