Revelation 18:3-7
3For all the nations have fallen because of the 1wine of the passion of her sexual immorality, and 2the kings of the earth have committed acts of sexual immorality with her, and the 3merchants of the earth have become rich from the 4excessive wealth of her 56luxury.”
4I heard another voice from heaven, saying, “7Come out of her, my people, so that you will not participate in her sins and receive any of her plagues; 5for her sins have 89piled up as high as heaven, and God has 10remembered her offenses. 611Pay her back even as she has paid, and 12give back to her double according to her deeds; in the 13cup which she has mixed, mix twice as much for her. 714To the extent that she glorified herself and 15lived luxuriously, to the same extent give her torment and mourning; for she says in her heart, ‘16I sit as a queen and I am not a widow, and will never see mourning.’
