¹⁰ And they have pointed tails like scorpions; and in their tails is their power to give men wounds for five months.

³ And from the smoke locusts came out on the earth; and power was given them, like the power of scorpions.

⁶ And the Lord said to the Satan, See, he is in your hands, only do not take his life.

¹⁸ As for you, O King, the Most High God gave to Nebuchadnezzar, your father, the kingdom and great power and glory and honour:

¹⁹ And because of the great power he gave him, all peoples and nations and languages were shaking in fear before him: some he put to death and others he kept living, at his pleasure, lifting up some and putting others down as it pleased him.

²⁰ But when his heart was lifted up and his spirit became hard with pride, he was put down from his place as king, and they took his glory from him:

²² And you, his son, O Belshazzar, have not kept your heart free from pride, though you had knowledge of all this;

⁶ After this I saw another beast, like a leopard, which had on its back four wings like those of a bird; and the beast had four heads, and the power of a ruler was given to it.

⁷ And when they have come to the end of their witness, the beast which comes up out of the great deep will make war on them and overcome them and put them to death.

⁵ And there was given to him a mouth to say words of pride against God; and there was given to him authority to go on for forty-two months.

⁷ And it was given to him to make war on the saints and to overcome them: and there was given to him authority over every tribe and people and language and nation.
