² And the beast that I saw was ^(A)like a leopard; its feet were like ^(B)a bear's, and its mouth was like ^(C)a lion's mouth. And to it ^(D)the dragon gave his power and ^(E)his throne and great authority.

¹⁰ The fifth angel poured out his bowl on ^(A)the throne of the beast, and ^(B)its kingdom was plunged into darkness. People gnawed their tongues in anguish

⁴ The first was like a lion and had eagles' wings. Then as I looked its wings were plucked off, and it was lifted up from the ground and made to stand on two feet like a man, and the mind of a man was given to it. ⁵ And behold, ^(A)another beast, a second one, like a bear. It was raised up on one side. It had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth; and it was told, ‘Arise, devour much flesh.’ ⁶ After this I looked, and behold, another, like a ^(B)leopard, with four wings of a bird on its back. And the beast had four heads, and ^(C)dominion was given to it. ⁷ After this I saw in the night visions, and behold, a fourth beast, ^(D)terrifying and dreadful and exceedingly strong. It had great iron teeth; ^(E)it devoured and broke in pieces ^(F)and stamped what was left with its feet. It was different from all the beasts that were before it, and ^(G)it had ten horns.

² And he seized ^(A)the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, and ^(B)bound him for a thousand years,

¹² And ^(A)the ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have not yet received royal power, but they are to receive authority as kings ^(B)for one hour, together with the beast.

⁹ And ^(A)the great dragon was thrown down, ^(B)that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, ^(C)the deceiver of the whole world—^(D)he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.

²⁰ And the beast was captured, and with it ^(A)the false prophet ^(B)who in its presence^[a] had done the signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who ^(C)worshiped its image. These two were ^(D)thrown alive into the lake of ^(E)fire that burns with sulfur.

⁴ And they worshiped the dragon, for he had given his authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, ^(A)“Who is like the beast, and who can fight against it?”

¹⁵ The serpent poured water ^(A)like a river out of his mouth after the woman, to sweep her away with a flood.
