Revelation 18 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

Babylon Is Fallen

After^G3326 these^G3778 things^G3778 I saw^G3708 another^G243 angel^G32 coming^G2597 down^G2597 from heaven^G3772, having^G2192 great^G3173 authority^G1849, and the earth^G1093 was illuminated^G5461 from his glory^G1391.

Rev 18:2

Rev 18:2And he cried out with a mighty voice, saying, “[fn]Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great! She has become a dwelling place of demons and a [fn]prison of every unclean spirit, and a [fn]prison of every unclean and hateful bird.

Rev 18:3

Rev 18:3“For all the nations have fallen because of the wine of the passion of her sexual immorality, and the kings of the earth have committed acts of sexual immorality with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich from the [fn]excessive wealth of her [fn]luxury.”

Rev 18:4

I heard^G191 another^G243 voice^G5456 from heaven^G3772, saying^G3004, “Come^G1831 out^G1831 of her, my people^G2992, so^G2443 that^G2443 you will not participate^G4790 in her sins^G266 and receive^G2983 any of her plagues^G4127;

Rev 18:5

Rev 18:5for her sins have [fn]piled up as high as heaven, and God has remembered her offenses.

Rev 18:6

Rev 18:6“Pay her back even as she has paid, and [fn]give back to her double according to her deeds; in the cup which she has mixed, mix twice as much for her.

Rev 18:7

Rev 18:7“To the extent that she glorified herself and lived luxuriously, to the same extent give her torment and mourning; for she says in her heart, ‘I sit as a queen and I am not a widow, and will never see mourning.’

Rev 18:8

Rev 18:8“For this reason in one day her plagues will come, [fn]plague and mourning and famine, and she will be burned up with fire; for the Lord God who judges her is strong.

Grief over Babylon

Rev 18:9

“And the kings^G935 of the earth^G1093, who committed^G4203 acts of sexual^G4203 immorality^G4203 and lived^G4763 luxuriously^G4763 with her, will weep^G2799 and mourn^G2875 over^G1909 her when^G3752 they see^G991 the smoke^G2586 of her burning^G4451,

Rev 18:10

Rev 18:10standing at a distance because of the fear of her torment, saying, ‘Woe, woe, the great city, Babylon, the strong city! For in one hour your judgment has come.’

Rev 18:11

“And the merchants^G1713 of the earth^G1093 weep^G2799 and mourn^G3996 over^G1909 her, because^G3754 no^G3762 one^G3762 buys^G59 their cargo^G1117 any^G3765 more^G3765—

Rev 18:12

Rev 18:12cargo of gold, silver, precious [fn]stones, and pearls; fine linen, purple, silk, and scarlet; every kind of citron wood, every article of ivory, and every article made from very valuable wood, [fn]bronze, iron, and marble;

Rev 18:13

Rev 18:13cinnamon, [fn]spice, incense, perfume, frankincense, wine, olive oil, fine flour, wheat, cattle, sheep, and cargo of horses, carriages, [fn]slaves, and human lives.

Rev 18:14

Rev 18:14“The fruit [fn]you long for has left you, and all things that were luxurious and splendid have passed away from you and people will no longer find them.

Rev 18:15

Rev 18:15“The merchants of these things, who became rich from her, will stand at a distance because of the fear of her torment, weeping and mourning,

Rev 18:16

Rev 18:16saying, ‘Woe, woe, the great city, she who was clothed in fine linen and purple and scarlet, and [fn]adorned with gold, precious [fn]stones, and pearls;

Rev 18:17

Rev 18:17for in one hour such great wealth has been laid waste!’ And every shipmaster and every [fn]passenger and sailor, and all who [fn]make their living by the sea, stood at a distance,

Rev 18:18

Rev 18:18and were crying out as they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, ‘What city is like the great city?’

Rev 18:19

Rev 18:19“And they threw dust on their heads and were crying out, weeping and mourning, saying, ‘Woe, woe, the great city, in which all who had ships at sea became rich from her prosperity, for in one hour she has been laid waste!’

Rev 18:20

Rev 18:20“Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you [fn]saints and apostles and prophets, because God has [fn]pronounced judgment for you against her.”

Rev 18:21

Then^G2532 [fn]a strong^G2478 angel^G32 picked^G142 up^G142 a stone^G3037 like^G5613 a great^G3173 millstone^G6061 and threw^G906 it into the sea^G2281, saying^G3004, “So^G3779 will Babylon^G897, the great^G3173 city^G4172, be thrown^G906 down with violence^G3731, and will never^G3756^G3361 be found^G2147 again^G2089.

Rev 18:22

Rev 18:22“And the sound of harpists, musicians, flute players, and trumpeters will never be heard in you again; and no craftsman of any craft will ever be found in you again; and the sound of a mill will never be heard in you again;

Rev 18:23

Rev 18:23and the light of a lamp will never shine in you again; and the voice of the groom and bride will never be heard in you again; for your merchants were the powerful people of the earth, because all the nations were deceived by your witchcraft.

Rev 18:24

Rev 18:24“And in her was found the blood of prophets and of [fn]saints, and of all who have been slaughtered on the earth.”
