Revelation 18:4-8
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.”
Revelation 18:4-8
International Standard Version
The Warning to Leave Babylon
4 Then I heard another voice from heaven saying,
“Come out of her, my people,
so that you don’t participate in her sins
and also suffer from her diseases.
5 For her sins are piled as high as heaven,
and God has remembered her crimes.
6 Do to her as she herself has done,
and give her double for her deeds.
Mix a double drink for her in the cup she mixed.
7 Just as she glorified herself and lived in luxury,
inflict on her just as much torture and misery.
In her heart she says,
‘I am a queen on a throne, not a widow.
I will never see misery.’
8 For this reason, her diseases that result in death, misery, and famine
will come in a single day.
She will be burned up in a fire,
because powerful is the Lord God who judges her.”
