Ezekiel 27:27
English Standard Version
27 Your riches, your wares, your merchandise,
your mariners and (A)your pilots,
(B)your caulkers, your dealers in merchandise,
and all your men of war who are in you,
with all your crew
that is in your midst,
sink into the heart of the seas
(C)on the day of your fall.
Proverbs 11:4
English Standard Version
Revelation 18:11-24
English Standard Version
11 And (A)the merchants of the earth weep and mourn for her, since no one buys their cargo anymore, 12 cargo of gold, silver, jewels, pearls, fine linen, purple cloth, silk, scarlet cloth, all kinds of scented wood, all kinds of articles of ivory, all kinds of articles of costly wood, bronze, iron and marble, 13 cinnamon, spice, incense, myrrh, frankincense, wine, oil, fine flour, wheat, cattle and sheep, horses and chariots, and slaves, that is, human souls.[a]
14 “The fruit for which your soul longed
has gone from you,
and all your delicacies and your splendors
are lost to you,
never to be found again!”
15 (B)The merchants of these wares, who gained wealth from her, (C)will stand far off, in fear of her torment, weeping and mourning aloud,
16 “Alas, alas, for the great city
(D)that was clothed in fine linen,
in purple and scarlet,
adorned with gold,
with jewels, and with pearls!
17 For (E)in a single hour all this wealth (F)has been laid waste.”
And (G)all shipmasters and seafaring men, sailors and all whose trade is on the sea, stood far off 18 and (H)cried out (I)as they saw the smoke of her burning,
(J)“What city was like the great city?”
19 And they threw (K)dust on their heads as they wept and mourned, crying out,
“Alas, alas, for the great city
(L)where all who had ships at sea
grew rich by her wealth!
For (M)in a single hour she has been laid waste.
20 (N)Rejoice over her, O heaven,
and you saints and (O)apostles and prophets,
for (P)God has given judgment for you against her!”
21 Then (Q)a mighty angel (R)took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying,
“So will Babylon (S)the great city be thrown down with violence,
and will be found no more;
22 and (T)the sound of harpists and musicians, of flute players and trumpeters,
will be heard in you no more,
and a craftsman of any craft
will be found in you no more,
and (U)the sound of the mill
will be heard in you no more,
23 and the light of a lamp
will shine in you no more,
and (V)the voice of bridegroom and bride
will be heard in you no more,
for (W)your merchants were the great ones of the earth,
and all nations were deceived (X)by your sorcery.
24 And (Y)in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints,
and of (Z)all who have been slain on earth.”
