Revelation 18:5-10

Goodspeed(i) 5 For her sins are piled up to the sky, and God has remembered her crimes. 6 Pay her back in her own coin, and give her double for what she has done. In the cup she mixed for others, mix her a double draught. 7 The more she has given herself to pride and luxury the more you must give her torture and grief. Because she says to herself, 'I sit on a throne; I am not a widow, I shall never have any sorrow,' 8 her plagues will overtake her in one day, death, grief, and famine, and she will be burned up with fire; for the Lord God who has judged her is mighty. 9 The kings of the earth who have joined in her idolatry and luxury will weep and lament over her when they see the smoke from her burning. 10 They will stand a long way off for fear of her torture and say, 'Alas! Alas for the great city, for Babylon the mighty city, for in a single hour your judgment has overtaken you!'
