7 There was war in the sky. Mikael and his angels made war on the serpent. The serpent and his angels made war.
Then war broke out in heaven; Michael and his angels fought against the dragon. And the dragon fought back, along with his angels.
8 They did not prevail, neither was a place found for them any more in heaven.
But he did not prevail, and there was no longer any place found for him in heaven.
9 The great serpent was thrown down, the ancient serpent, he who is called the devil and Satana, the deceiver of the whole world. He was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.

12 Therefore rejoice, heavens, and you who dwell in them. Woe to the land and the sea, because the devil has gone down to you, having great wrath, knowing that he has but a short time."
Therefore rejoice, O heavens and you who dwell in them! But woe to the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you with great wrath, because he knows that his time is short.”
13 When the serpent saw that he was thrown down to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male child.
When the dragon saw that he had been thrown down to the earth, he pursued the woman who had given birth to the male child.
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.
But the woman was given two wings like those of a great eagle so that she could fly away from the presence of the serpent to her place in the wilderness, to be nourished there for a time, times, and half a time.
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.
Then out of his mouth the serpent spewed water like a river after the woman, to sweep her away with a flood.
16 The earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the river which the serpent spewed out of his mouth.
But the earth helped the woman by opening its mouth and swallowing the river that the dragon had spewed out of his mouth.
17 The serpent grew angry with the woman, and went away to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep God's commandments and hold to the testimony of Yeshua.
So the dragon was angry with the woman and went off to wage war against the rest of her offspring, those who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus.
