4His tail drew one third of the stars of the sky, and threw them to the earth. The dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she gave birth he might devour her child.

9The great dragon was thrown down, the old serpent, he who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world. He was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.

10I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, “Now the salvation, the power, and the Kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ has come; for the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down, who accuses them before our God day and night.

11They overcame him because of the Lamb’s blood, and because of the word of their testimony. They didn’t love their life, even to death.

12Therefore rejoice, heavens, and you who dwell in them. Woe to the earth and to the sea, because the devil has gone down to you, having great wrath, knowing that he has but a short time.”

13When the dragon saw that he was thrown down to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male child.
14ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩϯ ⲛⲁⲥ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓϣϯ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛϩ ⲃ̅ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲛⲛⲁ ⲟⲩⲁϧⲱⲙ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲥϩⲱⲗ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲡϣⲁϥⲉ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ϯ⳿ⲥϩⲓⲙⲓ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲫⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲛⲁϣⲁⲛⲟⲩϣⲥ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲥⲏⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲙ ϩⲁⲛⲥⲏⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲙ ⳿ⲧⲫⲁϣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲥⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲁ ⳿ⲡϩⲟ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓϩⲟϥ.
14Two wings of the great eagle were given to the woman, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, so that she might be nourished for a time, times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.

15The serpent spewed water out of his mouth after the woman like a river, that he might cause her to be carried away by the stream.

16The earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the river which the dragon spewed out of his mouth.

17The dragon grew angry with the woman, and went away to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep God’s commandments and hold Jesus’ testimony.
