21 Alors un ange puissant prit une pierre semblable à une grande meule, et il la jeta dans la mer, en disant: Ainsi sera précipitée avec violence Babylone, la grande ville, et elle ne sera plus trouvée.

22 Et l’on n’entendra plus chez toi les sons des joueurs de harpe, des musiciens, des joueurs de flûte et des joueurs de trompette, on ne trouvera plus chez toi aucun artisan d’un métier quelconque, on n’entendra plus chez toi le bruit de la meule,

23 la lumière de la lampe ne brillera plus chez toi, et la voix de l’époux et de l’épouse ne sera plus entendue chez toi, parce que tes marchands étaient les grands de la terre, parce que toutes les nations ont été séduites par tes enchantements,

24 et parce qu’on a trouvé chez elle le sang des prophètes et des saints et de tous ceux qui ont été égorgés sur la terre.
