Exegesis
The direct object phrase basanismón kai pénthos {βασανισμὸν καὶ πένθος | basanismón kai pénthos} ‘torment and mourning’ mirrors her prior excess, reinforcing reciprocal judgment.
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.”
