Revelation 18:11–19

¹¹The merchants of the earth will also weep and mourn over her, because no one buys their merchandise any longer— ¹²merchandise of gold, silver, precious stones, and pearls; fine fabrics of linen, purple, silk, and scarlet; all kinds of fragrant wood products; objects of ivory; objects of expensive wood, brass, ^kiron, and marble; ¹³cinnamon, spice, ^lmincense, myrrh, ⁿand frankincense; wine, olive oil, fine wheat flour, and grain; cattle and sheep; horses and carriages; and slaves ^oand human lives. ^pq

¹⁴The fruit you craved has left you.

All your splendid and glamorous things are gone;

they will never find them again.

¹⁵The merchants of these things, who became rich from her, will stand far off in fear of her torment, weeping and mourning, ¹⁶saying:

Woe, woe, the great city,

dressed in fine linen, purple, and scarlet,

adorned with gold, precious stones, and pearls, ^r

¹⁷for in a single hour ^s

such fabulous wealth was destroyed!

And every shipmaster, seafarer, the sailors, and all who do business by sea, stood far off ¹⁸as they watched the smoke from her burning and kept crying out: “Who is like the great city?” ^t19They threw dust on their heads and kept crying out, weeping, and mourning: ^u

Woe, woe, the great city, ^v

where all those who have ships on the sea

became rich from her wealth,

for in a single hour ^wshe was destroyed.
