Revelation 13:4-8 And they worshiped the dragon, because he gave authority to the beast: and they worshiped the beast, saying, Who is like the beast? and, Who is able to make war with him?

Anderson⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ And they worshiped the dragon, because he gave authority to the beast: and they worshiped the beast, saying, Who is like the beast? and, Who is able to make war with him? ⁵ And there was given him a mouth that spoke great things and impious words; and authority was given to him to continue forty-two months. ⁶ And he opened his mouth in impious speeches against God, to utter impious words against his name, and his tabernacle, and against those who dwell in heaven. ⁷ And it was given him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and authority was given him over every tribe and people and tongue and nation. ⁸ And all that dwell upon the earth will worship him, those whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb that was slain from the foundation of the world.
