In context
2with whom the kings of the earth committed sexual immorality, and those who dwell on the earth were made drunk with the wine of her immorality.” 3Then he carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness, and I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast, covered with blasphemous names, having seven heads and ten horns. 4The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, adorned with gold, precious stones, and pearls. She held in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of her sexual immorality, 5and on her forehead was written a name, a mystery: “Babylon the Great, Mother of Prostitutes and of the Abominations of the Earth.” 6And I saw that the woman was drunk with the blood of the saints and the blood of the witnesses of Jesus. When I saw her, I was utterly astounded.
