And in the second
year
of the reign
of Nebuchadnezzar
Nebuchadnezzar
dreamed
dreams,
wherewith his spirit
was troubled,
and his sleep
brake
from him.

Then the king
commanded
to call
the magicians,
and the astrologers,
and the sorcerers,
and the Chaldeans,
for to shew
the king
his dreams.
So they came
and stood
before
the king.

And the king
said
unto them, I have dreamed
a dream,
and my spirit
was troubled
to know
the dream.
Then spake
the Chaldeans
to the king
in Syriack,
O king,
live
for ever:
tell

the dream,
and we will shew
the interpretation.

therefore

The Chaldeans
answered

There is
not
a man
upon
the earth
that can
shew

matter:
therefore
there is no
king,
lord,
nor ruler,
that asked
such
things
at any
magician,
or astrologer,
or Chaldean.

And it is a rare
thing
that the king

For
this
cause
the king
was angry
and very
furious,
and commanded
to destroy
all
the wise
men of Babylon.
And the decree
went forth
that the wise
men should be slain;
and they sought
Daniel
and his fellows
to be slain.
Then
Daniel
answered
with counsel
and wisdom
to Arioch
the captain
of
the king's
guard,
which was gone forth
to slay
the wise
men of Babylon:

Then

known

Then Daniel
went in,
and desired

that he would give

and that he would shew

the interpretation.
Then
Daniel
went
to his house,
and made the thing
known
to Hananiah,
Mishael,
and Azariah,
his companions:
That they would desire
mercies
of
the God
of heaven
concerning
this
secret;
that Daniel
and his fellows
should not
perish
with
the rest
of the wise
men of Babylon.

for wisdom

And he changeth

I

thee, and praise
thee, O thou God
of my fathers,
who hast given
me wisdom
and might,
and hast made known
unto me now
what we desired
of thee:
for thou hast now made known
unto us the king's

Therefore
Daniel
went in
unto
Arioch,
whom the king
had ordained
to destroy
the wise
men of Babylon:
he went
and said
thus
unto him; Destroy
not
the wise
men of Babylon:
bring me in
before
the king,
and I will shew
unto the king
the interpretation.

But
there is

As for thee,
O king,
thy thoughts
came
into thy mind upon

what
should come to pass
hereafter:
and he that revealeth
secrets
maketh known
to thee what
shall come to pass.
But as for me,
this
secret
is not
revealed
to me for any wisdom

more than

that

This
is the dream;
and we will tell
the interpretation
thereof before

Thou,
O king,
art a king
of kings:
for the God
of heaven
hath given
thee a kingdom,
power,
and strength,
and glory.
And wheresoever
the children
of men
dwell,
the beasts
of the field
and the fowls
of the heaven
hath he given
into thine hand,
and hath made thee ruler
over them all.
Thou
art this head
of gold.
And after
thee shall arise
another
kingdom
inferior
to thee,
and another
third
kingdom
of brass,
which shall bear rule
over all
the earth.
And the fourth
kingdom
shall be
strong
as iron:
forasmuch as iron
breaketh in pieces
and subdueth
all
things: and as
iron
that breaketh
all
these,
shall it break in pieces
and bruise.
And whereas thou sawest
the feet
and toes,
part
of potters'
clay,
and part
of iron,
the kingdom
shall be
divided;
but
there shall be
in it of
the strength
of the iron,
forasmuch as
thou sawest
the iron
mixed
with miry
clay.

And as the toes
of the feet
were part

and part

so the kingdom
shall be
partly
strong,
and partly
broken.
And whereas
thou sawest
iron
mixed

they shall mingle themselves
with the seed
of men:
but they shall
not
cleave

to
another,
even
as iron

and the kingdom
shall not

but it shall break in pieces

all
these
kingdoms,

shall stand
for ever.
Forasmuch as
thou sawest
that the stone

and that it brake in pieces
the iron,

the great
God

and the dream
