⁷ Therefore, as soon as all the peoples heard the sound of the horn, pipe, lyre, trigon, harp, bagpipe, and every kind of music, all ^(A)the peoples, nations, and languages fell down and worshiped the golden image that King Nebuchadnezzar had set up.

²⁰ And the beast was captured, and with it ^(A)the false prophet ^(B)who in its presence^[a] had done the signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who ^(C)worshiped its image. These two were ^(D)thrown alive into the lake of ^(E)fire that burns with sulfur.

⁸ The beast that you saw ^(A)was, and is not, and ^(B)is about to rise from ^(C)the bottomless pit^[a] and ^(D)go to destruction. And ^(E)the dwellers on earth whose names have not been written in ^(F)the book of life from the foundation of the world will marvel to see the beast, because ^(G)it was and is not and is to come.

¹⁴ and by the signs that it is allowed to work in the presence of^[a] the beast ^(A)it deceives those who dwell on earth, telling them to make an image for the beast ^(B)that was wounded by the sword and yet lived.

⁸ and all ^(A)who dwell on earth will worship it, everyone whose name has not been written before the foundation of the world in ^(B)the book of life of ^(C)the Lamb ^(D)who was slain.

³ One of its heads seemed to have a mortal wound, but its mortal wound was healed, and ^(A)the whole earth marveled as they followed the beast.

⁹ And ^(A)the great dragon was thrown down, ^(B)that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, ^(C)the deceiver of the whole world—^(D)he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.

¹⁹ We know that we are from God, and ^(A)the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.
