    It will never be found again.
22 O Babylon, the music of people playing harps and other instruments, flutes and trumpets
    will never be heard in you again.

    will ever be found in you again.
The sound of a millstone
    will never be heard in you again.
23 The light of a lamp
    will never shine in you again.
The voices of a bridegroom and bride
    will never be heard in you again.
Your merchants were the world’s great people.
    All the nations were tricked by your magic.
