Revelation 17:14-16
New English Translation
14 They will make war with the Lamb, but the Lamb will conquer them, because he is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those accompanying[a] the Lamb are the called, chosen, and faithful.”
15 Then[b] the angel[c] said to me, “The waters you saw (where the prostitute is seated) are peoples, multitudes,[d] nations, and languages. 16 The[e] ten horns that you saw, and the beast—these will hate the prostitute and make her desolate and naked. They[f] will consume her flesh and burn her up with fire.[g]
