Revelation 18:6-8
New Testament for Everyone
6 Pay her back as she has paid others; give her double again for all her deeds. Mix her a double dose in her own cup—the cup in which she mixed her poisons. 7 She made herself glorious and lived in luxury; balance that by giving her torture and sorrow! She said in her heart, ‘I’m the queen! I’m on the throne! I’m not a widow! I’m never going to be a mourner!’ 8 Therefore her plagues will come in a single day, death, mourning and famine, and she will be burned with fire, because God the Lord, her judge, is strong.”

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.
