Exegesis
The verse employs a correlative proportion hosa {ὅσα | hósa} ‘as much as’ balanced by tosoûton {τοσοῦτον | tosoûton} ‘so much’, leading into the imperative dóte {δότε | dóte} ‘give’ as the main verb of the apodosis.
In context — Revelation 18:7
To the extent that she glorified herself and lived in luxury, give her that same measure of torment and mourning, because in her heart she says, “I sit as a queen, and I am not a widow, and I will never see mourning.”
