Revelation 18:16 in Context — Revelation 18

14 E o fruto do mau desejo de tua alma foi embora de ti; e todas as coisas deliciosas e excelentes foram embora de ti; e tu não mais as acharás.

15 Os comerciantes dessas coisas, que por ela se enriqueceram, estarão de longe por medo do tormento dela, chorando e lamentando,

16 E dizendo: ‘Ai, ai daquela grande cidade, que estava vestida de linho fino, e púrpura, e escarlate; e adornada com ouro, pedras preciosas, e pérolas! Porque em uma hora tantas riquezas foram assoladas.’

17 E todo capitão de embarcação, e todos da multidão que [estavam] em barcos, e marinheiros, e todos os que trabalham no mar, se puseram de longe;

18 e vendo a fumaça da queima dela, clamaram, dizendo: ‘[Havia] algo comparável a esta grande cidade?’
