J. N. Darby Translation

JND Translation Notes

+
f
Or "prison," where they are confined.

W. Kelly Translation

+
2
And he cried with a strong voicea, saying, Fallen [fallenb] is Babylon the great, and is become a habitation of demonsc, and a hauntd of every unclean spirit, and a haunt of every unclean and hated birde.

WK Translation Notes

+
a
It should be "cried with a strong voice," not "mightily with a loud voice" as in the T. R. without known authority.
b
Many MSS. have "is fallen" twice; but the best read it but once.
c
The Edd. give the word "demons," not "devils."
d
The word "hold" in the KJV would be the prison where they are forcibly kept. "Foul" and "unclean" in the KJV both represent "unclean."
e
There are various insertions and omissions in the copies of the verse which call for no special notice here.
