18:14-16
The traders and merchants will stand askance. For the luxury and splendour of Babylon will have vanished in a moment. The traders will be terrified. The city which once looked so great, so rich, so permanent will have come to nothing.
18:17-19
“In one hour ...”. The collapse happened suddenly. The collapse will cause people to remember how great she once seemed, and how complete the collapse is. Everyone is affected. The rulers of the nations, the traders and the sea traders. Their power and wealth were all dependent upon Babylon, so would collapse along with the city.
