Revelation 17:5-7

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁵ And on her forehead a name was written: A mystery; Babylon the great, the mother of the fornications, and the abominations of the earth.

⁶ And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And I wondered, when I had seen her, with great admiration.

⁷ And the angel said to me: Why dost thou wonder? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast which carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.
