Revelation 17:7-12 And the angel said to me, Why do you wonder? I will tell you the mystery of the woman, and of the wild beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns.

Lamsa⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ And the angel said to me, Why do you wonder? I will tell you the mystery of the woman, and of the wild beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns. ⁸ The wild beast that you saw was, and is not, and is ready to come up from the bottomless pit and go to be destroyed: and those who dwell on earth whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, shall wonder when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and now whose end has come. ⁹ Here is understanding for him who has wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sits. ¹⁰ And there are seven kings of whom five have fallen, and one is, and the other has not yet come; and when he comes he shall continue only for a short time. ¹¹ And the wild beast that was, and no longer is, even he is the eighth, and is one of the seven destined to be destroyed. ¹² And the ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet; but receive authority as kings for one hour with the beast.
