Revelation
Revelation 18:23–24
23The light of a lamp
will never shine in you again,
and the voices of a bride and bridegroom
will never call out in you again.
For your merchants were the great ones of the earth,
because all the nations were deceived by your sorcery.”
24And there was found in her the blood of prophets and saints, and of all who had been slain on the earth.
