The Scarlet Woman and the Scarlet Beast

17 Then ^(A)one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and talked with me, saying ^[a]to me, “Come, ^(B)I will show you the judgment of ^(C)the great harlot ^(D)who sits on many waters,

^2 (A)with whom the kings of the earth committed fornication, and ^(B)the inhabitants of the earth were made drunk with the wine of her fornication.”

⁴ The woman ^(A)was arrayed in purple and scarlet, ^(B)and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, ^(C)having in her hand a golden cup ^(D)full of abominations and the filthiness of ^[a]her fornication.
