Revelation of John 18:23
23 the light of a lampwill never shine in you again;
and the voice of a groom and bride
will never be heard in you again. a
All this will happen
because your merchants
were the nobility of the earth,
because all the nations were deceived
by your sorcery, ▼
▼Ancient sorcery or witchcraft often used spells and drugs. Here the term may be non-literal, that is, Babylon drugged the nations with her beauty and power.
