Contextual Overview
9"The rulers of the earth who enjoyed her so much will grovel and weep when they see her burned to the ground.
10But they ain't stupid, they won't get too close because they don't want to get a taste of what she's going through. They will say, 'This is horrible. What a waste! In just one hour Babylon has been brought down.'
11"The businessmen of the earth will also cry out in loss. No one will buy from them anymore.
12No one will purchase their gold, silver, jewels, and shiny pearls. No one will buy their fine linen, purple cloth, silk, or scarlet robes, no rare woods or things made of elephant tusk, bronze, metal, or marble.
13There will be no market for their cinnamon, spice, smoking incense, myrrh, or frankincense, wine or oil, flour or wheat, cattle or sheep, horses or carriages, slaves, or even human lives.
14"The businessmen will say to her, 'Every fancy trinket you strove for is gone with your wealth and your beauty. They will never be found again.'
15These businessmen too will stand a long way off. Neither do they want to share in her suffering. Sure, they will cry and whine
16and say, 'This is a total waste. How terrible is this day?! She used to be the most beautiful and decorated thing on earth,
17but in one hour she lies in ruin.'"Others who will stand a long way off and observe the destruction are the ships' captains, their passengers, the sailors, and all who earned their living on the water.
18They will also cry out in anguish as the flames consume her. 'She was the greatest city ever!'

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.
