The First Beast

13 And I saw a beast rising out of the sea, ^(A)with ten horns and seven heads, with ten diadems on its horns and ^(B)blasphemous names on its heads.

¹⁴ and by the signs that it is allowed to work in the presence of^[a] the beast ^(A)it deceives those who dwell on earth, telling them to make an image for the beast ^(B)that was wounded by the sword and yet lived.

¹³ And I saw, coming out of the mouth of ^(A)the dragon and out of the mouth of ^(B)the beast and out of the mouth of ^(C)the false prophet, three ^(D)unclean spirits like ^(E)frogs.
