NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ² He cried out with a strong voice: »Babylon the Great has fallen, she has fallen! She has become the habitation of demons, and a haunt for every unclean spirit. She is a prison for every unclean and hateful bird. ³ »All nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication (immorality). The kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are very rich through the abundance of her luxury.« ⁴ I heard another voice from heaven, say: »Come out of her, my people, that you do not partake of her sins, and that you do not receive her plagues! ⁵ »For her sins have reached up to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities. ⁶ »Render to her even as she rendered to you. Pay back double to her, double according to her works: in the cup that she has filled, fill double for her! ⁷ »To the extent she glorified herself and lived sensuously, to that extent give her much torment and sorrow. She says in her heart: 'I sit a queen, and am no widow, and I shall see no sorrow.' ⁸ »Therefore her plagues (literal and figurative) will overtake her in one day, death and mourning and famine; and she will be utterly burned with fire, for mighty is Jehovah God who judges her. (Jeremiah 50:34; 51:58)
