Revelation 18:2-8
2And he criedG2896 outG2896 with a mightyG2478 voiceG5456, sayingG3004, “12FallenG4098, fallenG4098 is BabylonG897 the greatG3173! She 3has becomeG1096 a dwellingG2732 placeG2732 of demonsG1140 and a 4prisonG5438 of everyG3956 5uncleanG169 spiritG4151, and a 6prisonG5438 of everyG3956 uncleanG169 and hatefulG3404 birdG3732. 3For allG3956 the nationsG1484 have fallenG4098 becauseG1537 ofG1537 the 7wineG3631 of the passionG2372 of her sexualG4202 immoralityG4202, and 8the kingsG935 of the earthG1093 have committedG4203 acts of sexualG4203 immoralityG4203 with her, and the 9merchantsG1713 of the earthG1093 have becomeG4147 richG4147 from the 10excessiveG1411 wealthG1411 of her 1112luxuryG4764.”
4I heardG191 anotherG243 voiceG5456 from heavenG3772, sayingG3004, “13ComeG1831 outG1831 of her, my peopleG2992, soG2443 thatG2443 you will not participateG4790 in her sinsG266 and receiveG2983 any of her plaguesG4127; 5for her sinsG266 have 1415piledG2853 upG2853 as highG891 as heavenG3772, and GodG2316 has 16rememberedG3421 her offensesG92. 617PayG591 her backG591 evenG2532 as she has paidG591, and 18giveG1363 backG1363 to her doubleG1363G1362 accordingG2596 to her deedsG2041; in the 19cupG4221 whichG3739 she has mixedG2767, mixG2767 twiceG1362 asG1362 muchG1362 for her. 720To the extentG3745 that she glorifiedG1392 herselfG846 and 21livedG4763 luxuriouslyG4763, to the sameG5118 extentG5118 giveG1325 her tormentG929 and mourningG3997; for she saysG3004 in her heartG2588, ‘22I sitG2521 as a queenG938 and I amG1510 not a widowG5503, and will neverG3756 seeG3708 mourningG3997.’ 8For thisG3778 reasonG1223 23in oneG1520 dayG2250 her plaguesG4127 will comeG2240, 24plagueG2288 and mourningG3997 and famineG3042, and she will be 25burnedG2618 upG2618 with fireG4442; for the LordG2962 GodG2316 who judgesG2919 her 26is strongG2478.
