and upon her forehead a name written, Mystery, great Babylon, the mother of the harlots, and of the abominations of the earth.

And one of the seven angels, which had the seven bowls, came and spoke with me, saying, Come here, I will shew thee the sentence of the great harlot who sits upon the many waters;

And he says to me, The waters which thou sawest, where the harlot sits, are peoples and multitudes and nations and tongues.

And the ten horns which thou sawest, and the beast, these shall hate the harlot, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and shall burn her with fire;

for true and righteous are his judgments; for he has judged the great harlot which corrupted the earth with her fornication, and has avenged the blood of his bondmen at her hand.
