17:1 And
there
came
one
of
the
seven
angels
that
had
the
seven
bowls,
and
spake
with
me,
saying,
Come
hither,
I
will
show
thee
the
judgment
of
the
great
harlot
that
sitteth
upon
many
waters;
17:2 with
whom
the
kings
of
the
earth
committed
fornication,
and
they
that
dwell
in
the
earth
were
made
drunken
with
the
wine
of
her
fornication.
17:3 And
he
carried
me
away
in
the
Spirit
into
a
wilderness:
and
I
saw
a
woman
sitting
upon
a
scarlet-colored
beast,
full
of
names
of
blasphemy,
having
seven
heads
and
ten
horns.
17:4 And
the
woman
was
arrayed
in
purple
and
scarlet,
and
decked
with
gold
and
precious
stone
and
pearls,
having
in
her
hand
a
golden
cup
full
of
abominations,
even
the
unclean
things
of
her
fornication,
17:5 and
upon
her
forehead
a
name
written,
MYSTERY,
BABYLON
THE
GREAT,
THE
MOTHER
OF
THE
HARLOTS
AND
OF
THE
ABOMINATIONS
OF
THE
EARTH.
17:6 And
I
saw
the
woman
drunken
with
the
blood
of
the
saints,
and
with
the
blood
of
the
martyrs
of
Jesus.
And
when
I
saw
her,
I
wondered
with
a
great
wonder.
17:7 And
the
angel
said
unto
me,
Wherefore
didst
thou
wonder
I
will
tell
thee
the
mystery
of
the
woman,
and
of
the
beast
that
carrieth
her,
which
hath
the
seven
heads
and
the
ten
horns.
17:8 The
beast
that
thou
sawest
was,
and
is
not;
and
is
about
to
come
up
out
of
the
abyss,
and
to
go
into
perdition.
And
they
that
dwell
on
the
earth
shall
wonder,
[they]
whose
name
hath
not
been
written
in
the
book
of
life
from
the
foundation
of
the
world,
when
they
behold
the
beast,
how
that
he
was,
and
is
not,
and
shall
come.
17:9 Here
is
the
mind
that
hath
wisdom.
The
seven
heads
are
seven
mountains,
on
which
the
woman
sitteth:
17:10 and
they
are
seven
kings;
the
five
are
fallen,
the
one
is,
the
other
is
not
yet
come;
and
when
he
cometh,
he
must
continue
a
little
while.
17:11 And
the
beast
that
was,
and
is
not,
is
himself
also
an
eighth,
and
is
of
the
seven;
and
he
goeth
into
perdition.
17:12 And
the
ten
horns
that
thou
sawest
are
ten
kings,
who
have
received
no
kingdom
as
yet;
but
they
receive
authority
as
kings,
with
the
beast,
for
one
hour.
17:13 These
have
one
mind,
and
they
give
their
power
and
authority
unto
the
beast.
17:14 These
shall
war
against
the
Lamb,
and
the
Lamb
shall
overcome
them,
for
he
is
Lord
of
lords,
and
King
of
kings;
and
they
[also
shall
overcome]
that
are
with
him,
called
and
chosen
and
faithful.
17:15 And
he
saith
unto
me,
The
waters
which
thou
sawest,
where
the
harlot
sitteth,
are
peoples,
and
multitudes,
and
nations,
and
tongues.
17:16 And
the
ten
horns
which
thou
sawest,
and
the
beast,
these
shall
hate
the
harlot,
and
shall
make
her
desolate
and
naked,
and
shall
eat
her
flesh,
and
shall
burn
her
utterly
with
fire.
17:17 For
God
did
put
in
their
hearts
to
do
his
mind,
and
to
come
to
one
mind,
and
to
give
their
kingdom
unto
the
beast,
until
the
words
of
God
should
be
accomplished.
17:18 And
the
woman
whom
thou
sawest
is
the
great
city,
which
reigneth
over
the
kings
of
the
earth.
