1128. Verse 9. And the kings of the earth shall weep for her, and wail over her, who have committed whoredom with her, and lived delicately, when they shall see the smoke of her burning.
"And the kings of the earth shall weep for her and wail over her," signifies the mourning and grief of heart of those who have exercised that power "who have committed whoredom with her, and lived delicately," signifies who were in falsities, and in the evils thereof, from delight in that power; "when they shall see the smoke of her burning," signifies, on account of hell and of their damnation.
