Revelation 17:16-18

New Catholic Bible

¹⁶ The ten horns that you saw and the beast will hate the harlot. They will render her desolate and naked; after they devour her flesh, they will burn her up with fire.

¹⁷ “For God has influenced their hearts to carry out his purpose by agreeing to confer their royal powers upon the beast until the words of God will be fulfilled. ¹⁸ The woman you saw is the great city that has authority over the kings of the earth.”
