Revelation 18:11–15
11And the merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her, because there is no one left to buy their cargo — 12cargo of gold, silver, precious stones, and pearls; of fine linen, purple, silk, and scarlet; of all kinds of citron wood and every article of ivory, precious wood, bronze, iron, and marble; 13of cinnamon, spice, incense, myrrh, and frankincense; of wine, olive oil, fine flour, and wheat; of cattle, sheep, horses, and carriages; of bodies and souls of slaves. 14And they will say:f
“The fruit of your soul’s desire
has departed from you;
all your luxury and splendor have vanished,
never to be seen again.”
15The merchants who sold these things and gained their wealth from her will stand at a distance, in fear of her torment. They will weep and mourn,
