Revelation 18:12-18

12cargo of gold, silver, jewels, and pearls; fine linen, purple, silk, and scarlet; all kinds of fragrant wood products; objects of ivory; objects of expensive wood, brass, iron, and marble;

13cinnamon, spice, incense, myrrh, and frankincense; wine, olive oil, fine flour, and grain; cattle and sheep; horses and carriages; and slaves — human lives.

14The fruit you craved has left you. All your splendid and glamorous things are gone; they will never find them again.

15The merchants of these things, who became rich from her, will stand far off in fear of her torment, weeping and mourning,

16saying, Woe, woe, the great city, dressed in fine linen, purple, and scarlet, adorned with gold, jewels, and pearls;

17for in a single hour such fabulous wealth was destroyed! And every shipmaster, seafarer, the sailors, and all who do business by sea, stood far off

18as they watched the smoke from her burning and kept crying out, “Who was like the great city?”
