³ For honey is dropping from the lips of the strange woman, and her mouth is smoother than oil;

¹⁶ To take you out of the power of the strange woman, who says smooth words with her tongue;

²¹ The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart; his words were softer than oil, but they were sharp swords.

²⁴ They will keep you from the evil woman, from the smooth tongue of the strange woman.

⁵ So that they may keep you from the strange woman, even from her whose words are smooth.

²¹ With her fair words she overcame him, forcing him with her smooth lips.

² With whom the kings of the earth made themselves unclean, and those who are on the earth were full of the wine of her evil desires.

³ And he took me away in the Spirit into a waste land: and I saw a woman seated on a bright red beast, full of evil names, having seven heads and ten horns,

⁴ And the woman was clothed in purple and bright red, with ornaments of gold and stones of great price and jewels; and in her hand was a gold cup full of evil things and her unclean desires;

⁵ And on her brow was a name, SECRET, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF THE EVIL WOMEN AND OF THE UNCLEAN THINGS OF THE EARTH.

⁶ And I saw the woman overcome as with the wine of the blood of the saints, and the blood of those put to death because of Jesus. And when I saw her, I was overcome with a great wonder.
