1 # And in the second <08147> year <08141> of the reign <04438> of Nebuchadnezzar <05019> Nebuchadnezzar <05019> dreamed <02492> (8804) dreams <02472>, wherewith his spirit <07307> was troubled <06470> (8691), and his sleep <08142> brake <01961> (8738) from him.
2 Then the king <04428> commanded <0559> (8799) to call <07121> (8800) the magicians <02748>, and the astrologers <0825>, and the sorcerers <03784> (8764), and the Chaldeans <03778>, for to shew <05046> (8687) the king <04428> his dreams <02472>. So they came <0935> (8799) and stood <05975> (8799) before <06440> the king <04428> .
3 And the king <04428> said <0559> (8799) unto them, I have dreamed <02492> (8804) a dream <02472>, and my spirit <07307> was troubled <06470> (8735) to know <03045> (8800) the dream <02472>.
4 Then spake <01696> (8762) the Chaldeans <03778> to the king <04428> in Syriack <0762>, O king <04430> , live <02418> (8747) for ever <05957>: tell <0560> (8747) thy servants <05649> the dream <02493>, and we will shew <02324> (8741) the interpretation <06591>.
5 The king <04430> answered <06032> (8750) and said <0560> (8750) to the Chaldeans <03779>, The thing <04406> is gone <0230> (8754) from me <04481>: if <02006> ye will not <03809> make known <03046> (8681) unto me the dream <02493>, with the interpretation <06591> thereof, ye shall be cut <05648> (8725) in pieces <01917>, and your houses <01005> shall be made <07761> (8725) a dunghill <05122>.
6 But if <02006> ye shew <02324> (8681) the dream <02493>, and the interpretation <06591> thereof, ye shall receive <06902> (8741) of <04481> me <06925> gifts <04978> and rewards <05023> and great <07690> honour <03367> : therefore <03861> shew <02324> (8680) me the dream <02493>, and the interpretation <06591> thereof.
7 They answered <06032> (8754) again <08579> and said <0560> (8750), Let the king <04430> tell <0560> (8748) his servants <05649> the dream <02493>, and we will shew <02324> (8681) the interpretation <06591> of it.
8 The king <04430> answered <06032> (8750) and said <0560> (8750), I <0576> know <03046> (8751) of <04481> certainty <03330> that ye <0608> would gain <02084> (8750) the time <05732>, because <06903> <03606> ye see <02370> (8754) the thing <04406> is gone <0230> (8754) from <04481> me.
9 But if <02006> ye will not <03809> make known <03046> (8681) unto me the dream <02493>, there is but one <01932> <02298> decree <01882> for you: for ye have prepared <02164> (8724) lying <03538> and corrupt <07844> (8752) words <04406> to speak <0560> (8749) before <06925> me, till <05705> the time <05732> be changed <08133> (8721): therefore <03861> tell <0560> (8747) me the dream <02493>, and I shall know <03046> (8748) that <01768> ye can shew <02324> (8681) me the interpretation <06591> thereof.
10 The Chaldeans <03779> answered <06032> (8754) before <06925> the king <04430>, and said <0560> (8750), There is <0383> not <03809> a man <0606> upon <05922> the earth <03007> that can <03202> (8748) shew <02324> (8682) the king's <04430> matter <04406>: therefore <06903> <01768> there is no <03809> king <04430>, lord <07229>, nor ruler <07990>, that asked <07593> (8754) such <01836> things <04406> at any <03606> magician <02749>, or astrologer <0826>, or Chaldean <03779>.
11 And it is a rare <03358> thing <04406> that the king <04430> requireth <07593> (8751), and there is <0383> none <03809> other <0321> that can shew <02324> (8741) it before <06925> the king <04430>, except <03861> the gods <0426>, whose dwelling <04070> is <0383> not <03809> with <05974> flesh <01321>.
12 For <06903> this <01836> cause <03606> the king <04430> was angry <01149> (8754) and very <07690> furious <07108> (8754), and commanded <0560> (8754) to destroy <07> (8682) all <03606> the wise <02445> men of Babylon <0895>.
13 And the decree <01882> went forth <05312> (8754) that the wise <02445> men should be slain <06992> (8726); and they sought <01156> (8754) Daniel <01841> and his fellows <02269> to be slain <06992> (8723).
14 # Then <0116> Daniel <01841> answered <08421> (8684) with counsel <05843> and wisdom <02942> to Arioch <0746> the captain <07229> of <01768> the king's <04430> guard <02877>, which was gone forth <05312> (8754) to slay <06992> (8742) the wise <02445> men of Babylon <0895>:
15 He answered <06032> (8750) and said <0560> (8750) to Arioch <0746> the king's <04430> captain <07990>, Why <04101> <05922> is the decree <01882> so hasty <02685> (8683) from <04481> <06925> the king <04430>? Then <0116> Arioch <0746> made the thing <04406> known <03046> (8684) to Daniel <01841>.
16 Then Daniel <01841> went in <05954> (8754), and desired <01156> (8754) of <04481> the king <04430> that he would give <05415> (8748) him time <02166>, and that he would shew <02324> (8682) the king <04430> the interpretation <06591>.
17 Then <0116> Daniel <01841> went <0236> (8754) to his house <01005>, and made the thing <04406> known <03046> (8684) to Hananiah <02608>, Mishael <04333>, and Azariah <05839>, his companions <02269>:
18 That they would desire <01156> (8749) mercies <07359> of <04481> <06925> the God <0426> of heaven <08065> concerning <05922> this <01836> secret <07328>; that Daniel <01841> and his fellows <02269> should not <03809> perish <07> (8681) with <05974> the rest <07606> of the wise <02445> men of Babylon <0895>.
19 Then <0116> was the secret <07328> revealed <01541> (8752) unto Daniel <01841> in a night <03916> vision <02376>. Then <0116> Daniel <01841> blessed <01289> (8745) the God <0426> of heaven <08065>.
20 Daniel <01841> answered <06032> (8750) and said <0560> (8750), Blessed <01289> (8743) be <01934> (8748) the name <08036> of God <0426> for <04481> ever <05957> and ever <05705> <05957>: for wisdom <02452> and might <01370> are <01932> his:
21 And he changeth <08133> (8683) the times <05732> and the seasons <02166>: he removeth <05709> (8683) kings <04430>, and setteth up <06966> (8683) kings <04430>: he giveth <03052> (8751) wisdom <02452> unto the wise <02445>, and knowledge <04486> to them that know <03046> (8751) understanding <0999>:
22 He revealeth <01541> (8751) the deep <05994> and secret things <05642> (8743): he knoweth <03046> (8751) what <04101> is in the darkness <02816>, and the light <05094> dwelleth <08271> (8754) with him <05974> .
23 I <0576> thank <03029> (8683) thee, and praise <07624> (8743) thee, O thou God <0426> of my fathers <02>, who hast given <03052> (8754) me wisdom <02452> and might <01370>, and hast made known <03046> (8684) unto me now <03705> what we desired <01156> (8754) of thee <04481>: for thou hast now made known <03046> (8684) unto us the king's <04430> matter <04406>.
24 # Therefore <03606> <06903> <01836> Daniel <01841> went in <05954> (8754) unto <05922> Arioch <0746>, whom the king <04430> had ordained <04483> (8745) to destroy <07> (8682) the wise <02445> men of Babylon <0895>: he went <0236> (8754) and said <0560> (8754) thus <03652> unto him; Destroy <07> (8681) not <0409> the wise <02445> men of Babylon <0895>: bring me in <05954> (8680) before <06925> the king <04430>, and I will shew <02324> (8741) unto the king <04430> the interpretation <06591>.
25 Then <0116> Arioch <0746> brought in <05954> (8684) Daniel <01841> before <06925> the king <04430> in haste <0927> (8726), and said <0560> (8754) thus <03652> unto him, I have found <07912> (8684) a man <01400> of the captives <01123> <01547> of <04481> Judah <03061>, that will make known <03046> (8681) unto the king <04430> the interpretation <06591>.
26 The king <04430> answered <06032> (8750) and said <0560> (8750) to Daniel <01841>, whose name <08036> was Belteshazzar <01096>, Art <0383> thou able <03546> (8751) to make known <03046> (8682) unto me the dream <02493> which I have seen <02370> (8754), and the interpretation <06591> thereof?
27 Daniel <01841> answered <06032> (8750) in the presence <06925> of the king <04430>, and said <0560> (8750), The secret <07328> which the king <04430> hath demanded <07593> (8751) cannot <03202> (8750) <03809> the wise <02445> men, the astrologers <0826>, the magicians <02749>, the soothsayers <01505> (8750), shew <02324> (8682) unto the king <04430>;
28 But <01297> there is <0383> a God <0426> in heaven <08065> that revealeth <01541> (8751) secrets <07328>, and maketh known <03046> (8684) to the king <04430> Nebuchadnezzar <05020> what <04101> shall be <01934> (8748) in the latter <0320> days <03118>. Thy dream <02493>, and the visions <02376> of thy head <07217> upon <05922> thy bed <04903>, are these <01836>;
29 As for thee <0607>, O king <04430>, thy thoughts <07476> came <05559> (8760) into thy mind upon <05922> thy bed <04903>, what <04101> should come to pass <01934> (8748) hereafter <0311> <01836>: and he that revealeth <01541> (8751) secrets <07328> maketh known <03046> (8684) to thee what <04101> shall come to pass <01934> (8748).
30 But as for me <0576>, this <01836> secret <07328> is not <03809> revealed <01541> (8752) to me for any wisdom <02452> that I have <0383> more than <04481> any <03606> living <02417>, but <03861> for their sakes <01701> that <05922> shall make known <03046> (8681) the interpretation <06591> to the king <04430>, and that thou mightest know <03046> (8748) the thoughts <07476> of thy heart <03825>.
31 # Thou <0607>, O king <04430>, sawest <01934> (8754) <02370> (8751), and behold <0431> a great <02298> <07690> image <06755>. This <01797> great <07229> image <06755>, whose brightness <02122> was excellent <03493>, stood <06966> (8750) before <06903> thee; and the form <07299> thereof was terrible <01763> (8753).
32 This image's <06755> head <07217> was of fine <02869> gold <01722>, his breast <02306> and his arms <01872> of silver <03702>, his belly <04577> and his thighs <03410> of brass <05174>,
33 His legs <08243> of iron <06523>, his feet <07271> part <04481> of iron <06523> and part <04481> of clay <02635>.
34 Thou sawest <02370> (8751) <01934> (8754) till <05705> that a stone <069> was cut out <01505> (8728) without <03809> hands <03028>, which smote <04223> (8754) the image <06755> upon <05922> his feet <07271> that were of iron <06523> and clay <02635>, and brake <01855> <00> them <01994> to pieces <01855> (8684).
35 Then <0116> was the iron <06523>, the clay <02635>, the brass <05174>, the silver <03702>, and the gold <01722>, broken to pieces <01855> (8754) (8676) <01751> (8754) together <02298>, and became <01934> (8754) like the chaff <05784> of <04481> the summer <07007> threshingfloors <0147>; and the wind <07308> carried <05376> <00> them <01994> away <05376> (8754), that <03606> no <03809> place <0870> was found <07912> (8728) for them: and the stone <069> that smote <04223> (8754) the image <06755> became <01934> (8754) a great <07229> mountain <02906>, and filled <04391> (8754) the whole <03606> earth <0772>.
36 This <01836> is the dream <02493>; and we will tell <0560> (8748) the interpretation <06591> thereof before <06925> the king <04430>.
37 Thou <0607>, O king <04430>, art a king <04430> of kings <04430>: for the God <0426> of heaven <08065> hath given <03052> (8754) thee a kingdom <04437>, power <02632>, and strength <08632>, and glory <03367>.
38 And wheresoever <03606> the children <01123> of men <0606> dwell <01753> (8748), the beasts <02423> of the field <01251> and the fowls <05776> of the heaven <08065> hath he given <03052> (8754) into thine hand <03028>, and hath made thee ruler <07981> (8684) over them all <03606>. Thou <0607> art this head <07217> of gold <01722>.
39 And after <0870> thee shall arise <06966> (8748) another <0317> kingdom <04437> inferior <0772> to thee <04481>, and another <0317> third <08523> kingdom <04437> of brass <05174>, which shall bear rule <07981> (8748) over all <03606> the earth <0772>.
40 And the fourth <07244> kingdom <04437> shall be <01934> (8748) strong <08624> as iron <06523>: forasmuch as iron <06523> breaketh in pieces <01855> (8683) and subdueth <02827> (8751) all <03606> things: and as <06903> iron <06523> that breaketh <07490> (8750) all <03606> these <0459>, shall it break in pieces <01855> (8681) and bruise <07490> (8748).
41 And whereas thou sawest <02370> (8754) the feet <07271> and toes <0677>, part <04481> of potters <06353> ' clay <02635>, and part <04481> of iron <06523>, the kingdom <04437> shall be <01934> (8748) divided <06386> (8752); but <04481> <00> there shall be <01934> (8748) in it of <04481> the strength <05326> of the iron <06523>, forasmuch as <03606> <06903> thou sawest <02370> (8754) the iron <06523> mixed <06151> (8743) with miry <02917> clay <02635>.
42 And as the toes <0677> of the feet <07271> were part <04481> of iron <06523>, and part <04481> of clay <02635>, so the kingdom <04437> shall be <01934> (8748) partly <04481> <07118> strong <08624>, and partly <04481> <07118> broken <08406> (8750).
43 And whereas <01768> thou sawest <02370> (8754) iron <06523> mixed <06151> (8743) with miry <02917> clay <02635>, they shall mingle themselves <01934> (8748) <06151> (8723) with the seed <02234> of men <0606> : but they shall <01934> (8748) not <03809> cleave <01693> (8751) one <01836> to <05974> another <01836> , even <01888> as iron <06523> is not <03809> mixed <06151> (8723) with clay <02635>.
44 And in the days <03118> of these <0581> kings <04430> shall the God <0426> of heaven <08065> set up <06966> (8681) a kingdom <04437>, which shall never <05957> <03809> be destroyed <02255> (8721): and the kingdom <04437> shall not <03809> be left <07662> (8721) to other <0321> people <05972>, but it shall break in pieces <01855> (8681) and consume <05487> (8681) all <03606> these <0459> kingdoms <04437>, and it <01932> shall stand <06966> (8748) for ever <05957>.
45 Forasmuch as <03606> <06903> thou sawest <02370> (8754) that the stone <069> was cut out <01505> (8728) of the mountain <02906> without <03809> hands <03028>, and that it brake in pieces <01855> (8684) the iron <06523> , the brass <05174>, the clay <02635>, the silver <03702>, and the gold <01722>; the great <07229> God <0426> hath made known <03046> (8684) to the king <04430> what <04101> shall come to pass <01934> (8748) hereafter <0311> <01836> : and the dream <02493> is certain <03330>, and t
