“Render to her as she rendered to others!
Pay her back double for what she has done!
Use the cup in which she has brewed
to brew her a double-sized drink!

“Give her as much torment and sorrow
as the glory and luxury she gave herself!
For in her heart she says, ‘I sit a queen —
I am not a widow, I will never see sorrow.’
“Therefore, her plagues will come in a single day —
death, sorrow and famine;
and she will be burned with fire,
because Adonai, God, her Judge, is mighty”

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)
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)
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.
