3. For all the nations have drunk the wine of her sexual immorality,which brings wrath. The kings of the earthhave committed sexual immorality with her,and the merchants of the earthhave grown wealthy from her excessive luxury.
4. Then I heard another voice from heaven:Come out of her, My people,so that you will not share in her sins or receive any of her plagues.
5. For her sins are piled up to heaven, and God has remembered her crimes.
6. Pay her back the way she also paid, and double it according to her works. In the cup in which she mixed, mix a double portion for her.
7. As much as she glorified herself and lived luxuriously,give her that much torment and grief,for she says in her heart,“I sit as a queen;I am not a widow,and I will never see grief.”
8. For this reason her plagues will come in one day —death and grief and famine. She will be burned up with fire, because the Lord God who judges her is mighty.
