1113. Verse 6. Render unto her, even as she hath rendered unto you, and double unto her double according to her works; in the cup with which she hath mixed, mix unto her double.

"Render unto her even as she hath rendered unto you," signifies infernal punishment corresponding to their evil deeds; "and double unto her double according to her works," signifies much retribution in the measure that they have profaned good; "in the cup with which she hath mixed, mix unto her double," signifies retribution in proportion to the profanation of truth.
