Revelation:18:3-19
Seeker Overlay ON
*
For all nations have drunk of the wine 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 .
*
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 .
*
For her sins have reached unto heaven ,
and God hath remembered her iniquities .
*
Reward her even as she rewarded you ,
and double unto her double according to her works :
in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double .
*
How much she hath glorified herself ,
and lived deliciously ,
so much torment and sorrow give her :
for she saith in her heart ,
I sit a queen ,
and am no widow ,
and shall see no sorrow .
*
Therefore shall her plagues come in one day ,
death ,
and mourning ,
and famine ;
and she shall be utterly burned with fire :
for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her .
*
And the kings of the earth ,
who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her ,
shall bewail her ,
and lament for her ,
when they shall see the smoke of her burning ,
*
Standing afar off for the fear of her torment ,
saying ,
Alas ,
alas ,
that great city Babylon ,
that mighty city !
for in one hour is thy judgment come .
*
And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her ;
for no man buyeth their merchandise any more :
*
The merchandise of gold ,
and silver ,
and precious stones ,
and of pearls ,
and fine linen ,
and purple ,
and silk ,
and scarlet ,
and all thyine wood ,
and all manner vessels of ivory ,
and all manner vessels of most precious wood ,
and of brass ,
and iron ,
and marble ,
*
And cinnamon ,
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 .
*
And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee ,
and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee ,
and thou shalt find them no more at all .
*
The merchants of these things ,
which were made rich by her ,
shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment ,
weeping and wailing ,
*
And saying ,
Alas ,
alas ,
that great city ,
that was clothed in fine linen ,
and purple ,
and scarlet ,
and decked with gold ,
and precious stones ,
and pearls !
*
For in one hour so great riches is come to nought .
And every shipmaster ,
and all the company in ships ,
and sailors ,
and as many as trade by sea ,
stood afar off ,
*
And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning ,
saying ,
What city is like unto this great city !
*
And they cast dust on their heads ,
and cried ,
weeping and wailing ,
saying ,
Alas ,
alas ,
that great city ,
wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness !
for in one hour is she made desolate .
