Exegesis
The conjunction hoti {ὅτι | hó-ti} introduces the reason for the lament, and the temporal dative phrase mia hōra {μιᾷ ὥρᾳ | mi-á hó-rā} highlights shocking suddenness.
In context — Revelation 18:19
And they threw dust upon their heads and cried out, weeping and mourning, saying, “Woe, woe, for the great city in which all those who had ships on the sea became rich from her costliness , because in a single hour she was made desolate .”
