Exegesis
The verse unfolds as a single, tightly connected sentence, with the initial clause kai ebalon choun epi tas kephalas auton {καὶ ἔβαλον χοῦν ἐπὶ τὰς κεφαλὰς αὐτῶν | kaí é-ba-lon khoûn epí tás ke-pha-lás au-tôn} foregrounding the symbolic act of mourning.
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 .”
