Contemporary English Version
The Prostitute and the Beast
17 (A) One of the seven angels who had emptied the bowls came over and said to me, “Come on! I will show you how God will punish that shameless prostitute who sits on many oceans. 2 (B) Every king on earth has slept with her, and her shameless ways are like wine that has made everyone on earth drunk.”
3 (C) With the help of the Spirit, the angel took me into a desert, where I saw a woman sitting on a red beast. The beast was covered with names that were an insult to God, and it had seven heads and ten horns.
