Revelation 18:20-23

20 1Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you 2saints and 3apostles and prophets, because 4God has 5pronounced judgment for you against her.”

21Then 6a 7strong angel 8picked up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, “So will Babylon, 9the great city, be thrown down with violence, and 10will never be found again. 22And 11the 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 12sound of a mill will never be heard in you again; 23and the light of a lamp will never shine in you again; and the 13voice of the groom and bride will never be heard in you again; for your 14merchants were the powerful people of the earth, because all the nations were deceived 15by your witchcraft.
