Revelation 18:4-8
New International Version
Warning to Escape Babylon’s Judgment
4 Then I heard another voice from heaven say:
“‘Come out of her, my people,’[a](A)
so that you will not share in her sins,
so that you will not receive any of her plagues;(B)
5 for her sins are piled up to heaven,(C)
and God has remembered(D) her crimes.
6 Give back to her as she has given;
pay her back(E) double(F) for what she has done.
Pour her a double portion from her own cup.(G)
7 Give her as much torment and grief
as the glory and luxury she gave herself.(H)
In her heart she boasts,
‘I sit enthroned as queen.
I am not a widow;[b]
I will never mourn.’(I)
8 Therefore in one day(J) her plagues will overtake her:
death, mourning and famine.
She will be consumed by fire,(K)
for mighty is the Lord God who judges her.

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
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,(A)
5 for her sins are heaped high as heaven,
and God has remembered her iniquities.(B)
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.(C)
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,’(D)
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.”(E)
