In a single hour your judgment has come.' 11"And merchants of the earth will weep and grieve over her, because no one buys their cargo (goods, merchandise) anymore— 12cargoes of gold and silver and precious stones and pearls and fine linen and purple and silk and scarlet; all kinds of citron (scented) wood and every article of ivory and every article of very costly and lavish wood and bronze and iron and marble; 13and cinnamon and spices and incense and perfume and frankincense and wine and olive oil and fine flour and wheat; of cattle and sheep, and cargoes of horses and chariots and carriages; and of slaves and human lives. 14"The ripe fruits and delicacies of your soul's desire have gone from you, and all things that were luxurious and extravagant are lost to you, never again to be found. 15"The merchants who handled these articles, who grew wealthy from [their business with] her, will stand a long way off in fear of her torment, weeping and mourning aloud,16saying, 'Woe, woe, for the great city that was robed in fine linen, in purple and scarlet, gilded and adorned with gold, with precious stones, and with pearls; 17because in one hour all the vast wealth has been laid waste.' And every ship captain or navigator, and every passenger and sailor, and all who make their living by the sea, stood a long way off, 18and exclaimed as they watched the smoke of her burning, saying, 'What could be compared to the great city?'

Gill's Notes on the Bible
The merchants of these things,.... Before mentioned, who have traded in them for themselves and for Rome:
which were made rich by her, see Revelation 18:3
shall stand afar off for fear of her torment; as the kings of the earth before, Revelation 18:10 being conscious to themselves of their being partners in her crimes, and so might justly fear they should share in her punishment; and it may be, they will outwardly deny they are now of her religion, and will externally embrace the reformed religion; though they will be inwardly weeping and wailing for the destruction of Rome, and the loss of their merchandise and goodly things.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The merchants of these things - Who trafficked in these things, and who supplied the city with them, Revelation 18:11.
Which were made rich by her - By traffic with her.
Shall stand afar off - Revelation 18:10.
For fear of her torment - Struck with terror by her torment, so that they did not dare to approach her, Revelation 18:10.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Revelation 18:15. Stand afar off — See Revelation 18:10.
