| 7 And there was war in heaven, Michael and his angels waging war with the dragon. The dragon and his angels waged war, | 7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, | 7 Then a war broke out in heaven. Michael and his angels had to fight a war with the serpent. The serpent and its angels fought. | 7 There was war in the sky. Michael and his angels made war on the dragon. The dragon and his angels made war. | 7 And there was war in the heaven: Michael and his angels went to war with the dragon. And the dragon fought, and his angels; | 8 and they were not strong enough, and there was no longer a place found for them in heaven. | 8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. | 8 But it was not strong enough, and there was no longer any place for them in heaven. | 8 They didn't prevail, neither was a place found for him any more in heaven. | 8 and he prevailed not, nor was their place found any more in the heaven. | 9 And the great dragon was thrown down, the serpent of old who is called the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him. | 9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. | 9 The huge serpent was thrown down. That ancient snake, named Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world, was thrown down to earth. Its angels were thrown down with it. | 9 The great dragon was thrown down, the old serpent, he who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world.

| 11 "And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, and they did not love their life even when faced with death. | 11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. | 11 They won the victory over him because of the blood of the lamb and the word of their testimony. They didn't love their life so much that they refused to give it up. | 11 They 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. | 11 and they have overcome him by reason of the blood of the Lamb, and by reason of the word of their testimony, and have not loved their life even unto death. | 12 "For this reason, rejoice, O heavens and you who dwell in them. Woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, knowing that he has only 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. | 12 Be glad for this reason, heavens and those who live in them. How horrible it is for the earth and the sea because the Devil has come down to them with fierce anger, knowing that he has little time left." | 12 Therefore 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." | 12 Therefore be full of delight, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the earth and to the sea, because the devil has come down to you, having great rage, knowing he has a short time. | 13 And when the dragon saw that he was thrown down to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male child. | 13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child. | 13 When the serpent saw that it had been thrown down to earth, it persecuted the woman who had given birth to the boy. | 13 When the dragon saw that he was thrown down to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male child. | 13 And when the dragon saw that he had been cast out into the earth, he persecuted the woman which bore the male child. | 14 But the two wings of the great eagle were given to the woman, so that she could fly into the wilderness to her place, where she was nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent. | 14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. | 14 The woman was given the two wings of the large eagle in order to fly away from the snake to her place in the wilderness, where she could be taken care of for a time, times, and half a time. | 14 Two 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, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. | 14 And there were given to the woman the two wings of the great eagle, that she might fly into the desert into her place, where she is nourished there a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. | 15 And the serpent poured water like a river out of his mouth after the woman, so that he might cause her to be swept away with the flood. | 15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood. | 15 The snake's mouth poured out a river of water behind the woman in order to sweep her away. | 15 The 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. | 15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth behind the woman water as a river, that he might make her be as one carried away by a river. | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 16 But the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and drank up the river which the dragon poured out of his mouth. | 16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth. | 16 The earth helped the woman by opening its mouth and swallowing the river which had poured out of the serpent's mouth. | 16 The earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the river which the dragon spewed out of his mouth. | 16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed the river which the dragon cast out of his mouth. | 17 So the dragon was enraged with the woman, and went off to make war with the rest of her children, who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus. | 17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. | 17 The serpent became angry with the woman. So it went away to fight with her other children, the ones who keep God's commands and hold on to the testimony of Jesus. (18) The serpent stood on the sandy shore of the sea. | 17 The dragon grew angry with the woman, and went away to make war with the rest of her seed, who keep God's commandments and hold Jesus' testimony. | 17 And the dragon was angry with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, who keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus. |
