Revelation 13:3-12

Moffatt(i) 3 One of his heads looked as if it had been slain and killed, but the deadly wound was healed, and the whole earth went after him in wonder, 4 worshipping the dragon for having given authority to the Beast, and worshipping the Beast with the cry, "Who is like the Beast? Who can fight with him?" 5 He was allowed to utter loud and blasphemous vaunts, and allowed to exert authority for two and forty months; 6 so he opened his mouth for blasphemies against God, to blaspheme his name and his dwelling (that is, the dwellers in heaven). 7 He was allowed to wage war on the saints and to conquer them, and given authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation; 8 and all the dwellers on earth will be his worshippers, everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of Life. 9 Let anyone who has an ear listen: — 10 Whoever is destined for captivity, to captivity he goes: whoever kills with the sword, by the sword must he be killed. This is what shows the patience and the faith of the saints. 11 Then I saw another Beast rising from the land; he had two horns like a lamb, but he spoke like a dragon. 12 He exerts the full authority of the first Beast in his presence, causing the earth and its inhabitants to worship the first Beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
