19. They threw dust on their heads and cried out, weeping and mourning:“Alas, alas, great city,in which all who had ships at seagrew rich from her wealth.In one hour she has been ruined.
20. Rejoice over her, heaven,you holy ones, apostles, and prophets.For God has judged your case against her.”
21. A mighty angel picked up a stone like a huge millstone and threw it into the sea and said:“With such force will Babylon the great city be thrown down,and will never be found again.
22. No melodies of harpists and musicians,flutists and trumpeters,will ever be heard in you again.No craftsmen in any tradewill ever be found in you again.No sound of the millstonewill ever be heard in you again.
