Revelation 16:19-21
1599 Geneva Bible
19 [a]And the great city was divided into three parts: and the cities of the nations [b]fell: and that great [c]Babylon came in remembrance before God, (A)to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.
20 And every isle fled away, and the mountains [d]were not [e]found.
21 [f]And there fell a great hail, like [g]talents out of heaven upon the men, and men blasphemed God, because of the plague of the hail: for the plague thereof was exceeding great.
