Unchecked Copy BoxRev 18:23 - and light of a lamp may not shine at all in thee any more; and voice of bridegroom and of bride may not be heard at all in thee any more; because thy merchants were the great ones of the earth, because in thy sorcery were all the nations led astray,
Unchecked Copy BoxRev 18:24 - and in her blood of prophets and of saints was found, and of all those who have been slain on the earth.'
