⁴ They worshiped the dragon^(A) because he gave authority to the beast. And they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast?^(B) Who is able to wage war against him?”

⁵ A mouth was given to him to speak boasts and blasphemies.^(C) He was also given authority to act^[a][b] for 42 months.^{(D) 6} He began to speak^[c] blasphemies against God: to blaspheme His name and His dwelling—those who dwell in heaven.
