Revelation 18:4-10
English Standard Version
4 Then I heard another voice from heaven saying,
(A)“Come out of her, my people,
lest you take part in her sins,
lest you share in her plagues;
5 for (B)her sins are heaped high as heaven,
and (C)God has remembered her iniquities.
6 (D)Pay her back as she herself has paid back others,
and repay her (E)double for her deeds;
mix a double portion for her (F)in the cup she mixed.
7 (G)As she glorified herself and lived in luxury,
so give her a like measure of torment and mourning,
since in her heart she says,
(H)‘I sit as a queen,
I am no widow,
and mourning I shall never see.’
8 For this reason her plagues will come (I)in a single day,
death and mourning and famine,
and (J)she will be burned up with fire;
for (K)mighty is the Lord God who has judged her.”
9 And (L)the kings of the earth, who committed sexual immorality and lived in luxury with her, (M)will weep and wail over her (N)when they see the smoke of her burning. 10 (O)They will stand far off, in fear of her torment, and say,
“Alas! Alas! (P)You great city,
you mighty city, Babylon!
For (Q)in a single hour your judgment has come.”
