'Afar' in the Bible

while they stand afar off because of their terror at her heavy punishment, and say, 'Alas, alas, thou great city, O Babylon, the mighty city! For in one short hour thy doom has come!'

Those who traded in these things, who grew wealthy through her, will stand afar off, struck with terror at her punishment,

stood afar off, and cried aloud when they saw the smoke of her burning. And they said, 'What city is like this great city?'
