| «Come out of her, my people
|
| Lest you share in her sins
|
| Lest you receive of her plagues
|
| Her sins reach the heavens
|
| And God has remembered her name.»
|
| Babylon; |
| she is fallen, Babylon the harlot
|
| Babylon the great crawls on her knees
|
| Cursed with disease and fate…
|
| She has become the habitation of demons
|
| A prison for every foul spirit
|
| And a cage for every unclean bird…
|
| For all nations have drunk of the wine
|
| Of the wrath of her fornication
|
| And the kings of the earth have raped her
|
| And chained her in her desolation…
|
| For she says in her heart
|
| «I am queen, I am power.»
|
| And her plagues shall they come
|
| In one day, in one hour…
|
| «Burn; |
| Babylon, burn.»
|
| «Your riches are corrupted
|
| Your gold and silver are corroded
|
| And their corrosion will be witness against you
|
| And will eat your flesh like fire.»
|
| The angel took the stone
|
| And threw it into the sea
|
| Saying, «Thus with violence
|
| Babylon shall be thrown down
|
| And shall not be found anymore.» |
