The Vision of the Fall of Babylon

18 After these things, I saw another angel coming down from heaven. He had great authority,[a] and the earth was made bright by his splendor. He cried out in a powerful voice,

“Fallen! Babylon the Great has fallen!
    She has become a home for demons.
She is a prison for every unclean spirit,
    a prison for every unclean bird,
    and a prison for every unclean
        and hated beast.
For all the nations have drunk
    from the wine of her sexual immorality,
and the kings of the earth have committed sexual immorality with her.
The world’s businesses have become rich
    from her luxurious excesses.”
