Revelation 17:7-12 But the angel said to me, "Why did you marvel? I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the Beast carrying her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns.

CAB⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ But the angel said to me, "Why did you marvel? I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the Beast carrying her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns. ⁸ The Beast which you saw was, and is not, and is about to ascend out of the bottomless pit and go to perdition. And those who dwell on the earth shall marvel, whose name is not written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world, when they see the Beast that was, and is not, and shall be present. ⁹ Here is the mind which has wisdom: The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits. ¹⁰ And there are seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, and the other has not yet come. And whenever he comes, he must abide for a short time. ¹¹ And the Beast which was, and is not, is also an eighth, and is of the seven, and is going to perdition. ¹² And the ten horns which you saw are ten kings who not yet have received a kingdom, but they receive authority as kings for one hour with the Beast.
