Revelation of John 18:5-8
5for qher sins are heaped high as heaven,and rGod has remembered her iniquities.
6 sPay her back as she herself has paid back others,
and repay her tdouble for her deeds;
mix a double portion for her uin the cup she mixed.
7 vAs she glorified herself and lived in luxury,
so give her a like measure of torment and mourning,
since in her heart she says,
w‘I sit as a queen,
I am no widow,
and mourning I shall never see.’
8For this reason her plagues will come xin a single day,
death and mourning and famine,
and yshe will be burned up with fire;
for zmighty is the Lord God who has judged her.”
Revelation of John 18:20
20 aaRejoice over her, O heaven,and you saints and abapostles and prophets,
for acGod has given judgment for you against her!”
