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 saying,

(A)“Come out of her, my people,
    lest you take part in her sins,
lest you share in her plagues;
for (B)her sins are heaped high as heaven,
    and (C)God has remembered her iniquities.
(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.
(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.’
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.”
