Exegesis
The direct object ta adikēmata {τὰ ἀδικήματα | ta a-di-kḗ-ma-ta} specifies the character of what is remembered: concrete injustices and wrongs, again modified by autēs {αὐτῆς | au-tês} to keep focus on the city’s culpability. English renderings preserve the causal linkage and the two-step movement—sins ascending to heaven, then God’s deliberate act of remembering—while using idiomatic expressions (“have clung,” “have piled up,” “called to mind”) to convey the underlying forensic and spatial imagery.
Root and etymology
adikeōalpha–delta–iota–kappa–epsilon–omega
“to do wrong, act unjustly”
In context — Revelation 18:5
For her sins have clung as far as heaven, and God has remembered her injustices.
