Exegesis
The following coordinated question kai tis dynatai polemēsai met’ autou {καὶ τίς δύναται πολεμῆσαι μετʼ αὐτοῦ | kai tís dýnatai polemêsai met' autoû} combines the present dynatai with the aorist infinitive polemēsai to stress current capability to engage in decisive warfare. The preposition met’ with the genitive autou portrays conflict “with him” as direct opposition. In translation, the parallel clauses and repeated worship verb are retained to highlight misplaced devotion, while the paired questions are preserved as direct speech to maintain the rhetorical force and escalating admiration of the beast’s unrivaled power in the narrative.
Root and etymology
meta + opsmu–epsilon–tau–alpha; omega–psi

In context — Revelation 13:4
And they worshiped the dragon , because he gave the authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast, and who is able to wage war with him?”
