I will show you the judgment on the great harlot. The kings of the earth have had intercourse with her, and the inhabitants of the earth became drunk on the wine of her harlotry. I saw a woman seated on a scarlet beast that was covered with blasphemous names, with seven heads and ten horns.

On her forehead was written a name, which is a mystery, “Babylon the great, the mother of harlots and of the abominations of the earth.”
