2 And the beast which I saw was clike unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of da bear, and his mouth as the mouth of ea lion: and fthe dragon gave him his power, and ghis seat, and great hauthority. 3 And I saw one of his heads as it were †wounded to death; and ihis deadly wound was healed: and kall the world wondered lafter the beast. 4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave hpower unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, mWho is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? 5 And there was given unto him na mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and hpower was given unto him ||to ocontinue pforty and two months. 6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and qthem that dwell in heaven. 7 And it was given unto him rto make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and hpower was given him over sall kindreds, and tongues, and nations. 8 And all tthat dwell upon the earth shall worship him, kwhose names are not written in uthe book of life of vthe Lamb slain wfrom the foundation of the world.
