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.”
