The beast and the ten horns you saw will hate the prostitute. They’ll destroy her and take away her expensive clothes; they’ll devour her flesh and burn her with fire.
They’ll throw dust on their heads and weep and mourn and cry out, “ ‘Woe! Woe to you, great city! All who had ships on the sea became rich because of her wealth! In just one hour she has been destroyed!’
“The ten horns you saw are ten kings. They haven’t yet begun to rule, but for a short time they will receive authority to rule together with the beast.
