Revelation 12:16-18

Expanded Bible

¹⁶ But the earth ·helped [rescued] the woman by opening its mouth and swallowing the river that ·came [spewed; ^Lwas thrown] from the mouth of the dragon. ¹⁷ Then the dragon was ·very angry [furious; full of wrath] at the woman, and he went off to make war against ·all her other children [^Lthe rest of her seed/offspring]—those who obey God’s commands and who ·have the message Jesus taught [or hold fast to their testimony about Jesus].

¹⁸ And the dragon^[a] stood on the ·seashore [^Lsand of the sea; ^Csome commentators and translations take this verse as the introduction to the episode in chapter 13].
