Revelation 18:4-8
English Standard Version
4 Then I heard another voice from heaven saying,
(A)“Come out of her, my people,
lest you take part in her sins,
lest you share in her plagues;
5 for (B)her sins are heaped high as heaven,
and (C)God has remembered her iniquities.
6 (D)Pay her back as she herself has paid back others,
and repay her (E)double for her deeds;
mix a double portion for her (F)in the cup she mixed.
7 (G)As she glorified herself and lived in luxury,
so give her a like measure of torment and mourning,
since in her heart she says,
(H)‘I sit as a queen,
I am no widow,
and mourning I shall never see.’
8 For this reason her plagues will come (I)in a single day,
death and mourning and famine,
and (J)she will be burned up with fire;
for (K)mighty is the Lord God who has judged her.”
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)
