Revelation 17:3-5

New International Reader's Version

³ Then in a vision the angel carried me away to a desert. There the Holy Spirit showed me a woman sitting on a bright red beast. It was covered with names that say evil things about God. It had seven heads and ten horns. ⁴ The woman was dressed in purple and bright red. She was gleaming with gold, jewels and pearls. In her hand she held a golden cup filled with things that God hates. It was filled with her terrible, dirty sins. ⁵ The name written on her forehead was a mystery. Here is what it said.

The Great City of Babylon

The Mother of Prostitutes

The Mother of Everything on Earth that God Hates
