|
|
2. He cried out in a mighty voice: "Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great. She has become a haunt for demons. She is a cage for every unclean spirit, a cage for every unclean bird, (a cage for every unclean) and disgusting (beast).
|
2. And G2532 he cried G2896 mightily G1722 G2479 with a strong G3173 voice G5456 , saying G3004 , Babylon G897 the G3588 great G3173 is fallen G4098 , is fallen G4098 , and G2532 is become G1096 the habitation G2732 of devils G1142 , and G2532 the hold G5438 of every G3956 foul G169 spirit G4151 , and G2532 a cage G5438 of every G3956 unclean G169 and G2532 hateful G3404 bird G3732 .

|
4. And G2532 I heard G191 another G243 voice G5456 from G1537 heaven G3772 , saying G3004 , Come G1831 out of G1537 her G846 , my G3450 people G2992 , that G2443 ye be not partakers G4790 G3361 of her G848 sins G266 , and G2532 that G2443 ye receive G2983 not G3361 of G1537 her G848 plagues G4127 .
|
|
5. for her sins are piled up to the sky, and God remembers her crimes.
|

|
|
7. To the measure of her boasting and wantonness repay her in torment and grief; for she said to herself, 'I sit enthroned as queen; I am no widow, and I will never know grief.'
|
7. How much G3745 she hath glorified G1392 herself G1438 , and G2532 lived deliciously G4763 , so much G5118 torment G929 and G2532 sorrow G3997 give G1325 her G846 : for G3754 she saith G3004 in G1722 her G848 heart G2588 , I sit G2521 a queen G938 , and G2532 am G1510 no G3756 widow G5503 , and G2532 shall see G1492 no G3364 sorrow G3997 .
|
|
8. Therefore, her plagues will come in one day, pestilence, grief, and famine; she will be consumed by fire. For mighty is the Lord God who judges her."
|
8. Therefore G1223 G5124 shall her G848 plagues G4127 come G2240 in G1722 one G3391 day G2250 , death G2288 , and G2532 mourning G3997 , and G2532 famine G3042 ; and G2532 she shall be utterly burned G2618 with G1722 fire G4442 : for G3754 strong G2478 is the Lord G2962 God G2316 who judgeth G2919 her G846 .
|
|
9. The kings of the earth who had intercourse with her in their wantonness will weep and mourn over her when they see the smoke of her pyre.

|
|

|
22. And G2532 the voice G5456 of harpers G2790 , and G2532 musicians G3451 , and G2532 of pipers G834 , and G2532 trumpeters G4538 , shall be heard G191 no more at all G2089 G3364 in G1722 thee G4671 ; and no G3956 craftsman G5079 , of whatsoever G3956 craft G5078 he be, shall be found G2147 any more G2089 G3364 in G1722 thee G4671 ; and G2532 the sound G5456 of a millstone G3458 shall be heard G191 no more at all G2089 G3364 in G1722 thee G4671 ;

|
|
24. In her was found the blood of prophets and holy ones and all who have been slain on the earth."
|
24. And G2532 in G1722 her G846 was found G2147 the blood G129 of prophets G4396 , and G2532 of saints G40 , and G2532 of all G3956 that were slain G4969 upon G1909 the G3588 earth G1093 .
