Apocalipsis 18:11 Meaning and Commentary

Revelation 18:11

And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over
over her Who these are, (See Gill on Revelation 18:3) and, what their lamentation, ( Revelation 18:16 ) the reason of their weeping and mourning follows: for no man buyeth their merchandise any more; what their merchandise is, is expressed in the two next verses; and this shows that it is not to be understood merely in a literal sense; for such commodities in general as are there mentioned, if they do not sell at one place, they will at another; and the decline of trade in one city does not put a stop to business all the world over; and often so it is, that the ruin of commerce in one place is the rise of it in another; and all the things hereafter spoken of, excepting the last article, are what will be merchandised in one place or another to the end of the world; unless the sense should be, that no man at Rome, and the parts adjacent, will buy of this merchandise any more; but though they should not, this could not be cause of such lamentation as is afterwards expressed, since their goods might be sold elsewhere; but it looks as if this must be understood of such kind of wares as will be disused and despised all the world over, and they will meet with no customers any where to deal with them in them.

Apocalipsis 18:11 In-Context

9 Y los reyes del mundo que cometieron adulterio con ella y disfrutaron de todos sus lujos, se lamentarán por ella cuando vean el humo que sube de sus restos carbonizados.

10 Aterrorizados por su gran tormento, los reyes del mundo se mantendrán a distancia y clamarán:
«¡Qué terrible, qué terrible para ti,
oh Babilonia, tú, gran ciudad!
En un solo instante
el juicio de Dios cayó sobre ti».

11 Los comerciantes del mundo llorarán y se lamentarán por ella, porque ya no queda nadie que les compre sus mercaderías.

12 Ella compró grandes cantidades de oro, plata, joyas y perlas; lino de la más alta calidad, púrpura, seda y tela de color escarlata; objetos hechos con la fragante madera de alerce, artículos de marfil y objetos hechos con madera costosa; y bronce, hierro y mármol.

13 También compró canela, especias, especias aromáticas, mirra, incienso, vino, aceite de oliva, harina refinada, trigo, ganado, ovejas, caballos, carruajes y cuerpos, es decir, esclavos humanos.
