Revelation 18:6-8
EasyEnglish Bible
6 Yes, punish the people of that city.
Do to them the same things that they have done to others.
Punish them with twice the bad things that they themselves have done.
She caused people to drink pain from her cup.
Now make her drink twice as much pain for herself!
7 She liked to receive honour.
She bought expensive things to enjoy a wicked life.
So now give her the trouble and pain that she deserves.
She has said to herself, “I rule people like a queen.
I do not live like a widow.
I will never need to be sad.”
8 Because she speaks like that,
she will receive many troubles in one single day.
Her people will become very ill.
They will be very sad.
They will have no food to eat.
Fire will destroy the city,
The Lord God is powerful.
So he will punish her with these troubles.’
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.
