20 a“Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you1 holy apostles and prophets, for bGod has avenged you on her!”  

Finality of Babylon’s Fall

21 Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, a“Thus with violence the great city Babylon shall be thrown down, and bshall not be found anymore.  
22 aThe sound of harpists, musicians, flutists, and trumpeters shall not be heard in you anymore. No craftsman of any craft shall be found in you anymore, and the sound of a millstone shall not be heard in you anymore.  
23 aThe light of a lamp shall not shine in you anymore, band the voice of bridegroom and bride shall not be heard in you anymore. For cyour merchants were the great men of the earth, dfor by your sorcery all the nations were deceived.  
24 And ain her was found the blood of prophets and saints, and of all who bwere slain on the earth.”
