“Woe, woe, O great city –
dressed in fine linen, purple and scarlet clothing, 1
and adorned with gold, 2 precious stones, and pearls –
“Salvation belongs to our God, 3
to the one seated on the throne, and to the Lamb!”
1 tn The word “clothing” is supplied to clarify that the words “purple” and “scarlet” refer to cloth or garments rather than colors.
2 tn Grk “gilded with gold” (an instance of semantic reinforcement, see L&N 49.29).
3 tn The dative here has been translated as a dative of possession.
