⁷ And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.

⁸ The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.

⁹ And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.

¹⁰ And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.

¹¹ And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.

¹² And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.

¹³ These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.

⁷ And ^G2532 the angel ^G32 said ^G2036 unto me, ^G3427 Wherefore ^G1302 didst thou marvel? ^G2296 I ^G1473 will tell ^G2046 thee ^G4671 the mystery ^G3466 of the woman, ^G1135 and ^G2532 of the beast ^G2342 that carrieth ^G941 her, ^G846 which ^G3588 hath ^G2192 the seven ^G2033 heads ^G2776 and ^G2532 ten ^G1176 horns. ^G2768

⁸ The beast ^G2342 that ^G3739 thou sawest ^G1492 was, ^G2258 and ^G2532 is ^G2076 not; ^G3756 and ^G2532 shall ^G3195 ascend ^G305 out of ^G1537 the bottomless pit, ^G12 and ^G2532 go ^G5217 into ^G1519 perdition: ^G684 and ^G2532 they that dwell ^G2730 on ^G1909 the earth ^G1093 shall wonder, ^G2296 whose ^G3739 names ^G3686 were ^G1125 not ^G3756 written ^G1125 in ^G1909 the book ^G975 of life ^G2222 from ^G575 the foundation ^G2602 of the world, ^G2889 when they behold ^G991 the beast ^G2342 that was, ^{G3748 G2258} and ^G2532 is ^G2076 not, ^G3756 and yet ^G2539 is. ^G2076

⁹ And here ^G5602 is the mind ^G3563 which ^G3588 hath ^G2192 wisdom. ^G4678 The seven ^G2033 heads ^G2776 are ^G1526 seven ^G2033 mountains, ^G3735 on ^G1909 which ^G846 the woman ^G1135 sitteth. ^{G2521 G3699}

¹⁰ And ^G2532 there are ^G1526 seven ^G2033 kings: ^G935 five ^G4002 are fallen, ^G4098 and ^G2532 one ^G1520 is, ^G2076 and the other ^G243 is ^G2064 not yet ^G3768 come; ^G2064 and ^G2532 when ^G3752 he cometh, ^G2064 he ^G846 must ^G1163 continue ^G3306 a short space. ^G3641

¹¹ And ^G2532 the beast ^G2342 that ^G3739 was, ^G2258 and ^G2532 is ^G2076 not, ^G3756 even ^G2532 he ^G846 is ^G2076 the eighth, ^G3590 and ^G2532 is ^G2076 of ^G1537 the seven, ^G2033 and ^G2532 goeth ^G5217 into ^G1519 perdition. ^G684

¹² And ^G2532 the ten ^G1176 horns ^G2768 which ^G3739 thou sawest ^G1492 are ^G1526 ten ^G1176 kings, ^G935 which ^G3748 have received ^G2983 no ^G3768 kingdom ^G932 as yet; ^G3768 but ^G235 receive ^G2983 power ^G1849 as ^G5613 kings ^G935 one ^G3391 hour ^G5610 with ^G3326 the beast. ^G2342

¹³ These ^G3778 have ^G2192 one ^G3391 mind, ^G1106 and ^G2532 shall give ^G1239 their ^G1438 power ^G1411 and ^G2532 strength ^G1849 unto the beast. ^G2342

⁷ And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou wonder? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and the ten horns.

⁸ The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and is about to come up out of the abyss, and to go into perdition. And they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, `they' whose name hath not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast, how that he was, and is not, and shall come.

⁹ Here is the mind that hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth:

¹⁰ and they are seven kings; the five are fallen, the one is, the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a little while.

¹¹ And the beast that was, and is not, is himself also an eighth, and is of the seven; and he goeth into perdition.

¹² And the ten horns that thou sawest are ten kings, who have received no kingdom as yet; but they receive authority as kings, with the beast, for one hour.

¹³ These have one mind, and they give their power and authority unto the beast.

⁷ and the messenger said to me, `Wherefore didst thou wonder? I -- I will tell thee the secret of the woman and of the beast that `is' carrying her, which hath the seven heads and the ten horns.

⁸ `The beast that thou didst see: it was, and it is not; and it is about to come up out of the abyss, and to go away to destruction, and wonder shall those dwelling upon the earth, whose names have not been written upon the scroll of the life from the foundation of the world, beholding the beast that was, and is not, although it is.

⁹ `Here `is' the mind that is having wisdom; the seven heads are seven mountains, upon which the woman doth sit,

¹⁰ and there are seven kings, the five did fall, and the one is, the other did not yet come, and when he may come, it behoveth him to remain a little time;

¹¹ and the beast that was, and is not, he also is eighth, and out of the seven he is, and to destruction he doth go away.

¹² `And the ten horns that thou sawest, are ten kings, who a kingdom did not yet receive, but authority as kings the same hour do receive with the beast,

¹³ these have one mind, and their own power and authority to the beast they shall give over;

⁷ And the angel said to me, Why hast thou wondered? *I* will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast which carries her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns.

⁸ The beast which thou sawest was, and is not, and is about to come up out of the abyss and go into destruction: and they who dwell on the earth, whose names are not written from the founding of the world in the book of life, shall wonder, seeing the beast, that it was, and is not, and shall be present.

⁹ Here is the mind that has wisdom: The seven heads are seven mountains, whereon the woman sits.

¹⁰ And there are seven kings: five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come; and when he comes he must remain [only] a little while.

¹¹ And the beast that was and is not, he also is an eighth, and is of the seven, and goes into destruction.

¹² And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have not yet received a kingdom, but receive authority as kings one hour with the beast.

¹³ These have one mind, and give their power and authority to the beast.

⁷ The angel said to me, "Why do you wonder? I will tell you the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns.

⁸ The beast that you saw was, and is not; and is about to come up out of the abyss and to go into destruction. Those who dwell on the earth and whose names have not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world will marvel when they see that the beast was, and is not, and shall be present.{TR reads "yet is" instead of "shall be present"}

⁹ Here is the mind that has wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sits.

¹⁰ They are seven kings. Five have fallen, the one is, the other has not yet come. When he comes, he must continue a little while.

¹¹ The beast that was, and is not, is himself also an eighth, and is of the seven; and he goes to destruction.

⁸ The beast which you saw was, and is not; and is about to come up out of the great deep, and to go into destruction. And those who are on the earth, whose names have not been put in the book of life from the first, will be full of wonder when they see the beast, that he was, and is not, and still will be.

⁹ Here is the mind which has wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman is seated:

¹⁰ And they are seven kings; the five have come to an end, the one is, the other has not come; and when he comes, he will have to go on for a little time.

¹¹ And the beast which was, and is not, is himself the eighth, and is of the seven; and he goes into destruction.
