18:22 And the sound of the harpists, musicians,
flute players, and trumpeters
will never be heard in you 1 again.
No 2 craftsman 3 who practices any trade
will ever be found in you again;
the noise of a mill 4 will never be heard in you again.
18:23 Even the light from a lamp
will never shine in you again!
The voices of the bridegroom and his bride
will never be heard in you again.
For your merchants were the tycoons of the world,
because all the nations 5 were deceived by your magic spells! 6
18:24 The 7 blood of the saints and prophets was found in her, 8
along with the blood 9 of all those who had been killed on the earth.”
