has gone from you,
and all your delicacies and your splendors
are lost to you,
never to be found again!”
15 ^kThe merchants of these wares, who gained wealth from her, ^lwill stand far off, in fear of her torment, weeping and mourning aloud,

16 “Alas, alas, for the great city
^mthat was clothed in fine linen,
in purple and scarlet,
adorned with gold,
with jewels, and with pearls!
17 For ⁿin a single hour all this wealth ^ohas been laid waste.”
And ^pall shipmasters and seafaring men, sailors and all whose trade is on the sea, stood far off 18 and ^qcried out ^ras they saw the smoke of her burning,

^s“What city was like the great city?”
19 And they threw ^tdust on their heads as they wept and mourned, crying out,

“Alas, alas, for the great city
^uwhere all who had ships at sea
grew rich by her wealth!
For ^vin a single hour she has been laid waste.
