Revelation 12
Darby Bible
1And a greatG3173 signG4592 was seenG3708 in the heavenG3772: a womanG1135 clothed with the sunG2246, and the moonG4582 under her feetG4228, and upon her headG2776 a crownG4735 of twelveG1427 starsG792; 2and being with child she criedG2896, [being] in travail, and in pain to bring forthG5088. 3And another signG4592 was seenG3708 in the heavenG3772: and beholdG2400, a greatG3173 redG4450 dragonG1404, having sevenG2033 headsG2776 and tenG1176 hornsG2768, and on his headsG2776 sevenG2033 diadems; 4and his tailG3769 draws the thirdG5154 part of the starsG792 of the heavenG3772; and he castG906 them to the earthG1093. And the dragonG1404 stoodG2476 before the womanG1135 who was about to bringG906 forthG5088, in orderG2443 that whenG3752 she brought forthG5088 he might devourG2719 her childG5043. 5And she brought forthG5088 a maleG730 sonG5207, who shall shepherdG4165 all the nationsG1484 with an ironG4603 rodG4464; and her childG5043 was caught up to 1GodG2316 and to his throneG2362. 6And the womanG1135 fledG5343 into the wildernessG2048, whereG3699 she has there a placeG5117 preparedG2090 of 2GodG2316, that they should nourish her there a thousandG5507 twoG1250 hundredG1250 [and] sixtyG1835 daysG2250. 7And there was warG4171 in the heavenG3772: MichaelG3413 and his angelsG32 went to warG4171 with the dragonG1404. And the dragonG1404 fought, and his angelsG32; 8and he prevailed not, nor was their placeG5117 foundG2147 any moreG2089 in the heavenG3772. 9And the greatG3173 dragonG1404 was castG906 out, the ancientG744 serpentG3789, he who is calledG2564 DevilG1228 and SatanG4567, he who deceivesG4105 the wholeG3650 habitable worldG3625, he was castG906 out into the earthG1093, and his angelsG32 were castG906 out with him. 10And I heardG191 a greatG3173 voiceG5456 in the heavenG3772 sayingG3004, Now is comeG1096 the salvationG4991 and the powerG1411 and the kingdomG932 of our 3GodG2316, and the authorityG1849 of his ChristG5547; for the accuser of our brethren has been castG906 out, who accusedG2723 them before our 4GodG2316 dayG2250 and nightG3571: 11and they have overcomeG3528 him by reason of the bloodG129 of the LambG721, and by reason of the wordG3056 of their testimonyG3141, and have not lovedG25 their lifeG5590 evenG2532 unto deathG2288. 12Therefore be full of delight, ye heavensG3772, and ye that dwellG4637 in them. WoeG3759 to the earthG1093 and to the seaG2281, because the devilG1228 has comeG2597 down to you, having greatG3173 rageG2372, knowing he has a short timeG2540. 13And whenG3753 the dragonG1404 sawG3708 that he had been castG906 out into the earthG1093, he persecutedG1377 the womanG1135 which bore the maleG730 [child]. 14And there were givenG1325 to the womanG1135 the twoG1417 wingsG4420 of the greatG3173 eagleG105, that she might flyG4072 into the desert into her placeG5117, whereG3699 she is nourishedG5142 there a timeG2540, and timesG2540, and halfG2255 a timeG2540, from [the] faceG4383 of the serpentG3789. 15And the serpentG3789 castG906 out of his mouthG4750 behind the womanG1135 waterG5204 as a riverG4215, that he might makeG4160 her be [as] one carried away by a riverG4215. 16And the earthG1093 helpedG997 the womanG1135, and the earthG1093 openedG455 its mouthG4750 and swallowedG2666 the riverG4215 which the dragonG1404 castG906 out of his mouthG4750. 17And the dragonG1404 was angryG3710 with the womanG1135, and wentG565 to makeG4160 warG4171 with the remnant of her seedG4690, who keepG5083 the commandmentsG1785 of 5GodG2316, and have the testimonyG3141 of JesusG2424.
