Revelation 13:1-10

The Beast from the Sea

1 And the dragon stood on the sand of the seashore. Then I saw a 1beast coming up out of the sea, having 2ten horns and 3seven heads, and on his horns were 4ten diadems, and on his heads were 5blasphemous names.
2 And the beast which I saw was 6like a leopard, and his feet were like those of 7a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of 8a lion. And the 9dragon gave him his power and his 10throne and great authority.
3 I saw one of his heads as if it had been slain, and his 11fatal wound was healed. And the whole earth 12was amazed and followed after the beast;
4 they worshiped the 13dragon because he 14gave his authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, "15Who is like the beast, and who is able to wage war with him?"
5 There was given to him a mouth 16speaking arrogant words and blasphemies, and authority to act for 17forty-two * months was given to him.
6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemies against God, to blaspheme His name and His tabernacle, that is, 18those who dwell in heaven.
7 It was also given to him to 19make war with the saints and to overcome them, and authority over 20every tribe and people and tongue and nation was given to him.
8 All who 21dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone 22whose name has not been written 23from the foundation of the world in the 24book of life of 25the Lamb who has been slain.
9 26If anyone has an ear, let him hear.
10 27If anyone is destined for captivity, to captivity he goes; 28if anyone kills with the sword, with the sword he must be killed. Here is 29the perseverance and the faith of the saints.
