And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 16 is found in chapter 17 of Revelation. The waters on which the prostitute sits are interpreted as peoples, multitudes, nations, and languages. The ten horns and the beast, which previously supported the woman, ultimately hate her, leave her desolate, and burn her. The reversal is deliberate: the coalition of evil contains self-destructive forces within itself. The angel concludes by identifying the woman with the great city that reigns over the kings of the earth.

Und die zehn Hörner, die du gesehen hast, und das Tier, die werden die Hure hassen und werden sie einsam machen und bloß und werden ihr Fleisch essen und werden sie mit Feuer verbrennen.
Y los diez cuernos que viste en la bestia, éstos aborrecerán a la ramera, y la harán desolada y desnuda: y comerán sus carnes, y la quemarán con fuego:
Los diez cuernos que viste y la bestia odiarán a la prostituta. La dejarán desolada y desnuda, comerán sus carnes y la quemarán por completo con fuego.
Les dix cornes que tu as vues et la bête haïront la prostituée, la dépouilleront et la mettront à nu, mangeront ses chairs, et la consumeront par le feu.
E le dieci corna, che tu hai vedute nella bestia, son quelli che odieranno la meretrice, e la renderanno deserta, e nuda; e mangeranno le sue carni, e bruceranno lei col fuoco.
E os dez chifres que viste na besta são os que odiarão a prostituta, e a colocarão desolada e nua, e comerão a sua carne, e a queimarão no fogo.
你所看見的那十個角與獸必恨這淫婦,他們要使她孤獨赤身,又要吃她的肉,用火將她燒盡。
