Revelation 18:11-16

11And the merchants of the earth weep and mourn for her, because no one buys their merchandise anymore—

12shipments of gold, silver, precious stones, and pearls; fine linen, purple, silk, and scarlet; all kinds of citron wood; all kinds of ivory products; all kinds of products made of costly wood, bronze, iron, and marble;

13cinnamon, spice, incense, myrrh, and frankincense; wine, oil, fine flour, and wheat; cattle, sheep, horses, and chariots; and slaves—that is, human souls.

14The fruit of your soul’s desire has gone from you, and all the expensive and beautiful things are lost to you —never again will people find them.

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

16saying, “Alas, alas, O great city— clothed in fine linen and purple and scarlet, adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls!
