Revelation 18
18After this I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority; and the earth was made bright with his splendor.G2532G3326G5023G1492G243G32G2597G1537G3772G2192G3173G1849G2532G1093G5461G1537G846G13912He called out with a mighty voice, "Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great! It has become a dwelling place of demons, a haunt of every foul and hateful bird, a haunt of every foul and hateful beast.G2532G2896G2479G1722G3173G5456G3004G897G3173G4098G4098G2532G1096G2732G1142G2532G5438G3956G169G4151G2532G5438G3956G169G2532G3404G37323For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have grown rich from the power of her luxury."G3754G3956G1484G4095G1537G3631G2372G846G4202G2532G935G1093G4203G3326G846G2532G1713G1093G4147G1537G1411G846G47644Then I heard another voice from heaven saying, "Come out of her, my people, so that you do not take part in her sins, and so that you do not share in her plagues;G2532G191G243G5456G1537G3772G3004G1831G1537G846G3450G2992G3363G4790G3363G4790G846G266G2532G3363G2983G3363G1537G846G41275for her sins are heaped high as heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities.G3754G846G266G190G2853G891G3772G2532G2316G3421G846G926Render to her as she herself has rendered, and repay her double for her deeds; mix a double draught for her in the cup she mixed.G591G846G2532G5613G846G3778G591G5213G2532G1363G846G1362G2596G846G2041G1722G4221G3739G2767G2767G846G13627As she glorified herself and lived luxuriously, so give her a like measure of torment and grief. Since in her heart she says, 'I rule as a queen; I am no widow, and I will never see grief,'G3745G1392G1438G2532G4763G5118G929G2532G3997G1325G846G3754G3004G1722G846G2588G2521G938G2532G1510G3756G5503G2532G1492G3364G39978therefore her plagues will come in a single day—pestilence and mourning and famine—and she will be burned with fire; for mighty is the Lord God who judges her."G5124G1223G2240G846G4127G2240G1722G3391G2250G2288G2532G3997G2532G3042G2532G2618G1722G4442G3754G2478G2962G2316G3588G2919G8469And the kings of the earth, who committed fornication and lived in luxury with her, will weep and wail over her when they see the smoke of her burning;G2532G935G1093G3588G4203G2532G4763G3326G846G2799G846G2532G2875G1909G846G3752G991G2586G846G445110they will stand far off, in fear of her torment, and say, "Alas, alas, the great city, Babylon, the mighty city! For in one hour your judgment has come."G2476G3113G575G1223G5401G846G929G3004G3759G3759G3173G4172G897G2478G4172G3754G1722G3391G5610G2064G4675G2920G206411And the merchants of the earth weep and mourn for her, since no one buys their cargo anymore,G2532G1713G1093G2799G2532G3996G1909G846G3754G3762G59G846G1117G376512cargo of gold, silver, jewels and pearls, fine linen, purple, silk and scarlet, all kinds of scented wood, all articles of ivory, all articles of costly wood, bronze, iron, and marble,G1117G5557G2532G696G2532G5093G3037G2532G3135G2532G1040G2532G4209G2532G4596G2532G2847G2532G3956G2367G3586G2532G3956G4632G1661G2532G3956G4632G1537G5093G3586G2532G5475G2532G4604G2532G313913cinnamon, spice, incense, myrrh, frankincense, wine, olive oil, choice flour and wheat, cattle and sheep, horses and chariots, slaves—and human lives.G2532G2792G2532G2368G2532G3464G2532G3030G2532G3631G2532G1637G2532G4585G2532G4621G2532G2934G2532G4263G2532G2462G2532G4480G2532G4983G2532G5590G44414"The fruit for which your soul longed has gone from you, and all your dainties and your splendor are lost to you, never to be found again!"G2532G3703G4675G5590G1939G565G575G4675G2532G3956G3588G3045G2532G2986G565G575G4675G2532G2147G846G3765G336415The merchants of these wares, who gained wealth from her, will stand far off, in fear of her torment, weeping and mourning aloud,G1713G5130G3588G4147G575G846G2476G3113G575G1223G5401G846G929G2799G2532G399616"Alas, alas, the great city, clothed in fine linen, in purple and scarlet, adorned with gold, with jewels, and with pearls!G2532G3004G3759G3759G3173G4172G4016G1039G2532G4210G2532G2847G2532G5558G1722G5557G2532G5093G3037G2532G313517For in one hour all this wealth has been laid waste!"
