Revelation 18:4

2 And he cried out in a mighty voice: “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great! She has become a lair for demons and a haunt for every unclean spirit, every unclean bird, and every detestable beast.

3 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.”

Then I heard another voice from heaven say: “Come out of her, My people, so that you will not share in her sins or contract any of her plagues.

5 For her sins are piled up to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities.

6 Give back to her as she has done to others; pay her back double for what she has done; mix her a double portion in her own cup.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
