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 any of her plagues; for her sins have [a](B)piled up as high as heaven, and God has (C)remembered her offenses. (D)Pay her back even as she has paid, and [b]give back to her double according to her deeds; in the (E)cup which she has mixed, mix twice as much for her. (F)To the extent that she glorified herself and (G)lived luxuriously, to the same extent 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, [c]plague 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 saying, (A)“Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues. (B)For her sins [a]have reached to heaven, and (C)God has remembered her iniquities. (D)Render to her just as she rendered [b]to you, and repay her double according to her works; (E)in the cup which she has mixed, (F)mix double for her. (G)In the measure that she glorified herself and lived [c]luxuriously, in the same measure give her torment and sorrow; for she says in her heart, ‘I sit as (H)queen, and am no widow, and will not see sorrow.’ Therefore her plagues will come (I)in one day—death and mourning and famine. And (J)she will be utterly burned with fire, (K)for strong is the Lord God who [d]judges her.
