Revelation 17:3-6

New American Standard Bible 1995

³ And ^(A)he carried me away ^[a](B)in the Spirit ^(C)into a wilderness; and I saw a woman sitting on a ^(D)scarlet beast, full of ^(E)blasphemous names, having ^(F)seven heads and ten horns. ⁴ The woman ^(G)was clothed in purple and scarlet, and ^[b]adorned with gold and precious ^[c]stones and pearls, having in her hand ^(H)a gold cup full of abominations and of the unclean things of her immorality, ⁵ and on her forehead a name was written, a ^(I)mystery, “^(J)BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF ^(K)THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.” ⁶ And I saw the woman drunk with ^(L)the blood of the ^[d]saints, and with the blood of the witnesses of Jesus. When I saw her, I wondered ^[e]greatly.
