And sound of harp-singers, and musicians, and flute-players, and trumpeters, - in nowise be heard in thee any more; and any artisan of any art, - in nowise be found in thee any more; and sound of millstone, - in nowise be found in thee any more;

And I will cause to cease the hum of thy songs; And the sound of thy lyres, shall not be heard any more.
