13 ¹ and ^[a]he stood upon the sand of the sea.

And I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads, and on his horns ten diadems, and upon his heads names of blasphemy.

⁸ The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and is about to come up out of the abyss, ^[a]and to go into perdition. And they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, they whose name hath not been written ^[b]in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast, how that he was, and is not, and ^[c]shall come.

⁷ And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that cometh up out of the abyss shall make war with them, and overcome them, and kill them.

¹⁷ These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, that shall arise out of the earth.
