The Beast from the Sea
13And I saw a beast coming up out of the sea. xHe yhad 10 horns and seven heads. On his horns were 10 diadems, zand on his heads were blasphemous names. ab2The beast I saw was like a leopard, his feet were like a bear’s, and his mouth was like a lion’s mouth. cThe dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority. 3One of his heads appeared to be fatally wounded, dbut his fatal wound was healed. The whole earth was amazed and followed the beast. ef4They worshiped the dragon gbecause he gave authority to the beast. And they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast? hWho is able to wage war against him?”
5A mouth was given to him to speak boasts and blasphemies. iHe was also given authority to act jkfor 42 months. l
