²¹Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, 
     “With such violence Babylon the great city 
          will be thrown down, 
          and will be found no more; 
²²  and the sound of harpists and minstrels and of flutists and trumpeters 
          will be heard in you no more; 
     and an artisan of any trade 
          will be found in you no more; 
     and the sound of the millstone 
          will be heard in you no more; 
²³  and the light of a lamp 
          will shine in you no more; 
     and the voice of bridegroom and bride 
          will be heard in you no more; 
     for your merchants were the magnates of the earth, 
          and all nations were deceived by your sorcery. 
²⁴   And in you was found the blood of prophets and of saints, 
          and of all who have been slaughtered on earth.”
