Revelation 18:8

18:8 For this reason, she will experience her plagues 1  in a single day: disease, 2  mourning, 3  and famine, and she will be burned down 4  with fire, because the Lord God who judges her is powerful!”

1 tn Grk “For this reason, her plagues will come.”

2 tn Grk “death.” θάνατος (qanatos) can in particular contexts refer to a manner of death, specifically a contagious disease (see BDAG 443 s.v. 3; L&N 23.158).

3 tn This is the same Greek word (πένθος, penqo") translated “grief” in vv. 7-8.

4 tn Here “burned down” was used to translate κατακαυθήσεται (katakauqhsetai) because a city is in view.
