Revelation 12:13-13:2

English Standard Version

¹³ And when the dragon saw that he had been thrown down to the earth, he pursued ^(A)the woman who had given birth to the male child. ¹⁴ But the woman was given the two ^(B)wings of the great eagle so that she might fly from the serpent ^(C)into the wilderness, to the place where she is to be nourished ^(D)for a time, and times, and half a time. ¹⁵ The serpent poured water ^(E)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 ^(F)to make war on the rest of ^(G)her offspring, ^(H)on those who keep the commandments of God and hold to ^(I)the testimony of Jesus. And he stood^[a] on the sand of the sea.

The First Beast

13 And I saw a beast rising out of the sea, ^(J)with ten horns and seven heads, with ten diadems on its horns and ^(K)blasphemous names on its heads. ² And the beast that I saw was ^(L)like a leopard; its feet were like ^(M)a bear's, and its mouth was like ^(N)a lion's mouth. And to it ^(O)the dragon gave his power and ^(P)his throne and great authority.
