Revelation 18:19-21
1599 Geneva Bible
19 And they shall cast dust on their heads, and cry, weeping, and wailing, and say, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships on the sea by her coastlines: for in one hour she is made desolate.
20 [a]O heaven, rejoice of her, and ye holy Apostles and Prophets: for God hath punished her, to be revenged on her for your sakes.
21 [b]Then a mighty Angel took up a stone, like a great millstone, (A)and cast it into the sea, saying, With such violence shall that great city Babylon be cast and shall be found no more.
