12. So be joyful, you heavens! Be glad, all you who live there! But how terrible it will be for the earth and the sea! The devil has come down to you. He is very angry. He knows his time is short."
13. The dragon saw that he had been thrown down to the earth. So he chased the woman who had given birth to the boy.
14. The woman was given the two wings of a great eagle so that she could fly away. She could fly to the place prepared for her in the desert. There she would be taken care of for three and a half years. She would be out of the serpent's reach.
15. Then the serpent spit water like a river out of his mouth. He wanted to catch her and sweep her away in the flood.
16. But the earth helped the woman. It opened its mouth and swallowed the river that the dragon had spit out.
