Revelation 18:3-5

New Living Translation

³For all the nations have fallen^[a]
    because of the wine of her passionate immorality.
The kings of the world
    have committed adultery with her.
Because of her desires for extravagant luxury,
    the merchants of the world have grown rich.”

⁴Then I heard another voice calling from heaven,

“Come away from her, my people.
    Do not take part in her sins,
    or you will be punished with her.
⁵For her sins are piled as high as heaven,
    and God remembers her evil deeds.
