Exegesis
The subsequent prepositional phrase apo makrothen {ἀπὸ μακρόθεν | apó makróthen} ‘from afar’ functions adverbially with the main verb stesontai {στήσονται | stḗsontai} ‘they will stand’, portraying physical and emotional distance.
In context — Revelation 18:15
The merchants of these things, those who became rich from her, will stand at a distance because of the fear of her torment, weeping and mourning.
