Revelation 18:9-14

9Then the kings of the earth who committed sexual immorality and lived in luxury with her will weep and wail at the sight of the smoke rising from the fire that consumes her.1 10In fear of her torment, they will stand at a distance and cry out:

“Woe, woe to the great city,the mighty city of Babylon!For in a single houryour judgment has come.”

11And the merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her, because there is no one left to buy their cargo— 12cargo of gold, silver, precious stones, and pearls; of fine linen, purple, silk, and scarlet; of all kinds of citron wood and every article of ivory, precious wood, bronze, iron, and marble; 13of cinnamon, spice, incense, myrrh, and frankincense; of wine, olive oil, fine flour, and wheat; of cattle, sheep, horses, and carriages; of bodies and souls of slaves. 14And they will say:2

“The fruit of your soul’s desirehas departed from you;all your luxury and splendor have vanished,never to be seen again.”
