^(A)“Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great!
    She has become ^(B)a dwelling place for demons,
a haunt ^(C)for every unclean spirit,
    a haunt ^(D)for every unclean bird,
    a haunt for every unclean and detestable beast.

⁹ And behold, here come riders,
    horsemen in pairs!”
^(A)And he answered,
    ^(B)“Fallen, fallen is Babylon;
^(C)and all the carved images of her gods
    he has shattered to the ground.”

^8 (A)Suddenly Babylon has fallen and been broken;
    ^(B)wail for her!
^(C)Take balm for her pain;
    perhaps she may be healed.
