“The merchants of these things, who
became rich by her, will stand at a distance for fear of her torment, weeping
and wailing, and saying, ‘Alas, alas, that great city that was clothed in fine
linen, purple, and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and
pearls!
- · So great is the heat and smoke of her burning that these kings must stand at a distance. (DG)
- · “With a touch of grim humour he paints them as standing at a safe distance from the conflagration, and contenting themselves with idle lamentations.” (Swete)
Nahum 3:16 You have multiplied your merchants more than
the stars of heaven. The locust plunders
and flies away.
Numbers 24:23 …Alas!
Who shall live when God does this?
