Who is able to make war with him?" 5 And there was given to him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given to him to continue for forty-two months. 6 And he opened his mouth to blaspheme against God, to blaspheme His name, and His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven. 7 And it was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them, and power was given him over all tribes, tongues, and nations. 8 And all who dwell on the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. 9 If anyone has an ear, let him hear. 10 He who leads into captivity shall go into captivity; he who kills with the sword must be killed with the sword.

And what profit do we have if we pray to Him? 16 Indeed, their prosperity is not in their hand; the counsel of the wicked is far from me. 17 How often is the lamp of the wicked put out!
