Revelation 18:2–3

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 drunkc 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.”
