Exegesis
The relative clause with hetis {ἥτις | hḗ-tis} characterizes her action: ephtheiren {ἔφθειρεν | éph-thei-ren} governs ten gen {τὴν γῆν | tḕn gḗn}, and the prepositional en te porneia autes {ἐν τῇ πορνείᾳ αὐτῆς | en tê por-neí-a au-tês} denotes her sphere of corruption.
In context — Revelation 19:2
For true and just are His judgments , because He has judged the great prostitute who corrupted the earth in her immorality and has avenged the blood of His servants from her hand.
