Babylon Has Fallen

18 After these things I saw another angel coming down out of heaven. He had great authority, and the earth was given light by his glory. He called out with a loud voice, saying:

Fallen, fallen, is Babylon the Great.
She has become a dwelling place for demons,
    and a prison for every unclean spirit,
    and a prison for every unclean bird,[a]
    and a prison for every unclean and hated beast.

    and the kings of the earth committed adultery with her,
    and the merchants of the earth became rich from the abundance of her luxury.
