¹⁷And the dragon was angry against the woman: and went to make war with the rest of her seed, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

¹⁸And he stood upon the sand of the sea.

Chapter 13

And I saw a beast coming up out the sea, having seven heads and ten horns: and upon his horns, ten diadems: and upon his heads, names of blasphemy.

²And the beast which I saw was like to 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 own strength and great power.

³And I saw one of his heads as it were slain to death: and his death’s wound was healed. And all the earth was in admiration after the beast.

⁴And they adored the dragon which gave power to the beast. And they adored the beast, saying: Who is like to the beast? And who shall be able to fight with him?

⁵And there was given to him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies: and power was given to him to do, two and forty months.

⁶And he opened his mouth unto blasphemies against God, to blaspheme his name and his tabernacle and them that dwell in heaven.
