Strong's King James
(2) The wild-beast that I saw was like a leopard, his feet like a bear and his mouth like the lion's mouth. The dragon gave him his power, his throne and great authority.
The F.O.G
[2] This beast resembled a leopard, but had feet like a bear and a mouth like a lion—combining the predatory characteristics of Daniel's ancient vision of empires. The dragon gave this beast his power, throne, and vast authority, showing how Satan works through human political systems to oppose God.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
and the beast that I saw was like to a leopard, and its feet as of a bear, and its mouth as the mouth of a lion, and the dragon did give to it his power, and his throne, and great authority.
