Revelation 17:7-12

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.
