Exegesis
A subsequent prepositional phrase en tō potēriō hō ekerasen {ἐν τῷ ποτηρίῳ ᾧ ἐκέρασεν | en tôi po-tē-rí-ō hō e-ké-ra-sen} ‘in the cup which she mixed’ evokes the instrument of judgment tied to her own design.
In context — Revelation 18:6
Repay her in the same way she herself repaid, and according to her deeds return to her double; in the cup which she mixed, mix for her a double measure.
