Revelation 17:18-18:3
New International Version
18 The woman you saw is the great city(A) that rules over the kings of the earth.”
Lament Over Fallen Babylon
18 After this I saw another angel(B) coming down from heaven.(C) He had great authority, and the earth was illuminated by his splendor.(D) 2 With a mighty voice he shouted:
“‘Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great!’[a](E)
She has become a dwelling for demons
and a haunt for every impure spirit,(F)
a haunt for every unclean bird,
a haunt for every unclean and detestable animal.(G)
3 For all the nations have drunk
the maddening wine of her adulteries.(H)
The kings of the earth committed adultery with her,(I)
and the merchants of the earth grew rich(J) from her excessive luxuries.”(K)
