Revelation 18:16-18

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁶ Alas, alas for the great city that was robed in fine linen, in purple and scarlet, bedecked and glittering with gold, with precious stones, and with pearls!^(A)

¹⁷ Because in one [single] hour all the vast wealth has been destroyed (wiped out). And all ship captains and pilots, navigators and all who live by seafaring, the crews and all who ply their trade on the sea, stood a long way off,^(B)

¹⁸ And exclaimed as they watched the smoke of her burning, What city could be compared to the great city!
