Exegesis
Finally, the present participles klaiontes kai penthountes {κλαίοντες καὶ πενθοῦντες | klaíontes kaí penthoûntes} function circumstantially, depicting ongoing, simultaneous actions of weeping and mourning that accompany their standing at a distance. The English renderings preserve this structure by maintaining the central finite verb, treating the participles as descriptive of the merchants’ continuous response, and expressing the causal force of dia with “because of” in the formal and an affective rephrasing in the dynamic.
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.
