Revelation 17:15 Revelation 17:15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. Now the angel proceeds to tell John the mystery of the woman which he saw, \ whom the angel called the great whore that sitteth upon many waters, \ as he promised him, \ which waters are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
