Revelation 18 - Easy To Read Version

1 Then I saw another angel coming down from heaven. This angel had much power. The angel’s glory made the earth bright.

2 The angel shouted with a powerful voice:

3 All the peoples of the earth have drunk\par the wine of her sexual sin\par and of \{God’s\} anger.\par The rulers of the earth sinned sexually\par with her,\par and the merchants {\cf2\super [130]} of the world\par grew rich from the great wealth\par of her luxury.”\par

4 Then I heard another voice from heaven say:

5 That city’s sins are piled up as high as heaven.\par God has not forgotten the wrong things she has done.\par

6 Give that city the same as she gave to others.\par Pay her back twice as much as she did.\par Prepare wine for her that is twice as strong as the wine she prepared for others.\par

7 She (Babylon) gave herself much glory\par and rich living.\par Give her that much suffering and sadness.\par She says to herself, ‘I am a queen\par sitting \{on my throne\}.\par I am not a widow {\cf2\super [131]} ;\par I will never be sad.’\par

8 So these bad things will come to her\par in one day:\par death, sad crying, and great hunger.\par She will be destroyed by fire,\par because the Lord God who judges her\par is powerful.\par

9 “The rulers of the earth who sinned sexually with her (Babylon) and shared her wealth will see the smoke from her burning. Then those rulers will cry and be sad because of her \{death\}.

10 The rulers will be afraid of her suffering and stand far away. The rulers will say:

11 “And the merchants {\cf2\super [132]} of the earth will cry and be sad for her (Babylon). They will be sad because now there is no one to buy the things they sell.

12 They sell gold, silver, jewels, pearls, fine linen cloth, purple cloth, silk, and scarlet cloth, all kinds of citron wood, and all kinds of things made from ivory, expensive wood, bronze, iron, and marble.

13 Those merchants also sell cinnamon, spice, incense, frankincense, myrrh, wine, and olive oil; fine flour, wheat, cattle, sheep, horses, carriages, and the bodies and souls of men. \{The merchants will cry and say:\}

14 ‘\{O Babylon,\}the good things you wanted\par are gone from you.\par All your rich and fancy things have disappeared.\par You will never have those things again.’\par

15 “The merchants {\cf2\super [133]} will be afraid of her suffering and stand far away from her (Babylon). These are the people who became rich from selling those things to her. The people will cry and be sad.

16 They will say:

17 All these riches have been destroyed\par in one hour!’\par

18 They saw the smoke from her burning. They said loudly, ‘There was never a city like this great city!’

19 They threw dust on their heads. They cried and were sad. They said loudly:

20 Be happy because of this, O heaven!\par Be happy, God’s holy people {\cf2\super [134]} and apostles {\cf2\super [135]} and prophets {\cf2\super [136]} !\par God has punished her because of the things she did to you.’”\par

21 Then a powerful angel picked up a large rock. This rock was as big as a large millstone. {\cf2\super [137]} The angel threw the rock into the sea and said:

22 The music of people playing harps {\cf2\super [138]} and other instruments, flutes and trumpets,\par will never be heard in you again.\par No workman doing any job will ever be found in you again.\par The sound of a millstone {\cf2\super [139]} will never be heard in you again.\par

23 The light of a lamp will never\par shine in you again.\par The voices of a bridegroom {\cf2\super [140]} and bride\par will never be heard in you again.\par Your merchants {\cf2\super [141]} were the world’s\par great people.\par All the nations were tricked by your magic.\par

24 She (Babylon) is guilty\par of the blood (death) of the prophets, {\cf2\super [142]} \par of God’s holy people, {\cf2\super [143]} and of all the people who have been killed on earth.”\par
