17
for in a single hour(a)
such fabulous wealth was destroyed!


And every shipmaster, seafarer, the sailors, and all who do business by sea, stood far off
18 as they watched the smoke from her burning and kept crying out: “Who is like the great city?”(A) 19 They threw dust on their heads and kept crying out, weeping, and mourning:(B)

Woe, woe, the great city,(C)
where all those who have ships on the sea
became rich from her wealth,
for in a single hour(b) she was destroyed.
