Revelation 17:9-12

English Standard Version

^9 (A)This calls for a mind with wisdom: the seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman is seated; ¹⁰ they are also seven kings, five of whom have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come, and when he does come he must remain only a little while. ¹¹ As for the beast ^(B)that was and is not, it is an eighth but it belongs to the seven, and it goes to destruction. ¹² And ^(C)the ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have not yet received royal power, but they are to receive authority as kings ^(D)for one hour, together with the beast.
