Revelation 17:1-3

New International Reader's Version

Babylon the Great Prostitute Sits on the Beast

17 One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came to me. He said, “Come. I will show you how the great prostitute will be punished. She is the one who sits by many waters. ² The kings of the earth took part in her evil ways. The people living on earth were drunk with the wine of her terrible sins.”

³ Then in a vision the angel carried me away to a desert. There the Holy Spirit showed me a woman sitting on a bright red beast. It was covered with names that say evil things about God. It had seven heads and ten horns.
