Rejoice over her, [thou] heaven, and [ye] holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.

And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft [he be], shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee;
