Exegesis
The middle clause shifts to a personal subject, pas technitēs pasēs technēs {πᾶς τεχνίτης πάσης τέχνης | pas technitēs pasēs technēs} “every craftsman of every craft,” where the repetition of pas {πᾶς | pas} has a distributive force, emphasizing exhaustive removal of all skilled labor.
In context — Revelation 18:22
And the sound of harpists and musicians, of flutists and trumpeters, shall never be heard in you any longer; and every craftsman of every trade shall never be found in you any longer; and the sound of a mill shall never be heard in you any longer.
