Revelation 17
Darby Bible
1And oneG1520 of the sevenG2033 angelsG32, which had the sevenG2033 bowlsG5357, cameG2064 and spokeG2980 with me, sayingG3004, ComeG2064 hereG1204, I will shew thee the sentence of the greatG3173 harlot who sitsG2521 upon the manyG4183 watersG5204; 2with whom the kingsG935 of the earthG1093 have committedG4203 fornication; and they that dwellG2730 on the earthG1093 have been made drunkG3184 with the wineG3631 of her fornication. 3And he carried me awayG667 in spiritG4151 to a desert; and I sawG3708 a womanG1135 sittingG2521 upon a scarletG2847 beastG2342, fullG1073 of namesG3686 of blasphemyG988, having sevenG2033 headsG2776 and tenG1176 hornsG2768. 4And the womanG1135 wasG1510 clothed in purpleG4210 and scarletG2847, and had ornaments of goldG5553 and preciousG5093 stonesG3037 and pearlsG3135, having a goldenG5552 cupG4221 in her handG5495 fullG1073 of abominationsG946 and the uncleanG169 things of her fornication; 5and upon her foreheadG3359 a nameG3686 writtenG1125, MysteryG3466, greatG3173 BabylonG897, the motherG3384 of the harlots, and of the abominationsG946 of the earthG1093. 6And I sawG3708 the womanG1135 drunkG3184 with the bloodG129 of the saintsG40, and with the bloodG129 of the witnessesG3144 of JesusG2424. And I wonderedG2296, seeingG3708 her, with greatG3173 wonderG2295. 7And the angelG32 saidG3004 to me, WhyG5101 hast thou wonderedG2296? I will tellG3004 thee the mysteryG3466 of the womanG1135, and of the beastG2342 which carriesG941 her, which has the sevenG2033 headsG2776 and the tenG1176 hornsG2768. 8The beastG2342 which thou sawest wasG1510, and isG1510 not, and isG1510 about to comeG3195 up out of the abyssG12 and goG5217 into destructionG684: and they who dwellG2730 on the earthG1093, whose namesG3686 areG1510 not writtenG1125 from the founding of the worldG2889 in the bookG975 of lifeG2222, shall wonderG2296, seeingG3708 the beastG2342, that it wasG1510, and isG1510 not, and shall beG1510 presentG3918. 9HereG5602 isG1510 the mindG3563 that has wisdomG4678: The sevenG2033 headsG2776 areG1510 sevenG2033 mountainsG3735, whereon the womanG1135 sitsG2521. 10And there areG1510 sevenG2033 kingsG935: fiveG4002 have fallenG4098, oneG1520 isG1510, the otherG243 has not yet comeG2064; and whenG3752 he comesG2064 he must remainG3306 [only] a littleG3641 while. 11And the beastG2342 that wasG1510 and isG1510 not, he alsoG2532 isG1510 an eighthG3590, and isG1510 of the sevenG2033, and goesG5217 into destructionG684. 12And the tenG1176 hornsG2768 which thou sawest areG1510 tenG1176 kingsG935, which have not yet receivedG2983 a kingdomG932, but receiveG2983 authorityG1849 as kingsG935 oneG1520 hourG5610 with the beastG2342. 13These have oneG1520 mind, and giveG1325 their powerG1411 and authorityG1849 to the beastG2342. 14These shall makeG4170 warG4170 with the LambG721, and the LambG721 shall overcomeG3528 them; for he isG1510 LordG2962 of lordsG2962 and KingG935 of kingsG935: and they [that areG1510] with him calledG2822, and chosen, and faithfulG4103. 15And he saysG3004 to me, The watersG5204 which thou sawest, whereG3757 the harlot sitsG2521, 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 with fireG4442; 17for 1GodG2316 has givenG1325 to their heartsG2588 to do his mind, and to act with oneG1520 mind, and to giveG1325 their kingdomG932 to the beastG2342 until the wordsG3056 of 2GodG2316 shall be fulfilled. 18And the womanG1135 which thou sawest isG1510 the greatG3173 cityG4172, which has kingship over the kingsG935 of the earthG1093.
