Revelation 18:15-19

New King James Version

¹⁵ The merchants of these things, who became rich by her, will stand at a distance for fear of her torment, weeping and wailing, ¹⁶ and saying, ‘Alas, alas, ^(A)that great city ^(B)that was clothed in fine linen, purple, and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls! ^17 (C)For in one hour such great riches ^[a]came to nothing.’ ^(D)Every shipmaster, all who travel by ship, sailors, and as many as trade on the sea, stood at a distance ^18 (E)and cried out when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, ^(F)‘What is like this great city?’

^19 (G)“They threw dust on their heads and cried out, weeping and wailing, and saying, ‘Alas, alas, that great city, in which all who had ships on the sea became rich by her wealth! ^(H)For in one hour she ^[b]is made desolate.’
