Revelation 18:9-14

9“And 1the kings of the earth, who committed acts of immorality and 2lived 3sensuously with her, will 4weep and lament over her when they 5see the smoke of her burning, 106standing at a distance because of the fear of her torment, saying, ‘7Woe, woe, 8the great city, Babylon, the strong city! For in 9one hour your judgment has come.’

11“And the 10merchants of the earth 11weep and mourn over her, because no one buys their cargoes any more-- 12cargoes of 12gold and silver and precious 13stones 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 14bronze and iron and marble, 13and cinnamon and 15spice 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 16slaves and 1718human lives. 14The fruit 19you 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.
