Revelation 18:1-9
1AfterG3326 thisG3778 I sawG3708 anotherG243 angelG32 descendingG2597 fromG1537 heavenG3772 withG2192 greatG3173 authorityG1849, andG2532 theG3588 earthG1093 was illuminatedG5461 byG1537 hisG846 gloryG1391. 2AndG2532 he cried outG2896 inG1722 a mightyG2478 voiceG5456:
“FallenG4098, fallen isG4098 BabylonG897 theG3588 greatG3173!1She has becomeG1096 a lairG2732 for demonsG1140andG2532 a hauntG5438 for everyG3956 uncleanG169 spiritG4151,everyG3956 uncleanG169 birdG3732,andG2532 everyG3956 detestableG3404 beastG2342.23AllG3956 theG3588 nationsG1484 have drunkG40953 theG3588 wineG3631of theG3588 passionG2372 ofG3588 herG846 immoralityG4202.TheG3588 kingsG935 of theG3588 earthG1093 were immoralG4203 withG3326 herG846,andG2532 theG3588 merchantsG1713 of theG3588 earthG1093 have grown wealthyG4147fromG1537 theG3588 extravaganceG1411 ofG3588 herG846 luxuryG4764.”
4ThenG2532 I heardG191 anotherG243 voiceG5456 fromG1537 heavenG3772 sayG3004:
“ComeG1831 out ofG1537 herG846, MyG1473 peopleG2992,4so thatG2443 you will not shareG3361G4790 inG3588 herG846 sinsG266or contractG3361G2983 any ofG1537 herG846 plaguesG4127.5ForG3754 herG846 sinsG266 are piledG2853 up toG891 heavenG3772,andG2532 GodG2316 has rememberedG3421 herG846 iniquitiesG92.6Give backG591 to herG846 asG5613 sheG846 has doneG591 to others;pay her backG1363G3588 doubleG1362 for whatG2596 sheG846 has doneG2041;mixG2767 herG846 a doubleG1362 portion inG1722 her own cupG4221.7As much asG3745 she has glorifiedG1392 herselfG848 andG2532 lived in luxuryG4763,giveG1325 herG846 the same measureG5118 of tormentG929 andG2532 griefG3997.InG1722 herG846 heartG2588 she saysG3004, ‘I sitG2521 as queenG938;I amG1510 notG3756 a widowG5503 andG2532 will neverG3756G3361 seeG3708 griefG3997.’8ThereforeG1223G3778 herG846 plaguesG4127 will comeG2240 inG1722 oneG1520 dayG2250—deathG2288 andG2532 griefG3997 andG2532 famineG3042—andG2532 she will be consumedG2618 byG1722 fireG4442,forG3754 mightyG2478 is the LordG2962 GodG2316 whoG3588 judgesG2919 herG846.”
9ThenG2532 theG3588 kingsG935 of theG3588 earthG1093 whoG3588 committed sexual immoralityG4203 andG2532 lived in luxuryG4763 withG3326 herG846 will weepG2799 andG2532 wailG2875 atG1909 the sight ofG3752G991 theG3588 smokeG2586 rising fromG3588 the fire that consumesG4451 herG846.5
