Revelation 13:11-15

New American Standard Bible

The Beast from the Earth

¹¹ Then ^(A)I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had ^(B)two horns like a lamb, and he spoke as a ^(C)dragon. ¹² He ^(D)exercises all the authority of the first beast ^[a](E)in his presence. And he makes ^(F)the earth and those who live on it ^(G)worship the first beast, whose ^(H)fatal wound was healed. ¹³ He ^(I)performs great signs, so that he even makes ^(J)fire come down out of the sky to the earth in the presence of people. ¹⁴ And he ^(K)deceives ^(L)those who live on the earth because of ^(M)the signs which it was given him to perform ^[b](N)in the presence of the beast, telling those who live on the earth to make an image to the beast who *had the ^(O)wound of the sword and has come to life. ¹⁵ And it was given to him to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast would even ^[c]speak and cause ^(P)all who do not ^(Q)worship the image of the beast to be killed.
