Revelation 17:4-6

New International Reader's Version

⁴ The woman was dressed in purple and bright red. She was gleaming with gold, jewels and pearls. In her hand she held a golden cup filled with things that God hates. It was filled with her terrible, dirty sins. ⁵ The name written on her forehead was a mystery. Here is what it said.

The Great City of Babylon

The Mother of Prostitutes

The Mother of Everything on Earth that God Hates

⁶ I saw that the woman was drunk with the blood of God’s holy people. They are the ones who are witnesses about Jesus.

When I saw her, I was very amazed.
