Revelation 18:6

Lament Over Babylon The Great

⁵ For her sins are piled up to heaven,
and God has remembered her crimes.
⁶ Pay her back the way she also paid,
and double it according to her works.
In the cup in which she mixed,
mix a double portion for her.
⁷ As much as she glorified herself and lived luxuriously,
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.”
