Revelation 18:19-21

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁹And they cast dust upon their heads, and cried, weeping and mourning, saying: Alas! alas! that great city, wherein all were made rich, that had ships at sea, by reason of her prices: for in one hour she is made desolate.

²⁰Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath judged your judgment on her.

²¹And a mighty angel took up a stone, as it were a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying: With such violence as this shall Babylon, that great city, be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.
