Revelation 17:9–18

⁹“^aHere is the mind which has wisdom. The ^bseven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits,

¹⁰and they are seven ^akings; five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come; and when he comes, he must remain a little while.

¹¹“And the beast which ^awas and is not, is himself also an eighth and is one of the seven, and he ^bgoes to destruction.

¹²“And the ^aten horns which you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but they receive authority as kings with the beast ^bfor one hour.

¹³“These have ^aone ¹purpose, and they give their power and authority to the beast.

¹⁴“These will wage ^awar against the Lamb, and the Lamb will ^bovercome them, because He is ^cLord of lords and ^dKing of kings, and ^ethose who are with Him are the ^fcalled and elect and faithful.”

¹⁵And he ^*said to me, “The ^awaters which you saw where the harlot sits, are ^bpeoples and crowds and nations and tongues.

¹⁶“And the ^aten horns which you saw, and the beast, these will hate the harlot and will ^blay waste to her and make her ^cnaked, and will ^deat her flesh and will ^eburn her up with fire.

¹⁷“For ^aGod gave it in their hearts to do His ¹purpose both ²by ^bdoing their own common purpose and by giving their kingdom to the beast, until the ^cwords of God will be finished.

¹⁸“And the woman whom you saw is ^athe great city, which has a kingdom over the kings of the earth.”
