RKJNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ And they worshipped the dragon, because he gave authority to the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like the beast? who is able to make war against him? ⁵ And there was given to him a mouth speaking proud words and blasphemies; and authority was given to him to act for forty-two months. ⁶ And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his dwelling, and those who live in heaven. ⁷ And it was given to him to make war on the saints, and to overcome them: and authority was given to him over every tribe, and people, and tongue, and nation.
