^(C1)Then one of the ^(C2)seven angels who had the ^(C3)seven bowls came and spoke with me, saying, "Come here, I will show you ^(C4)the judgment of the ^(C5)great prostitute who ^(C6)sits on many waters,

with whom ^(C1)the kings of the earth committed acts of sexual immorality, and ^(C2)those who live on the earth ^(C3)became drunk with the wine of her sexual immorality."

And ^(C1)he carried me away ^(F1)(C2)in the Spirit ^(C3)into a wilderness; and I saw a woman sitting on a ^(C4)scarlet beast, full of ^(C5)blasphemous names, having ^(C6)seven heads and ten horns.

The woman ^(C1)was clothed in purple and scarlet, and ^(F1)adorned with gold, precious ^(F2)stones, and pearls, holding in her hand ^(C2)a gold cup full of abominations and of the unclean things of her sexual immorality,

and on her forehead a name was written, ^(F1)a ^(C1)mystery: "^(C2)BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES AND OF ^(C3)THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH."

And I saw the woman drunk with ^(C1)the blood of the ^(F1)saints, and with the blood of the witnesses of Jesus. When I saw her, I wondered ^(F2)greatly.
