| 3 | For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. | All the nations have drunk 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.” | For by the wine of the wrath of her fornication all the nations are fallen; and the kings of the earth committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth waxed rich by the power of her wantonness. |
In context
AI-assisted, sourcedRevelation 18:1-8Babylon is fallen
About Revelation 18An angel cries, "Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen," and a voice says, "Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues," for she boasted, "I sit a queen," and so "shall her plagues come in one day." Kings, merchants and seamen weep, "Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come," while heaven and the "holy apostles and prophets" are told to rejoice. A mighty angel casts a stone like a millstone into the sea, saying, "Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down," for "in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints."
