And the ten horns which you saw on the beast, these will
hate the harlot, make her desolate and naked, eat her flesh and burn her with
fire.

Will hate the harlot = is the first. Revelation 17:7 and 9
indicates that the harlot’s relationship to the beast is mutual. She wants to
be with the beast and the beast wants her. Therefore, Revelation 17:16 must be
taken in an ingressive sense. That is, the ten horns and the beast "will
begin to hate the harlot." Something will happen that will change the
relationship between the harlot, the beast, and his confederate nations. (RC)

Will make here desolate and naked = signals both depopulation and
shame. (RC)
