Revelation 18:4-8
Legacy Standard Bible
4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, “(A)Come out of her, my people, so that you will not participate in her sins and receive of her plagues; 5 for her sins have [a](B)piled up as high as heaven, and God has (C)remembered her iniquities. 6 (D)Pay her back even as she paid, and [b]give her back double according to her deeds; in the (E)cup which she has mixed, mix double for her. 7 (F)To the degree that she glorified herself and (G)lived [c]sensuously, to the same degree give her torment and mourning, for she says in her heart, ‘(H)I sit as a queen and I am not a widow, and will never see mourning.’ 8 For this reason (I)in one day her plagues will come, [d]pestilence and mourning and famine, and she will be (J)burned up with fire; for the Lord God who judges her (K)is strong.

Evangelical Heritage Version
4 And I heard another voice from heaven say:
Come out of her, my people,
so that you will not share in her sins,
and so that you will not receive any of her plagues,
5 because her sins have reached heaven
and God has remembered her crimes.
6 Pay her back even as she has paid.
Pay her back double for what she has done.
In the cup that she mixed, mix her a double portion.
7 As much glory and luxury as she gave herself,
give that much torture and grief to her,
because in her heart she says:
I sit as a queen,
I am not a widow, and
I will never mourn.
8 For this reason her plagues will come on a single day:
death, mourning, and famine,
and she will be burned in fire,
because the Lord God, who judges her, is powerful.
