“So will Babylon ^(F)the great city be thrown down with violence,
    and will be found no more;
²² and ^(G)the sound of harpists and musicians, of flute players and trumpeters,
    will be heard in you no more,
and a craftsman of any craft
    will be found in you no more,
and ^(H)the sound of the mill
    will be heard in you no more,
²³ and the light of a lamp
    will shine in you no more,
and ^(I)the voice of bridegroom and bride
    will be heard in you no more,
for ^(J)your merchants were the great ones of the earth,
    and all nations were deceived ^(K)by your sorcery.
²⁴ And ^(L)in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints,
    and of ^(M)all who have been slain on earth.”

^6 (C)“Whoever sheds the blood of man,
    by man shall his blood be shed,
^(D)for God made man in his own image.

^29 (A)“‘Cut off your hair and cast it away;
    raise a lamentation on ^(B)the bare heights,
for the Lord has rejected and forsaken
    the generation of his wrath.’
