Revelation 18:13-18
English Standard Version
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 (A)The merchants of these wares, who gained wealth from her, (B)will stand far off, in fear of her torment, weeping and mourning aloud,
16 “Alas, alas, for the great city
(C)that was clothed in fine linen,
in purple and scarlet,
adorned with gold,
with jewels, and with pearls!
17 For (D)in a single hour all this wealth (E)has been laid waste.”
And (F)all shipmasters and seafaring men, sailors and all whose trade is on the sea, stood far off 18 and (G)cried out (H)as they saw the smoke of her burning,
(I)“What city was like the great city?”
