Revelation 18:1-8

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

“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](B)
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.”^(C)

“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,^(D)
5 for her sins are heaped high as heaven,
    and God has remembered her iniquities.^(E)
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.^(F)
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,’^(G)
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.”^(H)
