The Judgment of the Harlot, Babylon

17 Then one of the seven angels with the seven bowls approached me and said, “Come, and I will show you the judgment of the great prostitute who sits enthroned on many waters. 2 The kings of the earth have fornicated with her, and the people of earth are drunk on the wine of her prostitution.”[a]

3 Then the angel carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness, and I saw a woman sitting on a wild, bloodred beast with seven heads and ten horns, and it was covered with blasphemous names. 4 The woman was robed in purple and scarlet and was glittering with gold, precious stones, and pearls. She was holding in her hand a golden chalice brimming full with defiling obscenities and the filth of her lewdness.[b] 5 On her forehead was written these mysterious titles: “The great Babylon, mother of prostitutes and of the abominations of the earth.”

6 I saw the woman was drunk with the blood of God’s holy believers—drunk on the blood of the loyal martyrs of Jesus. And when I saw her, I was utterly astonished!
