“And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls!”
and cry out: 'Woe! Woe to the great city, dressed in fine linen, purple and scarlet, and glittering with gold, jewels and pearls!' - the merchants echo the kings' lamentation, recalling Babylon's outward splendor (described in 17:4). Her luxury, which they helped create and profit from, cannot save her.
