¹ After these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightned with his glory. ² And he cried with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of daemons, and the hold of every unclean and hateful spirit; and a cage of every unclean and hateful wild beast. ³ For all nations have drunk of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies, ⁴ And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues: ⁵ For her sins have adhered unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities, ⁶ Reward her even as she hath rewarded, and double double, according to her works; in the cup which she hath filled, fill to her double. ⁷ How much she hath glorified her self, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, that I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. ⁸ Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burnt with fire: for strong [is] God who hath judged her. ⁹ And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication, and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, ¹⁰ Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for one hour [is] thy judgment. ¹¹ And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her, for no man buyeth her merchandise any more: ¹² The merchandise of gold, and sliver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and every vessel of ivory, and every vessel of most precious stone, and of brass and iron, and marble, ¹³ And cinnamon, and amomum, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men. ¹⁴ And the fruit of the desire of thy soul is departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are perished from thee, and they shall find them no more at all. ¹⁵ The merchants of these things which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off, for fear of [her] torment, weeping and mourning, ¹⁶ Saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and decked with gold and precious stones, and pearl: ¹⁷ For in one hour so great riches iscome to nought.

¹ And there came out one of the seven angels who had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore, that sitteth upon many waters: ² With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabiters of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. ³ So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads, and ten horns. ⁴ And the woman was arrayed in purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stone, and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand, full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication. ⁵ And upon her forehead [was] a name written, Mystery Babylon the great, the mother of harlots, and abominations of the earth. ⁶ And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration. ⁷ And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the wild beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns. ⁸ The wild beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the abyss, and goes into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and shall come, ⁹ And here [is] the mind which hath wisdom, The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. ¹⁰ And they are seven kings: five are fallen, one is, the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. ¹¹ And the wild beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition. ¹² And the ten horns which thou sawest, are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the wild beast. ¹³ These have one mind, and give their power and strength unto the wild beast. ¹⁴ These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings; and they that are with him, [are] called, and chosen, and faithful. ¹⁵ And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. ¹⁶ And the ten horns which thou sawest and the wild beast, these shall hate the whore, and make her desolate, and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. ¹⁷ For God hath put into their hearts to fulfil his will, and to give their kingdom unto the wild beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled. ¹⁸ And the woman which thou sawest, is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

⁸ But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
