⁹ The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent^(A) called the devil,^(B) or Satan,^(C) who leads the whole world astray.^(D) He was hurled to the earth,^(E) and his angels with him.

³ He threw him into the Abyss,^(A) and locked and sealed^(B) it over him, to keep him from deceiving the nations^(C) anymore until the thousand years were ended. After that, he must be set free for a short time.
