Revelation 13:2-7

Goodspeed(i) 2 The animal I saw was like a leopard, its feet were like a bear's, and its mouth was like a lion's mouth. The dragon gave it his own power and his throne and great authority. 3 One of its heads seemed to have received a mortal wound, but its mortal wound had been healed. And the whole earth followed the animal in wonder, 4 and worshiped the dragon for having given the animal his authority, and they worshiped the animal, and said, "Who is there like the animal? Who can fight with it?" 5 It was allowed to utter great boasts and blasphemies, and to exert authority for forty-two months. 6 It opened its mouth in blasphemies against God, blaspheming his name and his dwelling-place, that is, those who live in heaven. 7 It was allowed to make war on God's people and to conquer them, and it was given authority over every tribe, people, language, and nation.
