Revelation 17
17:1And came one of the seven angels of the ones having the seven bowls, and he spoke with me, saying, Come, I will show to you the judgment of the great harlot, the one sitting upon the many waters,
17:2with whom the kings of the earth committed harlotry, and the ones dwelling on the earth were intoxicated of the wine of her harlotry.
17:3And he carried me away into the wilderness in spirit. And I saw a woman sitting upon a scarlet beast, being full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
17:4And the woman was wearing purple and scarlet, gilded with gold, and precious stone and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and the uncleanlinesses of her harlotry.
17:5And upon her forehead a name being written, Mystery, Babylon the great, the mother of the harlots and of the abominations of the earth.
17:6And I saw the woman being intoxicated of the blood of the holy ones, and of the blood of the witnesses of Jesus. And I marveled, having seen her, with great wonder.
17:7And the angel said to me, Why did you marvel? I will tell to you the mystery of the woman, and of the beast, of the one bearing her, of the one having the seven heads and the ten horns;
17:8even the beast which you saw was, and is not, and is about to ascend from out of the abyss, and to go away into destruction. And the ones dwelling upon the earth shall marvel, whose names are not written upon the scroll of the life from the founding of the world, seeing the beast that was, and is not, and shall be at hand.
17:9Here is the mind of the one having wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains where the woman sits upon them.
17:10And there are seven kings -- the five fallen, the one is, the other not yet is come; and whenever he should come, he must remain a little.
17:11And the beast which was, and is not, even he is eighth, and he is from out of the seven, and he goes unto destruction.
17:12And the ten horns which you saw are ten kings, ones which not yet received a kingdom, but receive authority as kings one hour with the beast.
17:13These have one opinion, and they give the power and their authority to the beast.
17:14These shall wage war against the lamb, and the lamb will overcome them, for he is Lord of lords and king of kings; and the ones with him are called, and chosen, and trustworthy.
17:15And he says to me, The waters which you saw, where the harlot sits, are peoples and multitudes, and nations, and languages.
17:16And the ten horns which you saw upon the beast, these shall detest the harlot, and they shall cause her being made desolate, and shall make her naked, and shall devour her flesh, and shall incinerate her by fire.
17:17For God gave to their hearts to do his design, and to do one design, and to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
17:18And the woman whom you saw is the great city, the one having kingship over the kings of the earth.
