Revelation 18:16 in Context — Revelation 18
14 Y los frutos del deseo de tu alma se apartaron de ti; y todas las cosas gruesas y excelentes te han faltado, y nunca más las hallarás.
15 Los mercaderes de estas cosas, que se han enriquecido, se pondrán lejos de ella por el temor de su tormento, llorando y lamentando,
16 Y diciendo: ¡Ay, ay, aquella gran ciudad, que estaba vestida de lino fino, y de escarlata, y de grana, y estaba dorada con oro, y [adornada] de piedras preciosas y de perlas!
17 Porque en una hora han sido desoladas tantas riquezas. Y todo patrón, y todos los que viajan en naves, y marineros, y todos los que trabajan en el mar, se estuvieron lejos;
18 Y viendo el humo de su incendio, dieron voces, diciendo: ¿Qué [ciudad] era semejante á esta gran ciudad?
