“How 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.”
'Give her as much torment and grief as the glory and luxury she gave herself; in her heart she boasts, 'I sit enthroned as queen; I am not a widow, and I will never mourn' - Babylon's self-exaltation and boasted invulnerability are met with equivalent judgment. Her refusal to acknowledge vulnerability becomes the measure of her downfall.
