Description:'And the kings of (the) Earth who committed vice and wantoned with her shall weep and wail over her, as they watch the smoke of her burning: far off, for fear of her tortures shall they stand, crying,
"Woe and alas, thou great city! thou strong city of Babylon! In one brief hour thy doom has come."
And all the traders of (the) Earth shall weep and wail over her;... And all the shipmasters and seafaring folk, sailors and all whose business lies upon the sea, stood far off as they watched the smoke of her burning, crying,....
"Woe and alas for the great City, where all shipmen made rich profit by her treasures! Gone, gone in a single hour!"
O heaven, rejoice over her! Saints, apostles, prophets, rejoice! For God has avenged you on her now. For the magnates of (the) Earth were thy traders; all nations were seduced by thy magic spells. And in her was found the blood of prophets and saints, of all who were slain upon Earth.'
(Revelations Ch.18, 9-24 in the Moffat translation).
