11. They overcame himby the blood of the Lamband by the word of their testimony,and they loved not their livesunto the death.
12. Therefore rejoice, O heavens,and you who dwell in them!Woe unto the inhabitants of the earth and the sea!For the devil has come down to you in great wrath,because he knows that his time is short.”
13. When the dragon saw that he was cast down to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male Child.
14. The woman was given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is to be nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent.
15. Then the serpent spewed water out of his mouth like a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away by the flood.
16. But the earth helped the woman. The earth opened its mouth and swallowed the flood which the dragon spewed out of his mouth.
17. Then the dragon was angry with the woman, and he went to wage war with the remnant of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
