Revelation 17:5-9
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.

8The beastG2342 that thou sawest wasG1510, and isG1510 not; and isG1510 about to comeG3195 up out of the abyssG12, and to goG5217 into perdition.
