For the Woe see verses Revelation 18:10, Revelation 18:19. For the next clause see Revelation 17:4 with the addition here of bussinon (Revelation 18:12).
For in one hour so great riches is made desolate (oti miai wrai hrhmwqh o tosoutov ploutov). The reason (oti) for the "woe." First aorist passive indicative of erhmow, for which verb see Revelation 17:16; Revelation 18:19. This is the dirge of the merchants.
