Wahyu 17:18

17:18 As for ¹  the woman you saw, she is the great city that has sovereignty over the kings of the earth.”

Wahyu 18:16

18:16 saying,

“Woe, woe, O great city –

dressed in fine linen, purple and scarlet clothing, ² 

and adorned with gold, ³  precious stones, and pearls –

[17:18]  ¹ tn Grk “And.” Because this remark is somewhat resumptive in nature, “as for” is used in the translation.

[18:16]  ² tn The word “clothing” is supplied to clarify that the words “purple” and “scarlet” refer to cloth or garments rather than colors.

[18:16]  ³ tn Grk “gilded with gold” (an instance of semantic reinforcement, see L&N 49.29).
