10我聽見在天上有大聲音說:「我 神的救恩、能力、國度,並他基督的權柄,現在都來到了!因為那在我們 神面前晝夜控告我們弟兄的,已經被摔下去了。
11弟兄勝過牠,是因羔羊的血和自己所見證的道。他們雖至於死,也不愛惜性命。
12所以,諸天和住在其中的,你們都快樂吧!只是地與海有禍了!因為魔鬼知道自己的時候不多,就氣忿忿地下到你們那裡去了。」

13龍見自己被摔在地上,就逼迫那生男孩子的婦人。
14於是有大鷹的兩個翅膀賜給婦人,叫她能飛到曠野,到自己的地方,躲避那蛇;她在那裡被養活一載二載半載。
15蛇就在婦人身後,從口中吐出水來,像河一樣,要將婦人沖去。
16地卻幫助婦人,開口吞了從龍口吐出來的水(原文是河)。
