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.

And I heard another voice from heaven say:

Come out of her, my people,
    so that you will not share in her sins,
    and so that you will not receive any of her plagues,
because her sins have reached heaven
    and God has remembered her crimes.
Pay her back even as she has paid.
Pay her back double for what she has done.
In the cup that she mixed, mix her a double portion.
As much glory and luxury as she gave herself,
give that much torture and grief to her,
    because in her heart she says:
            I sit as a queen,
            I am not a widow, and
            I will never mourn.
For this reason her plagues will come on a single day:
death, mourning, and famine,
and she will be burned in fire,
    because the Lord God, who judges her, is powerful.
