⁴ They worshiped the dragon because he gave authority to the beast. And they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to wage war against him?” ⁵ A mouth was given to him to speak boasts and blasphemies. He was also given authority to act for 42 months. ⁶ He began to speak blasphemies against God: to blaspheme His name and His dwelling—those who dwell in heaven.
