    1Then I saw a beast rising out of the sea. It had seven heads and ten horns, and on its horns were ten crowns, and on its heads were names of blasphemy.

    2The beast I saw was like a leopard, its feet were like those of a bear, and its mouth was like a lion's mouth. The dragon gave the beast his power, his throne, and great authority.

    3One of the beast's heads appeared to have been fatally wounded, but its mortal wound was healed. The whole earth marveled and followed the beast.

    4They worshiped the dragon because he had given authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, "Who is like the beast? Who can wage war against it?"

    5The beast was given a mouth to speak arrogant words and blasphemies, and it was given authority to act for forty-two months.

    6It opened its mouth to blaspheme against God, to slander His name, His dwelling, and those who dwell in heaven.

    7It 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.

    8All 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.

    9If anyone has ears to hear, let them listen.

    10If anyone is to go into captivity, into captivity they will go. If anyone is to be killed with the sword, with the sword they will be killed. This calls for the endurance and faith of the saints.

    11Then I saw another beast rising out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb, but it spoke like a dragon.

    12It exercises all the authority of the first beast on its behalf, and it makes the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose mortal wound was healed.

    13It performs great signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to earth in full view of the people.

    14It deceives those who dwell on the earth by the signs it was allowed to perform in the presence of the beast, telling those who live on the earth to make an image to the beast that was wounded by the sword and yet lived.

    15It was allowed to give breath to the image of the beast so that the image of the beast could speak and cause all who would not worship the image of the beast to be killed.
