“Woe, woe, O great city,
Babylon the powerful city!
For in a single hour your doom 1 has come!”
18:15 The merchants who sold 2 these things, who got rich from her, will stand a long way off because they are afraid of her torment. They will weep 3 and mourn, 18:16 saying,
“Woe, woe, O great city –
dressed in fine linen, purple and scarlet clothing, 4
and adorned with gold, 5 precious stones, and pearls –
“Woe, Woe, O great city –
in which all those who had ships on the sea got rich from her wealth –
because in a single hour she has been destroyed!” 7
