<h3>The Great Prostitute and the Beast</h3>17 Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the judgment of the great prostitute who is seated on many waters, 2 with whom the kings of the earth have committed sexual immorality, and with the wine of whose sexual immorality the dwellers on earth have become drunk.” 3 And he carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness, and I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was full of blasphemous names, and it had seven heads and ten horns. 4 The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and jewels and pearls, holding in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of her sexual immorality. 5 And on her forehead was written a name of mystery: “Babylon the great, mother of prostitutes and of earth's abominations.” 6 And I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints, the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. When I saw her, I marveled greatly. 7 But the angel said to me, “Why do you marvel? I will tell you the mystery of the woman, and of the beast with seven heads and ten horns that carries her. 8 The beast that you saw was, and is not, and is about to rise from the bottomless pit and go to destruction. And the dwellers on earth whose names have not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world will marvel to see the beast, because it was and is not and is to come. 9 This calls for a mind with wisdom: the seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman is seated; 10 they are also seven kings, five of whom have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come, and when he does come he must remain only a little while. 11 As for the beast that was and is not, it is an eighth but it belongs to the seven, and it goes to destruction. 12 And the ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have not yet received royal power, but they are to receive authority as kings for one hour, together with the beast. 13 These are of one mind, and they hand over their power and authority to the beast. 14 They will make war on the Lamb, and the Lamb will conquer them, for he is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those with him are called and chosen and faithful.” 15 And the angel said to me, “The waters that you saw, where the prostitute is seated, are peoples and multitudes and nations and languages. 16 And the ten horns that you saw, they and the beast will hate the prostitute. They will make her desolate and naked, and devour her flesh and burn her up with fire, 17 for God has put it into their hearts to carry out his purpose by being of one mind and handing over their royal power to the beast, until the words of God are fulfilled. 18 And the woman that you saw is the great city that has dominion over the kings of the earth.”

 1 Then  one of the seven angels who had  the seven bowls came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the judgment of  the great prostitute  who is seated on many waters, 2  with whom the kings of the earth have committed sexual immorality, and  with the wine of whose sexual immorality  the dwellers on earth have become drunk.” 3 And  he carried me away in the Spirit  into a wilderness, and I saw a woman sitting on  a scarlet beast that was full of  blasphemous names, and  it had seven heads and ten horns. 4 The woman  was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned  with gold and jewels and pearls, holding in her hand  a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of her sexual immorality. 5 And on her forehead was written a name of  mystery:  “Babylon the great, mother of prostitutes and of earth's abominations.” 6 And I saw the woman, drunk  with the blood of the saints, the blood of  the martyrs of Jesus.  When I saw her, I marveled greatly. 7 But the angel said to me, “Why do you marvel? I will tell you  the mystery of the woman, and of the beast with seven heads and ten horns that carries her. 8 The beast that you saw  was, and is not, and  is about to rise from  the bottomless pit  and  go to destruction. And  the dwellers on earth whose names have not been written in  the book of life from the foundation of the world will marvel to see the beast, because  it was and is not and is to come. 9  This calls for a mind with wisdom: the seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman is seated; 10 they are also seven kings, five of whom have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come, and when he does come he must remain only a little while. 11 As for the beast  that was and is not, it is an eighth but it belongs to the seven, and it goes to destruction. 12 And  the ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have not yet received royal power, but they are to receive authority as kings  for one hour, together with the beast. 13 These are of one mind, and they hand over their power and authority to the beast. 14 They  will make war on the Lamb, and  the Lamb will conquer them, for he is  Lord of lords and  King of kings, and those with him are  called and chosen and faithful.” 15 And the angel  said to me,  “The waters that you saw, where the prostitute is seated, are peoples and multitudes and nations and languages. 16 And  the ten horns that you saw, they and the beast  will hate the prostitute.

From Wikipedia: 

The English Standard Version (ESV) is an English translation of the Bible. The ESV was published in 2001 by Crossway, having been "created by a team of more than 100 leading evangelical scholars and pastors." The ESV relies on recently published critical editions of the original Hebrew and Greek texts. Crossway claim that the ESV continues a legacy begun by the Tyndale New Testament of precision and faithfulness in English translation of the original text, followed in the same standard by "the King James Version of 1611 (KJV), the English Revised Version of 1885 (RV), the American Standard Version of 1901 (ASV), and the Revised Standard Version of 1952 and 1971." Crossway describes the ESV as a translation that "emphasizes 'word-for-word' accuracy, literary excellence, and depth of meaning." Crossway also describes the ESV as a translation that adheres to an "essentially literal" translation philosophy, taking into account "differences in grammar, syntax, and idiom between current literary English and the original languages."

The ESV is derived from the 1971 text edition of the Revised Standard Version (RSV). ESV Translation Oversight Committee member Wayne Grudem claims that approximately eight percent (or about 60,000 words) of the 1971 RSV text being used for the ESV was revised as of first publication in 2001. Grudem states that the committee removed "every trace of liberal influence that had caused such criticism from evangelicals when the RSV was first published in 1952." Although, Grudem also states that much of the 1971 RSV text left unchanged by the committee "is simply 'the best of the best' of the KJV tradition."

With regard to gender language, the ESV Translation Oversight Committee state that "the goal of the ESV is to render literally what is in the original."[9] The committee expands on this position in claiming that, although the ESV avoids using gender-neutral language (for the purpose of preserving contextual meaning found in the original text), the translation does utilize gender-neutral language in specific cases. The committee further state that their objective was "transparency to the original text, allowing the reader to understand the original on its own terms rather than in the terms of our present-day Western culture."[9] The ESV Study Bible often details in its commentary why a complementarian interpretation of the original text may have been rendered in translation.
