Woe, woe, the great city,^(B)
Babylon, the mighty city!
For in a single hour
your judgment has come.

Woe, woe, the great city,
dressed in fine linen, purple, and scarlet,
adorned with gold, jewels, and pearls;^(A)

Woe, woe, the great city,^(C)
where all those who have ships on the sea
became rich from her wealth;
for in a single hour she was destroyed.

In this way, Babylon the great city
will be thrown down violently^(B)
and never be found again.^(C)
