Compare all
11 “And athe merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her, for no one buys their merchandise anymore:  
12 amerchandise of gold and silver, precious stones and pearls, fine linen and purple, silk and scarlet, every kind of citron wood, every kind of object of ivory, every kind of object of most precious wood, bronze, iron, and marble;  
13 and cinnamon and incense, fragrant oil and frankincense, wine and oil, fine flour and wheat, cattle and sheep, horses and chariots, and bodies and asouls of men.  
14 The fruit that your soul longed for has gone from you, and all the things which are rich and splendid have1 gone from you, and you shall find them no more at all.  
15 The merchants of these things, who became rich by her, will stand at a distance for fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,

Revelation 18:13

Amomum - A shrub whose wood is a fine perfume. And beasts - Cows and oxen. And of chariots - a purely Latin word is here inserted in the Greek. This St. John undoubtedly used on purpose, in describing the luxury of Rome. And of bodies - A common term for slaves. And souls of men - For these also are continually bought and sold at Rome. And this of all others is the most gainful merchandise to the Roman traffickers.
