for her sins are piled up to heaven,
and God has remembered her crimes.
6
Give back to her as she has given;
pay her back double for what she has done.
Mix her a double portion from her own cup.
7
Give her as much torture and grief
as the glory and luxury she gave herself.
In her heart she boasts,
‘I sit as queen; I am not a widow,
and I will never mourn.’
8
Therefore in one day her plagues will overtake her:
death, mourning and famine.
She will be consumed by fire,
for mighty is the Lord God who judges her.
