2 And he cried [a]mightily with a loud voice, saying, (A)“Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and (B)has become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for every foul spirit, and (C)a cage for every unclean and hated bird! 3 For all the nations (D)have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, (E)and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the [b]abundance of her luxury.”
4 And I heard another voice from heaven saying, (F)“Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues. 5 (G)For her sins [c]have reached to heaven, and (H)God has remembered her iniquities. 6 (I)Render to her just as she rendered [d]to you, and repay her double according to her works; (J)in the cup which she has mixed, (K)mix double for her. 7 (L)In the measure that she glorified herself and lived [e]luxuriously, in the same measure give her torment and sorrow; for she says in her heart, ‘I sit as (M)queen, and am no widow, and will not see sorrow.’ 8 Therefore her plagues will come (N)in one day—death and mourning and famine.

2 With a mighty voice he shouted:
“‘Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great!’[a](A)
She has become a dwelling for demons
and a haunt for every impure spirit,(B)
a haunt for every unclean bird,
a haunt for every unclean and detestable animal.(C)
3 For all the nations have drunk
the maddening wine of her adulteries.(D)
The kings of the earth committed adultery with her,(E)
and the merchants of the earth grew rich(F) from her excessive luxuries.”(G)
Warning to Escape Babylon’s Judgment
4 Then I heard another voice from heaven say:
“‘Come out of her, my people,’[b](H)
so that you will not share in her sins,
so that you will not receive any of her plagues;(I)
5 for her sins are piled up to heaven,(J)
and God has remembered(K) her crimes.
6 Give back to her as she has given;
pay her back(L) double(M) for what she has done.
Pour her a double portion from her own cup.(N)
7 Give her as much torment and grief
as the glory and luxury she gave herself.(O)
In her heart she boasts,
‘I sit enthroned as queen.
I am not a widow;[c]
I will never mourn.’(P)
8 Therefore in one day(Q) her plagues will overtake her:
death, mourning and famine.
She will be consumed by fire,(R)
for mighty is the Lord God who judges her.
