13 When the dragon realized that he had been thrown down to the earth, he began to pursue the woman who had given birth to the boy.
14 She was given the two wings of a large eagle in order to fly to her place in the desert, where she will be taken care of for three and a half years, safe from the dragon's attack.
15 And then from his mouth the dragon poured out a flood of water after the woman, so that it would carry her away.
16 But the earth helped the woman; it opened its mouth and swallowed the water that had come from the dragon's mouth.
17 The dragon was furious with the woman and went off to fight against the rest of her descendants, all those who obey God's commandments and are faithful to the truth revealed by Jesus.
18 And the dragon stood on the seashore.
