 1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up
      out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten
      crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
                     2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet
      were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion:
      and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
                     3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his
      deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
                     4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast:
      and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast?
      who is able to make war with him?
                     5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and
      blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two
      months.
                     6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme
      his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
                     7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to
      overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and
      nations.
                     8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names
      are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation
      of the world.
                     9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.
                     10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that
      killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience
      and the faith of the saints. 11 And I beheld another beast coming
      up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a
      dragon.
                    12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him,
      and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first
      beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
                     13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down
      from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
                     14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of
      those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying
      to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the
      beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
                     15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that
      the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would
      not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
                     16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free
      and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
                     17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark,
      or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
                     18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the
      number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is
      Six hundred threescore and six.
