New International Version
Revelation 18:3-9
New International Version
3 For all the nations have drunk
the maddening wine of her adulteries.(A)
The kings of the earth committed adultery with her,(B)
and the merchants of the earth grew rich(C) from her excessive luxuries.”(D)
Warning to Escape Babylon’s Judgment
4 Then I heard another voice from heaven say:
“‘Come out of her, my people,’[a](E)
so that you will not share in her sins,
so that you will not receive any of her plagues;(F)
5 for her sins are piled up to heaven,(G)
and God has remembered(H) her crimes.
6 Give back to her as she has given;
pay her back(I) double(J) for what she has done.
Pour her a double portion from her own cup.(K)
7 Give her as much torment and grief
as the glory and luxury she gave herself.(L)
In her heart she boasts,
‘I sit enthroned as queen.
I am not a widow;[b]
I will never mourn.’(M)
8 Therefore in one day(N) her plagues will overtake her:
death, mourning and famine.
She will be consumed by fire,(O)
for mighty is the Lord God who judges her.
Threefold Woe Over Babylon’s Fall
9 “When the kings of the earth who committed adultery with her(P) and shared her luxury(Q) see the smoke of her burning,(R) they will weep and mourn over her.(S)

Revelation 18:3-9
King James Version
3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.
6 Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.
7 How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
8 Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.
9 And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,
