 6Reward 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.
 7How 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.
 8Therefore 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.
 9And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,

 13And cinnamon, and odors, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.
 14And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all.
 15The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,
 16And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls!
 17For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
 18And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!

• "The great whore" had presented an obstinate barrier to blessing; not simply because she was evil, but because her profession had been all that was holy and true, while in effect she it was who above all had been active in corrupting grace and truth as far as possible; she had utterly and systematically denied Christ in effect, though parading everywhere the outward symbol of His cross…. But now the true and righteous judgment of God had smitten her, and there is rejoicing in heaven. (“Revelation 18: The Great City Babylon” by H. Smith)

WK Translation Notes

+
a
"And" should disappear from the beginning according to the best and fullest authority.
b
There is as good authority for inserting "as it were" after "I heard" in the RV; and here the Complutensian and Elzevir differ from Erasmus, and Stephens whom the KJV followed.
c
The order in the T. R. differs slightly.
d
The ancient order has been departed from in the RV, and the grammatical form. The Complutensian editors adhered to the construction and sense of legontōn (saying).
e
The expression "and honor" is an addition from preceding ascription of praise, and has only small support of inferior authorities here. The Complutensian edition rightly left it out.
f
The best MSS. have "of our God," and so the Complutensian, not "to" as some copies and ancient versions, still less "to the Lord our God" as in the T. R.
