1And[G2532] there came[G2064]one[G1520]of[G1537] the seven[G2033]angels[G32]which[G3588]had[G2192] the seven[G2033]vials[G5357], and[G2532]talked[G2980]with[G3326]me[G1700], saying[G3004] unto me[G3427], Come hither[G1204]; I will shew[G1166] unto thee[G4671] the judgment[G2917]of[G1537] the great[G3173]whore[G4204] that sitteth[G2521]upon[G1909]many[G4183]waters[G5204]:
2With[G3326]whom[G3739] the kings[G935] of the earth[G1093] have committed fornication[G4203], and[G2532] the inhabitants[G2730] of the earth[G1093] have been made drunk[G3184]with[G1537] the wine[G3631] of her[G846]fornication[G4202].
3So[G2532] he carried[G667]me[G3165]away[G667]in[G1722] the spirit[G4151]into[G1519] the wilderness[G2048]: and[G2532] I saw[G1492] a woman[G1135]sit[G2521]upon[G1909] a scarlet coloured[G2847]beast[G2342], full of[G1073]names[G3686]of[G1073]blasphemy[G988], having[G2192]seven[G2033]heads[G2776]and[G2532]ten[G1176]horns[G2768].
4And[G2532] the woman[G1135]was[G2258]arrayed[G4016]in[G1722]purple[G4209]and[G2532] scarlet colour[G2847], and[G2532]decked[G5558] with gold[G5557]and[G2532]precious[G5093]stones[G3037]and[G2532]pearls[G3135], having[G2192] a golden[G5552]cup[G4221]in[G1722]her[G846]hand[G5495] full of[G1073]abominations[G946]and[G2532]filthiness[G168]of[G1073]her[G846]fornication[G4202]:
5And[G2532]upon[G1909]her[G846]forehead[G3359] was a name[G3686]written[G1125], MYSTERY[G3466], BABYLON[G897] THE GREAT[G3173], THE MOTHER[G3384] OF HARLOTS[G4204]AND[G2532]ABOMINATIONS[G946] OF THE EARTH[G1093].
6And[G2532] I saw[G1492] the woman[G1135]drunken[G3184]with[G1537] the blood[G129] of the saints[G40], and[G2532]with[G1537] the blood[G129] of the martyrs[G3144] of Jesus[G2424]: and[G2532] when I saw[G1492]her[G846], I wondered[G2296]with[G1537]great[G3173]admiration[G2295].
7And[G2532] the angel[G32]said[G2036] unto me[G3427], Wherefore[G1302] didst thou marvel?[G2296]I[G1473] will tell[G2046]thee[G4671] the mystery[G3466] of the woman[G1135], and[G2532] of the beast[G2342] that carrieth[G941]her[G846], which[G3588]hath[G2192] the seven[G2033]heads[G2776]and[G2532]ten[G1176]horns[G2768].
8
The beast[G2342]that[G3739] thou sawest[G1492]was[G2258], and[G2532]is[G2076]not[G3756]; and[G2532]shall[G3195]ascend[G305] out of[G1537] the bottomless pit[G12], and[G2532]go[G5217]into[G1519]perdition[G684]: and[G2532] they that[G3739]dwell[G2730]on[G1909] the earth[G1093]shall[G3195]wonder[G2296], whose[G3739]names[G3686]were[G1125]not[G3756]written[G1125]in[G1909] the book[G975]of[G1537]life[G2222]from[G575] the foundation[G2602]of[G1537] the world[G2889], when they behold[G991] the beast[G2342]that[G3739]was[G3748], and[G2532]is[G2076]not[G3756], and[G2532]yet[G2539]is[G2076].
9
And here[G5602] is the mind[G3563]which[G3588]hath[G2192]wisdom[G4678]. The seven[G2033]heads[G2776]are[G1526]seven[G2033]mountains[G3735], on[G1909]which[G846] the woman[G1135]sitteth[G2521].
10And[G2532] there are[G1526]seven[G2033]kings[G935]: five[G4002]are[G1526]fallen[G4098], and[G2532]one[G1520]is[G2076], and[G2532] the other[G243]is[G2064] not yet[G3768]come[G2064]; and[G2532]when[G3752]he[G846]cometh[G2064], he[G846]must[G1163]continue[G3306] a short space[G3641].
11And[G2532] the beast[G2342]that[G3739]was[G2258], and[G2532]is[G2076]not[G3756], even[G2532]he[G846]is[G2076] the eighth[G3590], and[G2532]is[G2076]of[G1537] the seven[G2033], and[G2532]goeth[G5217]into[G1519]perdition[G684].
12And[G2532] the ten[G1176]horns[G2768]which[G3739] thou sawest[G1492]are[G1526]ten[G1176]kings[G935], which[G3748] have received[G2983]no[G3768]kingdom[G932]as[G5613]yet[G3768]; but[G235]receive[G2983]power[G1849]as[G5613]kings[G935]one[G3391]hour[G5610]with[G3326] the beast[G2342].
13These[G3778]have[G2192]one[G3391]mind[G1106], and[G2532] shall give[G1239]their[G1438]power[G1411]and[G2532]strength[G1849] unto the beast[G2342].
14These[G3778] shall make war[G4170]with[G3326] the Lamb[G721], and[G2532] the Lamb[G721] shall overcome[G3528]them[G846]: for[G3754] he is[G2076]Lord[G2962] of lords[G2962], and[G2532]King[G935] of kings[G935]: and[G2532] they that are with[G3326]him[G846] are called[G2822], and[G2532]chosen[G1588], and[G2532]faithful[G4103].
15And[G2532] he saith[G3004] unto me[G3427], The waters[G5204]which[G3739] thou sawest[G1492], where[G3757] the whore[G4204]sitteth[G2521], are[G1526]peoples[G2992], and[G2532]multitudes[G3793], and[G2532]nations[G1484], and[G2532]tongues[G1100].
16And[G2532] the ten[G1176]horns[G2768]which[G3739] thou sawest[G1492]upon[G1909] the beast[G2342], these[G3778] shall hate[G3404] the whore[G4204], and[G2532] shall make[G4160]her[G846]desolate[G2049]and[G2532]naked[G1131], and[G2532] shall eat[G5315]her[G846]flesh[G4561], and[G2532]burn[G2618]her[G846]with[G1722]fire[G4442].
17For[G1063]God[G2316] hath put[G1325]in[G1519]their[G846]hearts[G2588] to fulfil[G4160]his[G846]will[G1106], and[G2532] to agree[G4160], and[G2532]give[G1325]their[G846]kingdom[G932] unto the beast[G2342], until[G891] the words[G4487] of God[G2316] shall be fulfilled[G5055].
18And[G2532] the woman[G1135]which[G3739] thou sawest[G1492]is[G2076] that great[G3173]city[G4172], which[G3588]reigneth[G2192]over[G1909] the kings[G935] of the earth[G1093].
