11. The merchants of the earth will also weep and mourn over her, because no one buys their merchandise any longer —
12. merchandise of gold, silver, precious stones, and pearls; fine fabrics of linen, purple, silk, and scarlet; all kinds of fragrant wood products; objects of ivory; objects of expensive wood, brass, iron, and marble;
13. cinnamon, spice, incense, myrrh, and frankincense; wine, olive oil, fine wheat flour, and grain; cattle and sheep; horses and carriages; and slaves and human lives.
14. The fruit you craved has left you.All your splendid and glamorous things are gone;they will never find them again.
15. The merchants of these things, who became rich from her, will stand far off in fear of her torment, weeping and mourning,
16. saying:Woe, woe, the great city,dressed in fine linen, purple, and scarlet,adorned with gold, precious stones, and pearls,
17. for in a single hour such fabulous wealth was destroyed!And every shipmaster, seafarer, the sailors, and all who do business by sea, stood far off
18. as they watched the smoke from her burning and kept crying out: “Who is like the great city? ”
19. They threw dust on their heads and kept crying out, weeping, and mourning: Woe, woe, the great city, where all those who have ships on the seabecame rich from her wealth,for in a single hour she was destroyed.
20. Rejoice over her, heaven,and you saints, apostles, and prophets, because God has executed your judgment on her!
