Revelation

Revelation 18:1–3

¹After this I saw another angel descending from heaven with great authority, and the earth was illuminated by his glory. ²And he cried out in a mighty voice:

“Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great!^a

She has become a lair for demons

and a haunt for every unclean spirit,

every unclean bird,

and every detestable beast.^b

³All the nations have drunk^c the wine

of the passion of her immorality.

The kings of the earth were immoral with her,

and the merchants of the earth have grown wealthy

from the extravagance of her luxury.”
