Revelation 18:15-19

15The 1merchants of 2these things, who became rich from her, will 3stand at a distance because of the fear of her torment, weeping and mourning,

16saying, ‘4Woe, woe, 5the great city, she who 6was clothed in fine linen and purple and scarlet, and 7adorned with gold and precious 8stones and pearls;

17for in 9one hour such great wealth has been laid 10waste!’ And 11every shipmaster and every 12passenger and sailor, and as many as make their living by the sea, 13stood at a distance,

18and were 14crying out as they 15saw the smoke of her burning, saying, ‘16What city is like 17the great city?’

19And they threw 18dust on their heads and were crying out, weeping and mourning, saying, ‘19Woe, woe, the great city, in which all who had ships at sea 20became rich by her 21wealth, for in 22one hour she has been laid 23waste!’
