Revelation 17:7-8

English Standard Version

⁷ But the angel said to me, “Why do you marvel? I will tell you ^(A)the mystery of the woman, and of the beast with seven heads and ten horns that carries her. ⁸ The beast that you saw ^(B)was, and is not, and ^(C)is about to rise from ^(D)the bottomless pit^[a] and ^(E)go to destruction. And ^(F)the dwellers on earth whose names have not been written in ^(G)the book of life from the foundation of the world will marvel to see the beast, because ^(H)it was and is not and is to come.
