21 Then [c]a (D)strong angel (E)picked up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, “So will Babylon, (F)the great city, be thrown down with violence, and (G)will never be found again. 22 And (H)the sound of harpists, musicians, flute players, and trumpeters will never be heard in you again; and no craftsman of any craft will ever be found in you again; and the (I)sound of a mill will never be heard in you again; 23 and the light of a lamp will never shine in you again; and the (J)voice of the groom and bride will never be heard in you again; for your (K)merchants were the powerful people of the earth, because all the nations were deceived (L)by your witchcraft. 24 And in her was found the (M)blood of prophets and of [d]saints, and of (N)all who have been slaughtered on the earth.”
