Question
I would be very appreciative if you could translate the following quotation into Latin: "Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned, nor hell a fury like a woman scorned."  

Answer
Hello,

“Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned, nor hell a fury like a woman scorned", a quotation from a play called the "The Mourning Bride" (1697) by William Congreve, can be translated into Latin as follows:

“Nec caelum iram habet ut amor in odium mutatus, nec inferi furorem ut recusata mulier “.

Best,
Maria
