Revelation 17:1-7
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.
