3 And he led me into the desert, in the spirit; and I saw a woman sitting on a beast of prey which was red,[Sumoqo.] full of names of blasphemy, (and) having seven heads and ten horns.
4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet,[Zachurith.] and golden with gold [Madhabo b'dhabo.] and precious stones and pearls; having a cup of gold in her hand, full of pollutions and uncleanness of her fornications [by which she hath polluted] the earth.
5 And upon her forehead the name was written, Mystery: Babel the Great, the Mother of Harlots and of 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 Jeshu; and I wondered, when I saw, with great wonder.
7 And the angel said to me, Why wonderest thou? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast of prey which beareth her, which hath the seven heads and the ten horns.
8 The beast of prey which thou seest, was, and is not; and will ascend from the abyss, and go into perdition: and they who dwell on the earth will admire, they whose name is not written in the book of life from the foundations of the world, while they see the beast of prey, who was, and is not, and draweth nigh.
