18:9 Then 1 the kings of the earth who committed immoral acts with her and lived in sensual luxury 2 with her will weep and wail for her when they see the smoke from the fire that burns her up. 3 18:10 They will stand a long way off because they are afraid of her torment, and will say,
“Woe, woe, O great city,
Babylon the powerful city!
For in a single hour your doom 4 has come!”
18:11 Then 5 the merchants of the earth will weep and mourn for her because no one buys their cargo 6 any longer – 18:12 cargo such as gold, silver, 7 precious stones, pearls, fine linen, purple cloth, silk, 8 scarlet cloth, 9 all sorts of things made of citron wood, 10 all sorts of objects made of ivory, all sorts of things made of expensive wood, bronze, iron and marble, 18:13 cinnamon, spice, 11 incense, perfumed ointment, 12 frankincense, 13 wine, olive oil and costly flour, 14 wheat, cattle and sheep, horses and four-wheeled carriages, 15 slaves and human lives. 16
