Revelation 18:7-11

English Standard Version

⁷^(A)As she glorified herself and lived in luxury,
    so give her a like measure of torment and mourning,
since in her heart she says,
    ^(B)‘I sit as a queen,
I am no widow,
    and mourning I shall never see.’
⁸For this reason her plagues will come ^(C)in a single day,
    death and mourning and famine,
and ^(D)she will be burned up with fire;
    for ^(E)mighty is the Lord God who has judged her.”

⁹And ^(F)the kings of the earth, who committed sexual immorality and lived in luxury with her, ^(G)will weep and wail over her ^(H)when they see the smoke of her burning. ¹⁰^(I)They will stand far off, in fear of her torment, and say,

“Alas! Alas! ^(J)You great city,
you mighty city, Babylon!
For ^(K)in a single hour your judgment has come.”

¹¹And ^(L)the merchants of the earth weep and mourn for her, since no one buys their cargo anymore,
