Revelation 12:12-17

English Standard Version

¹² Therefore, ^(A)rejoice, O heavens and you who dwell in them! But ^(B)woe to you, O earth and sea, for the devil has come down to you in great wrath, because ^(C)he knows that his time is short!”

¹³ And when the dragon saw that he had been thrown down to the earth, he pursued ^(D)the woman who had given birth to the male child. ¹⁴ But the woman was given the two ^(E)wings of the great eagle so that she might fly from the serpent ^(F)into the wilderness, to the place where she is to be nourished ^(G)for a time, and times, and half a time. ¹⁵ The serpent poured water ^(H)like a river out of his mouth after the woman, to sweep her away with a flood. ¹⁶ But the earth came to the help of the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed the river that the dragon had poured from his mouth. ¹⁷ Then the dragon became furious with the woman and went off ^(I)to make war on the rest of ^(J)her offspring, ^(K)on those who keep the commandments of God and hold to ^(L)the testimony of Jesus. And he stood^[a] on the sand of the sea.
