Revelation 18:4-8
New American Standard Bible
4 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 any of her plagues; 5 for her sins have [a](B)piled up as high as heaven, and God has (C)remembered her offenses. 6 (D)Pay her back even as she has paid, and [b]give back to her double according to her deeds; in the (E)cup which she has mixed, mix twice as much for her. 7 (F)To the extent that she glorified herself and (G)lived luxuriously, to the same extent 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, [c]plague and mourning and famine, and she will be (J)burned up with fire; for the Lord God who judges her (K)is strong.

Revelation 18:4-8
New King James Version
4 And I heard another voice from heaven saying, (A)“Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues. 5 (B)For her sins [a]have reached to heaven, and (C)God has remembered her iniquities. 6 (D)Render to her just as she rendered [b]to you, and repay her double according to her works; (E)in the cup which she has mixed, (F)mix double for her. 7 (G)In the measure that she glorified herself and lived [c]luxuriously, in the same measure give her torment and sorrow; for she says in her heart, ‘I sit as (H)queen, and am no widow, and will not see sorrow.’ 8 Therefore her plagues will come (I)in one day—death and mourning and famine. And (J)she will be utterly burned with fire, (K)for strong is the Lord God who [d]judges her.
