AND as I stood on the sand of the sea, I saw a wild beast rise up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads blasphemous words.

And the wild beast which I saw was like to a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his throne, and great authority.

And one of his heads was as though mortally wounded; but his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered about the wild beast.

And they worshipped the dragon because he had given power to the beast : who can prevail against him to fight him?

And I beheld another wild beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke as a dragon.

And all the power of the first wild beast before him was exercised by him, and he caused the earth and those who dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

Beguiling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the wild beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived.

And he had power to give life to the image of the wild beast, and to cause all those who would not worship the image of the wild beast to be killed.

So that no man might buy or sell, except he who had the mark of the name of the beast, or the code number of his name.

And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and those who were victorious over the beast, and over his image, and over the number of his name, were standing on the sea of glass, and had the harps of God.

And the first went and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there came a severe and malignant sore upon the men who had the mark of the beast, and upon those who worshipped his image.

And the fifth angel poured out his vial on the throne of the wild beast; and his kingdom was darkened; and they gnawed their tongues from pain,

And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs coming out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the wild beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.

So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet wild beast inscribed with many words of blasphemy and having seven heads and ten horns.

And the angel said to me, Why do you wonder? I will tell you the mystery of the woman, and of the wild beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns.

The wild beast that you saw was, and is not, and is ready to come up from the bottomless pit and go to be destroyed: and those who dwell on earth whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, shall wonder when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and now whose end has come.
