And{G2532} he exerciseth{G4160}{(G5719)} all{G3956} the power{G1849} of the first{G4413} beast{G2342} before{G1799} him{G846}, and{G2532} causeth{G4160}{(G5719)} the earth{G1093} and{G2532} them which dwell{G2730}{(G5723)} therein{G1722}{G846} to{G2443} worship{G4352}{(G5661)} the first{G4413} beast{G2342}, whose{G3739}{G846} deadly{G2288} wound{G4127} was healed{G2323}{(G5681)}.
KJV with Strongs
(12) The authority of the first wild-beast, everything he does in his sight, making the land and those residing in it to worship the first and foremost wild-beast whose fatal wound was healed.
The F.O.G
[12] This second beast exercised all the authority of the first beast on its behalf, compelling earth's inhabitants to worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed. False religion serves political power by demanding its worship.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
and all the authority of the first beast doth it do before it, and it maketh the land and those dwelling in it that they shall bow before the first beast, whose deadly stroke was healed,
Young's Literal Translation (YLT)
