All who (A)live on the earth will worship him, everyone (B)whose name has not been [a]written (C)since the foundation of the world in the (D)book of life of (E)the Lamb who has been slaughtered. (F)If anyone has an ear, let him hear. 10 (G)If anyone [b]is destined for captivity, to captivity he goes; (H)if anyone kills with the sword, with the sword he must be killed. Here is (I)the [c]perseverance and the faith of the [d]saints.

The Beast from the Earth

11 Then (J)I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had (K)two horns like a lamb, and he spoke as a (L)dragon. 12 He (M)exercises all the authority of the first beast [e](N)in his presence. And he makes (O)the earth and those who live on it (P)worship the first beast, whose (Q)fatal wound was healed. 13 He (R)performs great signs, so that he even makes (S)fire come down out of the sky to the earth in the presence of people. 14 And he (T)deceives (U)those who live on the earth because of (V)the signs which it was given him to perform [f](W)in the presence of the beast, telling those who live on the earth to make an image to the beast who *had the (X)wound of the sword and has come to life. 15 And it was given to him to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast would even [g]speak and cause (Y)all who do not (Z)worship the image of the beast to be killed.
