Revelation 18:17

17 in one hour such wealth wiped out!

Revelation 18:17 In-Context

15 "The traders who made millions off her kept their distance for fear of getting burned, and cried and carried on all the more:
16 Doom, doom, the great city doomed! Dressed in the latest fashions, adorned with the finest jewels,
17 in one hour such wealth wiped out!
18 and cried their lament when they saw the smoke from her burning: 'Oh, what a city! There was never a city like her!'
19 They threw dust on their heads and cried as if the world had come to an end: Doom, doom, the great city doomed! All who owned ships or did business by sea Got rich on her getting and spending. And now it's over - wiped out in one hour!
