She has become a place where demons live.
She is a home for every disgusting spirit.
She is a home for every unclean bird.
She is a home for every unclean and disgusting animal.
She has been like a prostitute who makes men become drunk.

All the traders of the earth have become rich,
because she has bought things from them to enjoy a wicked life.’
