Revelation 17:13
Context17:13 These kings 1 have a single intent, and they will give their power and authority to the beast.
Revelation 18:19
Context18:19 And they threw dust on their heads and were shouting with weeping and mourning, 2
“Woe, Woe, O great city –
in which all those who had ships on the sea got rich from her wealth –
because in a single hour she has been destroyed!” 3


[17:13] 1 tn The word “kings” is not in the Greek text, but has been supplied to clarify the referent.
[18:19] 2 tn Grk “with weeping and mourning, saying.” Here the participle λέγοντες (legontes) has not been translated because it is redundant in contemporary English.
[18:19] 3 tn On ἡρημώθη (Jhrhmwqh) L&N 20.41 states, “to suffer destruction, with the implication of being deserted and abandoned – ‘to be destroyed, to suffer destruction, to suffer desolation.’ ἐρημόομαι: μιᾷ ὥρᾳ ἠρημώθη ὁ τοσοῦτος πλοῦτος ‘such great wealth has been destroyed within a single hour’ Re 18:17.”
