Exegesis
The first clause, hē opōra sou tēs epithymias tēs psuchēs apēlthen apo sou {ἡ ὀπώρα σου τῆς ἐπιθυμίας τῆς ψυχῆς ἀπῆλθεν ἀπὸ σοῦ | hē opṓra sou tēs epithymías tēs psychês apêlthen apó sou}, places the subject ‘the fruit’ before a genitive chain ‘of your desire of the soul’, intensifying the idea of deeply cherished longings. The verb apēlthen with apo sou portrays this as a completed departure.
In context — Revelation 18:14
And the fruit that your soul longed for has departed from you, and all the luxurious things and the splendid things have perished from you, and they will never find them again.
