Exegesis
A resultative sequence follows, introduced by coordinated elements with kai {καὶ | kaí}: the participle ērēmōmenēn {ἠρημωμένην | ē-rē-mō-mé-nēn} precedes the verb poiēsousin {ποιήσουσιν | poi-ḗ-sou-sin} in the idiom “make her desolate,” with autēn {αὐτὴν | au-tḕn} as the object; gumnēn {γυμνήν | gym-nḗn} is an additional predicate accusative, giving a second resultant state (“and naked”).
In context — Revelation 17:16
And the ten horns that you saw, and the beast—these will hate the prostitute, and they will make her desolate and naked, and they will eat her flesh, and they will burn her up with fire .
