7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels [going forth] to war with the dragon; and the dragon warred and his angels;
And there came war in Heaven: Michael and his messengers warred against the dragon, and the dragon and his messengers warred,
8 And they prevailed not, neither was their place found any more in heaven.
and they did not prevail, nor was their place found anymore in Heaven;
9 And the great dragon was cast down, the old serpent, he that is called the Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world; he was cast down to the earth, and his angels were cast down with him.

12 Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe for the earth and for the sea: because the devil is gone down unto you, having great wrath, knowing that he hath but a short time.
because of this be glad, you heavens, and those who dwell in them; woe to those inhabiting the earth and the sea, because the Devil went down to you, having great wrath, having known that he has [a] short time.”
13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast down to the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man [child].
And when the dragon saw that he was cast forth to the earth, he pursued the woman who brought forth the male,
