16 “Alas, alas, for the great city
    (A)that was clothed in fine linen,
        in purple and scarlet,
    adorned with gold,
        with jewels, and with pearls!
17 For (B)in a single hour all this wealth (C)has been laid waste.”

(G)“What city was like the great city?”

19 And they threw (H)dust on their heads as they wept and mourned, crying out,

“Alas, alas, for the great city
    (I)where all who had ships at sea
    grew rich by her wealth!
For (J)in a single hour she has been laid waste.
