<p class="poetry">And the sound of the harpists, musicians,p> <p class="poetry">flute players, and trumpetersp> <p class="poetry">will never be heard in you<n id="1" /> again.p> <p class="poetry">No<n id="2" /> craftsman<n id="3" /> who practices any tradep> <p class="poetry">will ever be found in you again;p> <p class="poetry">the noise of a mill<n id="4" /> will never be heard in you again.p>

Therefore,<n id="1" /> repent! If not, I will come against you quickly and make war against those people<n id="2" /> with the sword of my mouth.

<p class="poetry">Even the light from a lampp> <p class="poetry">will never shine in you again!p> <p class="poetry">The voices of the bridegroom and his bridep> <p class="poetry">will never be heard in you again.p> <p class="poetry">For your merchants were the tycoons of the world,p> <p class="poetry">because all the nations<n id="1" /> were deceived by your magic spells!<n id="2" />p>

Therefore, remember from what high state<n id="1" /> you have fallen and repent! Do<n id="2" /> the deeds you did at the first;<n id="3" /> if not, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place &#8211; that is, if you do not repent.<n id="4" />

take my advice<n id="1" /> and buy gold from me refined by fire so you can become rich! Buy from me<n id="2" /> white clothing so you can be clothed and your shameful nakedness<n id="3" /> will not be exposed, and buy eye salve<n id="4" /> to put on your eyes so you can see!

with these words:<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">&#8220;We give you thanks, Lord God, the All-Powerful,<n id="2" />p> <p class="poetry">the one who is and who was,p> <p class="poetry">because you have taken your great powerp> <p class="poetry">and begun to reign.<n id="3" />p>

<t /><p class="bodytext">Then<n id="1" /> one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and spoke to me.<n id="2" /> &#8220;Come,&#8221; he said, &#8220;I will show you the condemnation and punishment<n id="3" /> of the great prostitute who sits on many waters,

But<n id="1" /> the angel said to me, &#8220;Why are you astounded? I will interpret<n id="2" /> for you the mystery of the woman and of the beast with the seven heads and ten horns that carries her.

Do not be afraid of the things you are about to suffer. The devil is about to have some of you thrown<n id="1" /> into prison so you may be tested,<n id="2" /> and you will experience suffering<n id="3" /> for ten days. Remain faithful even to the point of death, and I will give you the crown that is life itself.<n id="4" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">After these things I looked, and there was<n id="1" /> a door standing open in heaven!<n id="2" /> And the first voice I had heard speaking to me<n id="3" /> like a trumpet<n id="4" /> said: &#8220;Come up here so that<n id="5" /> I can show you what must happen after these things.&#8221;

<t /><p class="bodytext">Then<n id="1" /> one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven final plagues came and spoke to me,<n id="2" /> saying, &#8220;Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb!&#8221;
