2 He cried out in a loud voice: “She has fallen! Great Babylon has fallen! She is now haunted by demons and unclean spirits; all kinds of filthy and hateful birds live in her.
3 For all the nations have drunk her wine—the strong wine of her immoral lust. The kings of the earth practiced sexual immorality with her, and the merchants of the world grew rich from her unrestrained lust.”
4 Then I heard another voice from heaven, saying,“Come out, my people! Come out from her!You must not take part in her sins;you must not share in her punishment!
5 For her sins are piled up as high as heaven,and God remembers her wicked ways.
6 Treat her exactly as she has treated you;pay her back double for all she has done.Fill her cup with a drink twice as strongas the drink she prepared for you.
7 Give her as much suffering and griefas the glory and luxury she gave herself.For she keeps telling herself:‘Here I sit, a queen!I am no widow,I will never know grief’
8 Because of this, in one day she will be struck with plagues—disease, grief, and famine.And she will be burned with fire,because the Lord God, who judges her, is mighty.”
