The Fall of Babylon the Great

1 Aftera these things I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, band the earth was illuminated with his glory.  
2 And he cried1 mightily with a loud voice, saying, a“Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and bhas become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for every foul spirit, and ca cage for every unclean and hated bird!  
3 For all the nations ahave drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, band the merchants of the earth have become rich through the1 abundance of her luxury.”  
4 And I heard another voice from heaven saying, a“Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues.  
5 aFor her sins have reached to heaven, and bGod has remembered her iniquities.  
6 aRender to her just as she rendered1 to you, and repay her double according to her works; bin the cup which she has mixed, cmix double for her.  
7 aIn the measure that she glorified herself and lived1 luxuriously, in the same measure give her torment and sorrow; for she says in her heart, ‘I sit as bqueen, and am no widow, and will not see sorrow.’  
8 Therefore her plagues will come ain one day—death and mourning and famine. And bshe will be utterly burned with fire, cfor strong is the Lord God who1 judges her.  

The World Mourns Babylon’s Fall

9 a“The kings of the earth who committed fornication and lived luxuriously with her bwill weep and lament for her, cwhen they see the smoke of her burning,  
10 standing at a distance for fear of her torment, saying, a‘Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! bFor in one hour your judgment has come.’
