Then kai I heard akouō another allos voice phōnē from ek · ho heaven ouranos saying legō, “ Come exerchomai out of ek her autos, · ho my egō people laos, lest hina mē you share synkoinōneō in ho her autos sins hamartia, and kai lest hina you receive lambanō · ho her autos plagues plēgē; for hoti her autos sins hamartia are heaped up kollaō · ho as high as achri · ho heaven ouranos, and kai God theos has remembered mnēmoneuō · ho · ho her autos crimes adikēma. Pay apodidōmi her autos back as hōs · kai she herself autos has paid apodidōmi back others, and kai repay diploō her · ho double diplous according to kata · ho her autos works ergon; in en the ho cup potērion that hos she mixed kerannymi, mix kerannymi a double draught diplous for her autos. As hosos she exalted doxazō herself autos and kai lived in luxury strēniaō, give didōmi her autos an equal measure tosoutos of torment basanismos and kai mourning penthos; because hoti in en · ho her autos heart kardia she said legō, ‘ I sit kathēmai as a queen basilissa, · kai I am eimi no ou widow chēra, and kai mourning penthos I will never ou mē see.’ Therefore dia houtos her autos plagues plēgē will come hēkō in en a single heis day hēmera · ho death thanatos and kai mourning penthos and kai famine limos.

Then I heard another voice calling from heaven,

“Come away from her, my people.
    Do not take part in her sins,
    or you will be punished with her.
For her sins are piled as high as heaven,
    and God remembers her evil deeds.
Do to her as she has done to others.
    Double her penalty[a] for all her evil deeds.
She brewed a cup of terror for others,
    so brew twice as much[b] for her.
She glorified herself and lived in luxury,
    so match it now with torment and sorrow.
She boasted in her heart,
    ‘I am queen on my throne.
I am no helpless widow,
    and I have no reason to mourn.’
Therefore, these plagues will overtake her in a single day—
    death and mourning and famine.
She will be completely consumed by fire,
    for the Lord God who judges her is mighty.”
