Fasting that Pleases God

⁴ And I heard another voice from heaven saying, ^(A)“Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues. ^5 (B)For her sins ^[a]have reached to heaven, and ^(C)God has remembered her iniquities. ^6 (D)Render to her just as she rendered ^[b]to you, and repay her double according to her works; ^(E)in the cup which she has mixed, ^(F)mix double for her. ^7 (G)In the measure that she glorified herself and lived ^[c]luxuriously, in the same measure give her torment and sorrow; for she says in her heart, ‘I sit as ^(H)queen, and am no widow, and will not see sorrow.’ ⁸ Therefore her plagues will come ^(I)in one day—death and mourning and famine. And ^(J)she will be utterly burned with fire, ^(K)for strong is the Lord God who ^[d]judges her.

The Proclamations of Three Angels

⁶ Then I saw another angel ^(A)flying in the midst of heaven, ^(B)having the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth—^(C)to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people— ⁷ saying with a loud voice, ^(D)“Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come; ^(E)and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water.”

⁸ And another angel followed, saying, ^(F)“Babylon^[a] is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because ^(G)she has made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.”

⁹ Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, ^(H)“If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his ^(I)mark on his forehead or on his hand, ¹⁰ he himself ^(J)shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is ^(K)poured out full strength into ^(L)the cup of His indignation. ^(M)He shall be tormented with ^(N)fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. ¹¹ And ^(O)the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.”
