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.

Verse 6 is found in chapter 18 of Revelation. Another angel announces with great authority the fall of Babylon and describes her dwelling as a habitation of demons and every unclean spirit. A voice calls God’s people to come out of her so that they may not participate in her sins or receive her plagues. The reasons for judgment include her pride, luxury, and exploitation, summarized in the statement that she glorified herself. Her fall occurs "in one hour," an image of how quickly a seemingly invulnerable power can disappear.

Bezahlet sie, wie sie bezahlt hat, und macht's ihr zwiefältig nach ihren Werken; und in welchem Kelch sie eingeschenkt hat, schenkt ihr zwiefältig ein.
Tornadle a dar como ella os ha dado, y pagadle al doble según sus obras; en el cáliz que ella os dio a beber, dadle a beber doblado.
Páguenle como ella pagó, y denle el doble conforme a sus obras. En la copa en que preparó bebida, prepárenle el doble.
Payez-la comme elle a payé, et rendez-lui au double selon ses oeuvres. Dans la coupe où elle a versé, versez-lui au double.
Rendetele il cambio, al pari di ciò che ella vi ha fatto; anzi rendetele secondo le sue opere al doppio; nella coppa, nella quale ella ha mesciuto a voi, mescetele il doppio.
Tornai-lhe a dar como ela vos tem dado, e retribuí-lhe em dobro conforme as suas obras; no cálice em que vos deu de beber, dai-lhe a ela em dobro.
她怎樣待人,也要怎樣待她, 按她所行的加倍地報應她; 用她調酒的杯加倍調給她喝。
