Revelation 18:23
_ _ What a blessed contrast is Revelation 22:5, respecting the city of God: “They need no candle (just as Babylon shall no more have the light of a candle, but for a widely different reason), for the Lord God giveth them light.”
_ _ candle — Translate as Greek, “lamp.”

_ _ thy merchants were — So most of the best authorities read. But A omits the Greek article before “merchants,” and then translates, “The great men of ... were thy merchants.”
_ _ sorceries — Greek, “sorcery.” |
