Revelation
Revelation 12:12–13
12Therefore rejoice, O heavens,
and you who dwell in them!
But woe to the earth and the sea;
with great fury the devil has come down to you,
knowing he has only a short time.”
13And when the dragon saw that he had been thrown to the earth, he pursued the woman who had given birth to the male child.
