New American Standard Bible 1995

Revelation 13:3-8

3I saw one of his heads as if it had been 1slain, and his 2fatal wound was healed. And the whole earth 3was amazed and followed after the beast; 4they worshiped the 4dragon because he 5gave his authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, “6Who is like the beast, and who is able to wage war with him?” 5There was given to him a mouth 7speaking 8arrogant words and blasphemies, and authority to act for 9forty-two months was given to him. 6And he opened his mouth in blasphemies against God, to blaspheme His name and His tabernacle, that is, 10those who 11dwell in heaven.

7It was also given to him to 12make war with the 13saints and to overcome them, and authority over 14every tribe and people and tongue and nation was given to him. 8All who 15dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone 16whose name has not been 17written 18from the foundation of the world in the 19book of life of 20the Lamb who has been slain.
