Revelation

Revelation 18:6–7

⁶Give back to her as she has done to others;

pay her back double for what she has done;

mix her a double portion in her own cup.

⁷As much as she has glorified herself and lived in luxury,

give her the same measure of torment and grief.

In her heart she says, ‘I sit as queen;

I am not a widow and will never see grief.’
