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 on 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”

[1] And there came () one of the seven angels which had () the seven vials, and talked () with me, saying () unto me, Come hither; () I will shew () unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth () upon many waters:
[2] with whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, () and the inhabitants () of the earth have been made drunk () with the wine of her fornication.
[3] So he carried me away () in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw () a woman sit () upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of () names of blasphemy, having () seven heads and ten horns.
[4] And the woman was () arrayed () in purple and scarlet colour, and decked () with gold and precious stones and pearls, having () a golden cup in her hand full of () abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
[5] and upon her forehead was a name written, () MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
[6] And I saw () the woman drunken () with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw () her, I wondered () with great admiration.
[7] And the angel said () unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? () I will tell () thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth () her, which hath () the seven heads and ten horns.
[8] The beast that thou sawest () was, () and is () not; and shall () ascend () out of the bottomless pit, and go () into perdition: and they that dwell () on the earth shall wonder, () whose names were not written () in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold () the beast that was, () and is () not, and yet is. ()
[9] And here is the mind which hath () wisdom. The seven heads are () seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. ()
[10] And there are () seven kings: five are fallen, () and one is, () and the other is not yet come; () and when he cometh, () he must () continue () a short space.
[11] And the beast that was, () and is () not, even he is () the eighth, and is () of the seven, and goeth () into perdition.
[12] And the ten horns which thou sawest () are () ten kings, which have received () no kingdom as yet; but receive () power as kings one hour with the beast.
[13] These have () one mind, and shall give () their power and strength unto the beast.
[14] These shall make war () with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome () them: for he is () Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
[15] And he saith () unto me, The waters which thou sawest, () where the whore sitteth, () are () peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
[16] And the ten horns which thou sawest () upon the beast, these shall hate () the whore, and shall make () her desolate () and naked, and shall eat () her flesh, and burn () her with fire.
[17] For God hath put () in their hearts to fulfil () his will, and to agree, () and give () their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled. ()
[18] And the woman which thou sawest () is () that great city, which reigneth () over the kings of the earth.
