Revelation 18:4-8
Christian Standard Bible
4 Then I heard another voice from heaven:
Come out of her, my people,
so that you will not share in her sins(A)
or receive any of her plagues.
5 For her sins are piled up[a] to heaven,(B)
and God has remembered her crimes.(C)
6 Pay her back the way she also paid,(D)
and double it according to her works.(E)
In the cup in which she mixed,(F)
mix a double portion for her.
7 As much as she glorified herself and indulged her sensual and excessive ways,
give her that much torment and grief.
For she says in her heart,
“I sit as a queen;
I am not a widow,
and I will never see grief.”(G)
8 For this reason her plagues will come in just one day—
death and grief and famine.(H)
She will be burned up with fire,(I)
because the Lord God who judges(J) her is mighty.(K)

Revelation 18:4-8
Lexham English Bible
4 And I heard another voice from heaven saying,
“Come out from her, my people,
so that you will not participate in her sins,
and so that you will not receive her plagues,
5 because her sins have reached up to heaven,
and God has remembered her crimes.
6 Pay back to her as she herself also paid out,
and pay back double[a] according to her deeds;
in the cup that she mixed, mix double for her.
7 As much as she glorified herself and lived in luxury,
give to her so much torment and mourning,
because in her heart she said,
‘I sit as a queen, and am not a widow,
and I will never see mourning!’
8 Because of this her plagues will come in one day—
death and mourning and famine—
and she will be burned up with fire,
because the Lord God who passes judgment on her is powerful!”
