View Full Chapter

3For all the nations have drunk the maddening wine of her adulteries. The kings of the earth committed adultery with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from her excessive luxuries.”

Warning to Escape Babylon’s Judgment 4Then I heard another voice from heaven say: “ ‘Come out of her, my people,’ Jer. 51:45 so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues;

5for her sins are piled up to heaven, and God has remembered her crimes.

6Give back to her as she has given; pay her back double for what she has done. Pour her a double portion from her own cup.

7Give her as much torment and grief as the glory and luxury she gave herself. In her heart she boasts, ‘I sit enthroned as queen. I am not a widow; See Isaiah 47:7,8. I will never mourn.’

8Therefore in one day her plagues will overtake her: death, mourning and famine. She will be consumed by fire, for mighty is the Lord God who judges her.
