I heard another voice from heaven, saying, "^(C1)Come out of her, my people, so that you will not participate in her sins and receive any of her plagues;

for her sins have ^(F1)(C1)piled up as high as heaven, and God has ^(C2)remembered her offenses.

"^(C1)Pay her back even as she has paid, and ^(F1)give back to her double according to her deeds; in the ^(C2)cup which she has mixed, mix twice as much for her.

"^(C1)To the extent that she glorified herself and ^(C2)lived luxuriously, to the same extent give her torment and mourning; for she says in her heart, '^(C3)I sit as a queen and I am not a widow, and will never see mourning.'

"For this reason ^(C1)in one day her plagues will come, ^(F1)plague and mourning and famine, and she will be ^(C2)burned up with fire; for the Lord God who judges her ^(C3)is strong.
