Woe, woe, the great city,
Babylon, the mighty city!
For in a single hour^[a]
your judgment has come.

Woe, woe, the great city,
dressed in fine linen, purple, and scarlet,
adorned with gold, precious stones, and pearls,

Woe, woe, the great city,^(B)
where all those who have ships on the sea
became rich from her wealth,
for in a single hour^[a] she was destroyed.

In this way, Babylon the great city
will be thrown down violently^(B)
and never be found again.^(C)
