*
saying :
Alas ,
alas ,
the great city ,
that was clothed in tilde linen and purple and scarlet ,
and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls !
*
for in one hour so great wealth is made desolate .
And every pilot ,
and every one that saileth to any place ,
and mariners ,
and as many as trade by sea ,
stood afar off ,
*
and cried out when they saw the smoke of her burning ,
saying ,
What city is like the great city !
*
And they cast dust on their heads ,
and cried out ,
weeping and mourning ,
saying :
Alas ,
alas ,
the great city ,
whereby were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her wealth !
for in one hour she is made desolate .
*
Rejoice over her ,
thou heaven ,
and ye saints and ye apostles and ye prophets !
for God hath avenged you on her .
*
And a strong angel took up a stone like a great millstone ,
and cast it into the sea ,
saying ,
Thus with violence shall Babylon the great city be thrown down ,
and shall never more be found .
