11 the merchants of the earth shall bewail and mourn over her, because there are none to purchase their cargo:
12 their gold, and silver, precious stones, and pearls, fine linnen, and purple, their silk, scarlet, and all sort of citron wood, their various vessels of ivory, and of precious wood, of brass, iron, and marble:
13 nor their cinnamon, perfumes, essences, and frankincense; nor their wine, oil, fine flour, and wheat; their cattle, sheep, horses, and chariots; nor the servile souls of men.
14 the fruits, the object of your delight, are departed from thee, all your delicacy and magnificence are lost, beyond the possibility of a recovery! the merchants
15 of these wares who were enrich'd by her, shall stand afar off, under the dread of her torments, with tears and lamentations,
16 crying, alas, alas, that great city, that was cloathed in fine linnen, purple, and scarlet: decked with gold, precious stones and pearls:
17 her wealth is all sunk in a moment! the pilots and the passengers: the ships-crew, and the super-cargo's shall stand afar off,
18 and cry out, when they see the smoke of her burning, what city could be compar'd to this great city?
