21. Then a powerful angel picked up a large rock. This rock was as big as a large millstone. The angel threw the rock into the sea and said, “That is how the great city of Babylon will be thrown down. It will never be found again.
22. O Babylon, the music of people playing harps and other instruments, flutes and trumpets will never be heard in you again. No worker doing any job will ever be found in you again. The sound of a millstone will never be heard in you again.
23. The light of a lamp will never shine in you again. The voices of a bridegroom and bride will never be heard in you again. Your merchants were the world’s great people. All the nations were tricked by your magic.
