17:14 They will make war with the Lamb, but the Lamb will conquer them, because he is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those accompanying ¹  the Lamb are the called, chosen, and faithful.”

17:15 Then ²  the angel ³  said to me, “The waters you saw (where the prostitute is seated) are peoples, multitudes, ⁴  nations, and languages. 17:16 The ⁵  ten horns that you saw, and the beast – these will hate the prostitute and make her desolate and naked. They ⁶  will consume her flesh and burn her up with fire. ⁷

² tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence within the narrative.

³ tn Grk “he”; the referent (the angel) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁴ tn Grk “and multitudes,” but καί (kai) has not been translated here and before the following term since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.

⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

⁶ tn A new sentence was started here in the translation. Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

⁷ tn The final clause could also be turned into an adverbial clause of means: “They will consume her flesh by burning her with fire.”
