Revelation 13:3-7
American Standard Version
3 And I saw one of his heads as though it had been [a]smitten unto death; and his death-stroke was healed: and the whole earth wondered after the beast; 4 and they [b]worshipped the dragon, because he gave his authority unto the beast; and they [c]worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? and who is able to war with him? 5 and there was given to him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and there was given to him authority [d]to continue forty and two months. 6 And he opened his mouth for blasphemies against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, even them that [e]dwell in the heaven. 7 [f]And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and there was given to him authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation.

Revelation 13:3-7
New American Standard Bible 1995
3 I saw one of his heads as if it had been [a]slain, and his (A)fatal wound was healed. And the whole earth (B)was amazed and followed after the beast; 4 they worshiped the (C)dragon because he (D)gave his authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, “(E)Who is like the beast, and who is able to wage war with him?” 5 There was given to him a mouth (F)speaking [b]arrogant words and blasphemies, and authority to act for (G)forty-two months was given to him. 6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemies against God, to blaspheme His name and His tabernacle, that is, (H)those who [c]dwell in heaven.
7 It was also given to him to (I)make war with the [d]saints and to overcome them, and authority over (J)every tribe and people and tongue and nation was given to him.
