Revelation 18:22-24

Contemporary English Version

^22 (A)(B) The music of harps and singers
and of flutes and trumpets
    will no longer be heard.
No workers will ever
    set up shop in that city,
and the sound
of grinding grain
    will be silenced forever.
²³ Lamps will no longer shine
    anywhere in Babylon,
and couples will never again
    say wedding vows there.
Her merchants ruled
    the earth,
and by her witchcraft
    she fooled all nations.
^24 (C) On the streets of Babylon
is found the blood
    of God's people
    and of his prophets,
    and everyone else.”
