5. For her sins are piled up as high as heaven,and God remembers her wicked ways.
6. Treat her exactly as she has treated you;pay her back double for all she has done.Fill her cup with a drink twice as strongas the drink she prepared for you.
7. Give her as much suffering and griefas the glory and luxury she gave herself.For she keeps telling herself:‘Here I sit, a queen!I am no widow,I will never know grief!’
8. Because of this, in one day she will be struck with plagues —disease, grief, and famine.And she will be burnt with fire,because the Lord God, who judges her, is mighty.”
