Exegesis
The stacked genitives are rendered by successive “of” phrases to preserve the Greek’s intricate imagery, and the coordination through kai {καὶ | kaí} structures a progression from universal moral decay to specific political and economic complicity.
In context — Revelation 18:3
Because from the wine of the wrath of her fornication, all the nations have fallen, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich from the power of her luxury .
