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.’
8. Therefore her plagues will come in one day—death and mourning and famine.And she will be utterly burned with fire,for strong is the Lord God who judges her.
9. “The kings of the earth, who have committed adultery and lived luxuriously with her, will weep and mourn over her when they see the smoke of her burning.
10. Standing far off for the fear of her torment, they will say: ‘Alas, alas for that great city,that mighty city, Babylon!In one hour your judgment has come.’
