And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that you may not partake of her sins, and receive of her plagues; for her sins have reached to heaven and God has remembered her wickedness. Render to her as she rendered to you, and repay her double according to her works; of the cup that she has mixed, mix to her double; as much as she glorified herself, and lived luxuriously, so much distress and sorrow give her. For she says in her mind, I sit a queen and am not a widow and I see not sorrow. Therefore in one day shall her plagues come, death and sorrow and famine, and she shall be burnt with fire; for mighty is the Lord God who has judged her. And the kings of the earth who committed fornication and lived luxuriously with her shall weep and lament for her, when they see the smoke of her burning, standing at a distance on account of fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, the great city, Babylon the mighty city, for in one hour your judgment has come.
