Revelation 17:4-6

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁴ And the woman was clothed round about with purple and scarlet, and gilt with gold, and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand, full of the abomination and filthiness of her fornication.

⁵ And on her forehead a name was written: A mystery; Babylon the great, the mother of the fornications, and 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 Jesus. And I wondered, when I had seen her, with great admiration.
