9 And another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone ^fworships the beast and its image and receives ^ga mark on his forehead or on his hand, 10 he also will drink ^hthe wine of God’s wrath, ⁱpoured full strength into the cup of his anger, and ^jhe will be tormented with fire and sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. 11 And ^kthe smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever, and ^lthey have no rest, day or night, these ^mworshipers of the beast and its image, and whoever receives the mark of its name.”

Revelation of John 17

The Great Prostitute and the Beast

1 Then ⁿone of the seven angels who had ^othe seven bowls came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the judgment of ^pthe great prostitute ^qwho is seated on many waters, 2 ^rwith whom the kings of the earth have committed sexual immorality, and ^swith the wine of whose sexual immorality ^tthe dwellers on earth have become drunk.” 3 And ^uhe carried me away in the Spirit ^vinto a wilderness, and I saw a woman sitting on ^wa scarlet beast that was full of ^xblasphemous names, and ^yit had seven heads and ten horns. 4 The woman ^zwas arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned ^aawith gold and jewels and pearls, holding in her hand ^aba golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of her sexual immorality. 5 And on her forehead was written a name of ^acmystery: ^ad“Babylon the great, mother of prostitutes and of earth’s abominations.” 6 And I saw the woman, drunk ^aewith the blood of the saints, the blood of ^afthe martyrs of Jesus. ^{▼▼Greek the witnesses to Jesus}

When I saw her, I marveled greatly. 7 But the angel said to me, “Why do you marvel? I will tell you ^ahthe mystery of the woman, and of the beast with seven heads and ten horns that carries her. 8 The beast that you saw ^aiwas, and is not, and ^ajis about to rise from ^akthe bottomless pit ^{▼▼Greek the abyss} and ^amgo to destruction. And ^anthe dwellers on earth whose names have not been written in ^aothe book of life from the foundation of the world will marvel to see the beast, because ^apit was and is not and is to come. 9 ^aqThis calls for a mind with wisdom: the seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman is seated; 10 they are also seven kings, five of whom have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come, and when he does come he must remain only a little while. 11 As for the beast ^arthat was and is not, it is an eighth but it belongs to the seven, and it goes to destruction. 12 And ^asthe ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have not yet received royal power, but they are to receive authority as kings ^atfor one hour, together with the beast. 13 These are of one mind, and they hand over their power and authority to the beast. 14 They ^auwill make war on the Lamb, and ^avthe Lamb will conquer them, for he is ^awLord of lords and ^axKing of kings, and those with him are ^aycalled and chosen and faithful.”

15 And the angel ^{▼▼Greek he} said to me, ^ba“The waters that you saw, where the prostitute is seated, are peoples and multitudes and nations and languages. 16 And ^bbthe ten horns that you saw, they and the beast ^bcwill hate the prostitute. They will make her ^bddesolate and ^benaked, and ^bfdevour her flesh and ^bgburn her up with fire, 17 for ^bhGod has put it into their hearts to carry out his purpose by being of one mind and ^bihanding over their royal power to the beast, until the words of God are fulfilled. 18 And the woman that you saw is ^bjthe great city that has dominion over the kings of the earth.”

Revelation of John 18:6

6 ^bkPay her back as she herself has paid back others,
and repay her ^bldouble for her deeds;
mix a double portion for her ^bmin the cup she mixed.
