Exegesis
The verse begins with the prepositional phrase apo makrothen hestekotes {ἀπὸ μακρόθεν ἑστηκότες | apò makróthen hestēkótes} ‘standing from afar’, where the perfect participle hestekotes functions adjectivally to describe the onlookers’ fixed posture of watchful separation.
In context — Revelation 18:10
They stood far away because they feared her torment , and they said, “Alas, alas, Babylon the great, the mighty city, because in one hour your judgment has come.”
