They[e] will consume her flesh and burn her up with fire.[f]

  3. Revelation 17:15 tn Grk “and multitudes,” but καί (kai) has not been translated here and before the following term since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.
  4. Revelation 17:16 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
  5. Revelation 17:16 tn A new sentence was started here in the translation. Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
