¹⁵ And there will be war between you and the woman and between your seed and her seed: by him will your head be crushed and by you his foot will be wounded.

¹² The sinner has evil designs against the upright, lifting up the voice of wrath against him.

¹³ He will be laughed at by the Lord, who sees that his day is coming.

¹⁴ The evil-doers have taken out their swords, their bows are bent; for crushing the poor, and to put to death those who are upright in their ways.

³³ I have said all these things to you so that in me you may have peace. In the world you have trouble: but take heart! I have overcome the world.

³ And there was seen another sign in heaven; a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads seven crowns.

⁴ And his tail was pulling a third part of the stars of heaven down to the earth, and the dragon took his place before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when the birth had taken place he might put an end to her child.

⁵ And she gave birth to a son, a male child, who was to have rule over all the nations with a rod of iron: and her child was taken up to God and to his high seat.
