Revelation 17:4-6
4The woman 1was clothed in purple and scarlet, and 2adorned with gold, precious 3stones, and pearls, holding in her hand 4a gold cup full of abominations and of the unclean things of her sexual immorality,
5and on her forehead a name was written, 5a 6mystery: “7BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES AND OF 8THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.”
6And I saw the woman drunk with 9the blood of the 10saints, and with the blood of the witnesses of Jesus. When I saw her, I wondered 11greatly.
