¹⁵ And the ^(A)kings of the earth, the great men, ^[a]the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, ^(B)hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, ^16 (C)and said to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who ^(D)sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! ¹⁷ For the great day of His wrath has come, ^(E)and who is able to stand?”

⁸ And another angel followed, saying, ^(A)“Babylon^[a] is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because ^(B)she has made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.”

⁹ Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, ^(C)“If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his ^(D)mark on his forehead or on his hand, ¹⁰ he himself ^(E)shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is ^(F)poured out full strength into ^(G)the cup of His indignation. ^(H)He shall be tormented with ^(I)fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb.
