Rev. 18:1‑24• 1After these things I saw another angel descending out of the heaven, having great authority: and the earth was lightened with his glory.
 2And he cried with a strong voice, saying, Great Babylon has fallen, has fallen, and has become the habitation of demons, and a hold of every unclean spirit, and a hold of every unclean and hated bird;
 3because all the nations have drunk of the wine of the fury of her fornication; and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have been enriched through the might of her luxury.
 4And I heard another voice out of the heaven saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye have not fellowship in her sins, and that ye do not receive of her plagues:
 5for her sins have been heaped on one another up to the heaven, and God has remembered her unrighteousnesses.
 6Recompense her even as she has recompensed; and double to her double, according to her works. In the cup which she has mixed, mix to her double.
 7So much as she has glorified herself and lived luxuriously, so much torment and grief give to her. Because she says in her heart, I sit a queen, and I am not a widow; and I shall in no wise see grief:
 8for this reason in one day shall her plagues come, death and grief and famine, and she shall be burnt with fire; for strong is the Lord God who has judged her.
 9And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication, and lived luxuriously with her, shall weep and wail over her, when they see the smoke of her burning,
 10standing afar off, through fear of her torment, saying, Woe, woe, the great city, Babylon, the strong city! for in one hour thy judgment is come.
 11And the merchants of the earth weep and grieve over her, because no one buys their lading any more;
 12lading of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and pearl, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet dye, and all thyine wood, and every article in ivory, and every article in most precious wood, and in brass, and in iron, and in marble,
 13and cinnamon, and amomum, and incense, and unguent, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and cattle, and sheep, and of horses, and of chariots, and of bodies, and souls of men.
 14And the ripe fruits which were the lust of thy soul have departed from thee, and all fair and splendid things have perished from thee, and they shall not find them any more at all.
 15The merchants of these things, who had been enriched through her, shall stand afar off through fear of her torment, weeping and grieving,
 16saying, Woe, woe, the great city, which was clothed with fine linen and purple and scarlet, and had ornaments of gold and precious stones and pearls!
 17for in one hour so great riches has been made desolate. And every steersman, and every one who sailed to any place, and sailors, and all who exercise their calling on the sea, stood afar off,
 18and cried, seeing the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like to the great city?
 19and cast dust upon their heads, and cried, weeping and grieving, saying, Woe, woe, the great city, in which all that had ships in the sea were enriched through her costliness! for in one hour she has been made desolate.
 20Rejoice over her, heaven, and ye saints and apostles and prophets; for God has judged your judgment upon her.
 21And a strong angel took up a stone, as a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall Babylon the great city be cast down, and shall be found no more at all;
 22and voice of harp-singers and musicians and flute-players and trumpeters shall not be heard any more at all in thee, and no artificer of any art shall be found any more at all in thee, and voice of millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee,
 23and light of lamp shall shine no more at all in thee, and voice of bridegroom and bride shall be heard no more at all in thee; for thy merchants were the great ones of the earth; for by thy sorcery have all the nations been deceived.
 24And in her was found the blood of prophets and saints, and of all the slain upon the earth. (Rev. 18:1‑24)

• "The great whore" had presented an obstinate barrier to blessing; not simply because she was evil, but because her profession had been all that was holy and true, while in effect she it was who above all had been active in corrupting grace and truth as far as possible; she had utterly and systematically denied Christ in effect, though parading everywhere the outward symbol of His cross…. But now the true and righteous judgment of God had smitten her, and there is rejoicing in heaven. (“Revelation 18: The Great City Babylon” by H. Smith)

WK Translation Notes

+
a
"And" should disappear from the beginning according to the best and fullest authority.
b
There is as good authority for inserting "as it were" after "I heard" in the RV; and here the Complutensian and Elzevir differ from Erasmus, and Stephens whom the KJV followed.
c
The order in the T. R. differs slightly.
d
The ancient order has been departed from in the RV, and the grammatical form. The Complutensian editors adhered to the construction and sense of legontōn (saying).
e
The expression "and honor" is an addition from preceding ascription of praise, and has only small support of inferior authorities here. The Complutensian edition rightly left it out.
f
The best MSS. have "of our God," and so the Complutensian, not "to" as some copies and ancient versions, still less "to the Lord our God" as in the T. R.
