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.

Then I heard another voice from heaven:

Come out of her, my people,
so that you will not share in her sins(A)
or receive any of her plagues.
For her sins are piled up[a] to heaven,(B)
and God has remembered her crimes.(C)
Pay her back the way she also paid,(D)
and double it according to her works.(E)
In the cup in which she mixed,(F)
mix a double portion for her.
As much as she glorified herself and indulged her sensual and excessive ways,
give her that much torment and grief.
For she says in her heart,
“I sit as a queen;
I am not a widow,
and I will never see grief.”(G)
For this reason her plagues will come in just one day—
death and grief and famine.(H)
She will be burned up with fire,(I)
because the Lord God who judges(J) her is mighty.(K)
