Revelation 13:9-15 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

9. If anyone has an ear, let him hear!

10. If anyone is going into captivity, into captivity he goes. If anyone is to be killed by the sword, by the sword he is to be killed. Here is the patient endurance and the faith of the saints.

11. And I saw another beast coming up from the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb, and he was speaking like a dragon.

12. And he exercises all the authority of the first beast on behalf of him, and he causes the earth and those who live in it to worship the first beast whose fatal wound had been healed.

13. And he performs great signs, so that he even causes fire from heaven to come down to the earth before people.

14. And he deceives those who live on the earth because of the signs that it has been granted to him to perform on behalf of the beast, telling those who live on the earth to make an image to the beast who has the wound of the sword and yet lived.

15. And it was given to him to put breath into the image of the beast, in order that the image of the beast both spoke and caused that all those, unless they worshiped the image of the beast, should be killed.
