She gave herself much glory and ·rich living [sensual luxury].
    Give her that much ·suffering [torment; torture] and ·sadness [grief; mourning].
She says ·to herself [L in her heart], ‘I am a queen sitting on my throne.
    I am not a widow; I will never ·be sad [know grief; mourn].’
  So these ·disasters [plagues] will come to her in one day:
    death, and ·crying [sadness; grief; mourning], and ·great hunger [famine],
and she will be ·destroyed [consumed; burned up] by fire,
    because the Lord God who judges her is ·powerful [strong].”

The kings of the earth who ·sinned sexually [fornicated] with her and ·shared her wealth [lived in luxury/sensuality with her] will see the smoke from her burning. Then they will ·cry [weep] and ·be sad [mourn] because of her death.
