1. After these things, I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was illuminated by his glory.
2. He cried out with a mighty voice, saying: “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great! She has become a den for demons, a haunt for every unclean spirit and for every unclean bird and for every unclean and detestable beast.
3. For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the fury of her immorality. The kings of the earth have committed sexual immorality with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich off the power of her self-indulgence.”
4. Then I heard another voice from heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people, lest you participate in her sins and receive her plagues!
5. For her sins have piled up to heaven, and God has remembered her crimes.
6. Pay her back just as she has paid out, and give her back double for her deeds! In the cup she has mixed— mix a double dose for her!
7. As she has exalted herself and indulged herself in luxury, so give her the same measure of torment and grief! For in her heart she says, ‘I sit as a queen— I am no widow; I shall never see grief.’
