    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.

    16It forces everyone—small and great, rich and poor, free and slave—to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads,

    17so that no one can buy or sell unless they have the mark: the name of the beast or the number of its name.

    5On her forehead was written a name: 'Mystery, Babylon the Great, the Mother of Prostitutes and of the Abominations of the Earth.'

    6I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints and the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. When I saw her, I was utterly amazed.

    7Then the angel said to me, 'Why are you amazed? I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the beast with the seven heads and ten horns that carries her.'

    8The beast you saw was, and is not, and is about to ascend from the abyss and go to destruction. Those who dwell on the earth, whose names have not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, will marvel when they see the beast, because it was, is not, and yet is.

    9This calls for a mind with wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits.

    10They are also seven kings: five have fallen, one is, and the other has not yet come. When he does come, he must remain for only a short time.

    11The beast that was, and is not, is an eighth, but it belongs to the seven, and it goes to destruction.

    12The ten horns you saw are ten kings, who have not yet received a kingdom, but they will receive authority as kings for one hour along with the beast.

    13These kings have one purpose, and they will give their power and authority to the beast.

    15Then he said to me, 'The waters you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations, and tongues.'

    16The ten horns you saw, and the beast, will hate the prostitute. They will leave her desolate and naked, devour her flesh, and burn her with fire.

    17For God has put it into their hearts to carry out His purpose by agreeing to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God are fulfilled.

    18And the woman you saw is the great city that rules over the kings of the earth.
