“‘Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great!’^[a](A)
    She has become a dwelling for demons
and a haunt for every impure spirit,^(B)
    a haunt for every unclean bird,
    a haunt for every unclean and detestable animal.^(C)
3 For all the nations have drunk
    the maddening wine of her adulteries.^(D)
The kings of the earth committed adultery with her,^(E)
    and the merchants of the earth grew rich^(F) from her excessive luxuries.”^(G)

⁹ Look, here comes a man in a chariot^(A)
    with a team of horses.
And he gives back the answer:
    ‘Babylon^(B) has fallen,^(C) has fallen!
All the images of its gods^(D)
    lie shattered^(E) on the ground!’”

⁸ Babylon will suddenly fall^(A) and be broken.
    Wail over her!
Get balm^(B) for her pain;
    perhaps she can be healed.
