Revelation 17 (WEBP)
[1] One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and spoke with me, saying, “Come here. I will show you the judgment of the great prostitute who sits on many waters,
[2] with whom the kings of the earth committed sexual immorality. Those who dwell in the earth were made drunken with the wine of her sexual immorality.”
[3] He carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness. I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet-colored beast, full of blasphemous names, having seven heads and ten horns.
[4] The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of the sexual immorality of the earth.
[5] And on her forehead a name was written, “MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF THE PROSTITUTES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.”
[6] I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. When I saw her, I wondered with great amazement.
[7] The angel said to me, “Why do you wonder? I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns.
[8] The beast that you saw was, and is not; and is about to come up out of the abyss and to go into destruction. Those who dwell on the earth and whose names have not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world will marvel when they see that the beast was, and is not, and shall be present.°
[9] Here is the mind that has wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits.
[10] They are seven kings. Five have fallen, the one is, and the other has not yet come. When he comes, he must continue a little while.
[11] The beast that was, and is not, is himself also an eighth, and is of the seven; and he goes to destruction.
[12] The ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority as kings with the beast for one hour.
[13] These have one mind, and they give their power and authority to the beast.
[14] These will war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for he is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with him are called, chosen, and faithful.”
[15] He said to me, “The waters which you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations, and languages.
[16] The ten horns which you saw, they and the beast will hate the prostitute, will make her desolate, will strip her naked, will eat her flesh, and will burn her utterly with fire.
[17] For God has put in their hearts to do what he has in mind, to be of one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God should be accomplished.
[18] The woman whom you saw is the great city which reigns over the kings of the earth.”
Revelation 17:8 TR reads “yet is” instead of “shall be present”

Revelation 17 (KJVS)
[1] And G2532 there came G2064 (Aor2ActInd) one G1520 of G1537 the seven G2033 angels G32 which G3588 had G2192 (PresActPtc) the seven G2033 vials G5357, and G2532 talked G2980 (AorActInd) with G3326 me G1700, saying G3004 (PresActPtc) unto me G3427, Come hither G1204 (Impr); I will shew G1166 (FutActInd) unto thee G4671 the judgment G2917 of the great G3173 whore G4204 that sitteth G2521 (PresMidPasDepPtc) upon G1909 many G4183 waters G5204:
[2] With G3326 whom G3739 the kings G935 of the earth G1093 have committed fornication G4203 (AorActInd), and G2532 the inhabitants G2730 (PresActPtc) of the earth G1093 have been made drunk G3184 (AorPasInd) with G1537 the wine G3631 of her G846 fornication G4202.
[3] So G2532 he carried G667 me G3165 away G667 (AorActInd) in G1722 the spirit G4151 into G1519 the wilderness G2048: and G2532 I saw G1492 (Aor2ActInd) a woman G1135 sit G2521 (PresMidPasDepPtc) upon G1909 a scarlet coloured G2847 beast G2342, full of G1073 (PresActPtc) names G3686 of blasphemy G988, having G2192 (PresActPtc) seven G2033 heads G2776 and G2532 ten G1176 horns G2768.
[4] And G2532 the woman G1135 was G2258 (ImpfInd) arrayed G4016 (PerfPasPtc) in purple G4209 and G2532 scarlet colour G2847, and G2532 decked G5558 (PerfPasPtc) with gold G5557 and G2532 precious G5093 stones G3037 and G2532 pearls G3135, having G2192 (PresActPtc) a golden G5552 cup G4221 in G1722 her G846 hand G5495 full of G1073 (PresActPtc) abominations G946 and G2532 filthiness G168 of her G846 fornication G4202:
[5] And G2532 upon G1909 her G846 forehead G3359 [was] a name G3686 written G1125 (PerfPasPtc), MYSTERY G3466, BABYLON G897 THE GREAT G3173, THE MOTHER G3384 OF HARLOTS G4204 AND G2532 ABOMINATIONS G946 OF THE EARTH G1093.
[6] And G2532 I saw G1492 (Aor2ActInd) the woman G1135 drunken G3184 (PresActPtc) with G1537 the blood G129 of the saints G40, and G2532 with G1537 the blood G129 of the martyrs G3144 of Jesus G2424: and G2532 when I saw G1492 (Aor2ActPtc) her G846, I wondered G2296 (AorActInd) with great G3173 admiration G2295.
[7] And G2532 the angel G32 said G2036 (Aor2ActInd) unto me G3427, Wherefore G1302 didst thou marvel G2296 (AorActInd)? I G1473 will tell G2046 (FutActInd) thee G4671 the mystery G3466 of the woman G1135, and G2532 of the beast G2342 that carrieth G941 (PresActPtc) her G846, which G3588 hath G2192 (PresActPtc) the seven G2033 heads G2776 and G2532 ten G1176 horns G2768.
[8] The beast G2342 that G3739 thou sawest G1492 (Aor2ActInd) was G2258 (ImpfInd), and G2532 is G2076 (PresInd) not G3756; and G2532 shall G3195 (PresActInd) ascend G305 (PresActInf) out of G1537 the bottomless pit G12, and G2532 go G5217 (PresActInf) into G1519 perdition G684: and G2532 they that dwell G2730 (PresActPtc) on G1909 the earth G1093 shall wonder G2296 (FutMidDepInd), whose G3739 names G3686 were G1125 not G3756 written G1125 (PerfPasInd) in G1909 the book G975 of life G2222 from G575 the foundation G2602 of the world G2889, when they behold G991 (PresActPtc) the beast G2342 that was G3748 G2258 (ImpfInd), and G2532 is G2076 (PresInd) not G3756, and yet G2539 is G2076 (PresInd).
[9] And here G5602 [is] the mind G3563 which G3588 hath G2192 (PresActPtc) wisdom G4678. The seven G2033 heads G2776 are G1526 (PresInd) seven G2033 mountains G3735, on G1909 which G846 the woman G1135 sitteth G2521 (PresMidPasDepInd) G3699.
[10] And G2532 there are G1526 (PresInd) seven G2033 kings G935: five G4002 are fallen G4098 (Aor2ActInd), and G2532 one G1520 is G2076 (PresInd), [and] the other G243 is G2064 not yet G3768 come G2064 (Aor2ActInd); and G2532 when G3752 he cometh G2064 (Aor2ActSubj), he G846 must G1163 (PresInd) continue G3306 (AorActInf) a short space G3641.
[11] And G2532 the beast G2342 that G3739 was G2258 (ImpfInd), and G2532 is G2076 (PresInd) not G3756, even G2532 he G846 is G2076 (PresInd) the eighth G3590, and G2532 is G2076 (PresInd) of G1537 the seven G2033, and G2532 goeth G5217 (PresActInd) into G1519 perdition G684.
[12] And G2532 the ten G1176 horns G2768 which G3739 thou sawest G1492 (Aor2ActInd) are G1526 (PresInd) ten G1176 kings G935, which G3748 have received G2983 (Aor2ActInd) no G3768 kingdom G932 as yet G3768; but G235 receive G2983 (PresActInd) power G1849 as G5613 kings G935 one G3391 hour G5610 with G3326 the beast G2342.
[13] These G3778 have G2192 (PresActInd) one G3391 mind G1106, and G2532 shall give G1239 (PresActInd) their G1438 power G1411 and G2532 strength G1849 unto the beast G2342.
[14] These G3778 shall make war G4170 (FutActInd) with G3326 the Lamb G721, and G2532 the Lamb G721 shall overcome G3528 (FutActInd) them G846: for G3754 he is G2076 (PresInd) Lord G2962 of lords G2962, and G2532 King G935 of kings G935: and G2532 they that are with G3326 him G846 [are] called G2822, and G2532 chosen G1588, and G2532 faithful G4103.
[15] And G2532 he saith G3004 (PresActInd) unto me G3427, The waters G5204 which G3739 thou sawest G1492 (Aor2ActInd), where G3757 the whore G4204 sitteth G2521 (PresMidPasDepInd), are G1526 (PresInd) peoples G2992, and G2532 multitudes G3793, and G2532 nations G1484, and G2532 tongues G1100.
[16] And G2532 the ten G1176 horns G2768 which G3739 thou sawest G1492 (Aor2ActInd) upon G1909 the beast G2342, these G3778 shall hate G3404 (FutActInd) the whore G4204, and G2532 shall make G4160 (FutActInd) her G846 desolate G2049 (PerfPasPtc) and G2532 naked G1131, and G2532 shall eat G5315 (Fut2MidDepInd) her G846 flesh G4561, and G2532 burn G2618 (FutActInd) her G846 with G1722 fire G4442.
[17] For G1063 God G2316 hath put G1325 (AorActInd) in G1519 their G846 hearts G2588 to fulfil G4160 (AorActInf) his G846 will G1106, and G2532 to agree G4160 (AorActInf) G3391 G1106, and G2532 give G1325 (Aor2ActInf) their G846 kingdom G932 unto the beast G2342, until G891 the words G4487 of God G2316 shall be fulfilled G5055 (AorPasSubj).
[18] And G2532 the woman G1135 which G3739 thou sawest G1492 (Aor2ActInd) is G2076 (PresInd) that great G3173 city G4172, which G3588 reigneth G2192 (PresActPtc) G932 over G1909 the kings G935 of the earth G1093.
Young’s Literal Translation
Revelation 17 (YLT)
[1] And there came one of the seven messengers, who were having the seven vials, and he spake with me, saying to me, ‘Come, I will shew to thee the judgment of the great whore, who is sitting upon the many waters,
[2] with whom the kings of the earth did commit whoredom; and made drunk from the wine of her whoredom were those inhabiting the earth;’
[3] and he carried me away to a wilderness in the Spirit, and I saw a woman sitting upon a scarlet-coloured beast, full of names of evil-speaking, having seven heads and ten horns,
[4] and the woman was arrayed with purple and scarlet-colour, and gilded with gold, and precious stone, and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and uncleanness of her whoredom,
[5] and upon her forehead was a name written: ‘Secret, Babylon the Great, the Mother of the Whores, and the Abominations of the earth.’
[6] And I saw the woman drunken from the blood of the saints, and from the blood of the witnesses of Jesus, and I did wonder-having seen her-with great wonder;
[7] and the messenger said to me, ‘Wherefore didst thou wonder? I-I will tell thee the secret of the woman and of the beast that is carrying her, which hath the seven heads and the ten horns.
[8] ‘The beast that thou didst see: it was, and it is not; and it is about to come up out of the abyss, and to go away to destruction, and wonder shall those dwelling upon the earth, whose names have not been written upon the scroll of the life from the foundation of the world, beholding the beast that was, and is not, although it is.
[9] ‘Here is the mind that is having wisdom; the seven heads are seven mountains, upon which the woman doth sit,
[10] and there are seven kings, the five did fall, and the one is, the other did not yet come, and when he may come, it behoveth him to remain a little time;
[11] and the beast that was, and is not, he also is eighth, and out of the seven he is, and to destruction he doth go away.
[12] ‘And the ten horns that thou sawest, are ten kings, who a kingdom did not yet receive, but authority as kings the same hour do receive with the beast,
[13] these have one mind, and their own power and authority to the beast they shall give over;
[14] these with the Lamb shall make war, and the Lamb shall overcome them, because Lord of lords he is, and King of kings, and those with him are called, and choice, and stedfast.’
[15] And he saith to me, ‘The waters that thou didst see, where the whore doth sit, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues;’
[16] and the ten horns that thou didst see upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and shall burn her in fire,
[17] for God did give into their hearts to do its mind, and to make one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast till the sayings of God may be complete,
[18] and the woman that thou didst see is the great city that is having reign over the kings of the land.’
