⁶ ·Give [Pay back] that city the same as she ·gave to [paid] others.
    Pay her back ·twice as much as [double what] she did.
·Prepare wine for her that is twice as strong
    as the wine she prepared for others [^LIn the cup she mixed, mix double for her; 14:8].
  ⁷ She gave herself much glory and ·rich living [sensual luxury].
    Give her that much ·suffering [torment; torture] and ·sadness [grief; mourning].
She says ·to herself [^Lin her heart], ‘I am a queen sitting on my throne.
    I am not a widow; I will never ·be sad [know grief; mourn].’
  ⁸ So these ·disasters [plagues] will come to her in one day:
    death, and ·crying [sadness; grief; mourning], and ·great hunger [famine],
and she will be ·destroyed [consumed; burned up] by fire,
    because the Lord God who judges her is ·powerful [strong].”
