New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
5 The beast was given a mouth speaking arrogant and blasphemous words, and it was allowed to exercise authority for forty-two months.(A) 6 It opened its mouth to speak blasphemies against God, blaspheming his name and his dwelling, that is, those who dwell in heaven. 7 Also, it was allowed to wage war on the saints and to conquer them.[a] It was given authority over every tribe and people and language and nation,(B) 8 and all the inhabitants of the earth will worship it, everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb that was slaughtered.[b](C)
9 Let anyone who has an ear listen:
10 If you are to be taken captive,
into captivity you go;
if you kill with the sword,
with the sword you must be killed.
Here is a call for the endurance and faith of the saints.(D)

Revelation 18:2-8
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
Revelation 18:2-8
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
2 He called out with a mighty voice,
“Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great!
It has become a dwelling place of demons,
a haunt of every foul spirit,
a haunt of every foul bird,
a haunt of every foul and hateful beast.[a](A)
3 For all the nations have fallen[b]
from the wine of the wrath of her prostitution,
and the kings of the earth have engaged in sexual immorality[c] with her,
and the merchants of the earth have grown rich from the power[d] of her luxury.”(B)
4 Then I heard another voice from heaven saying,
“Come out of her, my people,
so that you do not take part in her sins
and so that you do not share in her plagues,(C)
5 for her sins are heaped high as heaven,
and God has remembered her iniquities.(D)
6 Render to her as she herself has rendered,
and repay her double for her deeds;
mix a double dose for her in the cup she mixed.(E)
7 As she glorified herself and lived luxuriously,
so give her a like measure of torment and grief.
Since in her heart she says,
‘I rule as a queen;
I am no widow,
and I will never see grief,’(F)
8 therefore her plagues will come in a single day—
pestilence and mourning and famine—
and she will be burned with fire,
for mighty is the Lord God who judges her.”(G)

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.

17 Then another angel came out of the temple in heaven, and he, too, had a sharp sickle. 18 Then another angel came out from the altar, the angel who has authority over fire, and he called with a loud voice to him who had the sharp sickle, “Use your sharp sickle and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, for its grapes are ripe.”(B) 19 So the angel swung his sickle over the earth and gathered the vintage of the earth, and he threw it into the great winepress of the wrath of God. 20 And the winepress was trodden outside the city, and blood flowed from the winepress, as high as a horse’s bridle, for a distance of about one thousand six hundred stadia.(C)
