Charles Ellicott Commentary Revelation 18:3

"For by the wine of the wrath of her fornication all the nations are fallen; and the kings of the earth committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth waxed rich by the power of her wantonness." — Revelation 18:3 (ASV)

For all nations have drunk . . .—Better, Because by the wrath of her fornication (Compare to Revelation 14:8, and Note there) all the nations have drunk (or, according to another reading, have fallen; the readings are similar: the drinking of it leads to their degradation and fall), and the kings of the earth committed (not “have committed”) fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from the strength of her luxury.

She has been an enemy to mankind viewed in three great aspects: nations, kings, and merchants. She has brought delirium upon nations; she has reduced kings; she has bribed merchants: her sins are strong sins; with both hands earnestly has she sinned.
