17:15 天使又對我說：「你所看見那淫婦坐的眾水，就是多民、多人、多國、多方。
17:16 你所看見的那十角與獸必恨這淫婦，使她冷落赤身，又要吃她的肉，用火將她燒盡。
17:17 因為上帝使諸王同心合意，遵行他的旨意，把自己的國給那獸，直等到上帝的話都應驗了。
17:18 你所看見的那女人就是管轄地上眾王的大城。」
And the angel said to me, "The waters
that you saw, where the prostitute is seated, are peoples and multitudes and
nations and languages. And the ten horns that you saw, they and the beast will
hate the prostitute. They will make her desolate and naked, and devour her
flesh and burn her up with fire, for God has put it into their hearts to carry
out his purpose by being of one mind and handing over their royal power to the
beast, until the words of God are fulfilled. And the woman that you saw is the
great city that has dominion over the kings of the earth."

這個淫婦囂張的時候正如經文說：「那女人穿著紫色和朱紅色的衣服，用金子、寶石、珍珠為妝飾；手拿金杯，杯中盛滿了可憎之物，就是她淫亂的污穢。…我又看見那女人喝醉了聖徒的血和為耶穌作見證之人的血。」
然而她的下場是：「你所看見的那十角與獸必恨這淫婦，使她冷落赤身，又要吃她的肉，用火將她燒盡。因為上帝使諸王同心合意，遵行他的旨意，把自己的國給那獸，直等到上帝的話都應驗了。」
可見惡勢力也在上帝的掌管之下，終有一天也必走向滅亡，受到上帝永遠的審判！
