1 In the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar had dreams; and his spirit was troubled, and his sleep left him.

2 Then the king commanded that the magicians, the enchanters, the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans be summoned, to tell the king his dreams. So they came in and stood before the king.

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

4 Then the Chaldeans said to the king, "O king, live for ever! Tell your servants the dream, and we will show the interpretation."

5 The king answered the Chaldeans, "The word from me is sure: if you do not make known to me the dream and its interpretation, you shall be torn limb from limb, and your houses shall be laid in ruins.

6 But if you show the dream and its interpretation, you shall receive from me gifts and rewards and great honor. Therefore show me the dream and its interpretation."

7 They answered a second time, "Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will show its interpretation."

8 The king answered, "I know with certainty that you are trying to gain time, because you see that the word from me is sure

9 that if you do not make the dream known to me, there is but one sentence for you. You have agreed to speak lying and corrupt words before me till the times change. Therefore tell me the dream, and I shall know that you can show me its interpretation."

10 The Chaldeans answered the king, "There is not a man on earth who can meet the king's demand; for no great and powerful king has asked such a thing of any magician or enchanter or Chaldean.

11 The thing that the king asks is difficult, and none can show it to the king except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh."

12 Because of this the king was angry and very furious, and commanded that all the wise men of Babylon be destroyed.

13 So the decree went forth that the wise men were to be slain, and they sought Daniel and his companions, to slay them.

14 Then Daniel replied with prudence and discretion to Arioch, the captain of the king's guard, who had gone out to slay the wise men of Babylon;

15 he said to Arioch, the king's captain, "Why is the decree of the king so severe?" Then Arioch made the matter known to Daniel.

16 And Daniel went in and besought the king to appoint him a time, that he might show to the king the interpretation.

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

18 and told them to seek mercy of the God of heaven concerning this mystery, so that Daniel and his companions might not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.

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

20 Daniel said: "Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever. to whom belong wisdom and might.

21 He changes times and seasons; he removes kings and sets up kings; he gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding;

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

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

24 Therefore Daniel went in to Arioch, whom the king had appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon; he went and said thus to him, "Do not destroy the wise men of Babylon; bring me in before the king, and I will show the king the interpretation."

25 Then Arioch brought in Daniel before the king in haste, and said thus to him: "I have found among the exiles from Judah a man who can make known to the king the interpretation."

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

27 Daniel answered the king, "No wise men, enchanters, magicians, or astrologers can show to the king the mystery which the king has asked,

28 but there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries, and he has made known to King Nebuchadnezzar what will be in the latter days. Your dream and the visions of your head as you lay in bed are these:

29 To you, O king, as you lay in bed came thoughts of what would be hereafter, and he who reveals mysteries made known to you what is to be.

30 But as for me, not because of any wisdom that I have more than all the living has this mystery been revealed to me, but in order that the interpretation may be made known to the king, and that you may know the thoughts of your mind.

31 "You saw, O king, and behold, a great image. This image, mighty and of exceeding brightness, stood before you, and its appearance was frightening.

32 The head of this image was of fine gold, its breast and arms of silver, its belly and thighs of bronze,

33 its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of clay.

34 As you looked, a stone was cut out by no human hand, and it smote the image on its feet of iron and clay, and broke them in pieces;

35 then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold, all together were broken in pieces, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away, so that not a trace of them could be found. But the stone that struck the image became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.

36 "This was the dream; now we will tell the king its interpretation.

37 You, O king, the king of kings, to whom the God of heaven has given the kingdom, the power, and the might, and the glory,

38 and into whose hand he has given, wherever they dwell, the sons of men, the beasts of the field, and the birds of the air, making you rule over them all -- you are the head of gold.

39 After you shall arise another kingdom inferior to you, and yet a third kingdom of bronze, which shall rule over all the earth.

40 And there shall be a fourth kingdom, strong as iron, because iron breaks to pieces and shatters all things; and like iron which crushes, it shall break and crush all these.

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

42 And as the toes of the feet were partly iron and partly clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong and partly brittle.

43 As you saw the iron mixed with miry clay, so they will mix with one another in marriage, but they will not hold together, just as iron does not mix with clay.

44 And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed, nor shall its sovereignty be left to another people. It shall break in pieces all these kingdoms and bring them to an end, and it shall stand for ever;

45 just as you saw that a stone was cut from a mountain by no human hand, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold. A great God has made known to the king what shall be hereafter. The dream is certain, and its interpretation sure."

46 Then King Nebuchadnezzar fell upon his face, and did homage to Daniel, and commanded that an offering and incense be offered up to him.

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

48 Then the king gave Daniel high honors and many great gifts, and made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon, and chief prefect over all the wise men of Babylon.

49 Daniel made request of the king, and he appointed Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego over the affairs of the province of Babylon; but Daniel remained at the king's court.

1 And in the second ^H8147 year ^H8141 of the reign ^H4438 of Nebuchadnezzar ^H5019 Nebuchadnezzar ^H5019 dreamed ^H2492 dreams, ^H2472 wherewith his spirit ^H7307 was troubled, ^H6470 and his sleep ^H8142 broke ^H1961 from ^H5921 him.

2 Then the king ^H4428 commanded ^H559 to call ^H7121 the magicians, ^H2748 and the astrologers, ^H825 and the sorcerers, ^H3784 and the Chaldeans, ^H3778 for to show ^H5046 the king ^H4428 his dreams. ^H2472 So they came ^H935 and stood ^H5975 before ^H6440 the king. ^H4428

3 And the king ^H4428 said ^H559 unto them , I have dreamed ^H2492 a dream, ^H2472 and my spirit ^H7307 was troubled ^H6470 to know ^H3045 ^H853 the dream. ^H2472

4 Then spoke ^H1696 the Chaldeans ^H3778 to the king ^H4428 in Syriac, ^H762 O king, ^H4430 live ^H2418 forever: ^H5957 tell ^H560 thy servants ^H5649 the dream, ^H2493 and we will show ^H2324 the interpretation. ^H6591

5 The king ^H4430 answered ^H6032 and said ^H560 to the Chaldeans, ^H3779 The thing ^H4406 is gone ^H230 from ^H4481 me: if ^H2006 ye will not ^H3809 make known ^H3046 unto me the dream, ^H2493 with the interpretation ^H6591 thereof , ye shall be cut ^H5648 in pieces, ^H1917 and your houses ^H1005 shall be made ^H7761 a dunghill. ^H5122

6 But if ^H2006 ye show ^H2324 the dream, ^H2493 and the interpretation ^H6591 thereof , ye shall receive ^H6902 of ^H4481 ^H6925 me gifts ^H4978 and rewards ^H5023 and great ^H7690 honor: ^H3367 therefore ^H3861 show ^H2324 me the dream, ^H2493 and the interpretation ^H6591 thereof.

7 They answered ^H6032 again ^H8579 and said, ^H560 Let the king ^H4430 tell ^H560 his servants ^H5649 the dream, ^H2493 and we will show ^H2324 the interpretation ^H6591 of it.

8 The king ^H4430 answered ^H6032 and said, ^H560 I ^H576 know ^H3046 of ^H4481 certainty ^H3330 that ^H1768 ye ^H608 would gain ^H2084 the time, ^H5732 because ^H3606 ^H6903 ^H1768 ye see ^H2370 ^H1768 the thing ^H4406 is gone ^H230 from ^H4481 me.

9 But ^H1768 if ^H2006 ye will not ^H3809 make known ^H3046 unto me the dream, ^H2493 there is but one ^H2298 decree ^H1882 for you : for ye have prepared ^H2164 lying ^H3538 and corrupt ^H7844 words ^H4406 to speak ^H560 before ^H6925 me, till ^H5705 ^H1768 the time ^H5732 be changed: ^H8133 therefore ^H3861 tell ^H560 me the dream, ^H2493 and I shall know ^H3046 that ^H1768 ye can show ^H2324 me the interpretation ^H6591 thereof.

10 The Chaldeans ^H3779 answered ^H6032 before ^H6925 the king, ^H4430 and said, ^H560 There is ^H383 not ^H3809 a man ^H606 upon ^H5922 the earth ^H3007 that ^H1768 can ^H3202 show ^H2324 the king's ^H4430 matter: ^H4406 therefore ^H3606 ^H6903 ^H1768 there is no ^H3809 ^H3606 king, ^H4430 lord, ^H7229 nor ruler, ^H7990 that asked ^H7593 such things ^H1836 at any ^H3606 magician, ^H2749 or astrologer, ^H826 or Chaldean. ^H3779

11 And it is a rare ^H3358 thing ^H4406 that ^H1768 the king ^H4430 requireth, ^H7593 and there is ^H383 none ^H3809 other ^H321 that ^H1768 can show ^H2324 it before ^H6925 the king, ^H4430 except ^H3861 the gods, ^H426 whose ^H1768 dwelling ^H4070 is ^H383 not ^H3809 with ^H5974 flesh. ^H1321

12 For this cause ^H3606 ^H6903 ^H1836 the king ^H4430 was angry ^H1149 and very ^H7690 furious, ^H7108 and commanded ^H560 to destroy ^H7 all ^H3606 the wise ^H2445 men of Babylon. ^H895

13 And the decree ^H1882 went forth ^H5312 that the wise ^H2445 men should be slain; ^H6992 and they sought ^H1156 Daniel ^H1841 and his fellows ^H2269 to be slain. ^H6992

14 Then ^H116 Daniel ^H1841 answered ^H8421 with counsel ^H5843 and wisdom ^H2942 to Arioch ^H746 the captain ^H7229 of ^H1768 the king's ^H4430 guard, ^H2877 which ^H1768 was gone forth ^H5312 to slay ^H6992 the wise ^H2445 men of Babylon: ^H895

15 He answered ^H6032 and said ^H560 to Arioch ^H746 the king ^H1768 ^H4430 's captain, ^H7990 Why ^H5922 ^H4101 is the decree ^H1882 so hasty ^H2685 from ^H4481 ^H6925 the king ^H4430 ? Then ^H116 Arioch ^H746 made the thing known ^H3046 ^H4406 to Daniel. ^H1841

16 Then Daniel ^H1841 went in, ^H5954 and desired ^H1156 of ^H4481 the king ^H4430 that ^H1768 he would give ^H5415 him time, ^H2166 and that he would show ^H2324 the king ^H4430 the interpretation. ^H6591

17 Then ^H116 Daniel ^H1841 went ^H236 to his house, ^H1005 and made the thing known ^H3046 ^H4406 to Hananiah, ^H2608 Mishael, ^H4333 and Azariah, ^H5839 his companions: ^H2269

18 That they would desire ^H1156 mercies ^H7359 of ^H4481 ^H6925 the God ^H426 of heaven ^H8065 concerning ^H5922 this ^H1836 secret; ^H7328 that ^H1768 Daniel ^H1841 and his fellows ^H2269 should not ^H3809 perish ^H7 with ^H5974 the rest ^H7606 of the wise ^H2445 men of Babylon. ^H895

19 Then ^H116 was the secret ^H7328 revealed ^H1541 unto Daniel ^H1841 in a night ^H1768 ^H3916 vision. ^H2376 Then ^H116 Daniel ^H1841 blessed ^H1289 the God ^H426 of heaven. ^H8065

20 Daniel ^H1841 answered ^H6032 and said, ^H560 Blessed ^H1289 be ^H1934 the name ^H8036 of ^H1768 God ^H426 forever and ever ^H4481 ^H5957 H5705: ^H5957 for ^H1768 wisdom ^H2452 and might ^H1370 are his:

21 And he ^H1932 changeth ^H8133 the times ^H5732 and the seasons: ^H2166 he removeth ^H5709 kings, ^H4430 and setteth up ^H6966 kings: ^H4430 he giveth ^H3052 wisdom ^H2452 unto the wise, ^H2445 and knowledge ^H4486 to them that know ^H3046 understanding: ^H999

22 He ^H1932 revealeth ^H1541 the deep ^H5994 and secret things: ^H5642 he knoweth ^H3046 what ^H4101 is in the darkness, ^H2816 and the light ^H5094 dwelleth ^H8271 with ^H5974 him.

23 I ^H576 thank ^H3029 thee , and praise ^H7624 thee , O thou God ^H426 of my fathers, ^H2 who ^H1768 hast given ^H3052 me wisdom ^H2452 and might, ^H1370 and hast made known ^H3046 unto me now ^H3705 what ^H1768 we desired ^H1156 of ^H4481 thee: for ^H1768 thou hast now made known ^H3046 unto us the king's ^H4430 matter. ^H4406

24 Therefore ^H3606 ^H6903 ^H1836 Daniel ^H1841 went in ^H5954 unto ^H5922 Arioch, ^H746 whom ^H1768 the king ^H4430 had ordained ^H4483 to destroy ^H7 the wise ^H2445 men of Babylon: ^H895 he went ^H236 and said ^H560 thus ^H3652 unto him; Destroy ^H7 not ^H409 the wise ^H2445 men of Babylon: ^H895 bring me in ^H5924 before ^H6925 the king, ^H4430 and I will show ^H2324 unto the king ^H4430 the interpretation. ^H6591

25 Then ^H116 Arioch ^H746 brought in ^H5954 Daniel ^H1841 before ^H6925 the king ^H4430 in haste, ^H927 and said ^H560 thus ^H3652 unto him , I have found ^H7912 a man ^H1400 of ^H4481 the captives ^H1123 ^H1547 of ^H1768 Judah, ^H3061 that ^H1768 will make known ^H3046 unto the king ^H4430 the interpretation. ^H6591

26 The king ^H4430 answered ^H6032 and said ^H560 to Daniel, ^H1841 whose ^H1768 name ^H8036 was Belteshazzar, ^H1096 Art ^H383 thou able ^H3546 to make known ^H3046 unto me the dream ^H2493 which ^H1768 I have seen, ^H2370 and the interpretation ^H6591 thereof?

27 Daniel ^H1841 answered ^H6032 in the presence of ^H6925 the king, ^H4430 and said, ^H560 The secret ^H7328 which ^H1768 the king ^H4430 hath demanded ^H7593 cannot ^H3202 ^H3809 the wise ^H2445 men , the astrologers, ^H826 the magicians, ^H2749 the soothsayers, ^H1505 show ^H2324 unto the king; ^H4430

28 But ^H1297 there is ^H383 a God ^H426 in heaven ^H8065 that revealeth ^H1541 secrets, ^H7328 and maketh known ^H3046 to the king ^H4430 Nebuchadnezzar ^H5020 what ^H4101 ^H1768 shall be ^H1934 in the latter ^H320 days. ^H3118 Thy dream, ^H2493 and the visions ^H2376 of thy head ^H7217 upon ^H5922 thy bed, ^H4903 are these; ^H1836

29 As for thee, ^H607 O king, ^H4430 thy thoughts ^H7476 came ^H5559 into thy mind upon ^H5922 thy bed, ^H4903 what ^H4101 ^H1768 should come to pass ^H1934 hereafter ^H311 ^H1836 : and he that revealeth ^H1541 secrets ^H7328 maketh known ^H3046 to thee what ^H4101 ^H1768 shall come to pass. ^H1934

30 But as for me, ^H576 this ^H1836 secret ^H7328 is not ^H3809 revealed ^H1541 to me for any wisdom ^H2452 that ^H1768 I have ^H383 more than ^H4481 any ^H3606 living, ^H2417 but ^H3861 for their sakes ^H5922 ^H1701 that ^H1768 shall make known ^H3046 the interpretation ^H6591 to the king, ^H4430 and that thou mightest know ^H3046 the thoughts ^H7476 of thy heart. ^H3825

31 Thou ^H607 , O king, ^H4430 sawest ^H2370 ^H1934 , and behold ^H431 a ^H2298 great ^H7690 image. ^H6755 This ^H1797 great ^H7229 image, ^H6755 whose brightness ^H2122 was excellent, ^H3493 stood ^H6966 before ^H6903 thee ; and the form ^H7299 thereof was terrible. ^H1763

32 This ^H1932 image's ^H6755 head ^H7217 was of ^H1768 fine ^H2869 gold, ^H1722 his breast ^H2306 and his arms ^H1872 of ^H1768 silver, ^H3702 his belly ^H4577 and his thighs ^H3410 of ^H1768 brass, ^H5174

33 His legs ^H8243 of ^H1768 iron, ^H6523 his feet ^H7271 part ^H4481 of ^H1768 iron ^H6523 and part ^H4481 of ^H1768 clay. ^H2635

34 Thou sawest ^H2370 ^H1934 till ^H5705 that ^H1768 a stone ^H69 was cut out ^H1505 without ^H1768 ^H3809 hands, ^H3028 which smote ^H4223 the image ^H6755 upon ^H5922 his feet ^H7271 that were of ^H1768 iron ^H6523 and clay, ^H2635 and broke them to pieces ^H1855 ^H1994 .

35 Then ^H116 was the iron, ^H6523 the clay, ^H2635 the brass, ^H5174 the silver, ^H3702 and the gold, ^H1722 broken to pieces ^H1751 together, ^H2298 and became ^H1934 like the chaff ^H5784 of ^H4481 the summer ^H7007 threshingfloors; ^H147 and the wind ^H7308 carried them away ^H5376 ^H1994 , that no ^H3809 ^H3606 place ^H870 was found ^H7912 for them : and the stone ^H69 that ^H1768 smote ^H4223 the image ^H6755 became ^H1934 a great ^H7229 mountain, ^H2906 and filled ^H4391 the whole ^H3606 earth. ^H772

36 This ^H1836 is the dream; ^H2493 and we will tell ^H560 the interpretation ^H6591 thereof before ^H6925 the king. ^H4430

37 Thou ^H607 , O king, ^H4430 art a king ^H4430 of kings: ^H4430 for ^H1768 the God ^H426 of heaven ^H8065 hath given ^H3052 thee a kingdom, ^H4437 power, ^H2632 and strength, ^H8632 and glory. ^H3367

38 And wheresoever ^H3606 ^H1768 the children ^H1123 of men ^H606 dwell, ^H1753 the beasts ^H2423 of the field ^H1251 and the fowls ^H5776 of the heaven ^H8065 hath he given ^H3052 into thine hand, ^H3028 and hath made thee ruler ^H7981 over them all. ^H3606 Thou ^H607 art this ^H1932 head ^H7217 of ^H1768 gold. ^H1722

39 And after ^H870 thee shall arise ^H6966 another ^H317 kingdom ^H4437 inferior ^H772 to ^H4481 thee , and another ^H317 third ^H8523 kingdom ^H4437 of ^H1768 brass, ^H5174 which ^H1768 shall bear rule ^H7981 over all ^H3606 the earth. ^H772

40 And the fourth ^H7244 kingdom ^H4437 shall be ^H1934 strong ^H8624 as iron: ^H6523 forasmuch as ^H3606 ^H6903 ^H1768 iron ^H6523 breaketh in pieces ^H1855 and subdueth ^H2827 all ^H3606 things : and as iron ^H6523 that ^H1768 breaketh ^H7490 all ^H3606 these, ^H459 shall it break in pieces ^H1855 and bruise. ^H7490

41 And whereas ^H1768 thou sawest ^H2370 the feet ^H7271 and toes, ^H677 part ^H4481 of ^H1768 potters' ^H6353 clay, ^H2635 and part ^H4481 of iron, ^H6523 the kingdom ^H4437 shall be ^H1934 divided; ^H6386 but there shall be ^H1934 in it of ^H4481 the strength ^H5326 of ^H1768 the iron, ^H6523 forasmuch as ^H3606 ^H6903 ^H1768 thou sawest ^H2370 the iron ^H6523 mixed ^H6151 with miry ^H2917 clay. ^H2635

42 And as the toes ^H677 of the feet ^H7271 were part ^H4481 of iron, ^H6523 and part ^H4481 of clay, ^H2635 so the kingdom ^H4437 shall be ^H1934 partly ^H4481 ^H7118 strong, ^H8624 and partly ^H4481 broken. ^H8406

43 And whereas ^H1768 thou sawest ^H2370 iron ^H6523 mixed ^H6151 with miry ^H2917 clay, ^H2635 they shall ^H1934 mingle themselves ^H6151 with the seed ^H2234 of men: ^H606 but they shall ^H1934 not ^H3809 cleave ^H1693 one ^H1836 to ^H5974 another, ^H1836 even as ^H1888 ^H1768 iron ^H6523 is not ^H3809 mixed ^H6151 with ^H5974 clay. ^H2635

44 And in the days ^H3118 of ^H1768 these ^H581 kings ^H4430 shall the God ^H426 of heaven ^H8065 set up ^H6966 a kingdom, ^H4437 which ^H1768 shall never ^H3809 ^H5957 be destroyed: ^H2255 and the kingdom ^H4437 shall not ^H3809 be left ^H7662 to other ^H321 people, ^H5972 but it shall break in pieces ^H1855 and consume ^H5487 all ^H3606 these ^H459 kingdoms, ^H4437 and it ^H1932 shall stand ^H6966 forever. ^H5957

45 Forasmuch as ^H3606 ^H6903 ^H1768 thou sawest ^H2370 that ^H1768 the stone ^H69 was cut out ^H1505 of the mountain ^H4481 ^H2906 without ^H1768 ^H3809 hands, ^H3028 and that it broke in pieces ^H1855 the iron, ^H6523 the brass, ^H5174 the clay, ^H2635 the silver, ^H3702 and the gold; ^H1722 the great ^H7229 God ^H426 hath made known ^H3046 to the king ^H4430 what ^H4101 ^H1768 shall come to pass ^H1934 hereafter ^H311 : ^H1836 and the dream ^H2493 is certain, ^H3330 and the interpretation ^H6591 thereof sure. ^H540

46 Then ^H116 the king ^H4430 Nebuchadnezzar ^H5020 fell ^H5308 upon ^H5922 his face, ^H600 and worshiped ^H5457 Daniel, ^H1841 and commanded ^H560 that they should offer ^H5260 an oblation ^H4061 and sweet odors ^H5208 unto him.

47 The king ^H4430 answered ^H6032 unto Daniel, ^H1841 and said, ^H560 Of ^H4481 a truth ^H7187 it is , that ^H1768 your God ^H426 is a God ^H426 of gods, ^H426 and a Lord ^H4756 of kings, ^H4430 and a revealer ^H1541 of secrets, ^H7328 seeing ^H1768 thou couldest ^H3202 reveal ^H1541 this ^H1836 secret. ^H7328

48 Then ^H116 the king ^H4430 made Daniel a great man ^H7236 ^H1841 , and gave ^H3052 him many ^H7690 great ^H7260 gifts, ^H4978 and made him ruler ^H7981 over ^H5922 the whole ^H3606 province ^H4083 of Babylon, ^H895 and chief ^H7229 of the governors ^H5460 over ^H5922 all ^H3606 the wise ^H2445 men of Babylon. ^H895

49 Then Daniel ^H1841 requested ^H1156 of ^H4481 the king, ^H4430 and he set ^H4483 Shadrach, ^H7715 Meshach, ^H4336 and Abed- ^H5665 nego, over ^H5922 the affairs ^H5673 of ^H1768 the province ^H4083 of Babylon: ^H895 but Daniel ^H1841 sat in the gate ^H8651 of the king. ^H4430
