1AndG2532 I stoodG2476 uponG1909 the sandG3588G285 of the seaG3588G2281, andG2532 sawG3708 a beastG2342 rise upG305 out ofG1537 the seaG3588G2281, havingG2192 sevenG2033 headsG2776 andG2532 tenG1176 hornsG2768, andG2532 uponG1909 hisG846 hornsG3588G2768 tenG1176 crownsG1238, andG2532 uponG1909 hisG846 headsG3588G2776 the nameG3686 of blasphemyG988. 2AndG2532 the beastG3588G2342 whichG3739 I sawG3708 wasG1510 like untoG3664 a leopardG3917, andG2532 hisG846 feetG3588G4228 were asG5613 the feet of a bearG715, andG2532 hisG846 mouthG3588G4750 asG5613 the mouthG4750 of a lionG3023: andG2532 the dragonG3588G1404 gaveG1325 himG846 hisG846 powerG3588G1411, andG2532 hisG846 seatG3588G2362, andG2532 greatG3173 authorityG1849. 3AndG2532 I sawG3708 oneG1520 of hisG846 headsG3588G2776 as it wereG5613 woundedG4969 toG1519 deathG2288; andG2532 hisG846 deadlyG3588G2288 woundG3588G4127 was healedG2323: andG2532 allG3650 the worldG3588G1093 wonderedG2296 afterG3694 the beastG3588G2342. 4AndG2532 they worshippedG4352 the dragonG3588G1404 whichG3739 gaveG1325 authorityG1849 unto the beastG3588G2342: andG2532 they worshippedG4352 the beastG3588G2342, sayingG3004, WhoG5101 is like untoG3664 the beastG3588G2342? whoG5101 is ableG1410 to make warG4170 withG3326 himG846? 5AndG2532 there was givenG1325 unto himG846 a mouthG4750 speakingG2980 great thingsG3173 andG2532 blasphemiesG988; andG2532 authorityG1849 was givenG1325 unto himG846 to continueG4160 fortyG5062 and twoG1417 monthsG3376. 6AndG2532 he openedG455 hisG846 mouthG3588G4750 inG1519 blasphemyG988 againstG4314 GodG3588G2316, to blasphemeG987 hisG846 nameG3588G3686, andG2532 hisG846 tabernacleG3588G4633, andG2532 themG3588 that dwellG4637 inG1722 heavenG3588G3772. 7AndG2532 it was givenG1325 unto himG846 to makeG4160 warG4171 withG3326 the saintsG40, andG2532 to overcomeG3528 themG846: andG2532 authorityG1849 was givenG1325 himG846 overG1909 allG3956 kindredsG5443, andG2532 tonguesG1100, andG2532 nationsG1484. 8AndG2532 allG3956 thatG3588 dwellG2730 uponG1909 the earthG3588G1093 shall worshipG4352 himG846, whoseG3739 namesG3588G3686 areG1125 notG3756 writtenG1125 inG1722 the bookG3588G976 of lifeG3588G2222 of the LambG3588G721 slainG4969 fromG575 the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889. 9IfG1487 any manG5100 haveG2192 an earG3775, let him hearG191. 10HeG5100 thatG1487 leadeth intoG4863 captivityG161 shall goG5217 intoG1519 captivityG161: heG5100 thatG1487 killethG615 withG1722 the swordG3162 mustG1163 beG846 killedG615 withG1722 the swordG3162. HereG5602 isG1510 the patienceG3588G5281 andG2532 the faithG3588G4102 of the saintsG40.
11AndG2532 I beheldG3708 anotherG243 beastG2342 coming upG305 out ofG1537 the earthG3588G1093; andG2532 he hadG2192 twoG1417 hornsG2768 likeG3664 a lambG721, andG2532 he spakeG2980 asG5613 a dragonG1404. 12AndG2532 he exercisethG4160 allG3956 the authorityG3588G1849 of theG3588G2342 firstG4413 beastG3588G2342 beforeG1799 himG846, andG2532 causethG4160 the earthG3588G1093 andG2532 themG3588 which dwellG2730 thereinG1722G846 toG2443 worshipG4352 theG3588G2342 firstG3588G4413 beastG3588G2342, whoseG3739 deadlyG3588G2288 woundG3588G4127 was healedG2323. 13AndG2532 he doethG4160 greatG3173 wondersG4592, soG2443 thatG2532 he makethG4160 fireG4442 come downG2597 fromG1537 heavenG3588G3772 onG1519 the earthG3588G1093 in the sightG1799 of menG3588G444, 14AndG2532 deceivethG4105 themG3588 that dwellG2730 onG1909 the earthG3588G1093 byG1223 the means of thoseG3588 miraclesG4592 whichG3739 heG846 had powerG1325 to doG4160 in the sight ofG1799 the beastG3588G2342; sayingG3004 to themG3588 that dwellG2730 onG1909 the earthG3588G1093, that they should makeG4160 an imageG1504 to the beastG3588G2342, whichG3739 hadG2192 the woundG3588G4127 by a swordG3588G3162, andG2532 did liveG2198. 15AndG2532 heG846 had powerG1325 to giveG1325 lifeG4151 unto the imageG3588G1504 of the beastG3588G2342, thatG2443 the imageG3588G1504 of the beastG3588G2342 shouldG2980 bothG2532 speakG2980, andG2532 causeG4160 thatG2443 as manyG3745 asG302 wouldG4352 notG3361 worshipG4352 the imageG3588G1504 of the beastG3588G2342 should be killedG615. 16AndG2532 he causethG4160 allG3956, bothG2532 smallG3588G3398 andG2532 greatG3588G3173, richG3588G4145 andG2532 poorG3588G4434, freeG3588G1658 andG2532 bondG3588G1401, toG2443 receiveG1325 a markG5480 inG1909 theirG846 rightG3588G1188 handG3588G5495, orG2228 inG1909 theirG846 foreheadsG3588G3359: 17AndG2532 thatG2443 noG3361 manG5100 mightG1410 buyG59 orG2228 sellG4453, save heG3361 thatG1487 hadG2192 the markG3588G5480, orG2228 the nameG3588G3686 of the beastG3588G2342, orG2228 the numberG3588G706 of hisG846 nameG3588G3686.
