⁸ And their dead bodies will lie on the street of the ^(A)great city which ^[a]spiritually is called ^(B)Sodom and ^(C)Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified.

¹⁸ The woman whom you saw is ^(A)the great city, which ^[a]reigns over the kings of the earth.”

^10 (A)standing at a distance because of the fear of her torment, saying, ‘^(B)Woe, woe, ^(C)the great city, Babylon, the strong city! For in ^(D)one hour your judgment has come.’

¹⁸ and were ^(A)crying out as they ^(B)saw the smoke of her burning, saying, ‘^(C)What city is like ^(D)the great city?’ ¹⁹ And they threw ^(E)dust on their heads and were crying out, weeping and mourning, saying, ‘^(F)Woe, woe, the great city, in which all who had ships at sea ^(G)became rich from her prosperity, for in ^(H)one hour she has been laid ^(I)waste!’ ^20 (J)Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you ^[a]saints and ^(K)apostles and prophets, because ^(L)God has ^[b]pronounced judgment for you against her.”

²¹ Then ^[c]a ^(M)strong angel ^(N)picked up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, “So will Babylon, ^(O)the great city, be thrown down with violence, and ^(P)will never be found again. ²² And ^(Q)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 ^(R)sound of a mill will never be heard in you again; ²³ and the light of a lamp will never shine in you again; and the ^(S)voice of the groom and bride will never be heard in you again; for your ^(T)merchants were the powerful people of the earth, because all the nations were deceived ^(U)by your witchcraft. ²⁴ And in her was found the ^(V)blood of prophets and of ^[d]saints, and of ^(W)all who have been slaughtered on the earth.”
