Revelation

Revelation 18:7–11

⁷As much as she has glorified herself and lived in luxury,

give her the same measure of torment and grief.

In her heart she says, ‘I sit as queen;

I am not a widow and will never see grief.’

⁸Therefore her plagues will come in one day —

death and grief and famine —

and she will be consumed by fire,

for mighty is the Lord God who judges her.”

⁹Then the kings of the earth who committed sexual immorality and lived in luxury with her will weep and wail at the sight of the smoke rising from the fire that consumes her.^e ¹⁰In fear of her torment, they will stand at a distance and cry out:

“Woe, woe to the great city,

the mighty city of Babylon!

For in a single hour

your judgment has come.”

¹¹And the merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her, because there is no one left to buy their cargo —
