MLV(i)
11 And the merchants of the earth will weep and will mourn over her, because no one is buying their cargo anymore;
12 cargo of gold, silver, precious stone, pearl, fine-linen, purple, silk, scarlet, every citron wood thing, every vessel of ivory, every vessel made out of the most precious wood and from brass, iron and marble;
13 and cinnamon, spice, incenses, perfume, frankincense, wine, oil, fine-flour, grain, sheep, other animals, and of horses and of chariots and of bodies and souls of men.
14 And the autumn-fruits of lust of your soul have gone away from you and all things which were luxurious and bright have perished from you and you may never find them anymore.
15 The merchants of these things, who were enriched from her, will be standing from afar because of the fear of her torment, while weeping and mourning.
16 And they are saying, Woe, woe, the great city, she who has been dressed in fine-linen, and purple and scarlet and has been arrayed in gold, precious stone and pearls!
17 Because in an hour so-many riches was made desolate. And every helmsman and everyone who sails any place and sailors and as many as are working from the sea, stood from afar,
18 and were crying out, seeing the smoke of her fire, saying, What city is similar to the great city?
19 And they cast dirt upon their heads and were crying, weeping and mourning and saying, Woe, woe, the great city, in which all who had their ships in the sea were enriched out of her costliness! Because in one hour she was made desolate.
20 Be joyous over her: heaven and the holy-ones and the apostles and the prophets, because God has judged your condemnation from her
.
21 And a strong messenger took up a stone like a great millstone and cast it into the sea, saying, So Babylon, the great city, will be cast down, with a violent-impulse, and may never be found anymore. 22 And the voice of harpists and musicians and flute-players and trumpeters may never be heard in you anymore, and every craftsman of every craft may never be found in you anymore, and the voice of a millstone may never be heard in you anymore; 23 and the light of a lamp may never appear in you anymore, and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride may never be heard in you anymore. Your merchants were the great-men of the earth, because all the nations were misled in your sorcery. 24 And the bloods of prophets and of holy-ones and of all who have been slaughtered upon the earth was found in her.
