And the beast was given (A)a mouth uttering haughty and blasphemous words, and it was allowed to exercise authority for (B)forty-two months. It opened its mouth to utter blasphemies against God, blaspheming his name and his dwelling,[a] that is, those who dwell in heaven. Also it was allowed (C)to make war on the saints and to conquer them.[b] And authority was given it over every tribe and people and language and nation, and all (D)who dwell on earth will worship it, everyone whose name has not been written before the foundation of the world in (E)the book of life of (F)the Lamb (G)who was slain.
