Exegesis
The object of their sight is expressed by ton kapnon tes pyroseos autes {τὸν καπνὸν τῆς πυρώσεως αὐτῆς | tón kap-nón tês py-ró-se-os autês}, where the genitive tes pyroseos specifies the kind of smoke (“the smoke of her burning”), and autes marks possession. In translation, the participial chain is rendered with relative and descriptive clauses (“those who committed… and lived…”) to preserve the tight connection between identity and behavior, while the temporal clause is kept as “when they see” to mirror the Greek causal sequence.
In context — Revelation 18:9
And the kings of the earth, those who committed sexual immorality with her and lived luxuriously, will weep and mourn over her when they see the smoke of her burning ,
