Wahyu 18:15-16

18:15 The merchants who sold ¹  these things, who got rich from her, will stand a long way off because they are afraid of her torment. They will weep ²  and mourn, 18:16 saying,

“Woe, woe, O great city –

dressed in fine linen, purple and scarlet clothing, ³ 

and adorned with gold, ⁴  precious stones, and pearls –

[18:15]  ¹ tn Grk “the merchants [sellers] of these things.”

[18:15]  ² tn Grk “her torment, weeping.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started in the translation by supplying the words “They will” here.

[18:16]  ³ tn The word “clothing” is supplied to clarify that the words “purple” and “scarlet” refer to cloth or garments rather than colors.

[18:16]  ⁴ tn Grk “gilded with gold” (an instance of semantic reinforcement, see L&N 49.29).
