Revelation 17:3-5
Holman Christian Standard Bible
3 So he carried me away in the Spirit[a](A) to a desert. I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was covered[b] with blasphemous names and had seven heads and 10 horns.(B) 4 The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, adorned with gold, precious stones, and pearls. She had a gold cup in her hand filled with everything vile(C) and with the impurities of her[c] prostitution. 5 On her forehead a cryptic name(D) was written:
BABYLON THE GREAT
THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES
AND OF THE VILE THINGS OF THE EARTH.
