11ThenG2532 oneG1520 of the 2sevenG2033 angelsG32 who hadG2192 the 3sevenG2033 bowlsG5357 cameG2064 and spokeG2980 with me, sayingG3004, “ComeG1204 hereG1204, I will showG1166 you 4the judgmentG2917 of the 5greatG3173 harlotG4204 who 6sitsG2521 on manyG4183 watersG5204, 2with whomG3739 7the kingsG935 of the earthG1093 committedG4203 acts of immoralityG4203, and 8thoseG3588 who dwellG2730 on the earthG1093 were 9madeG3184 drunkG3184 with the wineG3631 of her immoralityG4202.” 3And 10he carriedG667 me awayG667 1112in the SpiritG4151 13into a wildernessG2048; and I sawG3708 a womanG1135 sittingG2521 on a 14scarletG2847 beastG2342, fullG1073 of 15blasphemousG988 namesG3686, havingG2192 16sevenG2033 headsG2776 and tenG1176 hornsG2768. 4The womanG1135 17was clothedG4016 in purpleG4210 and scarletG2847, and 18adornedG5558 with goldG5553 and preciousG5093 19stonesG3037 and pearlsG3135, havingG2192 in her handG5495 20a goldG5552 cupG4221 fullG1073 of abominationsG946 and of the uncleanG169 thingsG169 of her immoralityG4202, 5and on her foreheadG3359 a nameG3686 was writtenG1125, a 21mysteryG3466, “22BABYLONG897 THE GREATG3173, THE MOTHERG3384 OF HARLOTSG4204 AND OF 23THE ABOMINATIONSG946 OF THE EARTHG1093.” 6And I sawG3708 the womanG1135 drunkG3184 with 24the bloodG129 of the 25saintsG40, and with the bloodG129 of the witnessesG3144 of JesusG2424.
