⁹ And behold, here came a chariot, a man, a pair of horsemen. And he will answer and say, She fell, Babel fell; and the carved images of her god he brake in pieces to the earth.

⁷ Alas! for that day is great from none being like it: and this the time of straits to Jacob and he shall be saved from it.

⁸ Babylon fell suddenly, and she will be broken: wail ye for her; take balsam for her pain, perhaps she will be healed. ⁹ We healed Babel, and she was not healed: forsake ye her and we will go each to his land: for her judgment reached to the heavens, and was lifted up even to the clouds.

¹⁵ Alas! for the day: for the day of Jehovah is near, and as destruction from the Almighty shall it come.

¹⁶ For this, thus said Jehovah God of armies, the Lord: In all your broad places, wailing; and in all the streets they shall say, Wo! wo! and they called to the husbandman to mourning, and wailing to all knowing lamentation.

¹² And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which took not yet the kingdom; but take power as kings one hour with the beast.

⁸ Therefore in one day shall her blows come, death, and grief, and famine; and she shall be burned down in fire: for strong the Lord God judging her.

¹⁴ For good her gain above the gain of silver, and her increase above gold.

¹ The burden of Tyre. Wail, ye ships of Tarshish, for it was laid waste from a house from going in: from the land of Chittim it was uncovered to them. ² Be ye silent, O inhabitants of the isle; the merchants of Zidon passing over the sea filled thee. ³ On many waters the seed of Sihor, the harvest of the river her produce; and she shall be the emporium of nations. ⁴ Be thou ashamed, O Zidon: for the sea said, the strength of the sea, saying, I was not pained, I brought not forth, and I caused not youths to grow, and I raised not up virgins. ⁵ As the hearing to Egypt; they shall be pained as the hearing of Tyre. ⁶ Pass ye through Tarshish; wail, ye inhabitants of the isle. ⁷ This to you the exulting from the days of old, her beginning; her feet shall fail her sojourning from far off. ⁸ Who will counsel this against Tyre, encircled with a crown, whom her merchants, chiefs; her merchants the honored of the earth. ⁹ Jehovah of armies purposed it to profane the pride of all glory, to make light all the honored of the earth. ¹⁰ Pass through thy land as a river, thou daughter of Tarshish: no more girding. ¹¹ He stretched forth his hand over the sea, he disquieted kingdoms: Jehovah commanded to Canaan to destroy her fortress. ¹² And he will say, Thou shalt no more add to exalt, thou violated virgin, daughter of Zidon: arise, pass over to Chittim; also there it shall not be rest to thee. ¹³ Behold the land of the Chaldees; this people was not; Assur founded it for the inhabitants of the desert: they set up its watch-towers, they raised up its fortresses, he set it for ruins. ¹⁴ Wail, ye ships of Tarshish: your strength was laid waste. ¹⁵ And it was in that day, and Tyre was forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king: from the end of seventy years it shall be to Tyre as the song of a harlot.

¹⁷ And they lifted up for thee a lamentation, and they said to thee, How wart thou destroyed being inhabited from the seas, the celebrated city which was strong in the sea, she and her inhabitants who gave their terrors to all her inhabitants. ¹⁸ Now shall the idles tremble the day of thy fall; and the isles which are in the sea loathed from thy going forth. ¹⁹ For thus said the Lord Jehovah: I measured thee a city being desolated as the cities which were not inhabited; in my bringing up the deep upon thee, and many waters covered thee. ²⁰ And brought thee down with them going down to the pit to the people of old, and I set thee in the earth, underneath in desolations from forever with them going down to the pit, so that thou shalt not be inhabited; and I gave glory in the land of the living,. ²¹ I will give thee for terrors, and not thee: and thou shalt be sought and shalt not be found any more forever, says the Lord Jehovah.

²⁷ Thy riches and thy markets, thy traffic, thy seamen, and thy shipmen, they making strong thy breach, and they trafficking thy traffic, and all the men of thy war that are in thee, and in all thy convocation which is in the midst of thee, they shall fall into the heart of the sea, in the day of thy fall. ²⁸ At the voice of the cry of thy shipmen, the areas shall shake. ²⁹ All holding the oars, the seamen and the shipmen of the sea, shall come down from their ships, they shall stand upon the earth. ³⁰ And with their voice they shall cause to be heard against thee, and they shall cry with bitterness, and they shall bring up dust upon their heads, and they shall roll themselves in ashes. ³¹ And they made themselves bald with baldness for thee, and they girded themselves with sackcloth, and they wept for thee with bitterness of soul and bitter wailing. ³² And their sons lifted up a lamentation for thee, and they lamented over thee: Who as Tyre, as she desolated in the midst of the sea? ³³ In the going forth of thy markets from the seas thou didst satisfy many peoples; with the multitude of thy riches and thy traffics thou didst enrich the kings of the earth. ³⁴ The time thou wert broken from the seas in the depths of the waters, thy traffic and all thy convocation fell in the midst of thee. ³⁵ All the inhabitants of the isles were astonished at thee, and their kings shuddering, shuddered; the faces were moved. ³⁶ The merchants among the peoples hissed at thee; thou wert terrors; and thou not, even forever.

¹¹ Wail, ye inhabitants of Maktesh, for all the people of Canaan were destroyed; all lifting up silver were cut off.

¹⁸ Also their silver also their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of Jehovah; and all the land shall be consumed by the fire of his jealousy: for he will make a completion even sudden of all dwelling in the land.

⁵ And they, not having heeded, departed, one truly to his own field, and one to his traffic:

¹⁶ And he said to those selling doves, Take away these things hence; make not the house of my Father a house of merchandise.

³ And by covetousness with feigned words shall trade in you: to whom judgment since a long while is not inactive, and their perdition sleeps not.

¹⁶ And he makes all, small and great, and rich and poor, and free and servants, that he should give them a stamp upon their right hand, or upon their foreheads: ¹⁷ And that no one could buy or sell, except he having the stamp, or the name of the wild beast, or the number of his name.

¹⁵ The wholesale merchants of these things, having been rich from her, shall stand from far off for fear of her torture, weeping and mourning,

¹¹ And also the ship of Hiram which lifted up gold from Ophir, brought from Ophir woods of almugs very many, and precious stone. ¹² And the king will make of the almug trees a support for the house of Jehovah, and for the king's house, harps and lyres for songs; there came not such woods of almugs, and were not seen even to this day.

⁸ And send to me cedar trees and cypresses, and algum trees from Lebanon: for I knew that thy servants are knowing to cut trees of Lebanon; and behold, my servants with thy servants,

¹⁰ Receive my instruction and not silver and knowledge above tried gold. ¹¹ For wisdom is good above pearls, and all delights shall not be made equal with her.

⁵ They built all thy bounds cypress from Shenir: they took cedars from Lebanon to make a mast for thee. ⁶ The oaks of Bashan they made thine oars; the house of the Ashurites made thy desk of ivory from the isles of Chittim. ⁷ Fine linen with variegation from Egypt was thy spreading forth to be to thee for a signal; cerulean purple, and reddish purple, from the isles of Elisha was thy covering. ⁸ The inhabitants of Zidon and Arvad were rowers to thee: thy wise, O Tyre, were in thee, they thy sailors.

¹⁶ And he stealing a man, and selling him, and being found in his hand, dying, he shall die.

⁷ If a man shall be found stealing a soul from his brethren from the sons of Israel, and shall lay hands upon him and sell him; and that thief died; and put thou away evil from the midst of thee.

⁶⁸ And Jehovah turned thee back to Egypt in ships, in the way; which I said to thee, Thou shalt not add more to see it: and ye were sold there to thine enemies for servants, and for maids, and none buying

¹⁰ And she will give to the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and spices very many, and precious stone; there came no more as this spice for multitude which queen Sheba gave to king Solomon.

¹⁵ Besides from the men travelling about and from the traffic of the merchants, and all the kings of Arabia and all the prefects of the earth.

²⁵ And they were bringing each his gifts, vessels of silver and vessels of gold, and garments and weapons and spices, horses, and mules, the word of a year in a year.

⁹ And she will give to the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and spices for a multitude greatly, and precious stone: and there was not as that spice which queen Sheba gave to king Solomon.

⁴ And there are those saying, We borrowed silver for the king's tribute, our fields and our vineyards. ⁵ And now according to the flesh of our brethren, our flesh; as their sons, our sons: and behold, we subdue our sons and our daughters for servants, and there is from our daughters being subdued: and not to the strength of our hand and our fields and our vineyards to others.

⁸ And saying to them, We bought off our brethren the Jews, being sold to the nations; according to the sufficiency in us and also will ye sell your brethren? and were they sold to us? And they will be silent, and they found not a word.

¹⁷ I sprinkled my bed with myrrh and aloes and cinnamon.

³ To the odor of the good ointments thy name shall be poured forth an ointment; for this, the maidens loved thee.

¹³ Thy sendings forth a park of pomegranates, with most precious fruits, cypresses with spikenards, ¹⁴ Spikenard and saffron; the reed and cinnamon, with all the woods of Lebanon; myrrh and aloes, with all the heads of spices.

⁵ I arose to open to my beloved, and my hands dropped myrrh, and my fingers, myrrh overflowing upon the hands of the bolt

¹ Thus said Jehovah, Where this writing of cutting off of your mother which I sent her away? or which of my creditors whom I sold you to him? Behold, in your iniquities ye sold yourselves, and in your transgressions your mother was sent away.

¹³ Javan, Tubal and Meshech, they thy merchants: they gave from thy traffic in the soul of man, and vessels of brass.

⁶ Thus said Jehovah: For three transgressions of Israel, and for four, I will not turn it back, for their selling the just one for silver and the needy for shoes;

⁶ Drinking wine in vases, and they will anoint with the chief of ointments: and they were not grieved for the breaking of Joseph.

⁶ To buy the poor with silver, and the needy for shoes; and we will sell the refuse of the grain.

³ Then Mary having taken a pound of perfumed oil of spikenard, very precious, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hairs: and the house was filled with the smell of the perfumed oil. ⁴ Then says one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, of Simon, being about to deliver him up, ⁵ Wherefore was not this perfumed oil sold for three hundred drachmas, and given to the poor? ⁶ And this he said, not that care was to him for the poor: but because he was a thief, and had the small coffer, and carried things deposited. ⁷ Then said Jesus, Let her go; for the day of my interment has she kept this. ⁸ For the poor have ye always with you;and me ye have not always.

¹⁰ For fornicators, unchaste, man-stealers, liars, the perjured, and if there be any other thing opposed to sound doctrine;

⁴ And the scraped together which in its midst will long a longing; and the sons of Israel also will turn back and weep, and they will say, Who will feed us with flesh?

³⁴ And he will call the name of that place, The Graves of Longings, for there they buried the people longing.

¹⁸ And they will tempt God in their heart to ask food for their soul.

¹⁴ And they will desire a desire in the desert, and they will tempt God in the waste.

²⁰ And God said to him, O foolish one, this night they require thy soul from thee: and what thou hast prepared, to whom shall it be?

²⁵ But Abraham said, Child, remember that thou didst receive thy good things in thy life, and Lazarus likewise evil things: and now here is he comforted, and thou art tormented.

⁶ And these things were our types, that we be not eagerly desirous of evil things, as they also eagerly desired.

² Ye eagerly desire, and have not: ye kill, and are zealous, and cannot succeed: ye fight and wage war, and ye have not, because ye ask not.

¹⁶ For every thing which in the world, the eager desire of the flesh, and the eager desire of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. ¹⁷ And the world passes away, and its eager desires: but he doing the will of God remains for ever.

²³ And they will call to the sons of Dan, and they will turn their faces and say to Micah, What to thee that thou criedst out? ²⁴ And he will say, My gods which I made, ye took away, and the priest, and ye will go: and what to me yet? and what this ye will say to me, What to thee?

³¹ And they made themselves bald with baldness for thee, and they girded themselves with sackcloth, and they wept for thee with bitterness of soul and bitter wailing.

⁷ Canaan in his hand, the balances of deceit: he loved to oppress. ⁸ And Ephraim will say, Surely I became rich, I found to me wealth: all my labors shall not be found to me iniquity which was sin.

¹⁶ For this, thus said Jehovah God of armies, the Lord: In all your broad places, wailing; and in all the streets they shall say, Wo! wo! and they called to the husbandman to mourning, and wailing to all knowing lamentation. ¹⁷ And in all vineyards, wailing: for I will pass through in the midst of thee, said Jehovah.

⁵ Which they possessing them will slaughter them, and they will not be punished: and they selling them will say, Blessed be Jehovah; and I shall be rich: and their shepherds had not pity upon them.

¹⁷ And he taught, saying to them, Has it not been written, That my house shall be called the house of prayer to all nations and ye made it a den of robbers.

¹⁹ And her lords having seen that the hope of their gain went out, taking Paul and Silas, they drew to the assembly to the rulers,

²⁴ For a certain Demetrius by name, a silversmith, making the silver temples of Diana, furnished no little work to artificers; ²⁵ Whom having collected together and the workmen of such things, he said, Men, ye know that out of this work is our good food. ²⁶ And ye see and hear that not only Ephesus, but almost all Asia, this Paul having persuaded, changed a sufficient crowd, saying, that they are not gods made by hands: ²⁷ And not only this part is in danger to us to come to reproach; but also the temple of the great goddess Diana to be reckoned for nothing, and her greatness also about to be destroyed, whom the whole of Asia and the habitable globe worship.

¹⁰ Standing from far off for fear of her torture, saying, Woe, woe, the great city Babylon, the strong city! for in one hour thy judgment came. ¹¹ And the wholesale merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for their cargo will none purchase more:

¹⁹ A certain man was rich, and was clothed in purple and fine linen, being daily splendidly gladdened: ²⁰ And there was a certain beggar, Lazarus by name, who was cast at his gate, having been wounded, ²¹ And eagerly desirous to be fed from crumbs falling from the rich one's table: but also the dogs, coming, licked off his wounds. ²² And it was, the beggar died, and was carried by messengers into Abraham's bosom: and the rich one died also, and was buried; ²³ And in hades, having lifted up his eyes, being in torments, he sees Abraham from far off, and Lazarus in his bosom. ²⁴ And he having called out, said, Father Abraham, pity me, and send Lazarus, that he might dip his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. ²⁵ But Abraham said, Child, remember that thou didst receive thy good things in thy life, and Lazarus likewise evil things: and now here is he comforted, and thou art tormented. ²⁶ And besides all these, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed: so that they wishing to pass through thence to you could not; neither could they cross over from thence to us. ²⁷ And he said, Then I ask thee, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house: ²⁸ For I have five brethren; that he might testify to them, lest they also come into this place of torment. ²⁹ Abraham says to him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. ³⁰ And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if some one from the dead go to them, they will change the mind. ³¹ And he said to him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither if any rise from the dead, will they be persueded.

¹⁴ Wail, ye ships of Tarshish: your strength was laid waste.

⁹ And these two shall come to thee suddenly, in one day, bereavement and widowhood: as finished they came upon thee, in the multitude of thy sorceries, and in the great numbers of thy enchantments.

⁶ For the iniquity of the daughter of my people will be great above the sin of Sodom being overthrown as in a moment, and no hands waited for her.

⁶ And the chief sailor will draw near to him and say to him, What to thee, thou snoring? Arise, and call to thy God; perhaps thy God will work for us and we shall not perish.

⁸ Who will counsel this against Tyre, encircled with a crown, whom her merchants, chiefs; her merchants the honored of the earth. ⁹ Jehovah of armies purposed it to profane the pride of all glory, to make light all the honored of the earth.

³⁰ And with their voice they shall cause to be heard against thee, and they shall cry with bitterness, and they shall bring up dust upon their heads, and they shall roll themselves in ashes. ³¹ And they made themselves bald with baldness for thee, and they girded themselves with sackcloth, and they wept for thee with bitterness of soul and bitter wailing. ³² And their sons lifted up a lamentation for thee, and they lamented over thee: Who as Tyre, as she desolated in the midst of the sea?

⁴ And they worshipped the dragon which gave power to the wild beast: and they worshipped the wild beast, saying, Who like the beast? who shall be able to war with him

⁶ And Joshua will rend his garments and will fall upon his face to the earth before the ark of Jehovah even till evening, he and the old men of Israel; and they will lift up dust upon their heads.

¹² And a man of Benjamin will run from the array, and he will come to Shiloh in that day; and his garments rent and earth upon his head.

¹⁹ And Tamar will take ashes upon her head, and she rent the tunic reaching to the feet which was upon her, and she will put her hand upon her head and will go, going and crying.

¹ And in the twenty and fourth day to this month, the sons of Israel were gathered together with fasting and with sackclothes, and earth upon them.

¹² And they will lift up their eyes from far off, and they knew him not, and they will lift up their voice and weep; and they will rend each his covering, and they will sprinkle dust upon their heads to the heavens.

³⁰ And with their voice they shall cause to be heard against thee, and they shall cry with bitterness, and they shall bring up dust upon their heads, and they shall roll themselves in ashes.

⁴² I will make mine arrows drunk with blood, And my sword shall eat flesh, From the blood of the wounded and the captivity, From the head of the enemy's leaders.

³¹ So shall all thine enemies perish, O Jehovah: And those loving him, as the going forth of the sun in his strength. And the land will rest forty years.

⁴⁷ God giving vengeance to me, and he will speak the peoples under me.

¹¹ Mount Zion shall rejoice, the daughters of Judah shall be glad for sake of thy judgments.

¹ O God of vengeance, O Jehovah God of vengeance, shine forth.

¹¹ The heavens shall be glad, and., the earth shall rejoice: the sea shall be moved, and its fulness. ¹² The field shall exult and all that is in it: then shall all the trees of the, forest rejoice. ¹³ Before the face of Jehovah; for he came, for he came to judge the earth: he will judge the habitable globe in justice, and the peoples in his faithfulness.

⁴² The upright shall see and be glad, and all iniquity shall shut her mouth.

²⁸ They will curse and thou wilt bless: they arose and they shall be ashamed; and thy servant shall be glad.

¹⁰ In the good of the just the city will exult: and in the perishing of the unjust it rejoiced.

²¹ For behold, Jehovah will come forth out of his place to review the iniquity of him dwelling in the earth upon him; and the earth uncovered her bloods, and she will no more cover over her slain.

²³ Shout, ye heavens, for Jehovah made: make a loud noise, ye lower parts of the earth: break forth into a shout of joy, ye mountains, thou forest and every tree in it, for Jehovah redeemed Jacob, and he will be honored in Israel.

¹³ Shout, ye heavens, and rejoice thou earth; and the mountains shall break forth with shouting: for Jehovah comforted his people and he will pity his afflicted.

⁴⁷ For this, behold, the days coming and I reviewed upon the carved images of Babel: and all her land shall be ashamed, and all her wounded shall fall in her midst ⁴⁸ And the heavens and the earth shouted against Babel, and all which is in them: for those laying waste shall come against her from the north, says Jehovah.

⁴⁹ And for this said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and the sent, and of them shall they kill and drive out: ⁵⁰ That the blood of all the prophets shed from the foundation of the world be required of this generation;

⁷ And shall not God do the avenging of his chosen, crying to him day and night, being slow to anger toward them? ⁸ I say to you, that he will do their avenging swiftly. But the Son of man having come, shall he find faith upon earth

²⁰ Built upon the foundation of the sent, and of the prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the corner stone;

⁵ Which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as now has been revealed to his holy sent and to the prophets by the Spirit:

¹¹ And truly he gave the sent; and the prophets; and the bearers of good tidings; and the shepherds, and the teachers;

² To remember the words spoken before by the holy prophets, and the command of us the sent of the Lord and Saviour:

¹⁷ And ye, dearly beloved, remember the words spoken before by the sent of our Lord Jesus Christ;

¹⁰ And they cried with a great voice, saying, Till when, Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood of them dwelling upon earth

¹² For this rejoice, ye heavens, and they dwelling in them. Woe to them inhabiting the earth and the sea! for the devil came down to you, having great wrath, knowing that he has little time.

¹ And after these things I heard the great voice of a vast multitude in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, to the Lord our God: ² For true and just his judgments: for he judged the great harlot, who corrupted the earth with her harlotry, and he avenged the blood of his servants from her hand. ³ And the second time they said, Alleluia. And her smoke goes up for ever and ever.

⁵ The depths will cover them: they will go down into the deep as a stone.

¹¹ And thou didst cleave asunder the sea before them, and they will pass over in the midst of the sea upon dry land; and those pursuing them thou didst cast into the depths as a stone into the strong waters.

⁸ As a dream he shall fly away, and they shall not find him: and he shall flee away as the vision of the night

³⁶ And he shall pass away, and behold, he is not: and I shall seek him and he was not found.

²¹ I will give thee for terrors, and not thee: and thou shalt be sought and shalt not be found any more forever, says the Lord Jehovah.

¹⁹ And he shall tarn back his face to the fortress of his land: and he was weak and he fell, and he shall not be found.

⁸ And were not strong; nor was place more found for them in heaven.

²⁰ And every island fled, and the mountains were not found.

²² And the voice of harp players, and musicians, and flute players, and trumpeters, should be heard in thee no more; and every artist of every art be found no more in thee; and the voice of the millstone should be heard no more in thee;

¹¹ And I saw a great white throne, and him sitting upon it, from the face of whom the earth and the heaven fled; and there was found no place for them.

⁴ And the doors were shut in the street, in the lowness of the voice of the grinding, and he shall rise up at the voice of the bird, and all the daughters of the song shall bow down;

⁸ The exulting of the drums ceased, the noise of those triumphing, left off, the exulting of the harp ceased. ⁹ They shall not drink wine with a song; strong drink shall be bitter to those drinking it

³⁴ And I caused to cease from the cities of Judah and from the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride: for the land shall be for a desolation.

⁹ For thus said Jehovah of armies, God of Israel: Behold me causing to cease from this place to your eyes and in your days the voice of gladness and the voice of joy, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride.

¹⁰ And I destroyed from them the voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the voice of the two millstones and the light of the lamp.

¹¹ The voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the voice of those saying, Praise ye Jehovah of armies: for Jehovah is good, for his mercy is forever: of them bringing thanksgiving to the house of Jehovah; for I will turn back the captivity of the land as at the first, said Jehovah.

¹³ And I caused the noise of thy songs to cease and the voice of thy harps shall no more be heard.

²² And it will be when Jehoram saw Jehu, and he will say, Is it peace? and Jehu will say, What the peace, while the fornication of Jezebel thy mother and her sorceries are many?

¹⁷ How often the light of the unjust shall be extinguished, and their destruction will come upon them. He will distribute pains in his anger.

¹⁸ The path of the just as the light shining, going and shining even to the day prepared. ¹⁹ The way of the unjust as darkness: they shall not know in what they shall stumble.

²⁰ For there shall be no latter state to the evil one: the light of the unjust shall be extinguished.

⁸ Who will counsel this against Tyre, encircled with a crown, whom her merchants, chiefs; her merchants the honored of the earth.

³³ In the going forth of thy markets from the seas thou didst satisfy many peoples; with the multitude of thy riches and thy traffics thou didst enrich the kings of the earth. ³⁴ The time thou wert broken from the seas in the depths of the waters, thy traffic and all thy convocation fell in the midst of thee.

⁴ From the multitude of the fornications of the fair harlot, the beauty of the mistress of sorceries, selling the nations by her fornication, and families by her sorceries

¹¹ And they attended to him, because for a sufficient time they were astonished by magics.

⁹ And the great dragon was cast out, the old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, he deceiving the whole habitable globe: he was cast into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

¹³ And he does great signs, that also he might make fire come down from heaven to the earth before men, ¹⁴ And he deceives them dwelling upon earth by the signs which were given him to do before the wild beast; saying to them dwelling upon earth, to make an image to the wild beast, who has the blow of the sword, and he lived. ¹⁵ And it was given him to give spirit to the image of the wild beast, that the image of the wild beast might speak, and might make as many as should not worship the image of the wild beast that they be killed. ¹⁶ And he makes all, small and great, and rich and poor, and free and servants, that he should give them a stamp upon their right hand, or upon their foreheads:

¹¹ And the wholesale merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for their cargo will none purchase more: ¹² The cargo of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all fir wood, and every ivory vessel, and every vessel of precious wood, and of iron, and brass, and marble, ¹³ And cinnamon, and perfumes, and ointment, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and the finest wheat flour, and wheat, and cattle, and sheep, and of horses, and of chariots, and of bodies, and of souls of men, ¹⁴ And the harvest fruit of the eager desire of thy soul departed from thee, and all fat and brilliant things departed from thee, and thou shouldest find them no more. ¹⁵ The wholesale merchants of these things, having been rich from her, shall stand from far off for fear of her torture, weeping and mourning, ¹⁶ And saying, Woe, woe, the great city, surrounded with fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and adorned with gold, and precious stones, and pearls! for in one hour was so great riches laid waste. ¹⁷ And every pilot, and all the crowd upon ships, and the sailors, and as many as work the sea, stood from far off, ¹⁸ And cried, seeing the smoke of her burning, saying, What like the great city! ¹⁹ And they cast earth upon their heads, and cried, weeping and mourning, saying, Woe, woe, the great city, in which all having ships in the sea were rich by her value! for in one hour was she rendered a desert.

⁸ But to the cowardly, and unbelieving, and to the abominable, and murderers, and to fornicators, and charmers, and to idolaters, and to all the lying, their part in the lake burning with fire and sulphur: which is the second death,

⁵ And night shall not be there; and they have no need of a lamp, and the light of the sun; for the Lord God shall enlighten them: and they shall reign for ever and ever.

¹⁵ And without, dogs, and charmers and fornicators, and murderers, and idolaters, and every one loving and doing a lie.

³⁴ Also in thy wings were found the blood of the souls of the innocent poor: not by breaking in did I find them, but upon all these.

⁹ Men of slander were in thee to pour forth blood: and they ate upon the mountains in thee: they did wickedness in the midst of thee.

¹² They took a gift in thee to pour out blood; thou tookest usury and interest, and thou wilt plunder thy neighbors by violence, and thou didst forget me, says the Lord Jehovah.

²⁷ Her chiefs in her midst as wolves rending the prey, to pour out blood, to destroy souls, for the sake of plundering plunder.

²¹ I was seeing, and this horn made an encounter with the holy ones, and prevailed against them;

²⁷ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like whitewashed tombs, which without indeed appear beautiful, but within are full of the bones of the dead, and of all uncleanness.

³⁵ So that all the just blood shed upon the earth might come upon you, from the blood of just Abel to the blood of Zacharias, son of Barachias, whom ye killed between the temple and altar.

⁴⁷ Woe to you! for ye build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them. ⁴⁸ Surely ye testify and assent to your fathers' works: for they indeed killed them, and ye build their tombs. ⁴⁹ And for this said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and the sent, and of them shall they kill and drive out: ⁵⁰ That the blood of all the prophets shed from the foundation of the world be required of this generation; ⁵¹ From the blood of Abel even to the blood of Zacharias perishing between the altar and house: yea, I say to you, It shall be required of this generation.

⁵² Which of the prophets did not your fathers drive out and they slew them announcing beforehand of the coming of the Just; of whom ye have now been traitors and murderers:

¹⁵ They also having slain the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and having driven you out; and not pleasing God, and opposite to all men;

⁷ And when they should finish their testimony, the wild beast coming up out of the abyss shall wage war with them, and shall conquer them, and kill them.

⁶ For they poured out the blood of the holy, and of the prophets, and thou didst give them blood to drink i for they are worthy.

⁶ And I saw the woman intoxicated from the blood of the holy, and from the blood of the witnesses of Jesus: and 1 wondered, seeing her, with great wonder.

² For true and just his judgments: for he judged the great harlot, who corrupted the earth with her harlotry, and he avenged the blood of his servants from her hand.
