³ For all nations have drunk^{[a]
    (A)}the wine of the passion of her sexual immorality,
and ^(B)the kings of the earth have committed immorality with her,
    and ^(C)the merchants of the earth have grown rich from the power of her luxurious living.”

²³ and the light of a lamp
    will shine in you no more,
and ^(A)the voice of bridegroom and bride
    will be heard in you no more,
for ^(B)your merchants were the great ones of the earth,
    and all nations were deceived ^(C)by your sorcery.

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.
²⁸ At the sound of the cry of your pilots
    ^(D)the countryside shakes,
²⁹ and down from their ships
    ^(E)come all who handle the oar.
The mariners and all the pilots of the sea
    stand on the land
^30 (F)and shout aloud over you
    and cry out bitterly.
^(G)They cast dust on their heads
    ^(H)and wallow in ashes;
³¹ they ^(I)make themselves bald for you
    and put sackcloth on their waist,
and they weep over you in bitterness of soul,
    with bitter mourning.
³² In their wailing they ^(J)raise a lamentation for you
    and lament over you:
^(K)‘Who is like Tyre,
    like one destroyed in the midst of the sea?
³³ When your wares came from the seas,
    ^(L)you satisfied many peoples;
with your abundant wealth and merchandise
    ^(M)you enriched the kings of the earth.
³⁴ Now ^(N)you are wrecked by the seas,
    in the depths of the waters;
your merchandise and all your crew in your midst
    have sunk with you.
^35 (O)All the inhabitants of the coastlands
    are appalled at you,
and ^(P)the hair of their kings bristles with horror;
    their faces are convulsed.
^36 (Q)The merchants among the peoples ^(R)hiss at you;
    ^(S)you have come to a dreadful end
    and shall be no more forever.’”

^20 (A)Rejoice over her, O heaven,
    and you saints and ^(B)apostles and prophets,
for ^(C)God has given judgment for you against her!”
