“Woe, woe, O great city,

Babylon the powerful city!

For in a single hour your doom¹³ has come!”

¹tn Aram “were standing before him.”

²tn Aram “judgment sat.”

³tc The LXX and Theodotion lack the words “I was watching” here. It is possible that these words in the MT are a dittography from the first part of the verse.

⁴tn Aram “and given over to” (so NRSV).

⁵tn Aram “judgment will sit” (KJV similar).

⁷tn Grk “For this reason, her plagues will come.”

⁸tn Grk “death.” θάνατος (qanatos) can in particular contexts refer to a manner of death, specifically a contagious disease (see BDAG 443 s.v. 3; L&N 23.158).

⁹tn This is the same Greek word (πένθος, penqo") translated “grief” in vv. 7-8.

¹⁰tn Here “burned down” was used to translate κατακαυθήσεται (katakauqhsetai) because a city is in view.

¹⁰tn On the term ἐστρηνίασεν (estrhniasen) BDAG 949 s.v. στρηνιάω states, “live in luxury, live sensually Rv 18:7. W. πορνεύειν vs. 9.”

¹¹tn Grk “from the burning of her.” For the translation “the smoke from the fire that burns her up,” see L&N 14.63.

¹³tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the introduction of an unexpected development in the account: The opposing armies do not come together in battle; rather the leader of one side is captured.

¹⁴tn For this meaning see BDAG 342 s.v. ἐνώπιον 4.b, “by the authority of, on behalf of Rv 13:12, 14; 19:20.”

¹⁵tn Traditionally, “brimstone.”

¹⁵tn Or “misled.”

¹⁷tn The verb in this clause is elided.
