With a mighty voice he shouted:

“‘Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great!’[a](A)
    She has become a dwelling for demons
and a haunt for every impure spirit,(B)
    a haunt for every unclean bird,
    a haunt for every unclean and detestable animal.(C)
For all the nations have drunk
    the maddening wine of her adulteries.(D)
The kings of the earth committed adultery with her,(E)
    and the merchants of the earth grew rich(F) from her excessive luxuries.”(G)

Warning to Escape Babylon’s Judgment

Then I heard another voice from heaven say:

“‘Come out of her, my people,’[b](H)
    so that you will not share in her sins,
    so that you will not receive any of her plagues;(I)
for her sins are piled up to heaven,(J)
    and God has remembered(K) her crimes.
Give back to her as she has given;
    pay her back(L) double(M) for what she has done.
    Pour her a double portion from her own cup.(N)
