## Revelation 18:19 in Context (Verses 16–22 KJV)
 
 [16 ](/kjv/revelation/18/16) And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls!
 
 [17 ](/kjv/revelation/18/17) For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
 
 [18 ](/kjv/revelation/18/18) And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What *city is* like unto this great city!
 
 [19 ](/kjv/revelation/18/19) And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.
 
 [20 ](/kjv/revelation/18/20) Rejoice over her, *thou* heaven, and *ye* holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.
 
 [21 ](/kjv/revelation/18/21) And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast *it* into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.
 
 [22 ](/kjv/revelation/18/22) And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft *he be*, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee;
 
[Revelation 17](/kjv/revelation/17) [Revelation 19](/kjv/revelation/19)
