Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.

Verse 8 is found in chapter 18 of Revelation. Another angel announces with great authority the fall of Babylon and describes her dwelling as a habitation of demons and every unclean spirit. A voice calls God’s people to come out of her so that they may not participate in her sins or receive her plagues. The reasons for judgment include her pride, luxury, and exploitation, summarized in the statement that she glorified herself. Her fall occurs "in one hour," an image of how quickly a seemingly invulnerable power can disappear.

Darum werden ihre Plagen auf einen Tag kommen: Tod, Leid und Hunger; mit Feuer wird sie verbrannt werden; denn stark ist Gott der HERR, der sie richten wird.
Por lo cual en un día vendrán sus plagas, muerte, llanto y hambre, y será quemada con fuego; porque el Señor Dios es fuerte, que la juzgará.
Por eso en un solo día vendrán sus plagas: muerte, duelo y hambre, y será consumida por el fuego, porque poderoso es el Señor Dios que la juzgó».
A cause de cela, en un même jour, ses fléaux arriveront, la mort, le deuil et la famine, et elle sera consumée par le feu. Car il est puissant, le Seigneur Dieu qui l'a jugée.
Perciò, in uno stesso giorno verranno le sue piaghe: morte, e cordoglio, e fame; e sarà arsa col fuoco; perciocchè possente è il Signore Iddio, il quale la giudicherà
Portanto, num dia virão as suas pragas, a morte, e o pranto, e a fome; e será queimada no fogo; porque é forte o Senhor Deus que a julga.
所以在一天之內,她的災殃要一齊來到, 就是死亡、悲哀、饑荒。 她將被火燒盡, 因為審判她的主上帝大有能力。」
