BEAST! with seven heads and ten horns: on his horns were ten diadems, and on his heads were blasphemous names.

The beast that I saw was like a leopard; his feet were like a bear, and his mouth was like the mouth of a lion; and the dragon gave him his strength and his throne and great power.

And I saw that one of his heads was as if mortally wounded, but this mortal wound was healed. And the whole earth marveled, watching the beast, and worshiped the dragon, who gave power to the beast, and worshiped the beast, saying, Who is like this beast? and who can fight him?

And he was given a mouth that spoke proudly and blasphemously, and he was given authority to act for forty-two months.

And he opened his mouth to blaspheme God, to blaspheme his name, and his dwelling place, and those who dwell in heaven.

And it was given to him to wage war with the saints and to overcome them; and power was given to him over every tribe, and people, and language, and tribe.

And all who live on earth will worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the creation of the world.

Whoever has an ear, let him hear.

Whoever leads into captivity, he himself will go into captivity; whoever kills with the sword, he himself must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and faith of the saints.

And I saw another beast coming out of the earth; he had two horns like lambs, and spoke like a dragon.

He acts before him with all the authority of the first beast, and causes all the earth and those who dwell on it to worship the first beast, whose mortal wound was healed.;

And he does great signs, so that he also brings down fire from heaven to the earth before men.

And by the miracles which he was given to do before the beast, he deceives those who dwell on the earth, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image of the beast, which has a wound from the sword and is alive.

And it was given to him to put the spirit into the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast would both speak and act in such a way that anyone who would not worship the image of the beast would be killed.

And he will do that all, small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, will have a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads,
and that no one will be allowed to buy or sell, except he who has this mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

Wisdom is here. Whoever has a mind, count the number of the beast, for this is a human number; his number is six hundred and sixty-six
