Rev 8-17 | ESV | STEP | When the Lamb opened the seventh seal , there was silence in heaven for about half an hour .

1 When the Lamb opened ^athe seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. 2 Then I saw the seven angels ^bwho stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them. 3 And another angel came and stood ^cat the altar with a golden censer, and he was given much incense to offer with ^dthe prayers of all the saints on ^ethe golden altar before the throne, 4 and ^fthe smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, rose before God from the hand of the angel. 5 Then the angel took the censer and ^gfilled it with fire from the altar and threw it on the earth, and ^hthere were peals of ⁱthunder, rumblings, ^{▼▼Or voices, or sounds} flashes of lightning, and an earthquake.

The Seven Trumpets

6 Now the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared to blow them.

7 The first angel blew his trumpet, and there followed ^khail and ^lfire, mixed with blood, and these were thrown upon the earth. And a ^mthird of the earth was burned up, and a third of ⁿthe trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up.

8 The second angel blew his trumpet, and something like ^oa great mountain, burning with fire, was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea ^pbecame blood. 9 A third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of ^qthe ships were destroyed.

10 The third angel blew his trumpet, and ^ra great star fell from heaven, blazing like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on ^sthe springs of water. 11 The name of the star is Wormwood. ^{▼▼ Wormwood is the name of a plant and of the bitter-tasting extract derived from it} A third of the waters ^ubecame wormwood, and many people died from the water, ^vbecause it had been made bitter.

12 The fourth angel blew his trumpet, and a third of ^wthe sun was struck, and a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of their light might be darkened, and a third of the day might be kept from shining, and likewise a third of the night.

13 Then I looked, and I heard an eagle crying with a loud voice as it flew directly overhead, ^x“Woe, woe, woe to those who dwell on the earth, at the blasts of the other trumpets that the three angels are about to blow!”

Revelation of John 9

1 And the fifth angel blew his trumpet, and ^yI saw a star fallen from heaven to earth, and he was given ^zthe key to the shaft of ^aathe bottomless pit. ^{▼▼Greek the abyss; also verses 2, 11} 2 He opened the shaft of the bottomless pit, and from the shaft ^acrose smoke like the smoke of a great furnace, and ^adthe sun and the air were darkened with the smoke from the shaft. 3 Then from the smoke came ^aelocusts on the earth, and they were given power like the power of scorpions of the earth. 4 They were told ^afnot to harm ^agthe grass of the earth or any green plant or any tree, but only those people who do not have ^ahthe seal of God on their foreheads. 5 They were allowed to torment them ^aifor five months, but not to kill them, and their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it stings someone. 6 And in those days ^ajpeople will seek death and will not find it. They will long to die, but death will flee from them.

7 ^akIn appearance the locusts were like horses prepared for battle: ^alon their heads were what looked like crowns of gold; their faces were ^amlike human faces, 8 their hair like women’s hair, and ^antheir teeth like lions’ teeth; 9 they had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the noise of their wings was ^aolike the noise of many chariots with ^aphorses rushing into battle. 10 They have tails and stings like scorpions, and their power to hurt people ^aqfor five months is in their tails. 11 They have ^aras king over them the angel of the bottomless pit. His name in Hebrew is ^asAbaddon, and in Greek he is called Apollyon. ^{▼▼ Abaddon means destruction; Apollyon means destroyer}

12 ^auThe first woe has passed; behold, two woes are still to come.

13 Then the sixth angel blew his trumpet, and I heard a voice from ^avthe four horns of the golden altar before God, 14 saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release ^awthe four angels who are bound at ^axthe great river Euphrates.” 15 So the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour, the day, the month, and the year, were released ^ayto kill a third of mankind. 16 The number of ^azmounted troops was ^batwice ten thousand times ten thousand; ^bbI heard their number. 17 And this is how I saw the horses in my vision and those who rode them: they wore breastplates the color of fire and of sapphire ^{▼▼Greek hyacinth} and of sulfur, and the heads of the horses were ^bdlike lions’ heads, and fire and smoke and sulfur came out of their mouths. 18 By these three plagues a third of mankind was killed, by the fire and smoke and sulfur coming out of their mouths. 19 For the power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails, for their tails are like serpents with heads, and by means of them they wound.

20 The rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, ^bedid not repent of ^bfthe works of their hands nor give up worshiping ^bgdemons ^bhand idols of gold and silver and bronze and stone and wood, which cannot see or hear or walk, 21 nor did they repent of their murders or their ^bisorceries or their sexual immorality or their thefts.

Revelation of John 10

The Angel and the Little Scroll

1 Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven, wrapped in a cloud, with ^bja rainbow over his head, and ^bkhis face was like the sun, and ^blhis legs like pillars of fire. 2 ^bmHe had a little scroll open in his hand. And he set his right foot on the sea, and his left foot on the land, 3 and called out with a loud voice, ^bnlike a lion roaring. When he called out, the seven thunders sounded. 4 And when the seven thunders had sounded, I was about to write, but I heard a voice from heaven saying, ^bo“Seal up what the seven thunders have said, and do not write it down.” 5 And the angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land ^bpraised his right hand to heaven 6 and swore by ^bqhim who lives forever and ever, ^brwho created heaven and what is in it, the earth and what is in it, and the sea and what is in it, that there would be no more delay, 7 but that ^bsin the days of the trumpet call to be sounded by the seventh angel, the mystery of God would be fulfilled, ^btjust as he announced to his servants ^{▼▼Greek bondservants} the prophets.

8 Then the voice that I had heard from heaven spoke to me again, saying, “Go, take the scroll that is open in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land.” 9 So I went to the angel and told him to give me the little scroll. And he said to me, ^bv“Take and ^bweat it; it will make your stomach bitter, but in your mouth it will be sweet as honey.” 10 And I took the little scroll from the hand of the angel and ate it. It was sweet as honey in my mouth, but when I had eaten it my stomach was made bitter. 11 And I was told, ^bx“You must again prophesy about many peoples and nations and languages and kings.”

Revelation of John 11

The Two Witnesses

1 Then I was given ^bya measuring rod like a staff, and I was told, “Rise and measure the temple of God and the altar and those who worship there, 2 but do not measure ^bzthe court outside the temple; leave that out, for ^cait is given over to the nations, and they will trample the holy city for ^cbforty-two months. 3 And I will grant authority to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for ^cc1,260 days, ^cdclothed in sackcloth.”

4 These are ^cethe two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth. 5 And if anyone would harm them, ^cffire pours from their mouth and consumes their foes. If anyone would harm them, ^cgthis is how he is doomed to be killed. 6 They have the power ^chto shut the sky, that no rain may fall during the days of their prophesying, and they have power over the waters to turn them into blood and ^cito strike the earth with every kind of plague, as often as they desire. 7 And when they have finished their testimony, ^cjthe beast that rises from ^ckthe bottomless pit ^{▼▼Or the abyss} ^cmwill make war on them and conquer them and kill them, 8 and their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city that symbolically ^{▼▼Greek spiritually} is called ^coSodom and ^cpEgypt, where their Lord was crucified. 9 For three and a half days some from the peoples and tribes and languages and nations will gaze at their dead bodies and ^cqrefuse to let them be placed in a tomb, 10 and ^crthose who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them and make merry and ^csexchange presents, because these two prophets ^cthad been a torment to those who dwell on the earth. 11 But after the three and a half days ^cua breath of life from God entered them, and they stood up on their feet, and great fear fell on those who saw them. 12 Then they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, ^cv“Come up here!” And ^cwthey went up to heaven ^cxin a cloud, and their enemies watched them. 13 And at that hour there was ^cya great earthquake, and ^cza tenth of the city fell. Seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the rest were terrified and ^dagave glory to ^dbthe God of heaven.

14 ^dcThe second woe has passed; behold, the third woe is soon to come.

The Seventh Trumpet

15 Then ^ddthe seventh angel blew his trumpet, and ^dethere were loud voices in heaven, saying, ^df“The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of ^dghis Christ, and ^dhhe shall reign forever and ever.” 16 And the twenty-four elders ^diwho sit on their thrones before God ^djfell on their faces and worshiped God, 17 saying,

“We give thanks to you, Lord God Almighty,
^dkwho is and who was,
for you have taken your great power
and ^dlbegun to reign.
18 The nations raged,
but ^dmyour wrath came,
and ^dnthe time for the dead to be judged,
and for rewarding your servants, ^{▼▼Greek bondservants} the prophets and saints,
and ^dpthose who fear your name,
both small and great,
and ^dqfor destroying the destroyers of the earth.”
19 Then ^drGod’s temple in heaven was opened, and ^dsthe ark of his covenant was seen within his temple. There were flashes of lightning, rumblings, ^{▼▼Or voices, or sounds} peals of thunder, an earthquake, and ^duheavy hail.

Revelation of John 12

The Woman and the Dragon

1 And a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman ^dvclothed with ^dwthe sun, with ^dxthe moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. 2 She was pregnant and ^dywas crying out in birth pains and the agony of giving birth. 3 And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great ^dzred dragon, ^eawith seven heads and ^ebten horns, and on his heads ^ecseven diadems. 4 His tail swept down ^eda third of the stars of heaven and ^eecast them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she bore her child ^efhe might devour it. 5 She gave birth to a male child, ^egone who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron, but her child was ^ehcaught up to God and to his throne, 6 and the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, in which she is to be nourished for ^ei1,260 days.

Satan Thrown Down to Earth

7 Now war arose in heaven, ^ejMichael and ^ekhis angels fighting against the dragon. And the dragon and his angels fought back, 8 but he was defeated, and there was no longer any place for them in heaven. 9 And ^elthe great dragon was thrown down, ^emthat ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, ^enthe deceiver of the whole world— ^eohe was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him. 10 And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, “Now ^epthe salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ have come, for the accuser of our brothers ^{▼▼Or brothers and sisters} has been thrown down, ^erwho accuses them day and night before our God. 11 And ^esthey have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for ^etthey loved not their lives ^eueven unto death. 12 Therefore, ^evrejoice, O heavens and you who dwell in them! But ^ewwoe to you, O earth and sea, for the devil has come down to you in great wrath, because ^exhe knows that his time is short!”

13 And when the dragon saw that he had been thrown down to the earth, he pursued ^eythe woman who had given birth to the male child. 14 But the woman was given the two ^ezwings of the great eagle so that she might fly from the serpent ^fainto the wilderness, to the place where she is to be nourished ^fbfor a time, and times, and half a time. 15 The serpent poured water ^fclike a river out of his mouth after the woman, to sweep her away with a flood. 16 But the earth came to the help of the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed the river that the dragon had poured from his mouth. 17 Then the dragon became furious with the woman and went off ^fdto make war on the rest of ^feher offspring, ^ffon those who keep the commandments of God and hold to ^fgthe testimony of Jesus. And he stood ^{▼▼Some manuscripts And I stood, connecting the sentence with 13:1} on the sand of the sea.

Revelation of John 13

The First Beast

1 And I saw a beast rising out of the sea, ^fiwith ten horns and seven heads, with ten diadems on its horns and ^fjblasphemous names on its heads. 2 And the beast that I saw was ^fklike a leopard; its feet were like ^fla bear’s, and its mouth was like ^fma lion’s mouth. And to it ^fnthe dragon gave his power and ^fohis throne and great authority. 3 One of its heads seemed to have a mortal wound, but its mortal wound was healed, and ^fpthe whole earth marveled as they followed the beast. 4 And they worshiped the dragon, for he had given his authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, ^fq“Who is like the beast, and who can fight against it?”

5 And the beast was given ^fra mouth uttering haughty and blasphemous words, and it was allowed to exercise authority for ^fsforty-two months. 6 It opened its mouth to utter blasphemies against God, blaspheming his name and his dwelling, ^{▼▼Or tabernacle} that is, those who dwell in heaven. 7 Also it was allowed ^futo make war on the saints and to conquer them. ^{▼▼Some manuscripts omit this sentence} And authority was given it over every tribe and people and language and nation, 8 and all ^fwwho dwell on earth will worship it, everyone whose name has not been written before the foundation of the world in ^fxthe book of life of ^fythe Lamb ^fzwho was slain. 9 ^gaIf anyone has an ear, let him hear:

10 ^gbIf anyone is to be taken captive,
to captivity he goes;
^gcif anyone is to be slain with the sword,
with the sword must he be slain.
^gdHere is a call for the endurance and faith of the saints.

The Second Beast

11 Then ^geI saw another beast rising out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb and it spoke like a dragon. 12 It exercises all the authority of the first beast in its presence, ^{▼▼Or on its behalf} and makes the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, ^ggwhose mortal wound was healed. 13 ^ghIt performs great signs, even ^gimaking fire come down from heaven to earth in front of people, 14 and by the signs that it is allowed to work in the presence of ^{▼▼Or on behalf of} the beast ^gkit deceives those who dwell on earth, telling them to make an image for the beast ^glthat was wounded by the sword and yet lived. 15 And it was allowed to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast might even speak and might cause those who would not ^gmworship the image of the beast ^gnto be slain. 16 Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, ^{▼▼Greek bondservant} ^gpto be marked on the right hand or the forehead, 17 so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, ^gqthe name of the beast or ^grthe number of its name. 18 ^gsThis calls for wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number ^gtof a man, and his number is 666. ^{▼▼Some manuscripts 616}

Revelation of John 14

The Lamb and the 144,000

1 Then I looked, and behold, on ^gvMount Zion ^gwstood the Lamb, and with him ^gx144,000 who ^gyhad his name and his Father’s name written ^gzon their foreheads. 2 And I heard a voice from heaven ^halike the roar of many waters and ^hblike the sound of loud thunder. The voice I heard was like the sound of ^hcharpists playing on their harps, 3 and they were singing ^hda new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and before the elders. ^heNo one could learn that song except the 144,000 who had been redeemed from the earth. 4 It is these who have not defiled themselves with women, for ^hfthey are virgins. It is these ^hgwho follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These have been redeemed from mankind as ^hhfirstfruits for God and the Lamb, 5 and ^hiin their mouth no lie was found, for they are ^hjblameless.

The Messages of the Three Angels

6 Then I saw another angel ^hkflying directly overhead, with an eternal gospel to proclaim to ^hlthose who dwell on earth, to every nation and tribe and language and people. 7 And he said with a loud voice, ^hm“Fear God and ^hngive him glory, because the hour of his judgment has come, and ^howorship him who made heaven and earth, the sea and the ^hpsprings of water.”

8 Another angel, a second, followed, saying, ^hq“Fallen, fallen is ^hrBabylon the great, ^hsshe who made all nations drink ^htthe wine of the passion ^{▼▼Or wrath} of her sexual immorality.”

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

12 ^idHere is a call for the endurance of the saints, those who ^iekeep the commandments of God and their faith in Jesus. ^{▼▼Greek and the faith of Jesus}

13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Write this: ^igBlessed are the dead ^ihwho die in the Lord from now on.” “Blessed indeed,” says the Spirit, ⁱⁱ“that they may rest from their labors, for their deeds follow them!”

The Harvest of the Earth

14 Then I looked, and behold, a white cloud, and seated on the cloud one ^ijlike a son of man, ^ikwith a golden crown on his head, and a sharp sickle in his hand. 15 And another angel ^ilcame out of the temple, calling with a loud voice to him who sat on the cloud, ^im“Put in your sickle, and reap, for the hour to reap has come, for ⁱⁿthe harvest of the earth is fully ripe.” 16 So he who sat on the cloud swung his sickle across the earth, and the earth was reaped.

17 Then another angel came out of the temple in heaven, and he too had a sharp sickle. 18 And another angel came out from the altar, ^iothe angel who has authority over the fire, and he called with a loud voice to the one who had the sharp sickle, “Put in your sickle and gather the clusters from the vine of the earth, ^ipfor its grapes are ripe.” 19 So the angel swung his sickle across the earth and gathered the grape harvest of the earth and threw it into the great ^iqwinepress of the wrath of God. 20 And ^irthe winepress was trodden ^isoutside the city, and blood flowed from the winepress, as high as ^ita horse’s bridle, for 1,600 stadia. ^{▼▼About 184 miles; a stadion was about 607 feet or 185 meters}

Revelation of John 15

The Seven Angels with Seven Plagues

1 Then ^ivI saw another sign in heaven, great and amazing, ^iwseven angels with seven plagues, which are the last, for with them the wrath of God is finished.

2 And I saw ^ixwhat appeared to be a sea of glass mingled with fire—and also those ^iywho had conquered the beast and its image and ^izthe number of its name, standing beside the sea of glass ^jawith harps of God in their hands. 3 And they sing ^jbthe song of Moses, ^jcthe servant ^{▼▼Greek bondservant} of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying,

^je“Great and amazing are your deeds,
O Lord God the Almighty!
^jfJust and true are your ways,
O King of the nations! ^{▼▼Some manuscripts the ages}
4 ^jhWho will not fear, O Lord,
and glorify your name?
For you alone are ^jiholy.
^jjAll nations will come
and worship you,
for your righteous acts have been revealed.”
5 After this I looked, and ^jkthe sanctuary of ^jlthe tent ^{▼▼Or tabernacle} of witness in heaven was opened, 6 and out of the sanctuary came ^jnthe seven angels with the seven plagues, clothed in pure, bright ^jolinen, ^jpwith golden sashes around their chests. 7 And one of ^jqthe four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven ^jrgolden bowls full of the wrath of God ^jswho lives forever and ever, 8 and ^jtthe sanctuary was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from his power, and ^juno one could enter the sanctuary until the seven plagues of the seven angels were finished.

Revelation of John 16

The Seven Bowls of God’s Wrath

1 Then I heard a loud voice from the temple telling ^jvthe seven angels, “Go and ^jwpour out on the earth ^jxthe seven bowls of the wrath of God.”

2 So the first angel went and poured out his bowl on the earth, and harmful and painful ^jysores came upon the people who bore ^jzthe mark of the beast and worshiped its image.

3 The second angel poured out his bowl into the sea, and ^kait became like the blood of a corpse, and ^kbevery living thing died that was in the sea.

4 The third angel poured out his bowl into ^kcthe rivers and the springs of water, and ^kdthey became blood. 5 And I heard the angel in charge of the waters ^{▼▼Greek angel of the waters} say,

^kf“Just are you, ^kgO Holy One, ^khwho is and who was,
for you brought these judgments.
6 For ^kithey have shed the blood of ^kjsaints and prophets,
and ^kkyou have given them blood to drink.
It is what they deserve!”
7 And I heard ^klthe altar saying,

“Yes, Lord God the Almighty,
^kmtrue and just are your judgments!”
8 The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was allowed to scorch people ^knwith fire. 9 They were scorched by the fierce heat, and ^kothey cursed ^{▼▼Greek blasphemed; also verses 11, 21} the name of God who had power over these plagues. ^kqThey did not repent ^krand give him glory.

10 The fifth angel poured out his bowl on ^ksthe throne of the beast, and ^ktits kingdom was plunged into darkness. People gnawed their tongues in anguish 11 and cursed ^kuthe God of heaven for their pain and ^kvsores. ^kwThey did not repent of their deeds.

12 The sixth angel poured out his bowl on ^kxthe great river Euphrates, and ^kyits water was dried up, ^kzto prepare the way for the kings ^lafrom the east. 13 And I saw, coming out of the mouth of ^lbthe dragon and out of the mouth of ^lcthe beast and out of the mouth of ^ldthe false prophet, three ^leunclean spirits like ^lffrogs. 14 For they are ^lgdemonic spirits, ^lhperforming signs, who go abroad to the kings of the whole world, ^lito assemble them for battle on ^ljthe great day of God the Almighty. 15 (“Behold, ^lkI am coming like a thief! ^llBlessed is the one who stays awake, keeping his garments on, ^lmthat he may not go about naked and be seen exposed!”) 16 And ^lnthey assembled them at the place that in Hebrew is called ^loArmageddon.

The Seventh Bowl

17 The seventh angel poured out his bowl into ^lpthe air, and a loud voice came out of the temple, from the throne, saying, ^lq“It is done!” 18 And there were ^lrflashes of lightning, rumblings, ^{▼▼Or voices, or sounds} peals of thunder, and ^lta great earthquake ^lusuch as there had never been since man was on the earth, so great was that earthquake. 19 ^lvThe great city ^lwwas split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell, and God ^lxremembered ^lyBabylon the great, ^lzto make her drain the cup of the wine of the fury of his wrath. 20 And ^maevery island fled away, and no mountains were to be found. 21 And ^mbgreat hailstones, about one hundred pounds ^{▼▼Greek a talent in weight} each, fell from heaven on people; and ^mdthey cursed God for ^methe plague of the hail, because the plague was so severe.

Revelation of John 17

The Great Prostitute and the Beast

1 Then ^mfone of the seven angels who had ^mgthe seven bowls came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the judgment of ^mhthe great prostitute ^miwho is seated on many waters, 2 ^mjwith whom the kings of the earth have committed sexual immorality, and ^mkwith the wine of whose sexual immorality ^mlthe dwellers on earth have become drunk.” 3 And ^mmhe carried me away in the Spirit ^mninto a wilderness, and I saw a woman sitting on ^moa scarlet beast that was full of ^mpblasphemous names, and ^mqit had seven heads and ten horns. 4 The woman ^mrwas arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned ^mswith gold and jewels and pearls, holding in her hand ^mta golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of her sexual immorality. 5 And on her forehead was written a name of ^mumystery: ^mv“Babylon the great, mother of prostitutes and of earth’s abominations.” 6 And I saw the woman, drunk ^mwwith the blood of the saints, the blood of ^mxthe 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 ^mzthe mystery of the woman, and of the beast with seven heads and ten horns that carries her. 8 The beast that you saw ^nawas, and is not, and ^nbis about to rise from ^ncthe bottomless pit ^{▼▼Greek the abyss} and ^nego to destruction. And ^nfthe dwellers on earth whose names have not been written in ^ngthe book of life from the foundation of the world will marvel to see the beast, because ^nhit was and is not and is to come. 9 ⁿⁱThis 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 ^njthat was and is not, it is an eighth but it belongs to the seven, and it goes to destruction. 12 And ^nkthe ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have not yet received royal power, but they are to receive authority as kings ^nlfor 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 ^nmwill make war on the Lamb, and ⁿⁿthe Lamb will conquer them, for he is ^noLord of lords and ^npKing of kings, and those with him are ^nqcalled and chosen and faithful.”

15 And the angel ^{▼▼Greek he} said to me, ^ns“The waters that you saw, where the prostitute is seated, are peoples and multitudes and nations and languages. 16 And ^ntthe ten horns that you saw, they and the beast ^nuwill hate the prostitute. They will make her ^nvdesolate and ^nwnaked, and ^nxdevour her flesh and ^nyburn her up with fire, 17 for ^nzGod has put it into their hearts to carry out his purpose by being of one mind and ^oahanding over their royal power to the beast, until the words of God are fulfilled. 18 And the woman that you saw is ^obthe great city that has dominion over the kings of the earth.”
