Revelation 12:15

The serpent spewed water like a river from his mouth in the direction of the woman, in order that the water might sweep her away.

Translation for Translators

In The King James Version

And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.

In Context

14But the woman was given two wings like the wings of a very large eagle, in order that she might fly to a desolate place. That is a place that God has prepared for her. There she was taken care of { God’s angels took care of her} for three and a half years. The serpent, that is, the dragon, was not able to reach her there.

16But the ground helped the woman by opening up and swallowing the river that the dragon spewed out from his mouth!
