Revelation 18:16-19

English Standard Version

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!
¹⁷For ^(B)in a single hour all this wealth ^(C)has been laid waste.”

And ^(D)all shipmasters and seafaring men, sailors and all whose trade is on the sea, stood far off ¹⁸and ^(E)cried out ^(F)as they saw the smoke of her burning,

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

¹⁹And 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.
