Revelation 18:6-8
King James Version
6 Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.
7 How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
8 Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.

6 (A)Render to her just as she rendered [a]to you, and repay her double according to her works; (B)in the cup which she has mixed, (C)mix double for her. 7 (D)In the measure that she glorified herself and lived [b]luxuriously, in the same measure give her torment and sorrow; for she says in her heart, ‘I sit as (E)queen, and am no widow, and will not see sorrow.’ 8 Therefore her plagues will come (F)in one day—death and mourning and famine. And (G)she will be utterly burned with fire, (H)for strong is the Lord God who [c]judges her.

New American Standard Bible
6 (A)Pay her back even as she has paid, and [a]give back to her double according to her deeds; in the (B)cup which she has mixed, mix twice as much for her. 7 (C)To the extent that she glorified herself and (D)lived luxuriously, to the same extent give her torment and mourning; for she says in her heart, ‘(E)I sit as a queen and I am not a widow, and will never see mourning.’ 8 For this reason (F)in one day her plagues will come, [b]plague and mourning and famine, and she will be (G)burned up with fire; for the Lord God who judges her (H)is strong.

Revelation 18:6-8
New International Version
6 Give back to her as she has given;
pay her back(A) double(B) for what she has done.
Pour her a double portion from her own cup.(C)
7 Give her as much torment and grief
as the glory and luxury she gave herself.(D)
In her heart she boasts,
‘I sit enthroned as queen.
I am not a widow;[a]
I will never mourn.’(E)
8 Therefore in one day(F) her plagues will overtake her:
death, mourning and famine.
She will be consumed by fire,(G)
for mighty is the Lord God who judges her.

Revelation 18:6-8
English Standard Version
6 (A)Pay her back as she herself has paid back others,
and repay her (B)double for her deeds;
mix a double portion for her (C)in the cup she mixed.
7 (D)As she glorified herself and lived in luxury,
so give her a like measure of torment and mourning,
since in her heart she says,
(E)‘I sit as a queen,
I am no widow,
and mourning I shall never see.’
8 For this reason her plagues will come (F)in a single day,
death and mourning and famine,
and (G)she will be burned up with fire;
for (H)mighty is the Lord God who has judged her.”
