“The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,”
'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' - like the kings, the merchants witness Babylon's destruction from a distance, afraid to share her fate. Their weeping is for their lost commercial advantage.
