[1]Then one of the seven messengers had one of the seven bowls came and spoke to me. And he said, "Come, and I will show you the judgment of the great harlot who sits upon many waters."
[2]"The kingsⓘ of the earth committed fornication with her and they became intoxicated by her wine."
[3]Then he brought me into the wilderness. And I saw the woman sitting on the beast, whose appearance was like the appearance of lilies and was full of slanderous names, having seven heads and ten horns.
[4]And the woman was clothed in red garments with the appearance of lilies. And on her was a great exceeding gold with precious stones and pearls. A golden cup full of impurities was in her hand.
[5]And written on her forehead was the name of the mystery of the great city, Babel, the mother of harlots and the defiled of the earth.
[6]And I saw that the woman drank the blood of the holy ones and the blood of the congregations of Yeshua. I had great astonishment when I saw her.
[7]And the messenger said to me, "Why are you astonished? I want to tell you the mystery of the woman, and of the beast which she sat upon—he has seven heads and ten horns."
[8]The beast that you saw was and was not, and it will come once more from the deep and will go to Sheol. The people of the earth will be amazed at it when they see the beast that was and is not even though it is.
[9]And here is the matter that requires intellect, wisdom and understanding: the seven heads are seven mountains that the womanⓘ dwells upon; they are the seven kings.ⓘ
[10]But five of these fell, and one is, the second is not yet; but whenⓘ he comes, it must be for a short time.
[11]And the beast that is not is the eighth for he was one of the seven but went to Sheol.ⓘ
[12]And the ten horns that you saw are ten kingsⓘ who have not yet received their kingdoms, but they will rule as kings with the beast for a short time.
[13]And they have one purpose,ⓘ and they will give their power and strength to the beast.
[14]And they will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will prevail over them. For He is Lord of lords, and King of kings; and with Him are the chosen and the faithful.
[15]And he said to me, "The waters where the harlot lives that I saw are peoples, corporations, and nations."
[16]And the ten horns that you saw on the beast, will hate the harlot, and will make a wasteland of her, and eat her flesh and burn her with fire.ⓘ
[17]For 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 allowed their hearts to do His will, to give her riches to the beast until she is devastated by the words of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄.
[18]And the woman that you saw is the great city, the kings over all the kings of the earth.
