Revelation 12:3-4

12:3 Then ¹  another sign appeared in heaven: a huge red dragon that had seven heads and ten horns, and on its heads were seven diadem crowns. ²  12:4 Now ³  the dragon’s ⁴  tail swept away a third of the stars in heaven and hurled them to the earth. Then ⁵  the dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that he might devour her child as soon as it was born.
