1 After this I heard what sounded like the noise of an enormous crowd in heaven, shouting, "Hallelujah! Salvation, glory, and power describe our God, 2 because his judgments are true and right, for he has condemned the infamous prostitute who corrupted the earth with her immorality, and has brought her to justice for her murders of his servants."* 3 Again they shouted, "Hallelujah! The smoke from her destruction ascends for ever and ever."
