Revelation 18:11-13

 "And behold, I am coming quickly. 
Blessed is he who heeds the words of the prophecy of this book."     
Revelation 22:7  NASB

"The merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her because no one buys their cargoes anymore--cargoes of gold, silver, precious stones and pearls; fine linen, purple, silk, and scarlet cloth; every sort of citron wood, and articles of every kind made of ivory, costly wood, bronze, iron and marble; cargoes of cinnamon and spice, of incense, myrrh and frankincense, of wine and olive oil, of fine flour and wheat; cattle and sheep; horses and carriages; and human beings sold as slaves." 

The merchants of the earth

will weep and mourn over her 
Revelation 18:15  "The merchants who sold these things and gained their wealth from her will stand far off, terrified at her torment. They will weep and mourn ..."

Ezekiel 27:31  " 'They will shave their heads because of you and will put on sackcloth. They will weep over you with anguish of soul and with bitter mourning.' "

because no one buys their cargoes anymore

Ezekiel 27:13  " 'Greece, Tubal and Meshek did business with you; they traded human beings and articles of bronze for your wars.' "
1 Timothy 1:8-11  We know that the law is good if one uses it properly. We also know that the law is made not for the righteous but for lawbreakers and rebels, the ungodly and sinful, the unholy and irreligious, for those who kill their fathers or mothers. for murderers, for the sexually immoral, for those practicing homosexuality, for slave traders and liars and perjurers--and for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine that conforms to the gospel concerning the glory of the blessed God, which he entrusted to me.
