Yield ye to it, as [and] she yielded to you; and double ye double things, after her works; in the drink that she mixed to you, mix ye double to her [in the drink that she meddled to you, mingle ye double to her].

As much as she glorified herself, and was in delights, so much torment give to her, and wailing; for in her heart she saith, I sit a queen, and I am not a widow, and I shall not see wailing. [How much she glorified herself, and was in delights, so much torment give ye to her, and weeping, or mourning; for in her heart she saith, I sit a queen, and I am not a widow, and I shall not see weeping, or mourning.]

And therefore in one day her wounds shall come [And therefore in one day her plagues shall come], death, and mourning, and hunger; and she shall be burnt in fire, for God is strong, that shall deem her.

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.
