The Beast out of the Sea

13 The dragon^[a] stood on the shore of the sea. And I saw a beast coming out of the sea.^(A) It had ten horns and seven heads,^(B) with ten crowns on its horns, and on each head a blasphemous name.^(C)

⁶ It opened its mouth to blaspheme God, and to slander his name and his dwelling place and those who live in heaven.^{(A) 7} It was given power to wage war^(B) against God’s holy people and to conquer them. And it was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation.^(C)
