Listen to Apocalypse 18:5
5 Car ses péchés sont montés jusqu'au ciel et Dieu s'est souvenu de ses iniquités.

Apocalypse 18:5 Meaning and Commentary

Revelation 18:5

For her sins have reached unto heaven
Or "have followed unto heaven"; one after another, in one age after another, until they have been as it were heaped up together, and have reached the heavens; the phrase denotes the multitude of them, God's knowledge and notice of them, and the cry of them to him; see ( Genesis 18:20 ) ( Jonah 1:2 ) the Alexandrian copy and Complutensian edition read, "have cleaved", or "glued", and so the Syriac and Arabic versions seem to have read; her sins were as it were soldered together, and stuck fast to her, and being joined and linked together, made a long chain, and reached to heaven, and cleaved to that, and cried for vengeance:

and God hath remembered her iniquities;
and is about to punish her for them; for as forgiveness of sin is signified by a non-remembrance of it, so punishment of sin by a remembrance of it, and of the persons that commit it; see ( Revelation 16:19 ) .

Apocalypse 18:5 In-Context

3 Car toutes les nations ont bu du vin de la fureur de sa fornication, et les rois de la terre se sont prostitués avec elle; et les marchands de la terre se sont enrichis de l'abondance de son luxe.
4 Puis j'entendis une autre voix du ciel, qui disait: Sortez du milieu d'elle, mon peuple; de peur que, participant à ses péchés, vous n'ayez aussi part à ses plaies;
5 Car ses péchés sont montés jusqu'au ciel et Dieu s'est souvenu de ses iniquités.
6 Traitez-la comme elle vous a traitĂ©s, rendez-lui au double ce qu'elle vous a fait. Dans la mĂȘme coupe oĂč elle vous a versĂ©, versez-lui au double.
7 Autant elle s'est enorgueillie et s'est plongĂ©e dans les dĂ©lices, autant faites-lui souffrir de tourment et d'affliction, parce qu'elle dit en son cƓur: Je suis assise en reine, je ne suis point veuve, et je ne verrai point le deuil.
