Who can wage war against it?" 5 The beast was given a mouth to speak arrogant words and blasphemies, and it was given authority to act for forty-two months. 6 It opened its mouth to blaspheme against God, to slander His name, His dwelling, and those who dwell in heaven. 7 It was also given power to wage war against the saints and to conquer them. It was given authority over every tribe, people, language, and nation. 8 All those who live on the earth will worship it, everyone whose names have not been written in the Lamb's book of life, the Lamb who was slain from the foundation of the world. 9 If anyone has ears to hear, let them listen. 10 If anyone is to go into captivity, into captivity they will go.

That is for the priests, the descendants of Aaron, who have been consecrated to burn incense. Leave the sanctuary, for you have been unfaithful, and you will not be honored by the Lord God.' 19 Uzziah, who was holding a censer to burn incense, became angry. While he was raging at the priests, leprosy broke out on his forehead in the presence of the priests in the house of the Lord, near the altar of incense. 20 Azariah the chief priest and all the other priests looked at him, and they saw that he had leprosy on his forehead. So they hurried him out, and he himself was eager to leave because the Lord had afflicted him.
