Because His judgments (His condemnation and punishment, His sentences of doom) are true and sound and just and upright. He has judged (convicted, pronounced sentence, and doomed) the great and notorious harlot (idolatries) who corrupted and demoralized and poisoned the earth with her lewdness and adultery (idolatry). And he has avenged (visited on her the penalty for) the blood of His servants at her hand. |
