Revelation 18:22-24

Amplified Bible

²² And the sound of harpists and musicians and flutists and trumpeters will never again be heard in you, and no skilled artisan of any craft will ever again be found in you, and the sound of the millstone [grinding grain] will never again be heard in you [for commerce will no longer flourish, and normal life will cease].^{(A) 23} And never again will the light of a lamp shine in you, and never again will the voice of the bridegroom and bride be heard in you; for your merchants were the great and prominent men of the earth, because all the nations were deceived and misled by your sorcery [your magic spells and poisonous charm]. ²⁴ And in Babylon was found the blood of prophets and of saints (God’s people) and of all those who have been slaughtered on the earth.”^(B)
