Wahyu 19:2

19:2 because his judgments are true and just. ⁵ 

For he has judged ⁶  the great prostitute

who corrupted the earth with her sexual immorality,

and has avenged the blood of his servants ⁷  poured out by her own hands!” ⁸ 

[6:10]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[6:10]  ² tn Grk “voice, saying”; the participle λέγοντες (legontes) is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated here.
