Revelation 17:2-6
New American Standard Bible
2 with whom (A)the kings of the earth committed acts of sexual immorality, and (B)those who live on the earth (C)became drunk with the wine of her sexual immorality.” 3 And (D)he carried me away [a](E)in the Spirit (F)into a wilderness; and I saw a woman sitting on a (G)scarlet beast, full of (H)blasphemous names, having (I)seven heads and ten horns. 4 The woman (J)was clothed in purple and scarlet, and [b]adorned with gold, precious [c]stones, and pearls, holding in her hand (K)a gold cup full of abominations and of the unclean things of her sexual immorality, 5 and on her forehead a name was written, [d]a (L)mystery: “(M)BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES AND OF (N)THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.” 6 And I saw the woman drunk with (O)the blood of the [e]saints, and with the blood of the witnesses of Jesus. When I saw her, I wondered [f]greatly.
