Wahyu 18:23

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 

[6:10]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
