7

The War in Heaven

And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,

8

but they [a]did not prevail, nor was a place found for [b]them in heaven any longer.

8

And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.

9

So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time.”

12

Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.

The Dragon Persecutes the Woman

And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.
