Daniel

Chapter 2

1 AND in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar dreamed a dream and his spirit was troub1ed and his sleep departed from him.

2 Then the king commanded to call the magicians and the astrologers and the sorcerers and the Chaldeans to show the king his dream. So they came and stood before the king.

3 And the king said to them, I have dreamed a dream, and my spirit is troubled to know the dream.

4 Then spoke the Chaldeans before the king in Aramaic, saying, O king, live for ever; tell your servants the dream, and we will show the interpretation.

5 The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, The word that I have spoken is true; if you do not make known to me the dream and its interpretation, you shall be cut in pieces and your houses shall be plundered.

6 But if you show me the dream and its interpretation, you shall receive from me gifts and wealth and great honor; only show me the dream and its interpretation.

7 They answered again and said, Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will show its interpretation.

8 The king answered and said, Truly I know that what you want is time, because you see that my word is true.

9 But if you will not make known to me the dream, there is but one sentence for you; for you have prepared lying words and falsehoods to speak before me, to gain time; therefore tell me the dream, so that I shall know that you can show me its interpretation.

10 The Chaldeans answered before the king and said, There is not a man upon the earth who can reveal what the king asks; neither has any great king or ruler ever asked such a thing of any magician or astrologer or Chaldean.

11 For the thing that the king is asking is very difficult, and there is no man who can show it before the king except the gods, whose dwelling is not with men born of flesh.

12 Then the king was exceedingly furious, and he commanded angrily that all the wise men of Babylon should be destroyed.

13 And the decree went forth that the wise men should be slain; and guards sought Daniel and his companions to slay them.

14 Then Daniel meditated and took counsel, and then said to Arioch the commander of the king's guardsmen, who had gone out to slay the wise men of Babylon,

15 Why is this decree from the king so urgent? Then Arioch made the thing known to Daniel.

16 Then Daniel desired of the king to give him time, and promised that he would show the king the interpretation.

17 Then Daniel went to his house and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions,

18 That they might ask mercy before the God of heaven concerning the mystery, so that Daniel and his companions might not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.

19 Then was the mystery, revealed to Daniel in a night vision. And Daniel blessed the God of heaven.

20 Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever; for wisdom and might belong to him;

21 And he changes seasons and times; he removes kings and sets up kings; he gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to them who know understanding;

22 He reveals the deep and secret things; he knows what is in the darkness, and the light is with him.

23 To thee, O God of my fathers, I give thanks, and I praise thee, who hast given me wisdom and might, and hast now made known to me what we desired of thee; for thou hast made known to us the king's matter.

24 And in that very hour Daniel went to Arioch, whom the king had ordered to destroy the wise men of Babylon; he went and spoke thus to him: Destroy not the wise men of Babylon; but bring me in before the king and I will show the king the interpretation.

25 Then Arioch brought Daniel in before the king in haste, and spoke thus to him: I have found a man of the captives of Judah who will make known to the king the interpretation.

26 The king answered and said to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, Are you able to make known to me the dream which I have seen, and its interpretation?

27 Daniel answered in the presence of the king, and said, The mystery which the king has demanded to know, can no wise men, sorcerers, nor the magicians, nor the astrologers reveal to the king;

28 But there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries, who has made known to the King Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. Your dream and the vision of your head upon your bed are these;

29 As for you, O king, your thoughts came into your mind concerning what shall come to pass hereafter; and he who reveals mysteries has made known to you what shall come to pass.

30 But as for me, this mystery is not revealed to me on account of any wisdom that I have more than any living person, but for the sake of the interpretation, that it might be known to the king and that you may know the thoughts of your heart.

31 You, O king, were looking, and behold, a great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before you; and its appearance was terrible.

32 This image's head was of fine gold, its breast and arms of silver, its belly and its thighs of brass,

33 Its legs of iron, its feet part of iron and part of clay.

34 Then you saw that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon its feet that were of iron and clay, and broke them to pieces.

35 Then the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold were all broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors; and a strong wind carried them away so that no place was found for them; and the stone that struck the image became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.

36 This is the dream; now I will tell its interpretation before the king.

37 You, O king, are a king of kings; for the God of heaven has given you a mighty kingdom and honor.

38 And every country in which men dwell, the fowls of the air and the beasts of the field, he has placed under your authority, and has made you ruler over them all. You are the head of gold.

39 And after you shall arise another kingdom inferior to you, and a third kingdom of brass, which shall rule over all the earth.

40 And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron; for just as iron hammers and breaks everything in pieces, so shall it break and conquer every kingdom.

41 And whereas you saw the feet and toes, part of potter's clay and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it some of the strength of iron, just as you saw the iron mixed with miry clay.

42 And as for the toes of the feet which you saw, part of iron and part of clay, so some parts of the kingdom shall be strong and some parts weak.

43 And whereas you saw iron mixed with miry clay, so they shall mix themselves with one another in marriage; but they shall not cleave one to another, just as iron does not mix with clay.

44 And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up an everlasting kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and bring to an end all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.

45 Forasmuch as you saw that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God has made known to you what shall come to pass in the latter days. The dream is true, and its interpretation is sure.

46 Then King Nebuchadnezzar fell upon his face and worshipped Daniel, and commanded that they should offer incense and sacrifices to him.

47 The king answered Daniel and said, Truly, your God is the God of gods and the LORD of kings and a revealer of mysteries, for you have been able to reveal this mystery.

48 Then the king advanced Daniel's rank and gave him a great many gifts and made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon and appointed him chief over all the generals of the armies and over all the wise men of Babylon.

49 Then Daniel requested of the king, and he appointed Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego over the affairs of the province of Babylon; but Daniel himself remained in the king's gate.

Daniel

Chapter 2

1 And in the second8147 year8141 of the reign4438 of Nebuchadnezzar5019 Nebuchadnezzar5019 dreamed2492 dreams,2472 with which his spirit7307 was troubled,6470 and his sleep8142 broke1961 from him.

2 Then the king4428 commanded559 to call7121 the magicians,2748 and the astrologers,825 and the sorcerers,3784 and the Chaldeans,3779 for to show5046 the king4428 his dreams.2472 So they came935 and stood5975 before6440 the king.4428

3 And the king4428 said559 to them, I have dreamed2492 a dream,2472 and my spirit7307 was troubled6470 to know3045 the dream.2472

4 Then spoke1696 the Chaldeans3779 to the king4428 in Syriack,762 O king,4430 live2418 for ever:5957 tell560 your servants5649 the dream,2493 and we will show2324 the interpretation.6591

5 The king4430 answered6032 and said560 to the Chaldeans,3779 The thing4406 is gone230 from me: if2006 you will not make known3046 to me the dream,2493 with the interpretation6591 thereof, you shall be cut5648 in pieces,1917 and your houses1005 shall be made7761 a dunghill.5122

6 But if2006 you show2324 the dream,2493 and the interpretation6591 thereof, you shall receive6902 of me gifts4978 and rewards5023 and great7690 honor:3367 therefore2006 show2324 me the dream,2493 and the interpretation6591 thereof.

7 They answered6032 again8579 and said,560 Let the king4430 tell560 his servants5649 the dream,2493 and we will show2324 the interpretation6591 of it.

8 The king4430 answered6032 and said,560 I know3046 of certainty3330 that you would gain2084 the time,5732 because3606 you see2370 the thing4406 is gone230 from me.

9 But if2006 you will not make known3046 to me the dream,2493 there is but one2298 decree1882 for you: for you have prepared2164 lying3538 and corrupt7844 words4406 to speak560 before6925 me, till5704 the time5732 be changed:8133 therefore2006 tell560 me the dream,2493 and I shall know3046 that you can show2324 me the interpretation6591 thereof.

10 The Chaldeans3779 answered6032 before6925 the king,4430 and said,560 There is not a man606 on the earth3007 that can3202 show2324 the king's4430 matter:4406 therefore3606 there is no3606 3809 king,4430 lord,7229 nor ruler,7990 that asked7593 such1836 things at any3606 magician,2749 or astrologer,826 or Chaldean.3777

11 And it is a rare3358 thing4406 that the king4430 requires,7593 and there is none3809 other321 that can show2324 it before6925 the king,4430 except3861 the gods,426 whose1768 dwelling4070 is not with flesh.1321

12 For this1836 cause3606 the king4430 was angry1149 and very7690 furious,7108 and commanded560 to destroy7 all3606 the wise2445 men of Babylon.895

13 And the decree1882 went5312 forth5312 that the wise2445 men should be slain;6992 and they sought1158 Daniel1841 and his fellows2269 to be slain.6992

14 Then116 Daniel1841 answered8421 with counsel5843 and wisdom2942 to Arioch746 the captain7229 of the king's4430 guard,2877 which1768 was gone5312 forth5312 to slay6992 the wise2445 men of Babylon:895

15 He answered6032 and said560 to Arioch746 the king's4430 captain,7990 Why5922 4101 is the decree1882 so hasty2685 from the king?4430 Then116 Arioch746 made the thing4406 known3046 to Daniel.1841

16 Then Daniel1841 went5954 in, and desired1156 of the king4430 that he would give5415 him time,2166 and that he would show2324 the king4430 the interpretation.6591

17 Then116 Daniel1841 went236 to his house,1005 and made the thing4406 known3046 to Hananiah,2608 Mishael,4332 and Azariah,5839 his companions:2269

18 That they would desire1156 mercies7359 of the God426 of heaven8065 concerning5922 this1836 secret;7328 that Daniel1841 and his fellows2269 should not perish7 with the rest7606 of the wise2445 men of Babylon.895

19 Then116 was the secret7328 revealed1541 to Daniel1841 in a night3916 vision.2376 Then116 Daniel1841 blessed1289 the God426 of heaven.8065

20 Daniel1841 answered6032 and said,560 Blessed1289 be the name8036 of God426 for ever5957 and ever:5957 for wisdom2452 and might1370 are his:

21 And he changes8133 the times5732 and the seasons:2166 he removes5709 kings,4430 and sets6966 up kings:4430 he gives3052 wisdom2452 to the wise,2445 and knowledge998 to them that know3046 understanding:999

22 He reveals1541 the deep5994 and secret5642 things: he knows3046 what4101 is in the darkness,2816 and the light5094 dwells8271 with him.

23 I thank3029 you, and praise7624 you, O you God426 of my fathers,2 who1768 have given3052 me wisdom2452 and might,1370 and have made known3046 to me now3705 what1768 we desired1156 of you: for you have now3705 made known3046 to us the king's4430 matter.4406

24 Therefore3606 Daniel1841 went5954 in to Arioch,746 whom1768 the king4430 had ordained4483 to destroy7 the wise2445 men of Babylon:895 he went236 and said560 thus3652 to him; Destroy7 not the wise2445 men of Babylon:895 bring5924 me in before6925 the king,4430 and I will show2324 to the king4430 the interpretation.6591

25 Then116 Arioch746 brought5954 in Daniel1841 before6925 the king4430 in haste,927 and said560 thus3652 to him, I have found4672 a man1400 of the captives1123 1547 of Judah,3061 that will make known3046 to the king4430 the interpretation.6591

26 The king4430 answered6032 and said560 to Daniel,1841 whose1768 name8036 was Belteshazzar,1096 Are383 you able3546 to make known3046 to me the dream2493 which1768 I have seen,2370 and the interpretation6591 thereof?

27 Daniel1841 answered6032 in the presence6925 of the king,4430 and said,560 The secret7328 which1768 the king4430 has demanded7593 cannot3809 3202 the wise2445 men, the astrologers,826 the magicians,2749 the soothsayers,1505 show2324 to the king;4430

28 But there is a God426 in heaven8065 that reveals1541 secrets,7328 and makes known3046 to the king4430 Nebuchadnezzar5020 what4101 shall be in the latter320 days.3118 Your dream,2493 and the visions2376 of your head7217 on your bed,4903 are these;1836

29 As for you, O king,4430 your thoughts7476 came5559 into your mind on your bed,4903 what4101 should come1934 to pass hereafter:311 1836 and he that reveals1541 secrets7328 makes known3046 to you what4101 shall come1934 to pass.

30 But as for me, this1836 secret7328 is not revealed1541 to me for any wisdom2452 that I have383 more4481 than4481 any3606 living,2417 but for their sakes1701 that shall make known3046 the interpretation6591 to the king,4430 and that you might know3046 the thoughts7476 of your heart.3825

31 You, O king,4430 saw,2370 and behold431 a great7690 image.6755 This1797 great7229 image,6755 whose brightness2122 was excellent,3493 stood6966 before6903 you; and the form7299 thereof was terrible.1763

32 This1931 image's6755 head7217 was of fine2869 gold,1722 his breast2306 and his arms1872 of silver,3702 his belly4577 and his thighs3410 of brass,5174

33 His legs8243 of iron,6523 his feet7271 part4481 of iron6523 and part4481 of clay.2635

34 You saw2370 till5704 that a stone69 was cut1505 out without1768 3809 hands,3028 which smote4223 the image6755 on his feet7271 that were of iron6523 and clay,2635 and broke1855 them to pieces.

35 Then116 was the iron,6523 the clay,2635 the brass,5174 the silver,3702 and the gold,1722 broken1854 to pieces together,2298 and became1934 like the chaff5784 of the summer7007 threshing floors;147 and the wind7308 carried5376 them away, that no3606 3809 place870 was found7912 for them: and the stone69 that smote4223 the image6755 became1934 a great7229 mountain,2906 and filled4391 the whole3606 earth.772

36 This1836 is the dream;2493 and we will tell560 the interpretation6591 thereof before6925 the king.4430

37 You, O king,4430 are a king4430 of kings:4430 for the God426 of heaven8065 has given3052 you a kingdom,4437 power,2632 and strength,8632 and glory.3367

38 And wherever3606 1768 the children1123 of men606 dwell,1753 the beasts2423 of the field1251 and the fowls5776 of the heaven8065 has he given3052 into your hand,3028 and has made you ruler7981 over them all.3606 You are this1931 head7217 of gold.1722

39 And after870 you shall arise6966 another317 kingdom4437 inferior772 to you, and another317 third8523 kingdom4437 of brass,5174 which1768 shall bear7981 rule7981 over all3606 the earth.772

40 And the fourth7244 kingdom4437 shall be strong8624 as iron:6523 for as much3606 as iron6523 breaks1855 in pieces and subdues2827 all3606 things: and as iron6523 that breaks7490 all3606 these,459 shall it break1855 in pieces and bruise.7490

41 And whereas1768 you saw2370 the feet7271 and toes,677 part4481 of potters'6353 clay,2635 and part4481 of iron,6523 the kingdom4437 shall be divided;6386 but there shall be in it of the strength5326 of the iron,6523 for as much3606 as you saw2370 the iron6523 mixed6151 with miry2917 clay.2635

42 And as the toes677 of the feet7271 were part4481 of iron,6523 and part4481 of clay,2635 so the kingdom4437 shall be partly7118 strong,8624 and partly7118 broken.8406

43 And whereas1768 you saw2370 iron6523 mixed6151 with miry2917 clay,2635 they shall mingle6151 themselves with the seed2234 of men:606 but they shall not join1693 one1836 to another,1836 even1887 as iron6523 is not mixed6151 with clay.2635

44 And in the days3118 of these581 kings4430 shall the God426 of heaven8065 set6966 up a kingdom,4437 which1768 shall never5957 3809 be destroyed:2255 and the kingdom4437 shall not be left7662 to other321 people,5972 but it shall break1854 in pieces and consume5487 all3606 these459 kingdoms,4437 and it shall stand6966 for ever.5957

45 For as much3606 as you saw2370 that the stone69 was cut1505 out of the mountain2906 without1768 3809 hands,3028 and that it broke1855 in pieces the iron,6523 the brass,5174 the clay,2635 the silver,3702 and the gold;1722 the great7229 God426 has made known3046 to the king4430 what4101 shall come1934 to pass hereafter:311 1836 and the dream2493 is certain,3330 and the interpretation6591 thereof sure.546

46 Then116 the king4430 Nebuchadnezzar5020 fell5308 on his face,600 and worshipped5457 Daniel,1841 and commanded560 that they should offer5260 an oblation4541 and sweet5208 odors5208 to him.

47 The king4430 answered6032 to Daniel,1841 and said,560 Of a truth7187 it is, that your God426 is a God426 of gods,426 and a Lord4756 of kings,4430 and a revealer1541 of secrets,7328 seeing1768 you could3202 reveal1541 this1836 secret.7328

48 Then116 the king4430 made7236 Daniel1841 a great7236 man, and gave3052 him many7690 great7260 gifts,4978 and made him ruler7981 over5922 the whole3606 province4083 of Babylon,895 and chief7229 of the governors5461 over5922 all3606 the wise2445 men of Babylon.895

49 Then Daniel1841 requested1156 of the king,4430 and he set4483 Shadrach,7715 Meshach,4336 and Abednego,5665 over5922 the affairs5673 of the province4083 of Babylon:895 but Daniel1841 sat in the gate8651 of the king.4430

Chapter 2

1 AND in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar dreamed a dream and his spirit was troub1ed and his sleep departed from him.

1 And in the second8147 year8141 of the reign4438 of Nebuchadnezzar5019 Nebuchadnezzar5019 dreamed2492 dreams,2472 with which his spirit7307 was troubled,6470 and his sleep8142 broke1961 from him.

2 Then the king commanded to call the magicians and the astrologers and the sorcerers and the Chaldeans to show the king his dream. So they came and stood before the king.

2 Then the king4428 commanded559 to call7121 the magicians,2748 and the astrologers,825 and the sorcerers,3784 and the Chaldeans,3779 for to show5046 the king4428 his dreams.2472 So they came935 and stood5975 before6440 the king.4428

3 And the king said to them, I have dreamed a dream, and my spirit is troubled to know the dream.

3 And the king4428 said559 to them, I have dreamed2492 a dream,2472 and my spirit7307 was troubled6470 to know3045 the dream.2472

4 Then spoke the Chaldeans before the king in Aramaic, saying, O king, live for ever; tell your servants the dream, and we will show the interpretation.

4 Then spoke1696 the Chaldeans3779 to the king4428 in Syriack,762 O king,4430 live2418 for ever:5957 tell560 your servants5649 the dream,2493 and we will show2324 the interpretation.6591

5 The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, The word that I have spoken is true; if you do not make known to me the dream and its interpretation, you shall be cut in pieces and your houses shall be plundered.

5 The king4430 answered6032 and said560 to the Chaldeans,3779 The thing4406 is gone230 from me: if2006 you will not make known3046 to me the dream,2493 with the interpretation6591 thereof, you shall be cut5648 in pieces,1917 and your houses1005 shall be made7761 a dunghill.5122

6 But if you show me the dream and its interpretation, you shall receive from me gifts and wealth and great honor; only show me the dream and its interpretation.

6 But if2006 you show2324 the dream,2493 and the interpretation6591 thereof, you shall receive6902 of me gifts4978 and rewards5023 and great7690 honor:3367 therefore2006 show2324 me the dream,2493 and the interpretation6591 thereof.

7 They answered again and said, Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will show its interpretation.

7 They answered6032 again8579 and said,560 Let the king4430 tell560 his servants5649 the dream,2493 and we will show2324 the interpretation6591 of it.

8 The king answered and said, Truly I know that what you want is time, because you see that my word is true.

8 The king4430 answered6032 and said,560 I know3046 of certainty3330 that you would gain2084 the time,5732 because3606 you see2370 the thing4406 is gone230 from me.

9 But if you will not make known to me the dream, there is but one sentence for you; for you have prepared lying words and falsehoods to speak before me, to gain time; therefore tell me the dream, so that I shall know that you can show me its interpretation.

9 But if2006 you will not make known3046 to me the dream,2493 there is but one2298 decree1882 for you: for you have prepared2164 lying3538 and corrupt7844 words4406 to speak560 before6925 me, till5704 the time5732 be changed:8133 therefore2006 tell560 me the dream,2493 and I shall know3046 that you can show2324 me the interpretation6591 thereof.

10 The Chaldeans answered before the king and said, There is not a man upon the earth who can reveal what the king asks; neither has any great king or ruler ever asked such a thing of any magician or astrologer or Chaldean.

10 The Chaldeans3779 answered6032 before6925 the king,4430 and said,560 There is not a man606 on the earth3007 that can3202 show2324 the king's4430 matter:4406 therefore3606 there is no3606 3809 king,4430 lord,7229 nor ruler,7990 that asked7593 such1836 things at any3606 magician,2749 or astrologer,826 or Chaldean.3777

11 For the thing that the king is asking is very difficult, and there is no man who can show it before the king except the gods, whose dwelling is not with men born of flesh.

11 And it is a rare3358 thing4406 that the king4430 requires,7593 and there is none3809 other321 that can show2324 it before6925 the king,4430 except3861 the gods,426 whose1768 dwelling4070 is not with flesh.1321

12 Then the king was exceedingly furious, and he commanded angrily that all the wise men of Babylon should be destroyed.

12 For this1836 cause3606 the king4430 was angry1149 and very7690 furious,7108 and commanded560 to destroy7 all3606 the wise2445 men of Babylon.895

13 And the decree went forth that the wise men should be slain; and guards sought Daniel and his companions to slay them.

13 And the decree1882 went5312 forth5312 that the wise2445 men should be slain;6992 and they sought1158 Daniel1841 and his fellows2269 to be slain.6992

14 Then Daniel meditated and took counsel, and then said to Arioch the commander of the king's guardsmen, who had gone out to slay the wise men of Babylon,

14 Then116 Daniel1841 answered8421 with counsel5843 and wisdom2942 to Arioch746 the captain7229 of the king's4430 guard,2877 which1768 was gone5312 forth5312 to slay6992 the wise2445 men of Babylon:895

15 Why is this decree from the king so urgent? Then Arioch made the thing known to Daniel.

15 He answered6032 and said560 to Arioch746 the king's4430 captain,7990 Why5922 4101 is the decree1882 so hasty2685 from the king?4430 Then116 Arioch746 made the thing4406 known3046 to Daniel.1841

16 Then Daniel desired of the king to give him time, and promised that he would show the king the interpretation.

16 Then Daniel1841 went5954 in, and desired1156 of the king4430 that he would give5415 him time,2166 and that he would show2324 the king4430 the interpretation.6591

17 Then Daniel went to his house and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions,

17 Then116 Daniel1841 went236 to his house,1005 and made the thing4406 known3046 to Hananiah,2608 Mishael,4332 and Azariah,5839 his companions:2269

18 That they might ask mercy before the God of heaven concerning the mystery, so that Daniel and his companions might not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.

18 That they would desire1156 mercies7359 of the God426 of heaven8065 concerning5922 this1836 secret;7328 that Daniel1841 and his fellows2269 should not perish7 with the rest7606 of the wise2445 men of Babylon.895

19 Then was the mystery, revealed to Daniel in a night vision. And Daniel blessed the God of heaven.

19 Then116 was the secret7328 revealed1541 to Daniel1841 in a night3916 vision.2376 Then116 Daniel1841 blessed1289 the God426 of heaven.8065

20 Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever; for wisdom and might belong to him;

20 Daniel1841 answered6032 and said,560 Blessed1289 be the name8036 of God426 for ever5957 and ever:5957 for wisdom2452 and might1370 are his:

21 And he changes seasons and times; he removes kings and sets up kings; he gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to them who know understanding;

21 And he changes8133 the times5732 and the seasons:2166 he removes5709 kings,4430 and sets6966 up kings:4430 he gives3052 wisdom2452 to the wise,2445 and knowledge998 to them that know3046 understanding:999

22 He reveals the deep and secret things; he knows what is in the darkness, and the light is with him.

22 He reveals1541 the deep5994 and secret5642 things: he knows3046 what4101 is in the darkness,2816 and the light5094 dwells8271 with him.

23 To thee, O God of my fathers, I give thanks, and I praise thee, who hast given me wisdom and might, and hast now made known to me what we desired of thee; for thou hast made known to us the king's matter.

23 I thank3029 you, and praise7624 you, O you God426 of my fathers,2 who1768 have given3052 me wisdom2452 and might,1370 and have made known3046 to me now3705 what1768 we desired1156 of you: for you have now3705 made known3046 to us the king's4430 matter.4406

24 And in that very hour Daniel went to Arioch, whom the king had ordered to destroy the wise men of Babylon; he went and spoke thus to him: Destroy not the wise men of Babylon; but bring me in before the king and I will show the king the interpretation.

24 Therefore3606 Daniel1841 went5954 in to Arioch,746 whom1768 the king4430 had ordained4483 to destroy7 the wise2445 men of Babylon:895 he went236 and said560 thus3652 to him; Destroy7 not the wise2445 men of Babylon:895 bring5924 me in before6925 the king,4430 and I will show2324 to the king4430 the interpretation.6591

25 Then Arioch brought Daniel in before the king in haste, and spoke thus to him: I have found a man of the captives of Judah who will make known to the king the interpretation.

25 Then116 Arioch746 brought5954 in Daniel1841 before6925 the king4430 in haste,927 and said560 thus3652 to him, I have found4672 a man1400 of the captives1123 1547 of Judah,3061 that will make known3046 to the king4430 the interpretation.6591

26 The king answered and said to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, Are you able to make known to me the dream which I have seen, and its interpretation?

26 The king4430 answered6032 and said560 to Daniel,1841 whose1768 name8036 was Belteshazzar,1096 Are383 you able3546 to make known3046 to me the dream2493 which1768 I have seen,2370 and the interpretation6591 thereof?

27 Daniel answered in the presence of the king, and said, The mystery which the king has demanded to know, can no wise men, sorcerers, nor the magicians, nor the astrologers reveal to the king;

27 Daniel1841 answered6032 in the presence6925 of the king,4430 and said,560 The secret7328 which1768 the king4430 has demanded7593 cannot3809 3202 the wise2445 men, the astrologers,826 the magicians,2749 the soothsayers,1505 show2324 to the king;4430

28 But there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries, who has made known to the King Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. Your dream and the vision of your head upon your bed are these;

28 But there is a God426 in heaven8065 that reveals1541 secrets,7328 and makes known3046 to the king4430 Nebuchadnezzar5020 what4101 shall be in the latter320 days.3118 Your dream,2493 and the visions2376 of your head7217 on your bed,4903 are these;1836

29 As for you, O king, your thoughts came into your mind concerning what shall come to pass hereafter; and he who reveals mysteries has made known to you what shall come to pass.

29 As for you, O king,4430 your thoughts7476 came5559 into your mind on your bed,4903 what4101 should come1934 to pass hereafter:311 1836 and he that reveals1541 secrets7328 makes known3046 to you what4101 shall come1934 to pass.

30 But as for me, this mystery is not revealed to me on account of any wisdom that I have more than any living person, but for the sake of the interpretation, that it might be known to the king and that you may know the thoughts of your heart.

30 But as for me, this1836 secret7328 is not revealed1541 to me for any wisdom2452 that I have383 more4481 than4481 any3606 living,2417 but for their sakes1701 that shall make known3046 the interpretation6591 to the king,4430 and that you might know3046 the thoughts7476 of your heart.3825

31 You, O king, were looking, and behold, a great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before you; and its appearance was terrible.

31 You, O king,4430 saw,2370 and behold431 a great7690 image.6755 This1797 great7229 image,6755 whose brightness2122 was excellent,3493 stood6966 before6903 you; and the form7299 thereof was terrible.1763

32 This image's head was of fine gold, its breast and arms of silver, its belly and its thighs of brass,

32 This1931 image's6755 head7217 was of fine2869 gold,1722 his breast2306 and his arms1872 of silver,3702 his belly4577 and his thighs3410 of brass,5174

33 Its legs of iron, its feet part of iron and part of clay.

33 His legs8243 of iron,6523 his feet7271 part4481 of iron6523 and part4481 of clay.2635

34 Then you saw that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon its feet that were of iron and clay, and broke them to pieces.

34 You saw2370 till5704 that a stone69 was cut1505 out without1768 3809 hands,3028 which smote4223 the image6755 on his feet7271 that were of iron6523 and clay,2635 and broke1855 them to pieces.

35 Then the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold were all broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors; and a strong wind carried them away so that no place was found for them; and the stone that struck the image became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.

35 Then116 was the iron,6523 the clay,2635 the brass,5174 the silver,3702 and the gold,1722 broken1854 to pieces together,2298 and became1934 like the chaff5784 of the summer7007 threshing floors;147 and the wind7308 carried5376 them away, that no3606 3809 place870 was found7912 for them: and the stone69 that smote4223 the image6755 became1934 a great7229 mountain,2906 and filled4391 the whole3606 earth.772

36 This is the dream; now I will tell its interpretation before the king.

36 This1836 is the dream;2493 and we will tell560 the interpretation6591 thereof before6925 the king.4430

37 You, O king, are a king of kings; for the God of heaven has given you a mighty kingdom and honor.

37 You, O king,4430 are a king4430 of kings:4430 for the God426 of heaven8065 has given3052 you a kingdom,4437 power,2632 and strength,8632 and glory.3367

38 And every country in which men dwell, the fowls of the air and the beasts of the field, he has placed under your authority, and has made you ruler over them all. You are the head of gold.

38 And wherever3606 1768 the children1123 of men606 dwell,1753 the beasts2423 of the field1251 and the fowls5776 of the heaven8065 has he given3052 into your hand,3028 and has made you ruler7981 over them all.3606 You are this1931 head7217 of gold.1722

39 And after you shall arise another kingdom inferior to you, and a third kingdom of brass, which shall rule over all the earth.

39 And after870 you shall arise6966 another317 kingdom4437 inferior772 to you, and another317 third8523 kingdom4437 of brass,5174 which1768 shall bear7981 rule7981 over all3606 the earth.772

40 And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron; for just as iron hammers and breaks everything in pieces, so shall it break and conquer every kingdom.

40 And the fourth7244 kingdom4437 shall be strong8624 as iron:6523 for as much3606 as iron6523 breaks1855 in pieces and subdues2827 all3606 things: and as iron6523 that breaks7490 all3606 these,459 shall it break1855 in pieces and bruise.7490

41 And whereas you saw the feet and toes, part of potter's clay and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it some of the strength of iron, just as you saw the iron mixed with miry clay.

41 And whereas1768 you saw2370 the feet7271 and toes,677 part4481 of potters'6353 clay,2635 and part4481 of iron,6523 the kingdom4437 shall be divided;6386 but there shall be in it of the strength5326 of the iron,6523 for as much3606 as you saw2370 the iron6523 mixed6151 with miry2917 clay.2635

42 And as for the toes of the feet which you saw, part of iron and part of clay, so some parts of the kingdom shall be strong and some parts weak.

42 And as the toes677 of the feet7271 were part4481 of iron,6523 and part4481 of clay,2635 so the kingdom4437 shall be partly7118 strong,8624 and partly7118 broken.8406

43 And whereas you saw iron mixed with miry clay, so they shall mix themselves with one another in marriage; but they shall not cleave one to another, just as iron does not mix with clay.

43 And whereas1768 you saw2370 iron6523 mixed6151 with miry2917 clay,2635 they shall mingle6151 themselves with the seed2234 of men:606 but they shall not join1693 one1836 to another,1836 even1887 as iron6523 is not mixed6151 with clay.2635

44 And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up an everlasting kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and bring to an end all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.

44 And in the days3118 of these581 kings4430 shall the God426 of heaven8065 set6966 up a kingdom,4437 which1768 shall never5957 3809 be destroyed:2255 and the kingdom4437 shall not be left7662 to other321 people,5972 but it shall break1854 in pieces and consume5487 all3606 these459 kingdoms,4437 and it shall stand6966 for ever.5957

45 Forasmuch as you saw that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God has made known to you what shall come to pass in the latter days. The dream is true, and its interpretation is sure.

45 For as much3606 as you saw2370 that the stone69 was cut1505 out of the mountain2906 without1768 3809 hands,3028 and that it broke1855 in pieces the iron,6523 the brass,5174 the clay,2635 the silver,3702 and the gold;1722 the great7229 God426 has made known3046 to the king4430 what4101 shall come1934 to pass hereafter:311 1836 and the dream2493 is certain,3330 and the interpretation6591 thereof sure.546

46 Then King Nebuchadnezzar fell upon his face and worshipped Daniel, and commanded that they should offer incense and sacrifices to him.

46 Then116 the king4430 Nebuchadnezzar5020 fell5308 on his face,600 and worshipped5457 Daniel,1841 and commanded560 that they should offer5260 an oblation4541 and sweet5208 odors5208 to him.

47 The king answered Daniel and said, Truly, your God is the God of gods and the LORD of kings and a revealer of mysteries, for you have been able to reveal this mystery.

47 The king4430 answered6032 to Daniel,1841 and said,560 Of a truth7187 it is, that your God426 is a God426 of gods,426 and a Lord4756 of kings,4430 and a revealer1541 of secrets,7328 seeing1768 you could3202 reveal1541 this1836 secret.7328

48 Then the king advanced Daniel's rank and gave him a great many gifts and made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon and appointed him chief over all the generals of the armies and over all the wise men of Babylon.

48 Then116 the king4430 made7236 Daniel1841 a great7236 man, and gave3052 him many7690 great7260 gifts,4978 and made him ruler7981 over5922 the whole3606 province4083 of Babylon,895 and chief7229 of the governors5461 over5922 all3606 the wise2445 men of Babylon.895

49 Then Daniel requested of the king, and he appointed Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego over the affairs of the province of Babylon; but Daniel himself remained in the king's gate.

49 Then Daniel1841 requested1156 of the king,4430 and he set4483 Shadrach,7715 Meshach,4336 and Abednego,5665 over5922 the affairs5673 of the province4083 of Babylon:895 but Daniel1841 sat in the gate8651 of the king.4430
