Revelation 17:5 in Context — Revelation 17

3 E ele me levou em espírito a um deserto, e eu vi uma mulher assentada sobre uma besta de cor de escarlate, que estava cheio de nomes de blasfêmia. E ele tinha sete cabeças e dez chifres.

4 E a mulher estava vestida de púrpura e de escarlate, e adorada com ouro, pedras preciosas, e pérolas; e em sua mão tinha um cálice de ouro cheio das abominações e da impureza de sua prostituição.

5 E na testa dela estava escrito um nome: “Mistério: A grande Babilônia, a mãe das prostituições e abominações da terra”.

6 E vi que a mulher estava bêbada do sangue dos santos, e do sangue das testemunhas de Jesus. E eu, ao vê-la, fiquei maravilhado com grande espanto.
