Unchecked Copy BoxRev 18:13 - and cinnamon, and odours, and ointment, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and cattle, and sheep, and of horses, and of chariots, and of bodies and souls of men.

Unchecked Copy BoxRev 18:19 - and they did cast dust upon their heads, and were crying out, weeping and sorrowing, saying, Wo, wo, the great city! in which were made rich all having ships in the sea, out of her costliness -- for in one hour was she made waste.
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 18:20 - 'Be glad over her, O heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets, because God did judge your judgment of her!'

Unchecked Copy BoxRev 18:22 - and voice of harpers, and musicians, and pipers, and trumpeters, may not be heard at all in thee any more; and any artizan of any art may not be found at all in thee any more; and noise of a millstone may not be heard at all in thee any more;
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 18:23 - and light of a lamp may not shine at all in thee any more; and voice of bridegroom and of bride may not be heard at all in thee any more; because thy merchants were the great ones of the earth, because in thy sorcery were all the nations led astray,
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 18:24 - and in her blood of prophets and of saints was found, and of all those who have been slain on the earth.'
