3. And one of its heads appeared as though slaughtered to death, and its fatal wound had been healed. And the whole earth was astonished and followed after the beast.
4. And they worshiped the dragon because he had given authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast, and who is able to make war with him?
5. And a mouth was given to him speaking great things and blasphemies, and authority to act was given to him for forty-two months.
6. And he opened his mouth for blasphemies toward God, to blaspheme his name and his dwelling, those who live in heaven.
7. And it was given to him to make war with the saints and to conquer them. And authority was given to him over every tribe and people and language and nation.
8. And all those who live on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name is not written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who was slaughtered.
9. If anyone has an ear, let him hear!
10. If anyone is going into captivity, into captivity he goes. If anyone is to be killed by the sword, by the sword he is to be killed. Here is the patient endurance and the faith of the saints.
11. And I saw another beast coming up from the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb, and he was speaking like a dragon.
12. And he exercises all the authority of the first beast on behalf of him, and he causes the earth and those who live in it to worship the first beast whose fatal wound had been healed.
13. And he performs great signs, so that he even causes fire from heaven to come down to the earth before people.
