He ate grass like cattle, and his body was drenched with the dew of heaven until he acknowledged that the Most High God rules over the kingdom of men and sets over it whomever He wishes. 22 But you, his son Belshazzar, have not humbled your heart, even though you knew all this. 23 Instead, you have exalted yourself against the Lord of heaven. You had the vessels from His house brought to you, and you and your nobles, your wives, and your concubines drank wine from them. You praised gods of silver, gold, bronze, iron, wood, and stone, which cannot see, hear, or understand. But the God who holds your breath in His hand and controls all your ways, you have not glorified.

    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.

    20And about the ten horns that were on its head, and the other horn that came up, before which three fell—the horn that had eyes and a mouth speaking great things, and whose appearance was greater than the others.

    22Until the Ancient of Days came and judgment was given in favor of the holy ones of the Most High, and the time came for the holy ones to possess the kingdom.

    23He said, 'The fourth beast will be a fourth kingdom on earth, different from all the other kingdoms. It will devour the whole earth, trample it, and crush it.'

    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.

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

    14They will make war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will conquer them, because He is Lord of lords and King of kings. Those who are with Him are called, chosen, and faithful.

    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.
