And one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and spoke with me, saying, Come here; I will show you the  ¹judgment of the  ²great  ³harlot who sits upon the many waters,

With whom the kings of the earth have committed  ¹fornication, and those who dwell on the earth have been made drunk with the  ²wine of her fornication.

And he carried me away in  ¹spirit into a  ²wilderness; and I saw a woman sitting upon a  ³scarlet  ⁴beast, full of names of  ⁵blasphemy, having  ⁶seven heads and ten horns.

And the woman was clothed in  ¹purple and  ²scarlet, and gilded with  ³gold and precious stone and pearls, having in her hand a  ⁴golden cup full of abominations  ⁵and the unclean things of her fornication.

And on her forehead there was a name written,  ¹MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE  ²MOTHER OF THE HARLOTS AND THE  ³ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

And I saw the woman  ¹drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the  ²witnesses of Jesus. And I marveled with great marvel when I saw her.

And the angel said to me, Why did you marvel? I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the beast who bears her, who has the seven heads and the ten horns.

The  ¹beast that you saw was and is not and is about to come up out of the abyss and  ²go into perdition. And those who dwell on the earth, those whose names are not written from the foundation of the world in the  ³book of life, will marvel when they see the beast, that he was and is not and will be present.

Here is the mind which has wisdom. The seven heads are the  ¹seven mountains where the woman sits

And are  ¹seven kings: five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come; and when he comes, he must remain only a short time.

And the beast who was and is not, he himself is  ¹also the eighth and is out of the seven and goes into perdition.

And the ten horns which you saw are  ¹ten kings, who have not yet received a kingdom but receive authority as kings for one hour with the beast.

These have one  ¹mind, and they give their power and authority to the beast.

These will make  ¹war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and they who are with Him, the called and  ²chosen and faithful, will also overcome them.

And he said to me, The  ¹waters which you saw, where the harlot sits, are peoples and multitudes and nations and tongues.

And the ten horns which you saw and the beast, these will  ¹hate the harlot and will make her desolate and naked and will eat her flesh and burn her utterly with fire.

For  ¹God has put it into their hearts to perform His  ²mind and to perform one mind and to give their kingdom to the beast until the words of God are accomplished.

And the  ¹woman whom you saw is the great city, which has a kingdom over the kings of the earth.

After these things I saw  ¹another Angel  ²coming down out of heaven, having great authority; and the earth was illumined with His glory.

And He cried with a strong voice, saying,  ¹Fallen, fallen is Babylon the Great! And she has become a dwelling place of demons and a  ²hold of every unclean spirit and a  ²hold of every unclean and hateful bird;

For all the nations  ¹have  ²drunk of the wine of the fury of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich by the power of her luxury.

And I heard another voice out of heaven, saying,  ¹Come out of her, My people, that you do not participate in her sins and that you do not receive her plagues;

For her sins have  ¹accumulated up to heaven, and God has remembered her  ²unrighteousnesses.

Pay her back even as she has paid, and  ¹double to her double according to her works; in the cup which she has mixed, mix to her double.

As much as she has glorified herself and lived luxuriously, as much torment and sorrow give to her; for she says in her heart, I sit a queen, and I am not a widow, and I shall by no means see sorrow.

Therefore in one day her plagues will come, death and sorrow and famine, and she will be utterly  ¹burned with fire; for the Lord God who judges her is strong.

And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived luxuriously with her, will weep and lament over her when they see the smoke of her burning,

Standing afar off because of fear of her torment, saying, Woe, woe, the great city, Babylon, the strong city, for in one hour your judgment has come!

And the merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her because no one buys their cargo anymore:

 ¹Cargo of gold and silver and precious stone and pearls and fine linen and purple and silk and scarlet, and every kind of  ²thyine wood, and every vessel of ivory, and every vessel of most precious wood and brass and iron and marble,

And cinnamon and  ¹amomum and incense and ointment and frankincense and wine and oil and fine flour and wheat and cattle and sheep, and cargo of horses and chariots and  ²slaves and  ³souls of men.

And the ripe fruits of your soul's lust have gone away from you, and all the sumptuous and splendid things have perished from you; and men will find them no more at all.

The merchants of these things, who became rich by her, will stand afar off because of the fear of her torment, weeping and mourning,

Saying, Woe, woe, the great city, which was clothed in fine linen and purple and scarlet, and gilded with gold and precious stone and pearl;

For in one hour such great wealth has become desolate! And every ship captain and everyone sailing to a place and sailors and all who work on the sea stood afar off

And cried out, seeing the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like the great city?

And they cast dust on their heads and cried out, weeping and mourning, saying, Woe, woe, the great city, by which all those who have ships on the sea became rich from her  ¹wealth, for in  ²one hour she has become desolate!

Be glad over her, O heaven and saints and apostles and prophets, because God has  ¹judged judgment for you upon her.

And a strong angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, Thus will Babylon, the great city, be  ¹thrown down with violence and shall be found no more at all.

And the sound of harp-singers and musicians and flutists and trumpeters shall be heard no more at all in you, and no craftsman of any craft shall be found anymore at all in you, and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in you,

And the light of a lamp shall shine no more at all in you, and the voice of bridegroom and bride shall be heard no more at all in you; for your merchants were the great ones of the earth, for by your  ¹sorcery all the nations were deceived.

And in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints and of all who have been slain on the earth.

After these things I heard as it were a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying,  ¹Hallelujah! The salvation and the glory and the power are of our God.

For true and righteous are His judgments; for He has judged the  ¹great harlot who corrupted the earth with her fornication, and He avenged the blood of His slaves  ²at her hand.

And a second time they said, Hallelujah! And her smoke goes up forever and ever.

And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshipped God, who sits upon the throne, saying,  ¹Amen, Hallelujah!

And a  ¹voice came out from the throne, saying, Praise our God, all His slaves and those who fear Him, the small and the great.

And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude and like the sound of  ¹many waters and like the sound of mighty thunders, saying, Hallelujah! For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns.

Let us rejoice and exult, and let us give the glory to Him, for the  ¹marriage of the Lamb has come, and His  ²wife has made herself ready.

And it was given to her that she should be clothed in fine linen, bright and  ¹clean; for the fine linen is the  ²righteousnesses of the saints.

And he said to me, Write, Blessed are they who are called to the  ¹marriage  ²dinner of the Lamb. And he said to me, These are the true words of God.

And I fell before his feet to worship him. And he said to me, Do not do this. I am your fellow slave and a fellow slave of your brothers who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God. For the testimony of Jesus is the  ¹spirit of the prophecy.

And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and  ¹He who sits on it called  ²Faithful and True, and in  ³righteousness He judges and makes war.

And His  ¹eyes are a flame of fire, and on His head are  ²many diadems, and He has a name written  ³which no one knows but Himself.

And He is clothed with a garment  ¹dipped in blood; and His name is called the  ²Word of God.

And the  ¹armies which are in heaven followed Him on white horses,  ²dressed in fine linen, white and clean.

And out of His mouth proceeds a sharp  ¹sword, that with it He might smite the nations; and He will  ²shepherd them with an iron rod; and He treads the  ³winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty.

And He has on His  ¹garment and on His thigh a name written, King Of KINGS And Lord Of LORDS.

And I saw an angel standing in the sun, and he cried out with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in mid-heaven, Come here; gather yourselves to the  ¹great dinner of God,

That you may eat the flesh of kings and the flesh of  ¹generals and the flesh of mighty men and the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them and the flesh of all men, both free and slave and small and great.

And I saw the beast and the  ¹kings of the earth and their  ²armies gathered together to make  ³war with Him who sits on the horse and with His army.

And the beast was seized, and with him the false prophet, who in his presence had done the signs by which he deceived those who received the mark of the beast and those who worshipped his image. These two were  ¹cast alive into the lake of fire, which burns with brimstone.

And the rest were killed with the sword which proceeds out of the mouth of Him who sits on the horse, and all the birds were filled with their flesh.
