⁹ in like manner also, that the ^(A)women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with propriety and ^[a]moderation, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly clothing,

² For I am ^(A)jealous for you with godly jealousy. For ^(B)I have betrothed you to one husband, ^(C)that I may present you ^(D)as a chaste virgin to Christ. ³ But I fear, lest somehow, as ^(E)the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds ^(F)may be corrupted from the ^[a]simplicity that is in Christ.

¹⁶ Moreover the Lord says:

²⁴ And so it shall be:

³ So he carried me away in the Spirit ^(A)into the wilderness. And I saw a woman sitting ^(B)on a scarlet beast which was full of ^(C)names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. ⁴ The woman ^(D)was arrayed in purple and scarlet, ^(E)and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, ^(F)having in her hand a golden cup ^(G)full of abominations and the filthiness of ^[a]her fornication. ⁵ And on her forehead a name was written:

^(H)MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT,
THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS
AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS
OF THE EARTH.

Jezebel’s Violent Death

³⁰ Now when Jehu had come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; ^(A)and she put paint on her eyes and adorned her head, and looked through a window.

¹⁴ So she took off her widow’s garments, covered herself with a veil and wrapped herself, and ^(A)sat in an open place which was on the way to Timnah; for she saw ^(B)that Shelah was grown, and she was not given to him as a wife. ¹⁵ When Judah saw her, he thought she was a harlot, because she had covered her face.
