Revelation 18:17 in Context — Revelation 18

15 Les marchands de ces choses, qui se sont enrichis par elle, se tiendront éloignés, dans la crainte de son tourment; ils pleureront et seront dans le deuil,

16 et diront: Malheur! Malheur! La grande ville, qui était vêtue de fin lin, de pourpre et d’écarlate, et parée d’or, de pierres précieuses et de perles! En une seule heure tant de richesses ont été détruites!

17 Et tous les pilotes, tous ceux qui naviguent vers ce lieu, les marins, et tous ceux qui exploitent la mer, se tenaient éloignés,

18 et ils s’écriaient, en voyant la fumée de son embrasement: Quelle ville était semblable à la grande ville?

19 Et ils jetaient de la poussière sur leurs têtes, ils pleuraient et ils étaient dans le deuil, ils criaient et disaient: Malheur! Malheur! La grande ville, où se sont enrichis par son opulence tous ceux qui ont des navires sur la mer, en une seule heure elle a été détruite!
