[2]And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. |

| [4]And they worshipped the dragon, because he had given authority to this beast of prey, and [they said], who can make war upon him? |
[4]And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? |
| [5]And there was given to him a mouth speaking great things, and blasphemies: and authority was given him to operate forty and two months. |
[5]And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. |

[6]And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. |

[7]And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. |
| [8]And all that dwell on the earth, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world, will worship him. |
[8]And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. |
| [9]If any one hath ears, let him hear. |
[9]If any man have an ear, let him hear. |
| [10]If [any one] carrieth into captivity, he shall himself go into captivity; and if any one slayeth with the sword, he must be slain with the sword: here is the patience and the faith of the saints. |
[10]He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. |
| [11]And I saw another beast of prey, which came out of the earth; and he had two horns like those of a lamb, and he spoke like the dragon. |
[11]And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. |
| [12]And before him he exercised all the authority of the first beast of prey, whose deadly wound was healed. |
[12]And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. |
| [13]And he wrought great signs, even so as to make fire come down from heaven upon the earth, before men. |
[13]And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, |
| [14]And he seduced them that dwell on the earth, to erect an image to the beast of prey who had the wound from a sword and recovered. |
[14]And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. |
| [15]And it was given him to put life into the image of the beast of prey; and to cause that all they who would not worship the image of the beast of prey, should be slain: |
[15]And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. |
| [16]and to cause that all, great and small, rich and poor, bond and free, should receive a mark on their right hands, or upon their foreheads; |
[16]And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: |
| [17]so that no one might be able to buy or to sell, except those who had the mark of the name of the beast of prey, or the number of his name. |
[17]And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. |
| [18]Here is wisdom: let him that hath intelligence, compute the number of the beast of prey; for it is the number of a man: and its number is six hundred and sixty and six. |
[18]Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. |
