for (A)her sins are heaped high as heaven,
    and (B)God has remembered her iniquities.
(C)Pay her back as she herself has paid back others,
    and repay her (D)double for her deeds;
    mix a double portion for her (E)in the cup she mixed.
(F)As she glorified herself and lived in luxury,
    so give her a like measure of torment and mourning,
since in her heart she says,
    (G)‘I sit as a queen,
I am no widow,
    and mourning I shall never see.’

for her sins are piled up to heaven,(A)
    and God has remembered(B) her crimes.
Give back to her as she has given;
    pay her back(C) double(D) for what she has done.
    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)
