17:15 Then 1 the angel 2 said to me, “The waters you saw (where the prostitute is seated) are peoples, multitudes, 3 nations, and languages. 17:16 The 4 ten horns that you saw, and the beast – these will hate the prostitute and make her desolate and naked. They 5 will consume her flesh and burn her up with fire. 6 17:17 For God has put into their minds 7 to carry out his purpose 8 by making 9 a decision 10 to give their royal power 11 to the beast until the words of God are fulfilled. 12
