*
Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and said to me , "
Come ,
I will show you the judgment of the great harlot who is seated upon many waters ,
*
with whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication ,
and with the wine of whose fornication the dwellers on earth have become drunk ."
*
And he carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness ,
and I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast which was full of blasphemous names ,
and it had seven heads and ten horns .
*
The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet ,
and bedecked with gold and jewels and pearls ,
holding in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of her fornication ;
*
and on her forehead was written a name of mystery : "
Babylon the great ,
mother of harlots and of earth '
s abominations ."
*
And I saw the woman ,
drunk with the blood of the saints and the blood of the martyrs of Jesus .
When I saw her I marveled greatly .
*
But the angel said to me , "
Why marvel ?
I will tell you the mystery of the woman ,
and of the beast with seven heads and ten horns that carries her .
