they worshiped the (A)dragon because he (B)gave his authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, “(C)Who is like the beast, and who is able to wage war with him?” A mouth was given to him (D)speaking [a]arrogant words and blasphemies, and authority to act for (E)forty-two months was given to him. And he opened his mouth in blasphemies against God, to blaspheme His name and His tabernacle, that is, (F)those who dwell in heaven.

It was also given to him to (G)make war with the [b]saints and to overcome them, and authority was given to him over (H)every tribe, people, language, and nation. All who (I)live on the earth will worship him, everyone (J)whose name has not been [c]written (K)since the foundation of the world in the (L)book of life of (M)the Lamb who has been slaughtered.
