“So will Babylon ^fthe great city be thrown down with violence,

and will be found no more;

22  and ^gthe sound of harpists and musicians, of flute players and trumpeters,

will be heard in you no more,

and a craftsman of any craft

will be found in you no more,

and ^hthe sound of the mill

will be heard in you no more,

23  and the light of a lamp

will shine in you no more,

and ⁱthe voice of bridegroom and bride

will be heard in you no more,

for ^jyour merchants were the great ones of the earth,

and all nations were deceived ^kby your sorcery.

24  And ^lin her was found the blood of prophets and of saints,

and of ^mall who have been slain on earth.”
