Revelation 17
American Standard Version
1And there cameG2064 oneG1520 of the sevenG2033 angelsG32 that had the sevenG2033 bowlsG5357, and spake with me, sayingG3004, ComeG2064 hither, I will showG1166 thee the judgmentG2917 of the greatG3173 harlot that sitteth upon manyG4183 watersG5204; 2with whom the kingsG935 of the earthG1093 committedG4203 fornication, and they that dwellG2730 in the earthG1093 were made drunken with the wineG3631 of her fornication. 3And he carried me awayG667 in the SpiritG4151 into a wildernessG2048: and I sawG3708 a womanG1135 sittingG2521 upon a scarlet-colored beastG2342, fullG1073 of namesG3686 of blasphemyG988, having sevenG2033 headsG2776 and tenG1176 hornsG2768. 4And the womanG1135 wasG1510 arrayed in purpleG4210 and scarletG2847, and decked with goldG5553 and preciousG5093 stoneG3037 and pearlsG3135, having in her handG5495 a goldenG5552 cupG4221 fullG1073 of abominationsG946, evenG2532 the uncleanG169 things of her fornication, 5and upon her foreheadG3359 a nameG3686 writtenG1125, MYSTERYG3466, BABYLONG897 THE GREATG3173, THE MOTHERG3384 OF THE HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONSG946 OF THE EARTHG1093. 6And I sawG3708 the womanG1135 drunken with the bloodG129 of the saintsG40, and with the bloodG129 of the martyrs of JesusG2424. And when I sawG3708 her, I wonderedG2296 with a greatG3173 wonderG2295. 7And the angelG32 saidG3004 unto me, Wherefore didst thou wonderG2296? I will tellG3004 thee the mysteryG3466 of the womanG1135, and of the beastG2342 that carrieth her, which hath the sevenG2033 headsG2776 and the tenG1176 hornsG2768. 8The beastG2342 that thou sawest wasG1510, and isG1510 not; and isG1510 about to comeG3195 up out of the abyssG12, and to goG5217 into perdition. And they that dwellG2730 on the earthG1093 shall wonderG2296, they whose nameG3686 hath not beenG1510 writtenG1125 in the bookG975 of lifeG2222 from the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889, when they behold the beastG2342, how that he wasG1510, and isG1510 not, and shall comeG3195. 9HereG5602 isG1510 the mindG3563 that hath wisdomG4678. The sevenG2033 headsG2776 areG1510 sevenG2033 mountainsG3735, on which the womanG1135 sitteth: 10and they areG1510 sevenG2033 kingsG935; the fiveG4002 areG1510 fallenG4098, the oneG1520 isG1510, the otherG243 isG1510 not yet comeG2064; and whenG3752 he cometh, he must continue a littleG3641 while. 11And the beastG2342 that wasG1510, and isG1510 not, isG1510 himself alsoG2532 an eighthG3590, and isG1510 of the sevenG2033; and he goeth into perdition. 12And the tenG1176 hornsG2768 that thou sawest areG1510 tenG1176 kingsG935, who have receivedG2983 no kingdomG932 as yet; but they receiveG2983 authorityG1849 as kingsG935, with the beastG2342, for oneG1520 hourG5610. 13These have oneG1520 mind, and they giveG1325 their powerG1411 and authorityG1849 unto the beastG2342. 14These shall warG4170 against the LambG721, and the LambG721 shall overcomeG3528 them, for he isG1510 LordG2962 of lordsG2962, and KingG935 of kingsG935; and they alsoG2532 shall overcomeG3528 that areG1510 with him, calledG2822 and chosen and faithfulG4103. 15And he saith unto me, The watersG5204 which thou sawest, whereG3757 the harlot sitteth, areG1510 peoplesG2992, and multitudesG3793, and nationsG1484, and tonguesG1100. 16And the tenG1176 hornsG2768 which thou sawest, and the beastG2342, these shall hateG3404 the harlot, and shall makeG4160 her desolate and nakedG1131, and shall eatG2068 her fleshG4561, and shall burnG2618 her utterly with fireG4442. 17For GodG2316 did put in their heartsG2588 to do his mind, and to come to oneG1520 mind, and to giveG1325 their kingdomG932 unto the beastG2342, until the wordsG3056 of GodG2316 should be accomplishedG5055. 18And the womanG1135 whom thou sawest isG1510 the greatG3173 cityG4172, which reigneth over the kingsG935 of the earthG1093.
