Revelation 17:9-18

New King James Version

^9 (A)“Here is the mind which has wisdom: ^(B)The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits. ¹⁰ There are also seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, and the other has not yet come. And when he comes, he must ^(C)continue a short time. ¹¹ The ^(D)beast that was, and is not, is himself also the eighth, and is of the seven, and is going to ^[a]perdition.

^12 (E)“The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority for one hour as kings with the beast. ¹³ These are of one mind, and they will give their power and authority to the beast. ^14 (F)These will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will ^(G)overcome them, ^(H)for He is Lord of lords and King of kings; ^(I)and those who are with Him are called, chosen, and faithful.”

¹⁵ Then he said to me, ^(J)“The waters which you saw, where the harlot sits, ^(K)are peoples, multitudes, nations, and tongues. ¹⁶ And the ten horns which you ^[b]saw on the beast, ^(L)these will hate the harlot, make her ^(M)desolate ^(N)and naked, eat her flesh and ^(O)burn her with fire. ^17 (P)For God has put it into their hearts to fulfill His purpose, to be of one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast, ^(Q)until the words of God are fulfilled. ¹⁸ And the woman whom you saw ^(R)is that great city ^(S)which reigns over the kings of the earth.”
