The Scarlet Woman and the Scarlet Beast
1 Then aone of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and talked with me, saying1 to me, “Come, bI will show you the judgment of cthe great harlot dwho sits on many waters,
2 awith whom the kings of the earth committed fornication, and bthe inhabitants of the earth were made drunk with the wine of her fornication.”
3 So he carried me away in the Spirit ainto the wilderness. And I saw a woman sitting bon a scarlet beast which was full of cnames of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
4 The woman awas arrayed in purple and scarlet, band adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, chaving in her hand a golden cup dfull of abominations and the filthiness of1 her fornication.
