Revelation 17:16 — Revelation 18:19
16 And the aten horns which you saw and the beast, these will 1hate the harlot and will make her bdesolate and naked and will eat her flesh and cburn her utterly with fire.

18 And the 1woman whom you saw is the agreat city, which has a kingdom over the kings of the earth.
CHAPTER 18
1 After these things I saw 1aanother Angel 2coming down out of heaven, having great authority; and the earth was billumined with His glory.
2 And He cried with a strong voice, saying, 1aFallen, fallen is Babylon the Great! And she has become a bdwelling place of demons and a 2hold of every cunclean spirit and a 2hold of every unclean and hateful bird;
3 For all the nations 1have 2adrunk of the wine of the fury of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have bcommitted fornication with her, and the cmerchants of the earth have become drich by the power of her eluxury.
4 And I heard another voice out of heaven, saying, 1aCome out of her, My people, that you do not participate in her sins and that you do not receive her plagues;
5 For her sins have 1accumulated up ato heaven, and God has bremembered her 2unrighteousnesses.
6 aPay her back even as she has paid, and 1double to her double according to her works; in the bcup which she has mixed, mix to her double.
7 As much as she has aglorified herself and lived bluxuriously, as much torment and sorrow give to her; for she says in her heart, I sit a cqueen, and I am not a dwidow, and I shall by no means see sorrow.
8 Therefore in aone day her plagues will come, death and sorrow and famine, and she will be utterly 1bburned with fire; for the Lord God who cjudges her is strong.
9 And the kings of the earth, who have acommitted fornication and lived luxuriously with her, will bweep and lament over her when they see the csmoke of her burning,
10 aStanding afar off because of fear of her torment, saying, bWoe, woe, the cgreat city, dBabylon, the strong city, for in eone hour your fjudgment has come!
11 And the merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her because no one buys their cargo anymore:
12 1Cargo of gold and silver and precious stone and pearls and fine linen and purple and silk and scarlet, and every kind of 2thyine wood, and every vessel of ivory, and every vessel of most precious wood and brass and iron and marble,
13 And cinnamon and 1amomum and incense and ointment and frankincense and wine and oil and fine flour and wheat and cattle and sheep, and cargo of horses and chariots and 2aslaves and 3bsouls of men.
14 And the ripe fruits of your soul’s lust have gone away from you, and all the sumptuous and splendid things have perished from you; and menwill find them no more at all.
15 The merchants of these things, who became rich by her, will stand afar off because of the fear of her torment, weeping and mourning,
16 Saying, Woe, woe, the great city, which was aclothed in fine linen and purple and scarlet, and gilded with gold and precious stone and pearl;
17 For in one hour such great wealth has become adesolate! And every ship captain and everyone sailing to a place and sailors and all who work on the sea stood afar off
18 And cried out, seeing the asmoke of her burning, saying, What city is like the great city?
19 And they cast dust on their heads and cried out, weeping and mourning, saying, Woe, woe, the great city, by which all those who have ships on the sea became rich from her 1wealth, for in 2one hour she has become desolate!
