Revelation 17:13-18

Common English Bible

¹³ These kings will be of one mind, and they will give their power and authority to the beast. ¹⁴ They will make war on the Lamb, but the Lamb will emerge victorious, for he is Lord of lords and King of kings. Those with him are called, chosen, and faithful.”

¹⁵ Then he said to me, “The waters that you saw, where the prostitute is seated, are peoples, crowds, nations, and languages. ¹⁶ As for the ten horns that you saw, they and the beast will hate the prostitute. They will destroy her and strip her bare. They will devour her flesh and burn her with fire ¹⁷ because God moved them to carry out his purposes. That is why they will be of one mind and give their royal power to the beast, until God’s words have been accomplished. ¹⁸ The woman whom you saw is the great city that rules over the kings of the earth.”
