Exegesis
The causal conjunction hóti {ὅτι | hóti} ‘because’ introduces the prepositional phrase en tê kardíā autês {ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτῆς | en tê kardíā autês} ‘in her heart’ followed by légei {λέγει | légei} ‘she says’, attributing the rationale to inner arrogance.

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.”
