* And I stood upon the sand of the sea , and saw a savage beast ascending out of the sea , having seven heads and ten horns ; and upon its horns were ten diadems ; and on its heads were the named of defamation . * And the beast which I saw was like a leopard , and its feet were like those of a bear , and its mouth like the mouth of a lion ; and the dragon gave it his power , and his throne , and great authority . * And I saw one of its heads wounded , as it were , to death ; and yet its mortal wound was healed . And the whole earth wondered , and followed after the wild beast ; * and they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the wild beast , saying , Who is like to the beast ? who can war against it ? * And there was given to it a mouth speaking great things , and defamation : and there was given to it power to practice forty-two months - * and it opened its mouth to utter defamation against God ; to defame his name and his tabernacle , and those that dwell in heaven . * And it was given to it to make war with the saints , and to overcome them : and there was given to it power over every tribe , and tongue , and nation . * And all the inhabitants of the earth shall worship it , whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb , that was slain from the beginning of the world . * If any one has an ear , let him hear . * If any one lead them into captivity , he shall be led into captivity : if any one slay with the sword , he shall himself be slain with the sword . Here is the patience and the faith of the saints .
