Revelation 17:16-18

Common English Bible

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.”
