Revelation

¹⁴(The ripe fruit you greatly desiredhas gone from you,and all your luxury and splendorhave gone from you – they will never ever be found again!) ¹⁵The merchants who sold these things, who got rich from her, will stand a long way off because they are afraid of her torment. They will weep and mourn, ¹⁶saying, “Woe, woe, O great city – dressed in fine linen, purple and scarlet clothing,and adorned with gold, precious stones, and pearls – ¹⁷because in a single hour such great wealth has been destroyed!”And every ship’s captain, and all who sail along the coast – seamen, and all who make their living from the sea, stood a long way off ¹⁸and began to shout when they saw the smoke from the fire that burned her up, “Who is like the great city?” ¹⁹And they threw dust on their heads and were shouting with weeping and mourning, “Woe, Woe, O great city – in which all those who had ships on the sea got rich from her wealth – because in a single hour she has been destroyed!” ²⁰(Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you saints and apostles and prophets,for God has pronounced judgment against her on your behalf!)
