Revelation 18:7-8

18:7 As much as ¹  she exalted herself and lived in sensual luxury, ²  to this extent give her torment and grief because she said to herself, ³  ‘I rule as queen and am no widow; I will never experience grief!’ 18:8 For this reason, she will experience her plagues ⁴  in a single day: disease, ⁵  mourning, ⁶  and famine, and she will be burned down ⁷  with fire, because the Lord God who judges her is powerful!”

Revelation 2:10

2:10 Do not be afraid of the things you are about to suffer. The devil is about to have some of you thrown ⁸  into prison so you may be tested, ⁹  and you will experience suffering ¹⁰  for ten days. Remain faithful even to the point of death, and I will give you the crown that is life itself. ¹¹
