Revelation 12:3-13:2
Then I witnessed in heaven another significant event. I saw a large red dragon with seven heads and ten horns, with seven crowns on his heads.His tail swept away one third of the stars in the sky, and he threw them to the earth. He stood in front of the woman as she was about to give birth, ready to devour her baby as soon as it was born.She gave birth to a son who was to rule all nations with an iron rod. And her child was snatched away from the dragon and was caught up to God and to his throne.And the woman fled into the wilderness, where God had prepared a place to care for her for 1,260 days.Then there was war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon and his angels.And the dragon lost the battle, and he and his angels were forced out of heaven.This great dragon— the ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, the one deceiving the whole world— was thrown down to the earth with all his angels.Then I heard a loud voice shouting across the heavens,“ It has come at last— salvation and power and the Kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ. For the accuser of our brothers and sisters has been thrown down to earth— the one who accuses them before our God day and night.And they have defeated him by the blood of the Lamb and by their testimony. And they did not love their lives so much that they were afraid to die.Therefore, rejoice, O heavens! And you who live in the heavens, rejoice! But terror will come on the earth and the sea, for the devil has come down to you in great anger, knowing that he has little time.”When the dragon realized that he had been thrown down to the earth, he pursued the woman who had given birth to the male child.But she was given two wings like those of a great eagle so she could fly to the place prepared for her in the wilderness. There she would be cared for and protected from the dragon for a time, times, and half a time.Then the dragon tried to drown the woman with a flood of water that flowed from his mouth.But the earth helped her by opening its mouth and swallowing the river that gushed out from the mouth of the dragon.And the dragon was angry at the woman and declared war against the rest of her children— all who keep God’s commandments and maintain their testimony for Jesus.Then the dragon took his stand on the shore beside the sea.Then I saw a beast rising up out of the sea. It had seven heads and ten horns, with ten crowns on its horns. And written on each head were names that blasphemed God.This beast looked like a leopard, but it had the feet of a bear and the mouth of a lion! And the dragon gave the beast his own power and throne and great authority.

Job 12:1-25
Then Job spoke again:“ You people really know everything, don’t you? And when you die, wisdom will die with you!Well, I know a few things myself— and you’re no better than I am. Who doesn’t know these things you’ve been saying?Yet my friends laugh at me, for I call on God and expect an answer. I am a just and blameless man, yet they laugh at me.People who are at ease mock those in trouble. They give a push to people who are stumbling.But robbers are left in peace, and those who provoke God live in safety— though God keeps them in his power.“ Just ask the animals, and they will teach you. Ask the birds of the sky, and they will tell you.Speak to the earth, and it will instruct you. Let the fish in the sea speak to you.For they all know that my disaster has come from the hand of the Lord.For the life of every living thing is in his hand, and the breath of every human being.The ear tests the words it hears just as the mouth distinguishes between foods.Wisdom belongs to the aged, and understanding to the old.“ But true wisdom and power are found in God; counsel and understanding are his.What he destroys cannot be rebuilt. When he puts someone in prison, there is no escape.If he holds back the rain, the earth becomes a desert. If he releases the waters, they flood the earth.Yes, strength and wisdom are his; deceivers and deceived are both in his power.He leads counselors away, stripped of good judgment; wise judges become fools.He removes the royal robe of kings. They are led away with ropes around their waist.He leads priests away, stripped of status; he overthrows those with long years in power.He silences the trusted adviser and removes the insight of the elders.He pours disgrace upon princes and disarms the strong.“ He uncovers mysteries hidden in darkness; he brings light to the deepest gloom.He builds up nations, and he destroys them. He expands nations, and he abandons them.He strips kings of understanding and leaves them wandering in a pathless wasteland.They grope in the darkness without a light. He makes them stagger like drunkards.

Ezekiel 32:2-5
“ Son of man, mourn for Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and give him this message:“ You think of yourself as a strong young lion among the nations, but you are really just a sea monster, heaving around in your own rivers, stirring up mud with your feet.Therefore, this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will send many people to catch you in my net and haul you out of the water.I will leave you stranded on the land to die. All the birds of the heavens will land on you, and the wild animals of the whole earth will gorge themselves on you.I will scatter your flesh on the hills and fill the valleys with your bones.
