18:22And the sound of the harpists, musicians,
flute players, and trumpeters
will never be heard in you62 again.
No63 craftsman64 who practices any trade
will ever be found in you again;
the noise of a mill65 will never be heard in you again.
18:23Even the light from a lamp
will never shine in you again!
The voices of the bridegroom and his bride
will never be heard in you again.
For your merchants were the tycoons of the world,
because all the nations66 were deceived by your magic spells!67
