A beast riseth out of the sea with seven heads and ten horns, to whom the dragon giveth his power.

1 ¶ Andº I stoodºª uponº the² sandº of the² sea,º andº sawºª a beastº rise upºª out ofº the² sea,º havingºª sevenº headsº andº tenº horns,º andº uponº his¹² hornsº tenº crowns,º andº uponº his¹² headsº the nameº of blasphemy.º 2 Andº the² beastº whichº I sawºª wasºª like¹ unto² a leopard,º andº his¹² feetº were asº [the feet] of a bear,º andº his¹² mouthº asº the mouthº of a lion:º andº the² dragonº gaveºª himº his¹² power,º andº his¹² seat,º andº greatº authority.º 3 Andº I sawºª oneº of his¹² headsº as it wereº woundedºª toº death;º andº his¹² deadlyº woundº was healed:ºª andº allº the² worldº wonderedºªªª afterº¹ the² beast.º 4 Andº they worshippedºª the² dragonº whichº gaveºª powerº unto the² beast:º andº they worshippedºª the² beast,º saying,ºª Whoº [is] like¹ unto² the² beast?º whoº is ableºª to make warºª withº him?º 5 Andº there was givenºª unto himº a mouthº speakingºª great thingsº andº blasphemies;º andº powerº was givenºª unto himº to continueºª forty¹ [and] twoº² months.º 6 Andº he openedºª his¹² mouthº inº blasphemyº againstº God,º to blasphemeºª his¹² name,º andº his¹² tabernacle,º andº them that dwellºª inº heaven.º 7 Andº it was givenºª unto himº to makeºª warº withº the² saints,º andº to overcomeºª them:º andº powerº was givenºª himº overº allº kindreds,º andº tongues,º andº nations.º 8 Andº allº that dwellºª uponº the² earthº shall worshipºª him,º whoseº namesº are¹ª notº writtenºª inº the² bookº of lifeº of the² Lambº slainºª fromº the foundationº of the world.º 9 If any manº haveºª an ear,º let him hear.ºª 10 He thatº leadeth¹ª into² captivityº shall goºª intoº captivity:º he thatº killethºª withº the swordº mustºª be² killedºª withº the sword.º Hereº isºª the² patienceº andº the² faithº of the² saints.º
