1 After these things I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was illuminated by his splendor.
2 And he cried out with a strong voice saying:
4 And I heard another Voice from heaven saying:
9 “The kings of the earth who fornicated and lived luxuriously with her will weep and mourn over her, when they see the smoke of her burning,
10 standing afar off for fear of her torment,saying:
11 “And the merchants of the earth weep and sorrow over her, because no one buys their goods anymore:
12 goods of gold and of silver, of precious stones and of pearl, of fine linen and of purple, of silk and of scarlet; every citron wood and object of ivory, every object of most precious wood and of bronze and of iron and of marble;
13 cinnamon and incense and perfume and frankincense, wine and olive oil and fine flour and wheat, cattle and sheep and horses and carriages, and bodies and souls of men!”
14 (‘Yes, the fruit that your soul craved has gone from you, and all the sumptuous and splendid things have perished from you, and you will never find them again!’)
15 “The merchants of these things, who became rich by her, will stand afar off for fear of her torment,weeping and sorrowing
16 and saying:
17 “And every ship captain, and all who travel by ship—sailors and as many as work the sea—stood afar off
18 and cried out, seeing the smoke of her burning, saying, ‘Who is like the great city!?’
19 They threw dust on their heads and cried out, weeping and sorrowing and saying:
20 “Rejoice over her, O heaven, yes you saints and apostles and prophets, because God has pronounced your judgment against her!”
21 And a mighty angel took up a stone like a huge millstone and threw it into the ocean saying:
24 And in her was found the blood of prophets and saints, even of all who had been butchered on the earth.
