22. The music of harps and singersand of flutes and trumpetswill no longer be heard.No workers will everset up shop in that city,and the soundof grinding grainwill be silenced for ever.
23. Lamps will no longer shineanywhere in Babylon,and couples will never againsay wedding vows there.Her merchants ruledthe earth,and by her witchcraftshe fooled all nations.
24. On the streets of Babylonis found the bloodof God's peopleand of his prophets,and everyone else.”
