Wahyu 18:7

18:7 As much as ³  she exalted herself and lived in sensual luxury, ⁴  to this extent give her torment and grief because she said to herself, ⁵  ‘I rule as queen and am no widow; I will never experience grief!’

[18:19]  ¹ tn Grk “with weeping and mourning, saying.” Here the participle λέγοντες (legontes) has not been translated because it is redundant in contemporary English.

[18:7]  ³ tn “As much as” is the translation of ὅσα (Josa).
