⁴ So they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, ^(A)“Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?”

⁵ And he was given ^(B)a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given authority to ^[a]continue for ^(C)forty-two months. ⁶ Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, ^(D)His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven. ⁷ It was granted to him ^(E)to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And ^(F)authority was given him over every ^[b]tribe, tongue, and nation. ⁸ All who dwell on the earth will worship him, ^(G)whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain ^(H)from the foundation of the world.

^9 (I)If anyone has an ear, let him hear. ^10 (J)He who leads into captivity shall go into captivity; ^(K)he who kills with the sword must be killed with the sword. ^(L)Here is the ^[c]patience and the faith of the saints.
