Revelation 13:2-10

2And the beastG2342 that I sawG3708 was 1likeG3664 a leopardG3917, and his feetG4228 were likeG3664 those of 2a bearG715, and his mouthG4750 likeG5613 the mouthG4750 of 3a lionG3023. And the 4dragonG1404 gaveG1325 him his powerG1411 and his 5throneG2362, and greatG3173 authorityG1849. 3I saw oneG1520 of his headsG2776 as ifG5613 it had beenG4969 6fatallyG2288 woundedG4969, and his 7fatalG2288 woundG4127 was healedG2323. And the wholeG3650 earthG1093 8wasG2296 amazedG2296 and followed afterG3694 the beastG2342; 4they worshipedG4352 the 9dragonG1404 becauseG3754 he 10gaveG1325 his authorityG1849 to the beastG2342; and they worshipedG4352 the beastG2342, sayingG3004, “11WhoG5101 is likeG3664 the beastG2342, and whoG5101 is ableG1410 to wageG4170 warG4170 with him?” 5A mouthG4750 was givenG1325 to him 12speakingG2980 13arrogantG3173 words and blasphemiesG988, and authorityG1849 to actG4160 for 14forty-twoG5065 G1417 monthsG3376 was givenG1325 to him. 6And he openedG455 his mouthG4750 in blasphemiesG988 againstG4314 GodG2316, to blasphemeG987 His nameG3686 and His tabernacleG4633, that is, 15thoseG3588 who dwellG4637 in heavenG3772.

7It was alsoG2532 givenG1325 to him to 16makeG4160 warG4171 with the 17saintsG40 and to overcomeG3528 them, and authorityG1849 was givenG1325 to him overG1909 18everyG3956 tribeG5443, peopleG2992, languageG1100, and nationG1484. 8AllG3956 who 19liveG2730 on the earthG1093 will worshipG4352 him, everyone 20whoseG3739 nameG3686 has not been 21writtenG1125 22sinceG575 the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889 in the 23bookG975 of lifeG2222 of 24the LambG721 who has been slaughteredG4969. 9 25IfG1487 anyoneG5100 hasG2192 an earG3775, let him hearG191. 10 26IfG1487 anyoneG5100 27is destined for captivityG161, to captivityG161 he goesG5217; 28ifG1487 anyoneG5100 killsG615 with the swordG3162, with the swordG3162 he mustG1163 be killedG615. HereG5602 is 29the 30perseveranceG5281 and the faithG4102 of the 31saintsG40.
