1 And there came one of the sev­en an­gels which had the sev­en vials, and talked with me, say­ing unto me, Come hith­er; I will shew unto thee the judg­ment of the great whore that sit­teth upon many wa­ters: 2 With whom the kings of the earth have com­mit­ted for­ni­ca­tion, and the in­hab­i­tants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her for­ni­ca­tion. 3 So he car­ried me away in the spir­it into the wilder­ness: and I saw a wom­an sit upon a scar­let coloured beast, full of names of blas­phe­my, hav­ing sev­en heads and ten horns. 4 And the wom­an was ar­rayed in pur­ple and scar­let colour, and decked with gold and pre­cious stones and pearls, hav­ing a gold­en cup in her hand full of abom­i­na­tions and filth­i­ness of her for­ni­ca­tion: 5 And upon her fore­head was a name writ­ten, MYS­TERY, BABY­LON THE GREAT, THE MOTH­ER OF HAR­LOTS AND ABOM­I­NA­TIONS OF THE EARTH. 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 great ad­mi­ra­tion. 7 And the an­gel said unto me, Where­fore didst thou mar­vel? I will tell thee the mys­tery of the wom­an, and of the beast that car­ri­eth her, which hath the sev­en heads and ten horns. 8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall as­cend out of the bot­tom­less pit, and go into perdi­tion: and they that dwell on the earth shall won­der, whose names were not writ­ten in the book of life from the foun­da­tion of the world, when they be­hold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. 9 And here is the mind which hath wis­dom. The sev­en heads are sev­en moun­tains, on which the wom­an sit­teth. 10 And there are sev­en kings: five are fall­en, and one is, and the oth­er is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must con­tin­ue a short space. 11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the sev­en, and goeth into perdi­tion. 12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have re­ceived no king­dom as yet; but re­ceive pow­er as kings one hour with the beast. 13 These have one mind, and shall give their pow­er and strength unto the beast. 14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall over­come them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and cho­sen, and faith­ful. 15 And he saith unto me, The wa­ters which thou sawest, where the whore sit­teth, are peo­ples, and mul­ti­tudes, and na­tions, and tongues. 16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her des­o­late and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. 17 For God hath put in their hearts to ful­fil his will, and to agree, and give their king­dom unto the beast, un­til the words of God shall be ful­filled. 18 And the wom­an which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
