no more. [18:22]And the
voice of harpers and singers and of those that play on flutes and
trumpets shall be heard in you no more. And no artisan of any art
shall be found in you any more, and the sound of a mill shall be heard
in you no more, [18:23]and the light of a candle shall shine in you no
more, and the voice of a bridegroom and of a bride shall be heard in
you no more, for your merchants were the great ones of the earth, for
all nations were deceived by your magic arts, [18:24]and in her was
found the blood of prophets and saints, and of all that have been
killed on the earth.
CHAPTER XI.
SATAN CONQUERED AND IMPRISONED, HIS RELEASE AND FINAL OVERTHROW.
1 [19:1]AFTER this I heard a loud voice as of a great multitude in
heaven, saying, Halleluia, the salvation and glory and power of our

[19:8]and it was given her to be arrayed in fine linen white and
clean;--for fine linen represents the righteous ordinances of the
saints.
