13 These ten all have the same purpose, and they give their power and authority to the beast.
14 They will fight against the Lamb; but the Lamb, together with his called, chosen, and faithful followers, will defeat them, because he is Lord of lords and King of kings.”
15 The angel also said to me, “The waters you saw, on which the prostitute is sitting, are nations, peoples, races, and languages.
16 The ten horns you saw, and the beast, will hate the prostitute; they will take away everything she has and leave her naked; they will eat her flesh and destroy her with fire.
17 For God has placed in their hearts the will to carry out his purpose by acting together and giving the beast their power to rule until God's words come true.
18 “The woman you saw is the great city that rules over the kings of the earth.”
