Revelation 18:2

mightily . . . strong--not supported by manuscripts. But A, B, Vulgate, Syriac, and Coptic read, "with (literally, 'in') a mighty voice."

is fallen, is fallen--so A, Vulgate, Syriac, and ANDREAS. But B and Coptic omit the second "is fallen" (Isaiah 21:9; Jeremiah 51:8). This phrase is here prophetical of her fall, still future, as Revelation 18:4 proves.

devils--Greek, "demons."

the hold--a keep or prison.
