“And the merchants of the earth will
weep and mourn over her, for no one buys their merchandise anymore; merchandise
of gold and silver, precious stones and pearls, fine linen and purple, silk and
scarlet, every kind of citron wood, every kind of object of ivory, every kind
of object of most precious wood, bronze, iron, and marble; and cinnamon and
incense, fragrant oil and frankincense, wine and oil, fine flour and wheat,
cattle and sheep, horses and chariots, and bodies and souls of men.
- · Those who have most indulged themselves in pride and pleasure are the least able to bear calamities. (MH)
- · The cause of their mourning: not their sin, but their punishment – the wealth and merchandise of this city which was suddenly lost (MH)
Ezekiel 17:17 Your riches, wares, and merchandise, your
mariners and pilots, your caulkers and merchandisers, all your men of war who
are in you, and the entire company which is in your midst, will fall into the
midst of the seas on the day of your ruin.
Isaiah 23:9 The LORD of hosts has purposed it, to bring
to dishonor the pride of all glory, to bring into contempt all the honorable of
the earth.
