And there was given to him a mouth to say words of pride against God; and there was given to him authority to go on for forty-two months.

And his mouth was open to say evil against God, and against his name and his Tent, even against those who are in heaven.

7

And it was given to him to make war on the saints and to overcome them: and there was given to him authority over every tribe and people and language and nation.

And all who are on the earth will give him worship, everyone whose name has not been from the first in the book of life of the Lamb who was put to death.

9

If any man has ears, let him give ear.
