For her sins are piled up as high as the heavens,
    and God has remembered her crimes.
Pay her back as she has done to others,
    and repay her double for her deeds;
    mix her a double portion of her own poison.
Give her torment and grief
    to equal the measure of her glory and luxury.
In her heart she says,
    ‘I rule as a queen.
I am not a widow,
    and I will never experience grief.’

Give back to her as she has given;

    Pour her a double portion from her own cup.(E)
Give her as much torment and grief
    as the glory and luxury she gave herself.(F)
In her heart she boasts,
    ‘I sit enthroned as queen.
I am not a widow;[a]
    I will never mourn.’(G)
