Revelation 18:4-8

New International Reader's Version

“ ‘Come out of her, my people.’ (Jeremiah 51:45)
    Then you will not take part in her sins.
    You will not suffer from any of her plagues.
⁵ Her sins are piled up to heaven.
    God has remembered her crimes.
⁶ Do to her as she has done to others.
    Pay her back double for what she has done.
    Pour her a double dose of what she has poured for others.
⁷ Give her as much pain and suffering
    as the glory and wealth she gave herself.
She brags to herself,
    ‘I rule on a throne like a queen.
I am not a widow.
    I will never mourn.’ (Isaiah 47:7,8)
⁸ But she will be plagued by death, sadness and hunger.
    In a single day she will suffer all these plagues.
She will be burned up by fire.
    That’s because the Lord God who judges her is mighty.
