¹⁴ He cried with might and said this: Cut down the tree and cut off its branches. Shake off its leaves and scatter its fruit. Let the animals flee from under it, and the birds leave its branches.

² Howl, fir tree, for the cedar has fallen, because the majestic trees have been destroyed. Howl, O oaks of Bashan, for the inaccessible forest has come down. ³ A voice of the wailing of the shepherds is heard, for their splendor is destroyed. A voice of the roaring of young lions is heard, for the pride of Jordan is destroyed.

¹¹ And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever. And those worshiping the beast and its image have no rest night and day, even if anyone receives the mark of its name.

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.

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.

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.

¹⁸ and cried out, seeing the smoke of her burning, saying, What is like the great city?

²⁰ Rejoice over her, Heaven, and the holy apostles, and the prophets, because God judged your judgment on her.

³⁴ And all Israel who were around them fled at their cry; for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up.

⁹ And, behold, here comes a chariot of a man, a pair of horses. And he answered and said, Babylon has fallen, has fallen! And He has smashed the cut images of her gods to the earth.

⁷ Alas! For that day is great, for none is like it. And it is a time of Jacob's trouble, but he will be saved out of it.

⁸ Suddenly Babylon has fallen, and it is broken. Wail for her, take balm for her pain, if perhaps she may be healed. ⁹ We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed. Forsake her, and let us go, each one into his own country. For her judgment reaches to the heavens, and is lifted up to the skies.

¹⁵ Alas for the day! For the day of Jehovah is at hand. And it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.

¹⁶ So Jehovah, the God of Hosts, the Lord, says this: Wailing shall be in all streets, and they shall say in all the highways, Alas! Alas! And they shall call the farmer to the mourning, and those knowing wailing to lamentation.

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.

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.

¹⁴ For its profit is better than the gain from silver, and its increase more than fine gold;

¹ The burden of Tyre: Howl, ships of Tarshish! For it is ruined, without house, without entrance. It is revealed to them from the land of Kittim. ² Be still, inhabitants of the coast, trader of Sidon crossing the sea; they have filled you. ³ And by great waters, the seed of Sihor and the harvest of the river Nile was her revenue; and she a mart of nations. ⁴ Be ashamed, Sidon, for the sea has spoken, the strength of the sea, saying, I have not travailed, nor brought forth, I have not nourished young men nor raised up virgins. ⁵ As the report comes to Egypt, so they shall be grieved at the report of Tyre. ⁶ Pass over Tarshish; howl, people of the coast! ⁷ Is this your exulting city from days of her old age? Her own feet carry it far away to stay. ⁸ Who has purposed this against Tyre, the crowning city, whose merchants are rulers, whose traders are the weighty of the earth? ⁹ Jehovah of Hosts has purposed it, to stain the pride of all glory, to bring all the honored of the earth into contempt. ¹⁰ Pass through your land as the Nile, O daughter of Tarshish; there is no more strength. ¹¹ He stretched His hand over the sea; He shook kingdoms. Jehovah has made a decree against the merchant city, to destroy its forts. ¹² And He said, You shall rejoice no more, oppressed one, virgin daughter of Sidon. Arise, cross over to Cyprus, even there is no rest to you. ¹³ Behold, the land of the Chaldeans! This people did not exist! Assyria founded it for those who live in the desert. They set up their siege towers; they stripped its palaces. They made it a ruin. ¹⁴ Howl, ships of Tarshish! For your fortress is ruined. ¹⁵ And it shall be in that day that Tyre shall be forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king. At the end of seventy years, it will be as the song of a harlot to Tyre.

¹⁷ And they shall take up a lament for you and say to you, How you are perished, who lived by the seas, the city well praised, which was strong in the sea, she and her dwellers, who put their terror on all her dwellers! ¹⁸ Now the coastlands shall tremble in the day of your fall. Yea, the coastlands by the sea shall be troubled at your going down. ¹⁹ For so says the Lord Jehovah: When I shall make you a ruined city, like the cities that do not have dwellers, when I shall bring up on you the deep and great waters shall cover you. ²⁰ And I shall bring you down with those who go into the Pit, with the people of old time, and I shall set you in the earth's lowest parts, in places ruined from days of old, with ones who go to the Pit, so that you have no dwellers. But I gave glory in the land of the living. ²¹ I will give you terrors, and you will not be. Though you are sought, yet you shall not be found any more forever, declares the Lord Jehovah.

²⁷ Your wealth and your wares and your goods, your seamen and your sailors reinforcing your seams, and the traders of your goods, and all your men of war who are in you, and all your assembly in your midst, shall fall into the heart of the seas in the day of your ruin. ²⁸ At the sound of the cry of your sailors the pasture lands will shake. ²⁹ And all who handle the oar shall come down from their ships, the seamen, all the sailors of the sea. They shall stand on the land, ³⁰ and will make heard their voice against you, and will cry bitterly, and will cause to go up dust on their heads; they will wallow in the ashes. ³¹ And they shall be bald for you and gird with sackcloth; and they shall weep for you with bitterness of soul, a bitter wailing. ³² And in their wailing they shall lift up a lamentation and lament over you, saying, Who is like Tyre, as she who is quiet in the midst of the sea? ³³ When your wares went out from the seas, you satisfied many peoples. With the plenty of your riches and your goods, you enriched the kings of the earth. ³⁴ At this time you are broken from the seas. By the depths of the waters your goods and all your assembly have fallen in your midst. ³⁵ All the dwellers of the coastlands are appalled at you, and their kings are horribly terrified; their faces tremble. ³⁶ The traders among the peoples hiss over you; you have become terrors. And until forever you shall not be .

¹¹ Howl, dwellers of Maktesh, for all the people of Canaan have perished; all those carrying silver are cut off.

¹⁸ Their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of Jehovah. But all the earth shall be consumed by the fire of His jealousy. For He shall make a full, yea, a speedy end of all the dwellers in the land.

⁵ But not caring they went away, one to his own field, and one to his trading.

¹⁶ And to the ones selling the doves, He said, Take these things from here! Do not make My Father's house a house of merchandise.

³ And by covetousness, with well-turned words, they will use you for gain, for whom judgment of old does not linger, and their destruction does not slumber.

¹⁶ And the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the freemen and the slaves, it causes that they give to them all a mark on their right hand, or on their foreheads, ¹⁷ even that not any could buy or sell, except the one having the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of its name.

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;

¹¹ And also, the navy of Hiram that bore gold from Ophir brought in from Ophir almug trees, a great many, and precious stones; ¹² and the king made the almug trees a support for the house of Jehovah, and for the king's house, and harps and lyres for singers; no such almug trees have come, nor have there been seen such to this day.

⁸ And send to me cedar trees, firs, and algums from Lebanon, for I know that your servants know how to cut down the trees of Lebanon; and behold, my servants shall be with your servants,

¹⁰ Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge, rather than choice gold. ¹¹ For wisdom is better than jewels, and all delights cannot be compared to it.

⁵ They have made for you all your planks of fir trees of Senir. they have taken a cedar from Lebanon to make a mast for you. ⁶ They have made your oars of the oaks of Bashan. They made your deck with ivory from the coasts of Kittim, daughter of Assyria. ⁷ Your sail was of fine linen with embroidered work from Egypt, an ensign for you, violet and purple from the coasts, of Elishah was your covering. ⁸ The residents of Sidon and Arvad were rowers to you. Your wise men ones, O Tyre, they were your sailors.

¹⁶ And he that steals a man and sells him, or if he is found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death.

⁷ If a man is found stealing a person of his brothers of the sons of Israel, and has dealt with him as a slave, and sold him, then that thief shall die. And you shall put away the evil from among you.

⁶⁸ And Jehovah shall bring you into Egypt again with ships, by the way of which I said to you, You shall never see it again. And you shall be sold to your enemies there, for male slaves and slave-girls; and there shall be no buyer.

¹⁰ And she gave to the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and very many spices, and precious stones; no spice like that came any more for abundance, that the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.

¹⁵ apart from the merchant men, and from the traffic of the traders, and from all the Arabian kings, and from the governors of the lands.

²⁵ and they were each one bringing his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, and armor, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year.

⁹ And she gave to the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and spices in great plenty, and precious stones. And there has not been any spice as that the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.

⁴ And some were saying, We have borrowed silver for the king's tax, on our fields, and our vineyards, ⁵ yet now our flesh is like the flesh of our brothers; as their sons, so are our sons; and, behold, we are bringing our sons and our daughters into bondage, to be slaves; yea, there are some of our daughters brought into bondage. And there is no power for our hand, and our fields and our vineyards are to other men.

⁸ And I said to them, According to our ability we have redeemed our brothers, the Jews who were sold to the nations. And will you yet sell your brothers? Or shall they be sold to us? Then they were silent, and did not find a word.

¹⁷ I have sprinkled my bed with myrrh, aloes and cinnamon.

³ For Your ointments have a lovely fragrance; Your name is as ointment poured out; on account of this the virgins love You.

¹³ Your plants are an orchard of pomegranates with excellent fruits, with henna and spikenard; ¹⁴ spikenard and saffron, calamus and cinnamon; with all trees of frankincense, myrrh and aloes; with all the chief balsam spices;

⁵ I rose up to open to my Beloved, and my hands dripped with myrrh; yea, my fingers flowing with myrrh on the handles of the bolt.

¹ So says Jehovah, Where is the scroll of your mother's divorce whom I have put away? Or who of My creditors that I have sold you to him? Behold, you were sold for your iniquities, and your mother was put away for your trespasses.

¹³ Javan, Tubal and Meshech, they were your merchants, they gave the souls of men and vessels of bronze for your goods.

⁶ So says Jehovah: For three transgressions of Israel, and for four, I will not turn back from it, for they sold the righteous for silver, and the poor for a pair of sandals,

⁶ who drink bowls of wine, and they anoint with the best of oils; but they are not grieved for the breaking of Joseph!

⁶ in order to buy the helpless with silver, and the poor for a pair of sandals, and sell the chaff of the wheat?

³ Then taking a pound of ointment of pure, costly spikenard, Mary anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped off His feet with her hairs. And the house was filled with the odor of the ointment. ⁴ Then Simon's son, one of His disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was about to betray Him, said, ⁵ Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor? ⁶ But he said this, not that he was caring for the poor, but that he was a thief and held the moneybag and carried away the things being put in . ⁷ Then Jesus said, Allow her, for she has kept it for the day of My burial. ⁸ For you always have the poor with you, but you do not always have Me.

¹⁰ for fornicators, for homosexuals, for slave-traders, for liars, for perjurers, and if any other thing opposes sound doctrine,

⁴ And the mixed multitude among them lusted with a great lust; and the sons of Israel also turned back and wept, and said, Who shall cause us to eat flesh?

³⁴ And one called the name of that place, The Graves of Lust; for there they buried the people who lusted.

¹⁸ And they tested God in their heart, by asking food for their souls.

¹⁴ and they greedily lusted in the wilderness, and tested God in the desert.

²⁰ But God said to him, Fool! This night they demand your soul from you; and that which you prepared, to whom will it be?

²⁵ But Abraham said, Child, remember that you fully received your good things in your lifetime, and Lazarus likewise the bad things. But now he is comforted, and you are suffering.

⁶ But these things became examples for us, so that we may not be lusters after evil, even as those indeed lusted.

² You desire greatly and do not have. You murder, and are jealous, and are not able to obtain. You fight and you war, and you do not have, because you do not ask God .

¹⁶ because all that which is in the world: the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. ¹⁷ And the world is passing away, and its lust. But the one doing the will of God abides forever.

²³ And they called to the sons of Dan, and they turned their faces and said to Micah, What ails you, that you have been called together? ²⁴ And he said, You have taken my gods which I made, and the priest, and you are leaving, and what more do I have? What is this you say to me, What ails you?

³¹ And they shall be bald for you and gird with sackcloth; and they shall weep for you with bitterness of soul, a bitter wailing.

⁷ He is a merchant; the scales of deceit are in his hand; he loves to oppress. ⁸ And Ephraim said, I am rich; I have found much wealth for myself. In all my labors they shall find in me no iniquity that is sin.

¹⁶ So Jehovah, the God of Hosts, the Lord, says this: Wailing shall be in all streets, and they shall say in all the highways, Alas! Alas! And they shall call the farmer to the mourning, and those knowing wailing to lamentation. ¹⁷ And wailing shall be in all vineyards, for I will pass among you, says Jehovah.

⁵ Those who buy them kill them and are not held guilty. And those who sell them say, Blessed be Jehovah, for I am rich. And their shepherds do not pity them.

¹⁷ And He taught, saying to them, Has it not been written, "My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations." "But you have made it a den of robbers."? Isa. 56:7; Jer. 7:11

¹⁹ And seeing that the hope of their gain went out, having seized Paul and Silas, her lords dragged them to the market before the rulers.

²⁴ For a certain silversmith named Demetrius was making silver shrines of Artemis, providing no little trade for the craftsmen. ²⁵ And assembling the workmen about such things, he said, Men, you understand that from this trade is our wealth. ²⁶ And you see and hear that not only Ephesus, but almost all of Asia, persuading, this Paul perverted a huge crowd, saying that those being made by hands are not gods. ²⁷ And not only is this dangerous to us, lest our part come to be in contempt, but also the temple of the great goddess Artemis will be counted nothing, and her majesty is also about to be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worships.

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,

¹⁹ And there was a certain rich man; and he was accustomed to don a purple robe and fine linen, making merry in luxury day by day. ²⁰ And there was a certain poor one named Lazarus who had been laid at his porch, being plagued by sores, ²¹ and longing to be filled from the crumbs that were falling from the table of the rich one. But coming, even the dogs licked his sores. ²² And it happened, the poor one died and was carried away by the angels into the bosom of Abraham. And the rich one also died and was buried. ²³ And being in torments in Hell, lifting up his eyes, he sees Abraham afar off and Lazarus in his bosoms. ²⁴ And calling he said, Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am suffering in this flame. ²⁵ But Abraham said, Child, remember that you fully received your good things in your lifetime, and Lazarus likewise the bad things. But now he is comforted, and you are suffering. ²⁶ And besides all these things, a great chasm has been fixed between us and you, so that those desiring to pass from here to you are not able, nor can they pass from there to us. ²⁷ And he said, Then I beg you, father, that you send him to my father's house; ²⁸ (for I have five brothers, so that he may witness to them, that they not also come to this place of torment). ²⁹ Abraham said to him, They have Moses and the Prophets, let them hear them. ³⁰ But he said, No, father Abraham, but if one should go from the dead to them, they will repent. ³¹ And he said to him, If they will not hear Moses and the Prophets, they will not be persuaded even if one from the dead should rise.

¹⁴ Howl, ships of Tarshish! For your fortress is ruined.

⁹ But these two things shall suddenly come to you, in one day: loss of children, and widowhood; as complete they come on you, for your many sorceries, for the multitude of your great spells.

⁶ And the iniquity of the daughter of my people is heaped more than the sin of Sodom, which was overthrown as in a moment, and no hands were spun on her.

⁶ And the chief of the seamen came near to him and said to him, What is it to you, O sound sleeper? Rise up and cry out to your God! It may be our god will notice us, and we will not perish.

⁸ Who has purposed this against Tyre, the crowning city, whose merchants are rulers, whose traders are the weighty of the earth? ⁹ Jehovah of Hosts has purposed it, to stain the pride of all glory, to bring all the honored of the earth into contempt.

³⁰ and will make heard their voice against you, and will cry bitterly, and will cause to go up dust on their heads; they will wallow in the ashes. ³¹ And they shall be bald for you and gird with sackcloth; and they shall weep for you with bitterness of soul, a bitter wailing. ³² And in their wailing they shall lift up a lamentation and lament over you, saying, Who is like Tyre, as she who is quiet in the midst of the sea?

⁴ And they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, Who is like the beast; who is able to make war with it?

⁶ And Joshua tore his clothing, and fell on his face to the earth before the ark of Jehovah until the evening, he and the elders of Israel. And they threw dust on their heads.

¹² And a man of Benjamin ran out of the battle line and came to Shiloh on that day. And his clothes were torn, and earth on his head.

¹⁹ And Tamar put ashes on her head, and tore the long tunic on her, and put her hand on her head, and left; going on and crying out.

¹ And on the twenty fourth day of this month the sons of Israel were gathered with fasting and with sackcloth, and with earth on them.

¹² And when they lifted up their eyes from a distance and did not recognize him, they lifted up their voice and wept then. And each one tore his robe. And they sprinkled dust on their heads toward the heavens.

³⁰ and will make heard their voice against you, and will cry bitterly, and will cause to go up dust on their heads; they will wallow in the ashes.

⁴² I will make My arrows drunk with blood, and My sword shall devour flesh, with the blood of the slain and of the captives, from the hairy head of the enemy.

³¹ So all Your enemies shall perish, O Jehovah, and those who love Him shall be as the sun when it goes forth in its might. And the land had rest forty years.

⁴⁷ He is the God who avenges me, and speaks to people under me.

¹¹ Mount Zion shall be glad; the daughters of Judah shall shout for joy because of Your judgments.

¹ O Jehovah, God of vengeance; O God of vengeance, shine forth!

¹¹ Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; let the sea roar, and the fullness of it. ¹² Let the field be joyful, and all that is in it; then the trees of the forest shall rejoice ¹³ before Jehovah; for He comes; for He comes to judge the earth; He shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with His faithfulness.

⁴² The upright shall see and be glad; and all iniquity shuts its mouth.

²⁸ They will curse, but You will bless; they rise up and are ashamed; but Your servant will be glad.

¹⁰ When the righteous prospers, the city rejoices; and at the wicked's perishing is singing.

²¹ For, behold, Jehovah comes out of His place to visit his iniquity on the dweller of the earth. The earth shall also reveal her blood, and shall no more cover over her slain ones.

²³ Sing, O heavens, for Jehovah has done it . Shout, O lower parts of the earth; burst forth into praise, O mountains. O forest and every tree in it, sing praise, because Jehovah has redeemed Jacob, and glorifies Himself in Israel.

¹³ Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; break out into singing, O mountains. For Jehovah has comforted His people and will have pity on His afflicted.

⁴⁷ So behold, the days come that I will punish on the idols of Babylon. And all her land shall be put to shame, and all her slain shall fall in her midst. ⁴⁸ Then the heavens and the earth, and all that is in them, shall shout for Babylon. For the plunderers shall come to her from the north, says Jehovah.

⁴⁹ And because of this, the wisdom of God said, I will send prophets and apostles to them, and they will kill and drive out some of them, ⁵⁰ that the blood of all the prophets which has been shed from the foundation of the world may be required from this generation,

⁷ and will God not at all execute the avenging of His elect, those crying to Him day and night, also having been long-suffering over them? ⁸ I say to you that He will carry out the avenging of them speedily. But the Son of man coming then, will He find faith on the earth?

²⁰ being built up on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the cornerstone,

⁵ which was not made known to the sons of men in other generations, as it now has been revealed to His holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit,

¹¹ And indeed He gave some to be apostles; and some prophets; and some evangelists; and some pastors and teachers;

² the words having been spoken before by the holy prophets, and the command of the Lord and Savior by us, the apostles;

¹⁷ But you, beloved, remember the words spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ,

¹⁰ And they cried with a great voice, saying, Until when, holy and true Master, do You not judge and take vengeance for our blood, from those dwelling on the earth?

¹² Because of this, be glad, the heavens and those tabernacling in them. Woe to the ones dwelling on the earth, and in the sea, because the Devil came down to you having great anger, knowing that he has a little time!

¹ And after these things, I heard a great voice of a numerous crowd in Heaven, saying, Hallelujah! The salvation and the glory and the honor and the power of the Lord our God! ² For true and righteous are His judgments, because He judged the great harlot who defiled the earth with her fornication. And He avenged the blood of His slaves out of her hand. ³ And secondly they said, Hallelujah! Also her smoke goes up forever and ever.

⁵ the depths cover them; they have dropped into the depths like a stone.

¹¹ And You divided the Sea before them, so that they went through the midst of the Sea on the dry land. And their pursuers You threw into the deep, like a stone into the mighty waters.

⁸ He flies off like a dream, and is not found; and is driven away like a night vision.

³⁶ yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not; and I looked for him, but he could not be found.

²¹ I will give you terrors, and you will not be. Though you are sought, yet you shall not be found any more forever, declares the Lord Jehovah.

¹⁹ And he shall turn his face toward the fortresses of his own land, but he will stumble and fall and shall not be found.

⁸ but they did not have strength, nor yet was place found for them in Heaven.

²⁰ And every island fled away, and mountains were not 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.

¹¹ And I saw a great white throne, and the One sitting on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled; and a place was not found for them.

⁴ and the doors shall be shut in the streets, when the sound of the mill is low, and one rises up at the voice of a bird, and all the daughters of music are silenced;

⁸ The joy of timbrels ceases; the noise of those who revel ends; the joy of the harp ceases. ⁹ They shall not drink wine with a song; fermented drink shall be bitter to those who drink it.

³⁴ Then I will cause the voice of gladness to cease from the cities of Judah and from the streets of Jerusalem, even the voice of joy, and the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride. For the land shall become a waste.

⁹ For so says Jehovah of Hosts the God of Israel: Behold I will cause to cease out of this place, before your eyes, and in your days, the voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride.

¹⁰ And I will take from them the voice of rejoicing, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the lamp.

¹¹ the voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the voice of those saying, Praise Jehovah of Hosts, for Jehovah is good, for His mercy endures forever; those who shall bring the sacrifice of thanksgiving into the house of Jehovah. For I will bring back the captivity of the land, as at the first, says Jehovah.

¹³ And I will make cease the noise of your songs. And the sound of your harps shall not be heard any more.

²² And it happened, when Jehoram saw Jehu, he said, Peace, Jehu? And he said, What peace, so long as the whoredoms of your mother Jezebel and her sorceries are so many?

¹⁷ How often is the lamp of the wicked put out, and their calamity comes on them! He shares out pangs in His anger;

¹⁸ But the path of the just is as a bright light going on and shining till the day is established. ¹⁹ The way of the wicked is as darkness; they do not know at what they stumble.

²⁰ for no hereafter shall be to the evil; the lamp of the wicked will be put out.

⁸ Who has purposed this against Tyre, the crowning city, whose merchants are rulers, whose traders are the weighty of the earth?

³³ When your wares went out from the seas, you satisfied many peoples. With the plenty of your riches and your goods, you enriched the kings of the earth. ³⁴ At this time you are broken from the seas. By the depths of the waters your goods and all your assembly have fallen in your midst.

⁴ because of the many harlotries of the well favored harlot, the mistress of sorceries who sells nations by her harlotries, and families by her sorceries.

¹¹ And they were paying attention to him because for a long time he had amazed them with his conjuring.

⁹ And the great dragon was cast out, the old serpent being called Devil, and, Satan; he deceiving the whole habitable world was cast out onto the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

¹³ And it does great signs, that even fire it causes to come down out of the heaven onto the earth before men. ¹⁴ And it deceives those dwelling on the earth, because of the signs which were given to it to do before the beast, saying to those dwelling on the earth to make an image to the beast who has the wound of the sword, and lived. ¹⁵ And was given to it to give a spirit to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast might even speak, and might cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. ¹⁶ And the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the freemen and the slaves, it causes that they give to them all a mark on their right hand, or on their foreheads,

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.

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.

⁵ And night will not be there; and they have no need of a lamp or a light of the sun, because the Lord God will shed light on them. And they shall reign forever and ever.

¹⁵ But outside are the dogs and the sorcerers, and the fornicators, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and everyone loving a lie, and making it.

³⁴ Also on your skirts is found the blood of the souls of the poor innocents; you did not find them breaking in, but on all these.

⁹ In you are men of slander in order to shed blood, and in you they eat on the mountains. In your midst they do unchaste acts.

¹² In you they have taken bribes in order to shed blood. You have taken interest and increase, and you have gained by extortion of your neighbor. And you have forgotten Me, declares the Lord Jehovah.

²⁷ Her rulers in her midst are like wolves tearing prey, to shed blood, to destroy souls, in order to gain unjust gain.

²¹ I was looking, and that horn made war with the saints and overcame them,

²⁷ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitened graves which outwardly indeed appear beautiful, but within are full of bones of the dead, and of all uncleanness.

⁴⁷ Woe to you! Because you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them. ⁴⁸ So you bear witness and consent to the works of your fathers; for they indeed killed them, and you build their tombs. ⁴⁹ And because of this, the wisdom of God said, I will send prophets and apostles to them, and they will kill and drive out some of them, ⁵⁰ that the blood of all the prophets which has been shed from the foundation of the world may be required from this generation, ⁵¹ from the blood of Abel until the blood of Zechariah who perished between the altar and the House. Yea, I say to you, it will be required from this generation.

⁶ since they poured out the blood of the saints and of the prophets; and You gave blood to them to drink, for they were deserving.

² For true and righteous are His judgments, because He judged the great harlot who defiled the earth with her fornication. And He avenged the blood of His slaves out of her hand.
