\subsection{Revelation 18}
\VS{1} After these [things] I saw another angel descending from heaven having great 
authority, and the land was illuminated by his glory. 
\VS{2} For he cried 
out with [a] strong voice saying: Fallen fallen [is] Babylon the great, and it has 
become [the] dwelling place of demons and [a] prison of every unclean and hated 
bird, 
\VS{3} for from the wine of the anger of her fornication have drunk 
all the nations, and the kings of the land have fornicated with her, and 
the merchants of the land have become wealthy from the power of her 
luxury\footnote{or ``sensuality''}. 
\VS{4} And I heard another voice from 
heaven saying: Come out from her my people, lest you share with her sins, 
and lest you receive from her plagues. 
\VS{5} For her sins have reached 
until heaven, and God has remembered her unjust [deeds]. 
\VS{6} Render to her as 
she also rendered, and double [to her] double according to her deeds. In the cup 
which she has mixed, mix her double. 
\VS{7} As much as she glorified herself 
and live luxuriously\footnote{or ``sensuously''}, this much torment and 
sorrow give to her. For in her heart she says that: I sit [a] queen and am not 
[a] widow and shall \negd{not} see sorrow. 
\VS{8} Because of this her 
plagues will come in one day, death and sorrow and famine, and she will be 
burned with fire, for strong [is] the Lord God having judged her. 
\VS{9} And the 
kings of the land having fornicated and having 
lived-luxuriously\footnote{or ``sensuously''} with her will weep and mourn, 
when they see the smoke of her burning, 
\VS{10} having stood from afar 
because of fear of her torment, saying: Woe, woe, great city, Babylon the 
strong city, for in one hour came your judgment. 
\VS{11} And the merchants 
of the land will weep and mourn over her, because no one buys their goods 
anymore, 
\VS{12} goods of gold and silver and precious stones and pearls and 
fine linen and purple silk and scarlet, and every citron wood and every 
ivory vessel and every vessel of most precious wood and copper and iron and 
marble, 
\VS{13} and cinnamon and amomun and incense and ointment and 
frankincense and wine and olive oil and fine flour and wheat and cattle and 
sheep and horses and carriages and bodies and psyche-lives\fnPsyche{} of men. 
\VS{14} And your fruit of the lust of [your] psyche-life\fnPsyche{} has departed from you, 
and everything costly\footnote{or ``fat'', ``oily'', ``rich''} and shiny has perished from 
you, and you will \negt{NO LONGER} find them. 
\VS{15} The merchants of 
these [things], those having become wealthy, will stand from afar because of fear of 
her torment, weeping and sorrowing, 
\VS{16} saying: Woe, woe, the great 
city, clothed with fine-linen and purple and scarlet, and bedecked with gold 
and precious stone and pearl, 
\VS{17} because in one hour such wealth has 
been made [a] wilderness. And every pilot, and everyone sailing upon the place 
and sailors and as many as work [on] the sea, stood from afar, 
\VS{18} and were 
crying out seeing the smoke of her burning saying: What [city is] like the great 
city? 
\VS{19} And they throw dust on their heads and were crying out weeping 
and sorrowing, saying: Woe, woe, the great city, by which were made wealthy 
all those having ships in the sea, by her abundance. 
\VS{20} Be being happy 
over her, O heaven and holy [ones], and apostles, and prophets, because the Lord 
has judged your judgment on her. 
\VS{21} And one strong angel took [a] stone 
like [a] great millstone, and threw [it] into the sea saying: Thus with 
violent-rush will Babylon the great city be thrown [down], and it will \negd{not} every be found. 
\VS{22} And the sound of harps and musicians and 
flautists and trumpets will \negd{not ever} be heard in her, and every 
craftsman of every craft will \negd{not ever} be found in her, and 
[the] sound of [a] millstone will \negd{not ever} be heard in her, 
\VS{23} and [the] light of [a] lamp will \negd{not ever} shine in her, and the sound of 
bridegroom and bride will \negd{not ever} be heard in her, because 
your merchants were the great [men] of the land, because by your sorcery were 
all the nations deceived, 
\VS{24} and in her was found [the] blood of [the] prophets 
and holy [ones] and all those slain upon the land.
