¹¹And the merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her, because no one buys their cargo any more—¹²cargo of gold and silver and precious stones and pearls and fine linen and purple cloth and silk and scarlet cloth and all kinds of scented wood and all kinds of ivory goods and all kinds of goods of precious wood and bronze and iron and marble ¹³and cinnamon and amomum^d and incense and ointment and frankincense and wine and olive oil and fine wheat flour and wheat and domesticated animals and sheep and horses and carriages and slaves^e and human lives.

¹⁴“And the fruit your soul desires^f has departed from you,

and all the luxury and the splendor has perished from you,

and they will never find them any more.”

¹⁵The merchants of these things, who became rich from them, will stand far off^g, weeping and mourning because of the fear of her torment,
