¹⁰ “^(B)Persia, ^(C)Lud, and ^(D)Put were in your army, your men of war. They hung up shield and helmet on you; they presented your splendor. ¹¹ The sons of Arvad and your army were on your walls, all around, and the ^[a]Gammadim were in your towers. They hung their shields on your walls all around; they perfected your beauty.

¹² “Tarshish was your customer because of the abundance of all kinds of wealth; with silver, iron, tin, and lead they paid for your merchandise. ^13 (E)Javan, ^(F)Tubal, and ^(G)Meshech, they were your traders; with human ^(H)lives and vessels of bronze they paid for your merchandise. ¹⁴ Those from ^(I)Beth-togarmah gave horses, war horses, and mules for your merchandise. ¹⁵ The sons of ^(J)Dedan were your traders. Many coastlands were ^[b]your market; they brought ^(K)ivory tusks and ebony as your payment. ^16 (L)Aram was your customer because of the abundance of your ^[c]goods; they paid for your merchandise with ^[d](M)emeralds, purple, ^(N)colorfully woven cloth, fine linen, coral, and rubies. ¹⁷ Judah and the land of Israel, they were your traders; with the wheat of ^(O)Minnith, ^[e]cakes, honey, oil, and balsam they paid for your merchandise. ^18 (P)Damascus was your customer because of the abundance of your ^[f]goods, because of the abundance of all kinds of wealth, because of the wine of Helbon and white wool. ¹⁹ Vedan and Javan paid for your merchandise from Uzal; wrought iron, cassia, and spice reed were among your merchandise. ^20 (Q)Dedan traded with you in saddlecloths for riding. ^21 (R)Arabia and all the princes of Kedar, they were ^[g]your customers for ^(S)lambs, rams, and goats; for these they were your customers. ²² The traders of ^(T)Sheba and Raamah, they traded with you; they paid for your merchandise with the best of all ^(U)balsam oil, and with all kinds of precious stones, and gold. ²³ Haran, Canneh, ^(V)Eden, the traders of Sheba, Asshur, and Chilmad traded with you. ²⁴ They traded with you in choice garments, in clothes of violet and colorfully woven cloth, and in blankets of two colors, and tightly wound cords, which were among your merchandise. ²⁵ The ^(W)ships of Tarshish were ^[h]the carriers for your merchandise.

³ For all the nations have fallen because of the ^(A)wine of the passion of her sexual immorality, and ^(B)the kings of the earth have committed acts of sexual immorality with her, and the ^(C)merchants of the earth have become rich from the ^[a]excessive wealth of her ^[b](D)luxury.”

¹⁵ The ^(A)merchants of ^(B)these things, who became rich from her, will ^(C)stand at a distance because of the fear of her torment, weeping and mourning,

¹⁹ And they threw ^(A)dust on their heads and were crying out, weeping and mourning, saying, ‘^(B)Woe, woe, the great city, in which all who had ships at sea ^(C)became rich from her prosperity, for in ^(D)one hour she has been laid ^(E)waste!’

²³ and the light of a lamp will never shine in you again; and the ^(A)voice of the groom and bride will never be heard in you again; for your ^(B)merchants were the powerful people of the earth, because all the nations were deceived ^(C)by your witchcraft.
