Revelation 18:6-8

Easy-to-Read Version

⁶ Give that city the same as she gave to others.
    Pay her back twice as much as she did.
Prepare wine for her that is twice as strong
    as the wine she prepared for others.
⁷ She gave herself much glory and rich living.
    Give her that much suffering and sadness.
She says to herself, ‘I am a queen sitting on my throne.
    I am not a widow;
    I will never be sad.’
⁸ So in one day she will suffer
    great hunger, mourning, and death.
She will be destroyed by fire,
    because the Lord God who judges her is powerful.
