Revelation 18:18-24

Goodspeed(i) 18 and cried out when they saw the smoke from her burning, 'What city was like the great city?' 19 They threw dust on their heads and wept and mourned, crying out, 'Alas! Alas for the great city, where all who had ships on the sea grew rich through her extravagance! For in a single hour she has been destroyed!' 20 Gloat over her, heaven! and all you people of God, apostles, and prophets, for God has avenged you upon her!" 21 Then a mighty angel caught up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, "With such violence will Babylon the great city be hurled to destruction and never be seen again! 22 The sound of harpists and musicians, flute-players, and trumpets will never be heard in you again. No craftsman of any kind will ever be found in you again, no sound of the millstone will ever be heard in you again; 23 no light of any lamp will ever shine in you again; no voice of bride or bridegroom will ever be heard in you again. For your merchants were the great men of the earth; by your magic all the heathen have been led astray, 24 and in you was found the blood of prophets, God's people, and all who have been slaughtered on the earth."
