Revelation 18:22-23
Holman Christian Standard Bible
22 The sound of harpists, musicians,
flutists, and trumpeters
will never be heard in you again;(A)
no craftsman of any trade
will ever be found in you again;
the sound of a mill
will never be heard in you again;
23 the light of a lamp
will never shine in you again;
and the voice of a groom and bride
will never be heard in you again.(B)
All this will happen
because your merchants
were the nobility of the earth,
because all the nations were deceived
by your sorcery,[a]
