And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, “(A)Come out of her, my people, so that you will not participate in her sins and receive of her plagues; for her sins have [a](B)piled up as high as heaven, and God has (C)remembered her iniquities. (D)Pay her back even as she paid, and [b]give her back double according to her deeds; in the (E)cup which she has mixed, mix double for her. (F)To the degree that she glorified herself and (G)lived [c]sensuously, to the same degree give her torment and mourning, for she says in her heart, ‘(H)I sit as a queen and I am not a widow, and will never see mourning.’ For this reason (I)in one day her plagues will come, [d]pestilence and mourning and famine, and she will be (J)burned up with fire; for the Lord God who judges her (K)is strong.

She will be consumed by fire because the Lord God who judges her is powerful.
