Wahyu 12:16

12:16 but ¹  the earth came to her rescue; ²  the ground opened up ³  and swallowed the river that the dragon had spewed from his mouth.

[12:16]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present here.

[12:16]  ² tn Grk “the earth helped the woman.”

[12:16]  ³ tn Grk “the earth opened its mouth” (a metaphor for the ground splitting open).
