5And a mouth was given to him, speaking great things and blasphemies, and authority was given to him to act for forty-two months.

6And it opened its mouth in blasphemies against God, to blaspheme his name and his dwelling, those dwelling in heaven.

7And it was given to him to make war against the saints and to conquer them, and authority was given to him over every tribe and people and language and nation.

8And all who dwell on the earth will worship him—everyone whose name has not been written in the book of life of the Lamb who was slain from the foundation of the world.
