Revelation 17:11-18

11The beastG2342 whichG3739 1was, and is not, is himselfG846 alsoG2532 an eighthG3590 and is one of the sevenG2033, and he 2goesG5217 to destructionG684. 12The 3tenG1176 hornsG2768 whichG3739 you sawG3708 are tenG1176 kingsG935 whoG3748 have not yetG3768 receivedG2983 a kingdomG932, but they receiveG2983 authorityG1849 as kingsG935 with the beastG2342 4for oneG1520 hourG5610. 13TheseG3778 haveG2192 5oneG1520 6purposeG1106, and they giveG1325 their powerG1411 and authorityG1849 to the beastG2342. 14TheseG3778 will wageG4170 7warG4170 againstG3326 the LambG721, and the LambG721 will 8overcomeG3528 them becauseG3754 He is 9LordG2962 of lordsG2962 and 10KingG935 of kingsG935; and 11thoseG3588 whoG3588 are with Him are the 12calledG2822 and chosenG1588 and faithfulG4103.”

15And he saidG3004 to me, “The 13watersG5204 whichG3739 you sawG3708 whereG3757 the prostituteG4204 sitsG2521 are 14peoplesG2992 and multitudesG3793, and nationsG1484 and languagesG1100. 16And the 15tenG1176 hornsG2768 whichG3739 you sawG3708, and the beastG2342, theseG3778 will hateG3404 the prostituteG4204 and will makeG4160 her 16desolateG2049 and 17nakedG1131, and will 18eatG2068 her fleshG4561 and will 19burnG2618 her upG2618 with fireG4442. 17For 20GodG2316 has putG1325 it in their heartsG2588 to executeG4160 His 21purposeG1106 22by 23havingG4160 a commonG1520 purposeG1106, and by givingG1325 their kingdomG932 to the beastG2342, untilG891 the 24wordsG3056 of GodG2316 will be fulfilledG5055. 18The womanG1135 whomG3739 you sawG3708 is 25the greatG3173 cityG4172, which 26reignsG2192G932 overG1909 the kingsG935 of the earthG1093.”
