Revelation 17:3-5
3And 1he carried me away 23in the Spirit 4into a wilderness; and I saw a woman sitting on a 5scarlet beast, full of 6blasphemous names, having 7seven heads and ten horns.
4The woman 8was clothed in purple and scarlet, and 9adorned with gold and precious 10stones and pearls, having in her hand 11a gold cup full of abominations and of the unclean things of her immorality,
5and on her forehead a name was written, a 12mystery, “13BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF 14THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.”
