Revelation 18:17-19
Holman Christian Standard Bible
17 for in a single hour[a]
such fabulous wealth was destroyed!
And every shipmaster, seafarer, the sailors, and all who do business by sea, stood far off 18 as they watched the smoke from her burning and kept crying out: “Who is like the great city?”(A) 19 They threw dust on their heads and kept crying out, weeping, and mourning:(B)
Woe, woe, the great city,(C)
where all those who have ships on the sea
became rich from her wealth,
for in a single hour[b] she was destroyed.

King James Version
17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
18 And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!
19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.
