Revelation 20:1-3
Christian Standard Bible
Satan Bound
20 Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven holding the key to the abyss(A) and a great chain(B) in his hand. 2 He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent who is the devil and Satan,[a](C) and bound(D) him for a thousand years. 3 He threw him into the abyss, closed it, and put a seal on it(E) so that he would no longer deceive the nations(F) until the thousand years were completed. After that, he must be released for a short time.

Satan confined
20 Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding in his hand the key to the abyss and a huge chain. 2 He seized the dragon, the old snake, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. 3 He threw him into the abyss, then locked and sealed it over him. This was to keep him from continuing to deceive the nations until the thousand years were over. After this he must be released for a little while.
