ABP - Revelation of John - 17

17:1  And came one of the seven angels of the ones having the seven bowls, and he spoke with me, saying, Come, I will show to you the judgment of the [2harlot 1great], the one sitting upon the [2waters 1many],

17:2  with whom [5committed harlotry 1the 2kings 3of the 4earth], and [5were intoxicated 1the ones 2dwelling on 3the 4earth] of the wine of her harlotry.

17:3  And he carried me away into the wilderness in spirit. And I saw a woman sitting upon [2beast 1a scarlet], being full of names of blasphemy, having [2heads 1seven] and [2horns 1ten].

17:4  And the woman was wearing purple and scarlet, gilded with gold, and [2stone 1precious] and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and the uncleanlinesses of her harlotry.

17:5  And upon her forehead a name being written, Mystery, Babylon the great, the mother of the harlots and of the abominations of the earth.

17:6  And I saw the woman being intoxicated of the blood of the holy ones, and of the blood of the witnesses of Jesus. And I marveled, having seen her, [2wonder 1with great].

17:7  And [3said 4to me 1the 2angel], Why did you marvel? I will tell to you the mystery of the woman, and of the beast, of the one bearing her, of the one having the seven heads and the ten horns;

17:8  even the beast which you saw was, and is not, and is about to ascend from out of the abyss, and [2into 3destruction 1to go away]. And [6shall marvel 1the ones 2dwelling 3upon 4the 5earth], whose [2are not 3written 1names] upon the scroll of the life from the founding of the world, seeing the beast that was, and is not, and shall be at hand.

17:9  Here is the mind of the one having wisdom. The seven heads [2seven 3mountains 1are] where the woman sits upon them.

17:10  And [3kings 2seven 1there are] -- the five fallen, the one is, the other not yet is come; and whenever he should come, [4a little 1he 2must 3remain].

17:11  And the beast which was, and is not, even he is eighth, and [2from out of 3the 4seven 1he is], and [2unto 3destruction 1he goes].

17:12  And the ten horns which you saw [2ten 3kings 1are], ones which [3a kingdom 1not yet 2received], but [2authority 3as 4kings 5one 6hour 1receive] with the beast.

17:13  These [2one 3opinion 1have], and [2the 3power 4and 5their authority 6to the 7beast 1they give].

17:14  These [2against 3the 4lamb 1shall wage war], and the lamb will overcome them, for [2Lord 3of lords 1he is] and king of kings; and the ones with him are called, and chosen, and trustworthy.

17:15  And he says to me, The waters which you saw, where the harlot sits, [2peoples 3and 4multitudes 1are], and nations, and languages.

17:16  And the ten horns which you saw upon the beast, these shall detest the harlot, and [3being made desolate 1they shall cause 2her], and [3naked 1shall make 2her], and [2her flesh 1shall devour], and shall incinerate her by fire.

17:17  For God gave to their hearts to do his design, and to do [2design 1one], and to give their kingdom to the beast, until [4shall be fulfilled 1the 2words 3of God].

17:18  And the woman whom you saw is the [2city 1great], the one having kingship over the kings of the earth.
