Revelation 17:1-7

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.
