1 After this I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was illuminated with his glory.
2 He cried out mightily with a loud voice, saying: “ ‘Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great!’She has become a dwelling place of demons,a haunt for every unclean spirit,and a haunt for every unclean and hateful bird.
3 For all the nations have drunkof the wine of the wrath of her sexual immorality,the kings of the earth have committed adultery with her,and the merchants of the earth have become rich through theabundance of her luxury.”
4 Then I heard another voice from heaven saying: “ ‘Come out of her, my people,’lest you partake in her sins,and lest you receive her plagues.
5 For her sins have reached up to heaven,and God has remembered her iniquities.
6 Render to her as she has rendered to you,and repay her double for her deeds;in the cup which she has mixed, mix a double portion for her.
7 To the extent that she glorified herself and lived luxuriously,so give her torment and sorrow;for in her heart she says,‘I sit as a queen, and am no widow,and will see no sorrow.’
