Revelation 18:6-8
Contemporary English Version
Revelation 18:6-8
Contemporary English Version
6 (A) Treat her as she
has treated others.
Make her pay double
for what she has done.
Make her drink twice as much
of what she mixed
for others.
7 (B) That woman honored herself
with a life of luxury.
Reward her now
with suffering and pain.
“Deep in her heart
Babylon said,
‘I am the queen!
Never will I be a widow
or know what it means
to be sad.’
8 And so, in a single day
she will suffer the pain
of sorrow, hunger, and death.
Fire will destroy
her dead body,
because her judge
is the powerful Lord God.”

Revelation 18:6-8
New International Version
6 Give back to her as she has given;
pay her back(A) double(B) for what she has done.
Pour her a double portion from her own cup.(C)
7 Give her as much torment and grief
as the glory and luxury she gave herself.(D)
In her heart she boasts,
‘I sit enthroned as queen.
I am not a widow;[a]
I will never mourn.’(E)
8 Therefore in one day(F) her plagues will overtake her:
death, mourning and famine.
She will be consumed by fire,(G)
for mighty is the Lord God who judges her.
