“Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.”
'Terrified at her torment, they will stand far off and cry: 'Woe! Woe to you, great city, mighty Babylon! In one hour your doom has come!' - the kings stand at a distance, afraid to share her fate, crying out in horror at her swift destruction. The 'one hour' emphasizes the suddenness of judgment; what seemed permanent vanishes instantly.
