Revelation 18:1-8

Revelation 18:1-8 CSB

After this I saw another angel with great authority coming down from heaven,  and the earth was illuminated by his splendor. He called out in a mighty voice: It has fallen,  Babylon the Great has fallen!  She has become a home for demons, a haunt for every unclean spirit, a haunt for every unclean bird, and a haunt  for every unclean and despicable beast.  , For all the nations have drunk  the wine of her sexual immorality, which brings wrath.  The kings of the earth have committed sexual immorality with her, and the merchants of the earth have grown wealthy from her sensuality and excess.  Then I heard another voice from heaven: Come out of her, my people, so that you will not share in her sins  or receive any of her plagues. For her sins are piled up  to heaven,  and God has remembered her crimes.  Pay her back the way she also paid,  and double it according to her works.  In the cup in which she mixed,  mix a double portion for her. As much as she glorified herself and indulged her sensual and excessive ways, give her that much torment and grief. For she says in her heart, “I sit as a queen; I am not a widow, and I will never see grief.”  For this reason her plagues will come in just one day — death and grief and famine.  She will be burned up with fire,  because the Lord God who judges   her is mighty.
