Revelation 18:12-18
12cargoes of 1gold and silver and precious 2stones and pearls and fine linen and purple and silk and scarlet, and every kind of citron wood and every article of ivory and every article made from very costly wood and 3bronze and iron and marble,
13and cinnamon and 4spice and incense and perfume and frankincense and wine and olive oil and fine flour and wheat and cattle and sheep, and cargoes of horses and chariots and 5slaves and 67human lives.
14The fruit 8you long for has gone from you, and all things that were luxurious and splendid have passed away from you and men will no longer find them.
15The 9merchants of 10these things, who became rich from her, will 11stand at a distance because of the fear of her torment, weeping and mourning,
16saying, ‘12Woe, woe, 13the great city, she who 14was clothed in fine linen and purple and scarlet, and 15adorned with gold and precious 16stones and pearls;
17for in 17one hour such great wealth has been laid 18waste!’ And 19every shipmaster and every 20passenger and sailor, and as many as make their living by the sea, 21stood at a distance,
18and were 22crying out as they 23saw the smoke of her burning, saying, ‘24What city is like 25the great city?’
