    1Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and spoke with me, saying, 'Come, I will show you the judgment of the great prostitute who sits on many waters.'

    2With her, the kings of the earth committed sexual immorality, and the inhabitants of the earth were made drunk with the wine of her immorality.

    3Then he carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness. There I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was full of blasphemous names and had seven heads and ten horns.

    4The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, adorned with gold, precious stones, and pearls. She held in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of her immorality.

    5On her forehead was written a name: 'Mystery, Babylon the Great, the Mother of Prostitutes and of the Abominations of the Earth.'

    6I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints and the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. When I saw her, I was utterly amazed.

    7Then the angel said to me, 'Why are you amazed? I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the beast with the seven heads and ten horns that carries her.'

    8The beast you saw was, and is not, and is about to ascend from the abyss and go to destruction. Those who dwell on the earth, whose names have not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, will marvel when they see the beast, because it was, is not, and yet is.

    9This calls for a mind with wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits.

    10They are also seven kings: five have fallen, one is, and the other has not yet come. When he does come, he must remain for only a short time.

    11The beast that was, and is not, is an eighth, but it belongs to the seven, and it goes to destruction.

    12The ten horns you saw are ten kings, who have not yet received a kingdom, but they will receive authority as kings for one hour along with the beast.

    13These kings have one purpose, and they will give their power and authority to the beast.

    15Then he said to me, 'The waters you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations, and tongues.'

    16The ten horns you saw, and the beast, will hate the prostitute. They will leave her desolate and naked, devour her flesh, and burn her with fire.

    17For God has put it into their hearts to carry out His purpose by agreeing to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God are fulfilled.

    7As much as she glorified herself and lived luxuriously, give her that much torment and grief, because in her heart she says, 'I sit as a queen, I am no widow, and I will never see grief.'

    8Because of this, her plagues will come in a single day: death, mourning, and famine. She will be consumed by fire, for the mighty Lord God is the one who judges her.

    9The kings of the earth who committed sexual immorality with her and lived in luxury will weep and mourn over her when they see the smoke of her burning.

    10Standing far off because of the fear of her torment, they will say, 'Woe, woe to the great city, Babylon, the mighty city! For in one hour your judgment has come.'

    1After these things, I saw another angel descending from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was illuminated by his glory.

    2He cried out with a mighty voice, saying, 'Fallen, fallen is Babylon the Great! She has become a dwelling place for demons, a prison for every unclean spirit, and a cage for every unclean and detested bird.'

    3For all the nations have drunk the wine of the passion of her sexual immorality, the kings of the earth committed immorality with her, and the merchants of the earth have grown rich from the abundance of her luxurious living.

    4Then I heard another voice from heaven saying, 'Come out of her, my people, so that you do not share in her sins and so that you do not receive any of her plagues.'

    5For her sins have piled up to heaven, and God has remembered her injustices.

    17For in one hour such great wealth has been destroyed!' Every ship captain, all who travel by ship, sailors, and those who earn their living from the sea stood far off,

    18And they cried out as they watched the smoke of her burning, saying, 'What city is like the great city?'

    19And they threw dust on their heads and cried out, weeping and mourning, saying, 'Woe, woe to the great city, in which all who owned ships at sea became rich from her wealth! For in one hour she has been laid waste.'
