Revelation:18:16-21
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 .
*
Rejoice over her ,
thou heaven ,
and ye holy apostles and prophets ;
for God hath avenged you on her .
*
And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone ,
and cast it into the sea ,
saying ,
Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down ,
and shall be found no more at all .
