AUV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ And the beast was given [by the dragon ?] a mouth for making proud claims and [speaking] blasphemous words, and the authority to act for forty-two months [See 11:2; 12:6]. ⁶ And he opened his mouth to speak slanderous words against God and against His name and His Tabernacle, that is, those living in heaven. ⁷ And he was given [the power] to wage war against the saints [i.e., God’s holy people] and to conquer them; and he was given authority over every tribe, race, language group and nation.
