By Jacobello Alberegno, ca. 1390. Part of the Polyptych of the Apocalypse Revelations 17:1–5 1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: 2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. 3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. 4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: 5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. Openbaring 17:1–5 1 En een uit de zeven engelen, die de zeven fiolen hadden, kwam en sprak met mij, en zeide tot mij: Kom herwaarts, ik zal u tonen het oordeel der grote hoer, die daar zit op vele wateren; 2 Met welke de koningen der aarde gehoereerd hebben, en die de aarde bewonen zijn dronken geworden van den wijn harer hoererij. 3 En hij bracht mij weg in een woestijn, in den geest, en ik zag een vrouw, zittende op een scharlaken rood beest, dat vol was van namen der gods lastering, en had zeven hoofden en tien hoornen. 4 En de vrouw was bekleed met purper en scharlaken, en versierd met goud, en kostelijk gesteente, en paarlen, en had in hare hand een gouden drinkbeker, vol van gruwelen, en van onreinigheid harer hoererij. 5 En op haar voorhoofd was een naam geschreven, namelijk Verborgenheid; het grote Babylon, de moeder der hoererijen en der gruwelen der aarde.
