Revelation 18:3-7
3For all the nations 1have drunk of the 2wine of the 3passion of her immorality, and 4the kings of the earth have committed acts of immorality with her, and the 5merchants of the earth have become rich by the 6wealth of her 78sensuality.”
4I heard another voice from heaven, saying, “9Come out of her, my people, so that you will not participate in her sins and receive of her plagues; 5for her sins have 1011piled up as high as heaven, and God has 12remembered her iniquities. 613Pay her back even as she has paid, and 14give back to her double according to her deeds; in the 15cup which she has mixed, mix twice as much for her. 716To the degree that she glorified herself and 17lived 18sensuously, to the same degree give her torment and mourning; for she says in her heart, ‘19I sit as a queen and I am not a widow, and will never see mourning.’
