What is the meaning of Revelation 18:7?

* The two F.O.G. Bibles and Commentary below are currently a work in progress.

Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

As much as she has glorified herself and lived in luxury, give her the same measure of torment and grief. In her heart she says, ‘I sit as queen; I am not a widow and will never see grief.’

World English Bible (WEB)

However much she glorified herself, and grew wanton, so much give her of torment and mourning. For she says in her heart, ‘I sit a queen, and am no widow, and will in no way see mourning.’

Strong's King James

How much{G3745} she hath glorified{G1392}{(G5656)} herself{G1438}, and{G2532} lived deliciously{G4763}{(G5656)}, so much{G5118} torment{G929} and{G2532} sorrow{G3997} give{G1325}{(G5628)} her{G846}: for{G3754} she saith{G3004}{(G5719)} in{G1722} her{G846} heart{G2588}, I sit{G2521}{(G5736)} a queen{G938}, and{G2532} am{G1510}{(G5748)} no{G3756} widow{G5503}, and{G2532} shall see{G1492}{(G5632)} no{G3364} sorrow{G3997}.

The F.O.G *

Whatever she glorified herself and lived in sensual-luxury, so much, give her torture and mourning because she says in her heart that, "I SIT A QUEEN! I AM NOT A WIDOW, AND WILL NEVER SEE MOURNING."

The F.O.G Message *

[7] She glorified herself and lived in outrageous luxury, so match it now with torment and grief. For she boasts in her heart, 'I reign as queen, no widow's grief will ever touch me!'

Young's Literal Translation

‘As much as she did glorify herself and did revel, so much torment and sorrow give to her, because in her heart she saith, I sit a queen, and a widow I am not, and sorrow I shall not see;
