³ For all nations have drunk^{[a]
    (A)}the wine of the passion of her sexual immorality,
and ^(B)the kings of the earth have committed immorality with her,
    and ^(C)the merchants of the earth have grown rich from the power of her luxurious living.”

^7 (A)As she glorified herself and lived in luxury,
    so give her a like measure of torment and mourning,
since in her heart she says,
    ^(B)‘I sit as a queen,
I am no widow,
    and mourning I shall never see.’
