And the wholesale merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for their cargo will none purchase more: The cargo of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all fir wood, and every ivory vessel, and every vessel of precious wood, and of iron, and brass, and marble, And cinnamon, and perfumes, and ointment, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and the finest wheat flour, and wheat, and cattle, and sheep, and of horses, and of chariots, and of bodies, and of souls of men, And the harvest fruit of the eager desire of thy soul departed from thee, and all fat and brilliant things departed from thee, and thou shouldest find them no more. The wholesale merchants of these things, having been rich from her, shall stand from far off for fear of her torture, weeping and mourning, And saying, Woe, woe, the great city, surrounded with fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and adorned with gold, and precious stones, and pearls! for in one hour was so great riches laid waste. And every pilot, and all the crowd upon ships, and the sailors, and as many as work the sea, stood from far off, And cried, seeing the smoke of her burning, saying, What like the great city! And they cast earth upon their heads, and cried, weeping and mourning, saying, Woe, woe, the great city, in which all having ships in the sea were rich by her value! for in one hour was she rendered a desert. Rejoice over her, O heaven, and the holy sent, and the prophets; for God judged your judgment of her.

And in her was found the blood of the prophets, and of the holy, and of all those slain upon the earth.
