Worsley(i)
2 And the beast which I saw was like a leopard, and his feet 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.
3 And I saw one of his heads as it were mortally wounded, but his deadly wound was healed: and all the earth wondered and went after the beast.
4 And they worshipped the dragon, who gave his power to the beast, and they worshipped the beast likewise, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war against him?
5 And there was given him a mouth speaking great and blasphemous things, and power was given him to make war forty two months.
6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemies against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and those that dwell in heaven.
7 And he was permitted to make war upon the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over every tribe, and tongue, and nation.
8 So that all who dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
9 If any one hath an ear, let him hear. Whosoever leadeth into captivity shall go away into captivity:
10 and he, that killeth with the sword, shall be slain with the sword. Here then is the patience and faith of the saints.
11 And I saw another beast ascending out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb; but he spake like a dragon.
12 And he exerciseth all the authority of the first beast in his presence; and makes the earth, and those that dwell in it, to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
