11“And the 1merchantsG1713 of the earthG1093 2weepG2799 and mournG3996 overG1909 her, becauseG3754 noG3762 oneG3762 buysG59 their cargoesG1117 anyG3765 moreG3765--

12cargoesG1117 of 3goldG5557 and silverG696 and preciousG5093 4stonesG3037 and pearlsG3135 and fineG1039 linenG1039 and purpleG4209 and silkG4596 and scarletG2847, and everyG3956 kind of citronG2367 woodG3586 and everyG3956 articleG4632 of ivoryG1661 and everyG3956 articleG4632 made from veryG5093 costlyG5093 woodG3586 and 5bronzeG5475 and ironG4604 and marbleG3139,

13and cinnamonG2796 and 6spiceG299 and incenseG2368 and perfumeG3464 and frankincenseG3030 and wineG3631 and oliveG1637 oilG1637 and fineG4585 flourG4585 and wheatG4621 and cattleG2934 and sheepG4263, and cargoes of horsesG2462 and chariotsG4480 and 7slavesG4983 and 89humanG444 livesG5590.

14The fruitG3703 10you longG1939 for has goneG565 from you, and allG3956 things that were luxuriousG3045 and splendidG2986 have passedG622 awayG622 from you and men will noG3765 longerG3765 findG2147 them.

15The 11merchantsG1713 of 12theseG3778 thingsG3778, who became richG4147 from her, will 13standG2476 at a distanceG3113 becauseG1223 of the fearG5401 of her tormentG929, weepingG2799 and mourningG3996,

16sayingG3004, ‘14WoeG3759, woeG3759, 15the greatG3173 cityG4172, she who 16was clothedG4016 in fineG1039 linenG1039 and purpleG4210 and scarletG2847, and 17adornedG5558 with goldG5553 and preciousG5093 18stonesG3037 and pearlsG3135;

17for in 19oneG1520 hourG5610 suchG5118 greatG5118 wealthG4149 has been laidG2049 20wasteG2049!’ And 21everyG3956 shipmasterG2942 and everyG3956 22passengerG1909G5117G4126 and sailorG3492, and as manyG3745 as makeG2038 their livingG2038 by the seaG2281, 23stoodG2476 at a distanceG3113,

18and were 24cryingG2896 out as they 25sawG991 the smokeG2586 of her burningG4451, sayingG3004, ‘26WhatG5101 city is likeG3664 27the greatG3173 cityG4172?’

19And they threwG906 28dustG5529 on their headsG2776 and were cryingG2896 out, weepingG2799 and mourningG3996, sayingG3004, ‘29WoeG3759, woeG3759, the greatG3173 cityG4172, in whichG3739 allG3956 who hadG2192 shipsG4143 at seaG2281 30became richG4147 by her 31wealthG5094, for in 32oneG1520 hourG5610 she has been laidG2049 33wasteG2049!’
