Lamentation over Babylon the Great by the Self-Seekers (Revelation 18:9).
We have witnessed the fall of Babylon the Great, now we witness the ‘grief' of her ‘friends'. The kings, the merchants and the ship-owners all weep over her, but their main concern is how it will affect them. The reader is aware of the irony. Did they but know it they are nearer the final day of judgment than they realise.
