Revelation 14:6-8
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
6 Then I saw another angel flying high overhead, with everlasting good news[a] to announce to those who dwell on earth, to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people. 7 He said in a loud voice, “Fear God and give him glory, for his time has come to sit in judgment. Worship him who made heaven and earth and sea and springs of water.”(A)
8 A second angel followed, saying:
“Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great,(B)
that made all the nations drink
the wine of her licentious passion.”[b]
