17 Every Sea Captain,
And All who Travel by Ship,
The Sailors,
And All who Earn their Living
From the Sea,
Will Stand Far Off.
18 When they see
The Smoke of her Burning,
They will Exclaim,
‘WAS THERE EVER A CITY
LIKE THIS GREAT CITY?’
19 They will Throw Dust on their Heads,
AND WITH WEEPING AN MOURNING
CRY OUT:
“WOE TO YOU, GREAT CITY,
WHERE ALL WHO HAD SHIPS ON THE SEA
BECAME RICH THROUGH HER WEALTH!
IN ONE HOUR
SHE HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO RUIN!’
20 REJOICE OVER HER, YOU HEAVENS!
REJOICE, YOU PEOPLE OF GOD!
REJOICE, APOSTLES AND PROPHETS!
FOR GOD HAS JUDGED HER
WITH THE JUDGMENT
SHE IMPOSE ON YOU.”
(Revelation 18:17-20, NIV)
