Violence has risen up for a rod of wickedness. None of them shall remain, nor of their multitude, nor of any of their riches; nor shall there be wailing for them.

And they shall plunder your riches, and make a prey of your merchandise. And they shall break down your walls and destroy your desirable houses. And they shall lay your stones and your timber and your dust in the midst of the water.

Damascus was your merchant in the multitude of your works, from the multitude of all riches, in the wine of Helbon, and white wool.

Your riches, and your wares, your goods, your seamen, and your sailors reinforcing your seams, and the traders of your goods, and all your men of war, who are in you, and all your company which is in your midst, shall fall into the heart of the seas in the day of your ruin.

When your goods went out from the seas, you filled many people. With the plenty of your riches and your goods you enriched the kings of the earth.

With your wisdom and with your understanding you have made riches for yourselves, and have worked gold and silver into your treasuries.

By your great wisdom and by your trade you have multiplied your riches, and your heart is lifted up because of your riches.
