Revelation 18:20-22

Contemporary English Version

^20 (A) The heavens should be happy
with God's people
    and apostles and prophets.
God has punished her
    for them.”

“This is how the great city
    of Babylon
will be thrown down,
    never to rise again.
^22 (C)(D) The music of harps and singers
and of flutes and trumpets
    will no longer be heard.
No workers will ever
    set up shop in that city,
and the sound
of grinding grain
    will be silenced forever.
