Revelation 18:4-8 GNB
Then I heard another voice from heaven, saying, "Come out, my people! Come out from her! You must not take part in her sins; you must not share in her punishment! (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 strong as the drink she prepared for you. (7) Give her as much suffering and grief as 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 burned with fire, because the Lord God [יהוה], who judges her, is mighty."

Revelation 18:4-8 NWT
4 And I heard another voice out of heaven say: "Get out of her, my people, if you do not want to share with her in her sins, and if you do not want to receive part of her plagues. 5 For her sins have massed together clear up to heaven, and God has called her acts of injustice to mind. 6 Render to her even as she herself rendered, and do to her twice as much, yes, twice the number of the things she did; in the cup in which she put a mixture put twice as much of the mixture for her. 7 To the extent that she glorified herself and lived in shameless luxury, to that extent give her torment and mourning. For in her heart she keeps saying, 'I sit a queen, and I am no widow, and I shall never see mourning.' 8 That is why in one day her plagues will come, death and mourning and famine, and she will be completely burned with fire, because Jehovah God [יהוה], who judged her, is strong.
Revelation 18:4-8 LITV
(4) And I heard another voice out of Heaven saying, My people, come out of her, that you may not share in her sins, and that you may not receive of her plagues;
(5) because her sins joined together, even up to Heaven, and God remembered her unjust deeds.
(6) Give back to her as also she gave back to you, and double to her double, according to her works. In the cup which she mixed, mix to her double.
(7) By what things she glorified herself, and luxuriated, by so much give back to her torment and mourning. Because she says in her heart, I sit as a queen, and I am not a widow; and I do not see mourning at all.
(8) Because of this, in one day her plagues shall come: death, and mourning, and famine; and she will be consumed with fire, for the Lord God [יהוה] judging her is strong.
