11 “The merchants of the earth cry and mourn over her, because no one buys their cargo anymore.
12 No one buys their cargo of gold, silver, gems, pearls, fine linen, purple cloth, silk, bright red cloth, all kinds of citron wood, articles made of ivory and very costly wood, bronze, iron, marble,
13 cinnamon, spices, incense, perfume, frankincense, wine, olive oil, flour, wheat, cattle, sheep, horses, wagons, slaves (that is, humans).
14 ‘The fruit you craved is gone.All your luxuries and your splendor have disappeared.No one will ever find them again.’
15 “Frightened by her torture, the merchants who had become rich by selling these things will stand far away. They will cry and mourn,
16 saying,‘How horrible, how horrible for that important citywhich was wearing fine linen, purple clothes,bright red clothes, gold jewelry, gems, and pearls.
17 In one moment all this wealth has been destroyed!’Every ship’s captain, everyone who traveled by ship, sailors, and everyone who made their living from the sea stood far away.
