New International Reader's Version

Revelation 18:1-5 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

1. After these things I saw another angel coming down from heaven. He had great authority. His glory filled the earth with light.

2. With a mighty voice he shouted, "Fallen! Babylon the Great has fallen! She has become a place where demons live. She has become a den for every evil spirit. She has become a nest for every 'unclean' and hated bird.

3. All the nations have drunk the strong wine of her terrible sins. The kings of the earth took part in her evil ways. The traders of the world grew rich from her great wealth."

4. Then I heard another voice from heaven. It said, "Come out of her, my people. Then you will not take part in her sins. You will not suffer from any of her plagues.

5. Her sins are piled up to heaven. God has remembered her crimes.
