الَّتِي زَنَى مَعَهَا مُلُوكُ الأَرْضِ، وَسَكِرَ سُكَّانُ الأَرْضِ مِنْ خَمْرِ زِنَاهَا».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.Revelation 17:2, Smith & Van Dyke (1865) / KJV
«فَاحْتَرِزُوا لأَنْفُسِكُمْ لِئَلاَّ تَثْقُلَ قُلُوبُكُمْ فِي خُمَارٍ وَسُكْرٍ وَهُمُومِ الْحَيَاةِ، فَيُصَادِفَكُمْ ذلِكَ الْيَوْمُ بَغْتَةً.And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.Luke 21:34, Smith & Van Dyke (1865) / KJV
