17:1 And
there
came
one
of
the
seven
messengers,
who
were
having
the
seven
vials,
and
he
spake
with
me,
saying
to
me,
`Come,
I
will
shew
to
thee
the
judgment
of
the
great
whore,
who
is
sitting
upon
the
many
waters,
17:2 with
whom
the
kings
of
the
earth
did
commit
whoredom;
and
made
drunk
from
the
wine
of
her
whoredom
were
those
inhabiting
the
earth;'
17:3 and
he
carried
me
away
to
a
wilderness
in
the
Spirit,
and
I
saw
a
woman
sitting
upon
a
scarlet-coloured
beast,
full
of
names
of
evil-speaking,
having
seven
heads
and
ten
horns,
17:4 and
the
woman
was
arrayed
with
purple
and
scarlet-colour,
and
gilded
with
gold,
and
precious
stone,
and
pearls,
having
a
golden
cup
in
her
hand
full
of
abominations
and
uncleanness
of
her
whoredom,
17:5 and
upon
her
forehead
was
a
name
written:
`Secret,
Babylon
the
Great,
the
Mother
of
the
Whores,
and
the
Abominations
of
the
earth.'
17:6 And
I
saw
the
woman
drunken
from
the
blood
of
the
saints,
and
from
the
blood
of
the
witnesses
of
Jesus,
and
I
did
wonder--having
seen
her--with
great
wonder;
17:7 and
the
messenger
said
to
me,
`Wherefore
didst
thou
wonder
I--I
will
tell
thee
the
secret
of
the
woman
and
of
the
beast
that
[is]
carrying
her,
which
hath
the
seven
heads
and
the
ten
horns.
17:8 `The
beast
that
thou
didst
see:
it
was,
and
it
is
not;
and
it
is
about
to
come
up
out
of
the
abyss,
and
to
go
away
to
destruction,
and
wonder
shall
those
dwelling
upon
the
earth,
whose
names
have
not
been
written
upon
the
scroll
of
the
life
from
the
foundation
of
the
world,
beholding
the
beast
that
was,
and
is
not,
although
it
is.
17:9 `Here
[is]
the
mind
that
is
having
wisdom;
the
seven
heads
are
seven
mountains,
upon
which
the
woman
doth
sit,
17:10 and
there
are
seven
kings,
the
five
did
fall,
and
the
one
is,
the
other
did
not
yet
come,
and
when
he
may
come,
it
behoveth
him
to
remain
a
little
time;
17:11 and
the
beast
that
was,
and
is
not,
he
also
is
eighth,
and
out
of
the
seven
he
is,
and
to
destruction
he
doth
go
away.
17:12 `And
the
ten
horns
that
thou
sawest,
are
ten
kings,
who
a
kingdom
did
not
yet
receive,
but
authority
as
kings
the
same
hour
do
receive
with
the
beast,
17:13 these
have
one
mind,
and
their
own
power
and
authority
to
the
beast
they
shall
give
over;
17:14 these
with
the
Lamb
shall
make
war,
and
the
Lamb
shall
overcome
them,
because
Lord
of
lords
he
is,
and
King
of
kings,
and
those
with
him
are
called,
and
choice,
and
stedfast.'
17:15 And
he
saith
to
me,
`The
waters
that
thou
didst
see,
where
the
whore
doth
sit,
are
peoples,
and
multitudes,
and
nations,
and
tongues;'
17:16 and
the
ten
horns
that
thou
didst
see
upon
the
beast,
these
shall
hate
the
whore,
and
shall
make
her
desolate
and
naked,
and
shall
eat
her
flesh,
and
shall
burn
her
in
fire,
17:17 for
God
did
give
into
their
hearts
to
do
its
mind,
and
to
make
one
mind,
and
to
give
their
kingdom
to
the
beast
till
the
sayings
of
God
may
be
complete,
17:18 and
the
woman
that
thou
didst
see
is
the
great
city
that
is
having
reign
over
the
kings
of
the
land.'
