And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.

Verse 8 is found in chapter 14 of Revelation. A second angel announces the fall of Babylon, presented as the great city that has made the nations drink the wine of the wrath of her fornication. Babylon has not yet been fully described, but this proclamation anticipates chapters 17 and 18. The image of prostitution represents unfaithfulness and seduction through power, wealth, and idolatrous worship. Her fall constitutes an inversion of the apparent stability of the system dominating the nations.

Und ein anderer Engel folgte nach, der sprach: Sie ist gefallen, sie ist gefallen, Babylon, die große Stadt; denn sie hat mit dem Wein der Hurerei getränkt alle Heiden.
Y otro ángel le siguió, diciendo: Ha caído, ha caído Babilonia, aquella grande ciudad, porque ella ha dado a beber a todas las naciones del vino del furor de su fornicación.
Lo siguió otro ángel, el segundo, que decía: «¡Cayó, cayó Babilonia la grande, la que hizo beber a todas las naciones el vino de la pasión de su inmoralidad sexual!».
Et un autre, un second ange suivit, en disant: Elle est tombée, elle est tombée, Babylone la grande, qui a abreuvé toutes les nations du vin de la fureur de son impudicité!
Poi seguì un altro angelo, dicendo: Caduta, caduta, è Babilonia, la gran città; perciocchè ella ha dato a bere a tutte le nazioni del vino dell’ira della sua fornicazione.
E outro anjo seguiu, dizendo: Caiu, caiu Babilônia, aquela grande cidade, que a todas as nações deu a beber do vinho da ira da sua prostituição.
另有第二位天使接著說:「傾覆了!那曾叫列國喝淫亂、烈怒之酒的大 巴比倫 傾覆了!」
