1 After this I saw another angel coming down from heaven. He had great authority, and the earth was illuminated by his splendor.
2 With a mighty voice he shouted:"'Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great!' She has become a dwelling for demonsand a haunt for every impure spirit,a haunt for every unclean bird,a haunt for every unclean and detestable animal.
3 For all the nations have drunkthe maddening wine of her adulteries.The kings of the earth committed adultery with her,and the merchants of the earth grew rich from her excessive luxuries."
4 Then I heard another voice from heaven say:"'Come out of her, my people,' so that you will not share in her sins,so that you will not receive any of her plagues;
5 for her sins are piled up to heaven,and God has remembered her crimes.
6 Give back to her as she has given;pay her back double for what she has done.Pour her a double portion from her own cup.
7 Give her as much torment and griefas the glory and luxury she gave herself.In her heart she boasts,'I sit enthroned as queen.I am not a widow; I will never mourn.'
