Daniel 1:1--4:37

1:1
In the third
<07969>
year
<08141>
of the reign
<04438>
of Jehoiakim
<03079>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>
came
<0935> (8804)
Nebuchadnezzar
<05019>
king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
unto Jerusalem
<03389>_,
and besieged
<06696> (8799)
it.
1:2
And the Lord
<0136>
gave
<05414> (8799)
Jehoiakim
<03079>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>
into his hand
<03027>_,
with part
<07117>
of the vessels
<03627>
of the house
<01004>
of God
<0430>_:
which he carried
<0935> (8686)
into the land
<0776>
of Shinar
<08152>
to the house
<01004>
of his god
<0430>_;
and he brought
<0935> (8689)
the vessels
<03627>
into the treasure
<0214>
house
<01004>
of his god
<0430>_.
1:3
And the king
<04428>
spake
<0559> (8799)
unto Ashpenaz
<0828>
the master
<07227>
of his eunuchs
<05631>_,
that he should bring
<0935> (8687)
[certain] of the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_,
and of the king's
<04410>
seed
<02233>_,
and of the princes
<06579>_;
1:4
Children
<03206>
in whom [was] no blemish
<03971> (8675) <03971>_,
but well
<02896>
favoured
<04758>_,
and skilful
<07919> (8688)
in all wisdom
<02451>_,
and cunning
<03045> (8802)
in knowledge
<01847>_,
and understanding
<0995> (8688)
science
<04093>_,
and such as [had] ability
<03581>
in them to stand
<05975> (8800)
in the king's
<04428>
palace
<01964>_,
and whom they might teach
<03925> (8763)
the learning
<05612>
and the tongue
<03956>
of the Chaldeans
<03778>_.
1:5
And the king
<04428>
appointed
<04487> (8762)
them a daily
<03117> <03117>
provision
<01697>
of the king's
<04428>
meat
<06598>_,
and of the wine
<03196>
which he drank
<04960>_:
so nourishing
<01431> (8763)
them three
<07969>
years
<08141>_,
that at the end
<07117>
thereof they might stand
<05975> (8799)
before
<06440>
the king
<04428>_.
{the wine...: Heb. the wine of his drink}
1:6
Now among these were of the children
<01121>
of Judah
<03063>_,
Daniel
<01840>_,
Hananiah
<02608>_,
Mishael
<04332>_,
and Azariah
<05838>_:
1:7
Unto whom the prince
<08269>
of the eunuchs
<05631>
gave
<07760> (8799)
names
<08034>_:
for he gave
<07760> (8799)
unto Daniel
<01840>
[the name] of Belteshazzar
<01095>_;
and to Hananiah
<02608>_,
of Shadrach
<07714>_;
and to Mishael
<04332>_,
of Meshach
<04335>_;
and to Azariah
<05838>_,
of Abednego
<05664>_.
1:8
But Daniel
<01840>
purposed
<07760> (8799)
in his heart
<03820>
that he would not defile
<01351> (8691)
himself with the portion
<06598> (0)
of the king's
<04428>
meat
<06598>_,
nor with the wine
<03196>
which he drank
<04960>_:
therefore he requested
<01245> (8762)
of the prince
<08269>
of the eunuchs
<05631>
that he might not defile
<01351> (8691)
himself.
1:9
Now God
<0430>
had brought
<05414> (8799)
Daniel
<01840>
into favour
<02617>
and tender love
<07356>
with
<06440>
the prince
<08269>
of the eunuchs
<05631>_.
1:10
And the prince
<08269>
of the eunuchs
<05631>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Daniel
<01840>_,
I fear
<03373>
my lord
<0113>
the king
<04428>_,
who hath appointed
<04487> (8765)
your meat
<03978>
and your drink
<04960>_:
for why should he see
<07200> (8799)
your faces
<06440>
worse liking
<02196> (8802)
than the children
<03206>
which [are] of your sort
<01524>_?
then shall ye make [me] endanger
<02325> (8765)
my head
<07218>
to the king
<04428>_.
{worse...: Heb. sadder} {sort: or, term, or, continuance?}
1:11
Then said
<0559> (8799)
Daniel
<01840>
to Melzar
<04453>_,
whom the prince
<08269>
of the eunuchs
<05631>
had set
<04487> (8765)
over Daniel
<01840>_,
Hananiah
<02608>_,
Mishael
<04332>_,
and Azariah
<05838>_,
{Melzar: or, the steward}
1:12
Prove
<05254> (8761)
thy servants
<05650>_,
I beseech thee, ten
<06235>
days
<03117>_;
and let them give
<05414> (8799)
us pulse
<02235>
to eat
<0398> (8799)_,
and water
<04325>
to drink
<08354> (8799)_.
{pulse: Heb. of pulse} {to eat...: Heb. that we may eat, etc}
1:13
Then let our countenances
<04758>
be looked upon
<07200> (8735)
before
<06440>
thee, and the countenance
<04758>
of the children
<03206>
that eat
<0398> (8802)
of the portion
<06598> (0)
of the king's
<04428>
meat
<06598>_:
and as thou seest
<07200> (8799)_,
deal
<06213> (8798)
with thy servants
<05650>_.
1:14
So he consented
<08085> (8799)
to them in this matter
<01697>_,
and proved
<05254> (8762)
them ten
<06235>
days
<03117>_.
1:15
And at the end
<07117>
of ten
<06235>
days
<03117>
their countenances
<04758>
appeared
<07200> (8738)
fairer
<02896>
and fatter
<01277>
in flesh
<01320>
than all the children
<03206>
which did eat
<0398> (8802)
the portion
<06598> (0)
of the king's
<04428>
meat
<06598>_.
1:16
Thus Melzar
<04453>
took away
<05375> (8802)
the portion of their meat
<06598>_,
and the wine
<03196>
that they should drink
<04960>_;
and gave
<05414> (8802)
them pulse
<02235>_.
1:17
As for these four
<0702>
children
<03206>_,
God
<0430>
gave
<05414> (8804)
them knowledge
<04093>
and skill
<07919> (8687)
in all learning
<05612>
and wisdom
<02451>_:
and Daniel
<01840>
had understanding
<0995> (8689)
in all visions
<02377>
and dreams
<02472>_.
{Daniel...: or, he made Daniel understand}
1:18
Now at the end
<07117>
of the days
<03117>
that the king
<04428>
had said
<0559> (8804)
he should bring
<0935> (8687)
them in, then the prince
<08269>
of the eunuchs
<05631>
brought
<0935> (8686)
them in before
<06440>
Nebuchadnezzar
<05019>_.
1:19
And the king
<04428>
communed
<01696> (8762)
with them; and among them all was found
<04672> (8738)
none like Daniel
<01840>_,
Hananiah
<02608>_,
Mishael
<04332>_,
and Azariah
<05838>_:
therefore stood
<05975> (8799)
they before
<06440>
the king
<04428>_.
1:20
And in all matters
<01697>
of wisdom
<02451>
[and] understanding
<0998>_,
that the king
<04428>
enquired
<01245> (8765)
of them, he found
<04672> (8799)
them ten times
<06235>
better
<03027>
than all the magicians
<02748>
[and] astrologers
<0825>
that [were] in all his realm
<04438>_.
{wisdom...: Heb. wisdom of understanding}
1:21
And Daniel
<01840>
continued [even] unto the first
<0259>
year
<08141>
of king
<04428>
Cyrus
<03566>_.
2:1
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.
2:2
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>_.
2:3
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>_.
2:4
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>_.
{O king...: (Chaldee, to the end of chapter seven)}
2:5
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>_.
{cut...: Chaldee, made pieces}
2:6
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. {rewards: or, fee}
2:7
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.
2:8
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. {gain: Chaldee, buy}
2:9
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.
2:10
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>_.
2:11
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>_.
2:12
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>_.
2:13
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)_.
2:14
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>_:
{answered...: Chaldee, returned} {captain...: or, chief marshal: Chaldee, chief of the executioners, or, slaughtermen}
2:15
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>_.
2:16
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>_.
2:17
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>_:
2:18
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>_.
{of the God: Chaldee, from before God} {that Daniel...: or, that they should not destroy Daniel, etc}
2:19
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>_.
2:20
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:
2:21
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>_:
2:22
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>_.
2:23
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>_.
2:24
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>_.
2:25
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>_.
{I have...: Chaldee, That I have found} {captives...: Chaldee, children of the captivity of Judah}
2:26
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?
2:27
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>_;
2:28
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>_;
{maketh...: Chaldee, hath made known}
2:29
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)_.
{came: Chaldee, came up}
2:30
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>_.
{but for...: or, but for the intent that the interpretation may be made known to the king}
2:31
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)_.
{sawest: Chaldee, wast seeing}
2:32
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>_,
{thighs: or, sides}
2:33
His legs
<08243>
of iron
<06523>_,
his feet
<07271>
part
<04481>
of iron
<06523>
and part
<04481>
of clay
<02635>_.
2:34
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> (0)
them
<01994>
to pieces
<01855> (8684)_.
{without...: or, which was not in hands}
2:35
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> (0)
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>_.
2:36
This
<01836>
[is] the dream
<02493>_;
and we will tell
<0560> (8748)
the interpretation
<06591>
thereof before
<06925>
the king
<04430>_.
2:37
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>_.
2:38
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>_.
2:39
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>_.
2:40
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)_.
2:41
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> (0)
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>_.
2:42
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)_.
{broken: or, brittle}
2:43
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>_.
{one...: Chaldee, this with this}
2:44
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>_.
{the days: Chaldee, their days} {the kingdom: Chaldee, the kingdom thereof}
2:45
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 the interpretation
<06591>
thereof sure
<0540> (8683)_.
{without...: or, which was not in hands} {hereafter: Chaldee, after this}
2:46
Then
<0116>
the king
<04430>
Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>
fell
<05308> (8754)
upon
<05922>
his face
<0600>_,
and worshipped
<05457> (8754)
Daniel
<01841>_,
and commanded
<0560> (8754)
that they should offer
<05260> (8742)
an oblation
<04504>
and sweet odours
<05208>
unto him.
2:47
The king
<04430>
answered
<06032> (8750)
unto Daniel
<01841>_,
and said
<0560> (8750)_,
Of
<04481>
a truth
<07187>
[it is], that
<01768>
your God
<0426>
[is] a God
<0426>
of gods
<0426>_,
and a Lord
<04756>
of kings
<04430>_,
and a revealer
<01541> (8751)
of secrets
<07328>_,
seeing thou couldest
<03202> (8754)
reveal
<01541> (8749)
this
<01836>
secret
<07328>_.
2:48
Then
<0116>
the king
<04430>
made
<07236> (0)
Daniel
<01841>
a great man
<07236> (8745)_,
and gave
<03052> (8754)
him many
<07690>
great
<07260>
gifts
<04978>_,
and made him ruler
<07981> (8684)
over
<05922>
the whole
<03606>
province
<04083>
of Babylon
<0895>_,
and chief
<07229>
of the governors
<05460>
over
<05922>
all
<03606>
the wise
<02445>
[men] of Babylon
<0895>_.
2:49
Then Daniel
<01841>
requested
<01156> (8754)
of
<04481>
the king
<04430>_,
and he set
<04483> (8745)
Shadrach
<07715>_,
Meshach
<04336>_,
and Abednego
<05665>_,
over
<05922>
the affairs
<05673>
of the province
<04083>
of Babylon
<0895>_:
but Daniel
<01841>
[sat] in the gate
<08651>
of the king
<04430>_.
3:1
Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>
the king
<04430>
made
<05648> (8754)
an image
<06755>
of gold
<01722>_,
whose height
<07314>
[was] threescore
<08361>
cubits
<0521>_,
[and] the breadth
<06613>
thereof six
<08353>
cubits
<0521>_:
he set it up
<06966> (8684)
in the plain
<01236>
of Dura
<01757>_,
in the province
<04083>
of Babylon
<0895>_.
3:2
Then Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>
the king
<04430>
sent
<07972> (8754)
to gather together
<03673> (8749)
the princes
<0324>_,
the governors
<05460>_,
and the captains
<06347>_,
the judges
<0148>_,
the treasurers
<01411>_,
the counsellors
<01884>_,
the sheriffs
<08614>_,
and all
<03606>
the rulers
<07984>
of the provinces
<04083>_,
to come
<0858> (8749)
to the dedication
<02597>
of the image
<06755>
which Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>
the king
<04430>
had set up
<06966> (8684)_.
3:3
Then
<0116>
the princes
<0324>_,
the governors
<05460>_,
and captains
<06347>_,
the judges
<0148>_,
the treasurers
<01411>_,
the counsellors
<01884>_,
the sheriffs
<08614>_,
and all
<03606>
the rulers
<07984>
of the provinces
<04083>_,
were gathered together
<03673> (8723)
unto the dedication
<02597>
of the image
<06755>
that Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>
the king
<04430>
had set up
<06966> (8684)_;
and they stood
<06966> (8750)
before
<06903>
the image
<06755>
that Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>
had set up
<06966> (8684)_.
3:4
Then an herald
<03744>
cried
<07123> (8751)
aloud
<02429>_,
To you it is commanded
<0560> (8750)_,
O people
<05972>_,
nations
<0524>_,
and languages
<03961>_,
{aloud: Chaldee, with might} {it...: Chaldee, they command}
3:5
[That] at what time
<05732>
ye hear
<08086> (8748)
the sound
<07032>
of the cornet
<07162>_,
flute
<04953>_,
harp
<07030> (8675) <07030>_,
sackbut
<05443>_,
psaltery
<06460>_,
dulcimer
<05481>_,
and all
<03606>
kinds
<02178>
of musick
<02170>_,
ye fall down
<05308> (8748)
and worship
<05457> (8748)
the golden
<01722>
image
<06755>
that Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>
the king
<04430>
hath set up
<06966> (8684)_:
{dulcimer: or, singing: Chaldee, symphony}
3:6
And whoso
<04479>
falleth
<05308> (0)
not
<03809>
down
<05308> (8748)
and worshippeth
<05457> (8748)
shall the same hour
<08160>
be cast
<07412> (8729)
into the midst
<01459>
of a burning
<03345> (8751)
fiery
<05135>
furnace
<0861>_.
3:7
Therefore
<06903> <01836>
at that time
<02166>_,
when
<01768>
all
<03606>
the people
<05972>
heard
<08086> (8750)
the sound
<07032>
of the cornet
<07162>_,
flute
<04953>_,
harp
<07030> (8675) <07030>_,
sackbut
<05443>_,
psaltery
<06460>_,
and all
<03606>
kinds
<02178>
of musick
<02170>_,
all
<03606>
the people
<05972>_,
the nations
<0524>_,
and the languages
<03961>_,
fell down
<05308> (8750)
[and] worshipped
<05457> (8750)
the golden
<01722>
image
<06755>
that Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>
the king
<04430>
had set up
<06966> (8684)_.
3:8
Wherefore
<06903> <03606>
at that
<01836>
time
<02166>
certain
<01400>
Chaldeans
<03779>
came near
<07127> (8754)_,
and accused
<07170> <0399> (8754)
the Jews
<03062>_.
3:9
They spake
<06032> (8754)
and said
<0560> (8750)
to the king
<04430>
Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>_,
O king
<04430>_,
live
<02418> (8747)
for ever
<05957>_.
3:10
Thou
<0607>_,
O king
<04430>_,
hast made
<07761> (8754)
a decree
<02942>_,
that every
<03606>
man
<0606>
that shall hear
<08086> (8748)
the sound
<07032>
of the cornet
<07162>_,
flute
<04953>_,
harp
<07030> (8675) <07030>_,
sackbut
<05443>_,
psaltery
<06460>_,
and dulcimer
<05481> (8675) <05481>_,
and all
<03606>
kinds
<02178>
of musick
<02170>_,
shall fall down
<05308> (8748)
and worship
<05457> (8748)
the golden
<01722>
image
<06755>_:
{dulcimer: or, singing: Chaldee, symphony}
3:11
And whoso
<04479>
falleth
<05308> (0)
not
<03809>
down
<05308> (8748)
and worshippeth
<05457> (8748)_,
[that] he should be cast
<07412> (8729)
into the midst
<01459>
of a burning
<03345> (8751)
fiery
<05135>
furnace
<0861>_.
3:12
There are
<0383>
certain
<01400>
Jews
<03062>
whom
<03487>
thou hast set
<04483> (8745)
over
<05922>
the affairs
<05673>
of the province
<04083>
of Babylon
<0895>_,
Shadrach
<07715>_,
Meshach
<04336>_,
and Abednego
<05665>_;
these
<0479>
men
<01400>_,
O king
<04430>_,
have
<07761> (8754)
not
<03809>
regarded
<02942>
thee
<05922>_:
they serve
<06399> (8750)
not
<03809>
thy gods
<0426>_,
nor
<03809>
worship
<05457> (8750)
the golden
<01722>
image
<06755>
which thou hast set up
<06966> (8684)_.
{have...: Chaldee, have set no regard upon thee}
3:13
Then
<0116>
Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>
in [his] rage
<07266>
and fury
<02528>
commanded
<0560> (8754)
to bring
<0858> (8682)
Shadrach
<07715>_,
Meshach
<04336>_,
and Abednego
<05665>_.
Then
<0116>
they brought
<0858> (8717)
these
<0479>
men
<01400>
before
<06925>
the king
<04430>_.
3:14
Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>
spake
<06032> (8750)
and said
<0560> (8750)
unto them, [Is it] true
<06656>_,
O Shadrach
<07715>_,
Meshach
<04336>_,
and Abednego
<05665>_,
do not
<03809>
ye
<0383>
serve
<06399> (8750)
my gods
<0426>_,
nor
<03809>
worship
<05457> (8750)
the golden
<01722>
image
<06755>
which I have set
<06966> (8684)
up? {true: or, of purpose}
3:15
Now
<03705>
if
<02006>
ye be
<0383>
ready
<06263>
that at what time
<05732>
ye hear
<08086> (8748)
the sound
<07032>
of the cornet
<07162>_,
flute
<04953>_,
harp
<07030> (8675) <07030>_,
sackbut
<05443>_,
psaltery
<06460>_,
and dulcimer
<05481>_,
and all
<03606>
kinds
<02178>
of musick
<02170>_,
ye fall down
<05308> (8748)
and worship
<05457> (8748)
the image
<06755>
which I have made
<05648> (8754)_;
[well]: but if
<02006>
ye worship
<05457> (8748)
not
<03809>_,
ye shall be cast
<07412> (8729)
the same hour
<08160>
into the midst
<01459>
of a burning
<03345> (8751)
fiery
<05135>
furnace
<0861>_;
and who
<04479>
[is] that God
<0426>
that shall deliver
<07804> (8755)
you out of
<04481>
my hands
<03028>_?
{dulcimer: or, singing: Chaldee, symphony}
3:16
Shadrach
<07715>_,
Meshach
<04336>_,
and Abednego
<05665>_,
answered
<06032> (8754)
and said
<0560> (8750)
to the king
<04430>_,
O Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>_,
we
<0586>
[are] not
<03809>
careful
<02818> (8750)
to answer
<08421> (8682)
thee in
<05922>
this
<01836>
matter
<06600>_.
3:17
If
<02006>
it be [so], our God
<0426>
whom we
<0586>
serve
<06399> (8750)
is
<0383>
able
<03202> (8750)
to deliver
<07804> (8756)
us from
<04481>
the burning
<03345> (8751)
fiery
<05135>
furnace
<0861>_,
and
<04481> (0)
he will deliver
<07804> (8755)
[us] out of
<04481>
thine hand
<03028>_,
O king
<04430>_.
3:18
But if
<02006>
not
<03809>_,
be it
<01934> (8748)
known
<03046> (8752)
unto thee, O king
<04430>_,
that we will
<0383>
not
<03809>
serve
<06399> (8750)
thy gods
<0426>_,
nor
<03809>
worship
<05457> (8748)
the golden
<01722>
image
<06755>
which thou hast set up
<06966> (8684)_.
3:19
Then
<0116>
was Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>
full
<04391> (8728)
of fury
<02528>_,
and the form
<06755>
of his visage
<0600>
was changed
<08133> (8724)
against
<05922>
Shadrach
<07715>_,
Meshach
<04336>_,
and Abednego
<05665>_:
[therefore] he spake
<06032> (8750)_,
and commanded
<0560> (8750)
that they should heat
<0228> (8749)
the furnace
<0861>
one
<02298>
seven times
<07655>
more
<05922>
than
<01768>
it was wont
<02370> (8752)
to be heated
<0228> (8749)_.
{full: Chaldee, filled}
3:20
And he commanded
<0560> (8754)
the most
<02429>
mighty
<01401>
men
<01400>
that [were] in his army
<02429>
to bind
<03729> (8742)
Shadrach
<07715>_,
Meshach
<04336>_,
and Abednego
<05665>_,
[and] to cast
<07412> (8749)
[them] into the burning
<03345> (8751)
fiery
<05135>
furnace
<0861>_.
{most...: Chaldee, mighty of strength}
3:21
Then
<0116>
these
<0479>
men
<01400>
were bound
<03729> (8760)
in their coats
<05622>_,
their hosen
<06361> (8675) <06361>_,
and their hats
<03737>_,
and their [other] garments
<03831>_,
and were cast
<07412> (8752)
into the midst
<01459>
of the burning
<03345> (8751)
fiery
<05135>
furnace
<0861>_.
{coats: or, mantles} {hats: or, turbans}
3:22
Therefore
<03606> <06903>
because
<04481> <01836>
the king's
<04430>
commandment
<04406>
was urgent
<02685> (8683)_,
and the furnace
<0861>
exceeding
<03493>
hot
<0228> (8752)_,
the flame
<07631>
of the fire
<05135>
slew
<06992> (8745)
those
<0479>
men
<01400> <01994>
that took up
<05267> (8684)
Shadrach
<07715>_,
Meshach
<04336>_,
and Abednego
<05665>_.
{commandment: Chaldee, word} {flame: or, spark}
3:23
And these
<0479>
three
<08532>
men
<01400>_,
Shadrach
<07715>_,
Meshach
<04336>_,
and Abednego
<05665>_,
fell down
<05308> (8754)
bound
<03729> (8743)
into the midst
<01459>
of the burning
<03345> (8751)
fiery
<05135>
furnace
<0861>_.
3:24
Then
<0116>
Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>
the king
<04430>
was astonied
<08429> (8754)_,
and rose up
<06966> (8754)
in haste
<0927> (8726)_,
[and] spake
<06032> (8750)_,
and said
<0560> (8750)
unto his counsellors
<01907>_,
Did not
<03809>
we cast
<07412> (8754)
three
<08532>
men
<01400>
bound
<03729> (8743)
into the midst
<01459>
of the fire
<05135>_?
They answered
<06032> (8750)
and said
<0560> (8750)
unto the king
<04430>_,
True
<03330>_,
O king
<04430>_.
{counsellors: or, governors}
3:25
He answered
<06032> (8750)
and said
<0560> (8750)_,
Lo
<01888>_,
I
<0576>
see
<02370> (8751)
four
<0703>
men
<01400>
loose
<08271> (8750)_,
walking
<01981> (8683)
in the midst
<01459>
of the fire
<05135>_,
and they have
<0383>
no
<03809>
hurt
<02257>_;
and the form
<07299>
of the fourth
<07244>
is like
<01821> (8751)
the Son
<01247>
of God
<0426>_.
{they...: Chaldee, there is no hurt in them}
3:26
Then
<0116>
Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>
came near
<07127> (8754)
to the mouth
<08651>
of the burning
<03345> (8751)
fiery
<05135>
furnace
<0861>_,
[and] spake
<06032> (8750)_,
and said
<0560> (8750)_,
Shadrach
<07715>_,
Meshach
<04336>_,
and Abednego
<05665>_,
ye servants
<05649>
of the most high
<05943>
God
<0426>_,
come forth
<05312> (8747)_,
and come
<0858> (8747)
[hither]. Then
<0116>
Shadrach
<07715>_,
Meshach
<04336>_,
and Abednego
<05665>_,
came forth
<05312> (8750)
of
<04481>
the midst
<01459>
of the fire
<05135>_.
{mouth: Chaldee, door}
3:27
And the princes
<0324>_,
governors
<05460>_,
and captains
<06347>_,
and the king's
<04430>
counsellors
<01907>_,
being gathered together
<03673> (8723)_,
saw
<02370> (8751)
these
<0479>
men
<01400>_,
upon whose bodies
<01655>
the fire
<05135>
had no
<03809>
power
<07981> (8754)_,
nor
<03809>
was an hair
<08177>
of their head
<07217>
singed
<02761> (8724)_,
neither
<03809>
were their coats
<05622>
changed
<08133> (8754)_,
nor
<03809>
the smell
<07382>
of fire
<05135>
had passed
<05709> (8754)
on them.
3:28
[Then] Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>
spake
<06032> (8750)_,
and said
<0560> (8750)_,
Blessed
<01289> (8752)
[be] the God
<0426>
of Shadrach
<07715>_,
Meshach
<04336>_,
and Abednego
<05665>_,
who hath sent
<07972> (8754)
his angel
<04398>_,
and delivered
<07804> (8758)
his servants
<05649>
that trusted
<07365> (8702)
in him
<05922>_,
and have changed
<08133> (8745)
the king's
<04430>
word
<04406>_,
and yielded
<03052> (8754)
their bodies
<01655>_,
that they might not
<03809>
serve
<06399> (8748)
nor
<03809>
worship
<05457> (8748)
any
<03606>
god
<0426>_,
except
<03861>
their own God
<0426>_.
3:29
Therefore I
<04481>
make
<07761> (8752)
a decree
<02942>_,
That every
<03606>
people
<05972>_,
nation
<0524>_,
and language
<03961>_,
which speak
<0560> (8748)
any thing amiss
<07960> (8675) <07955>
against
<05922>
the God
<0426>
of Shadrach
<07715>_,
Meshach
<04336>_,
and Abednego
<05665>_,
shall be cut
<05648> (8725)
in pieces
<01917>_,
and their houses
<01005>
shall be made
<07739> (8721)
a dunghill
<05122>_:
because
<06903> <03606>
there is
<0383>
no
<03809>
other
<0321>
God
<0426>
that can
<03202> (8748)
deliver
<05338> (8682)
after this
<01836>
sort. {I make...: Chaldee, a decree is made by me} {any...: Chaldee, error} {cut...: Chaldee, made pieces}
3:30
Then
<0116>
the king
<04430>
promoted
<06744> (8684)
Shadrach
<07715>_,
Meshach
<04336>_,
and Abednego
<05665>_,
in the province
<04083>
of Babylon
<0895>_.
{promoted: Chaldee, made to prosper}
4:1
Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>
the king
<04430>_,
unto all
<03606>
people
<05972>_,
nations
<0524>_,
and languages
<03961>_,
that dwell
<01753> (8748)
in all
<03606>
the earth
<0772>_;
Peace
<08001>
be multiplied
<07680> (8748)
unto you.
4:2
I thought
<06925>
it good
<08232> (8754)
to shew
<02324> (8682)
the signs
<0852>
and wonders
<08540>
that the high
<05943>
God
<0426>
hath wrought
<05648> (8754)
toward
<05974>
me. {I thought...: Chaldee, It was seemly before me}
4:3
How
<04101>
great
<07260>
[are] his signs
<0852>_!
and how
<04101>
mighty
<08624>
[are] his wonders
<08540>_!
his kingdom
<04437>
[is] an everlasting
<05957>
kingdom
<04437>_,
and his dominion
<07985>
[is] from
<05974>
generation
<01859>
to generation
<01859>_.
4:4
I
<0576>
Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>
was
<01934> (8754)
at rest
<07954> (8752)
in mine house
<01005>_,
and flourishing
<07487>
in my palace
<01965>_:
4:5
I saw
<02370> (8754)
a dream
<02493>
which made me afraid
<01763> (8741)_,
and the thoughts
<02031>
upon
<05922>
my bed
<04903>
and the visions
<02376>
of my head
<07217>
troubled
<0927> (8792)
me.
4:6
Therefore
<04481> (0)
made
<07761> (8752)
I
<04481>
a decree
<02942>
to bring
<05954> (8682)
in all
<03606>
the wise
<02445>
[men] of Babylon
<0895>
before
<06925>
me, that they might make known
<03046> (8681)
unto me the interpretation
<06591>
of the dream
<02493>_.
4:7
Then
<0116>
came
<05954> (8750)
in the magicians
<02749>_,
the astrologers
<0826>_,
the Chaldeans
<03779>_,
and the soothsayers
<01505> (8750)_:
and I
<0576>
told
<0560> (8750)
the dream
<02493>
before
<06925>
them; but they did not
<03809>
make known
<03046> (8683)
unto me the interpretation
<06591>
thereof.
4:8
But at
<05705>
the last
<0318>
Daniel
<01841>
came in
<05922>
before me
<06925>_,
whose name
<08036>
[was] Belteshazzar
<01096>_,
according to the name
<08036>
of my god
<0426>_,
and in whom [is] the spirit
<07308>
of the holy
<06922>
gods
<0426>_:
and before
<06925>
him I told
<0560> (8754)
the dream
<02493>_,
[saying],
4:9
O Belteshazzar
<01096>_,
master
<07229>
of the magicians
<02749>_,
because I
<0576>
know
<03046> (8754)
that the spirit
<07308>
of the holy
<06922>
gods
<0426>
[is] in thee, and no
<03606> <03809>
secret
<07328>
troubleth
<0598> (8750)
thee, tell
<0560> (8747)
me the visions
<02376>
of my dream
<02493>
that I have seen
<02370> (8754)_,
and the interpretation
<06591>
thereof.
4:10
Thus [were] the visions
<02376>
of mine head
<07217>
in
<05922>
my bed
<04903>_;
I saw
<01934> (8754) <02370> (8751)_,
and behold
<0431>
a tree
<0363>
in the midst
<01459>
of the earth
<0772>_,
and the height
<07314>
thereof [was] great
<07690>_.
{I saw: Chaldee, I was seeing}
4:11
The tree
<0363>
grew
<07236> (8754)_,
and was strong
<08631> (8754)_,
and the height
<07314>
thereof reached
<04291> (8748)
unto heaven
<08065>_,
and the sight
<02379>
thereof to the end
<05491>
of all
<03606>
the earth
<0772>_:
4:12
The leaves
<06074>
thereof [were] fair
<08209>_,
and the fruit
<04>
thereof much
<07690>_,
and in it [was] meat
<04203>
for all
<03606>_:
the beasts
<02423>
of the field
<01251>
had shadow
<02927> (8681)
under
<08460>
it, and the fowls
<06853>
of the heaven
<08065>
dwelt
<01753> (8748)
in the boughs
<06056>
thereof, and all
<03606>
flesh
<01321>
was fed
<02110> (8729)
of it
<04481>_.
4:13
I saw
<01934> (8754) <02370> (8751)
in the visions
<02376>
of my head
<07217>
upon
<05922>
my bed
<04903>_,
and, behold
<0431>_,
a watcher
<05894>
and an holy one
<06922>
came down
<05182> (8750)
from
<04481>
heaven
<08065>_;
4:14
He cried
<07123> (8751)
aloud
<02429>_,
and said
<0560> (8750)
thus
<03652>_,
Hew down
<01414>
the tree
<0363>_,
and cut off
<07113> (8745)
his branches
<06056>_,
shake off
<05426> (8680)
his leaves
<06074>_,
and scatter
<0921> (8745)
his fruit
<04>_:
let the beasts
<02423>
get away
<05111> (8748)
from
<04481>
under it
<08479>_,
and the fowls
<06853>
from
<04481>
his branches
<06056>_:
{aloud: Chaldee, with might}
4:15
Nevertheless
<01297>
leave
<07662> (8747)
the stump
<06136>
of his roots
<08330>
in the earth
<0772>_,
even with a band
<0613>
of iron
<06523>
and brass
<05174>_,
in the tender grass
<01883>
of the field
<01251>_;
and let it be wet
<06647> (8721)
with the dew
<02920>
of heaven
<08065>_,
and [let] his portion
<02508>
[be] with
<05974>
the beasts
<02423>
in the grass
<06211>
of the earth
<0772>_:
4:16
Let his heart
<03825>
be changed
<08133> (8741)
from
<04481>
man's
<0606>_,
and let a beast's
<02423>
heart
<03825>
be given
<03052> (8725)
unto him; and let seven
<07655>
times
<05732>
pass
<02499>
over
<05922>
him.
4:17
This matter
<06600>
[is] by the decree
<01510>
of the watchers
<05894>_,
and the demand
<07595>
by the word
<03983>
of the holy ones
<06922>_:
to
<05705>
the intent
<01701>
that the living
<02417>
may know
<03046> (8748)
that the most High
<05943>
ruleth
<07990>
in the kingdom
<04437>
of men
<0606>_,
and giveth
<05415> (8748)
it to whomsoever
<04479>
he will
<06634> (8748)_,
and setteth up
<06966> (8681)
over
<05922>
it the basest
<08215>
of men
<0606>_.
4:18
This
<01836>
dream
<02493>
I
<0576>
king
<04430>
Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>
have seen
<02370> (8754)_.
Now thou
<0607>_,
O Belteshazzar
<01096>_,
declare
<0560> (8747)
the interpretation
<06591>
thereof, forasmuch as
<06903>
all
<03606>
the wise
<02445>
[men] of my kingdom
<04437>
are not
<03809>
able
<03202> (8750)
to make known
<03046> (8682)
unto me the interpretation
<06591>_:
but thou
<0607>
[art] able
<03546> (8751)_;
for the spirit
<07308>
of the holy
<06922>
gods
<0426>
[is] in thee.
4:19
Then
<0116>
Daniel
<01841>_,
whose name
<08036>
[was] Belteshazzar
<01096>_,
was astonied
<08075> (8733)
for one
<02298>
hour
<08160>_,
and his thoughts
<07476>
troubled
<0927> (8792)
him. The king
<04430>
spake
<06032> (8750)_,
and said
<0560> (8750)_,
Belteshazzar
<01096>_,
let not
<0409>
the dream
<02493>_,
or the interpretation
<06591>
thereof, trouble
<0927> (8792)
thee. Belteshazzar
<01096>
answered
<06032> (8750)
and said
<0560> (8750)_,
My lord
<04756>_,
the dream
<02493>
[be] to them that hate
<08131> (8750)
thee, and the interpretation
<06591>
thereof to thine enemies
<06146>_.
4:20
The tree
<0363>
that thou sawest
<02370> (8754)_,
which grew
<07236> (8754)_,
and was strong
<08631> (8754)_,
whose height
<07314>
reached
<04291> (8748)
unto the heaven
<08065>_,
and the sight
<02379>
thereof to all
<03606>
the earth
<0772>_;
4:21
Whose leaves
<06074>
[were] fair
<08209>_,
and the fruit
<04>
thereof much
<07690>_,
and in it [was] meat
<04203>
for all
<03606>_;
under
<08460>
which the beasts
<02423>
of the field
<01251>
dwelt
<01753> (8748)_,
and upon whose branches
<06056>
the fowls
<06853>
of the heaven
<08065>
had their habitation
<07932> (8748)_:
4:22
It [is] thou
<0607>_,
O king
<04430>_,
that art grown
<07236> (8754)
and become strong
<08631> (8748)_:
for thy greatness
<07238>
is grown
<07236> (8754)_,
and reacheth
<04291> (8754)
unto heaven
<08065>_,
and thy dominion
<07985>
to the end
<05491>
of the earth
<0772>_.
4:23
And whereas the king
<04430>
saw
<02370> (8754)
a watcher
<05894>
and an holy one
<06922>
coming down
<05182> (8750)
from
<04481>
heaven
<08065>_,
and saying
<0560> (8750)_,
Hew
<01414> (0)
the tree
<0363>
down
<01414>_,
and destroy
<02255> (8740)
it; yet
<01297>
leave
<07662> (8747)
the stump
<06136>
of the roots
<08330>
thereof in the earth
<0772>_,
even with a band
<0613>
of iron
<06523>
and brass
<05174>_,
in the tender grass
<01883>
of the field
<01251>_;
and let it be wet
<06647> (8721)
with the dew
<02920>
of heaven
<08065>_,
and [let] his portion
<02508>
[be] with
<05974>
the beasts
<02423>
of the field
<01251>_,
till
<05705>
seven
<07655>
times
<05732>
pass
<02499>
over
<05922>
him;
4:24
This
<01836>
[is] the interpretation
<06591>_,
O king
<04430>_,
and this
<01932>
[is] the decree
<01510>
of the most High
<05943>_,
which is come
<04291> (8754)
upon
<05922>
my lord
<04756>
the king
<04430>_:
4:25
That they shall drive
<02957> (8751)
thee from
<04481>
men
<0606>_,
and thy dwelling
<04070>
shall be
<01934> (8748)
with
<05974>
the beasts
<02423>
of the field
<01251>_,
and they shall make thee to eat
<02939> (8748)
grass
<06211>
as oxen
<08450>_,
and they shall wet
<06647> (8743)
thee with the dew
<02920>
of heaven
<08065>_,
and seven
<07655>
times
<05732>
shall pass
<02499>
over
<05922>
thee, till
<05705>
thou know
<03046> (8748)
that the most High
<05943>
ruleth
<07990>
in the kingdom
<04437>
of men
<0606>_,
and giveth
<05415> (8748)
it to whomsoever
<04479>
he will
<06634> (8748)_.
4:26
And whereas they commanded
<0560> (8754)
to leave
<07662> (8749)
the stump
<06136>
of the tree
<0363>
roots
<08330>_;
thy kingdom
<04437>
shall be sure
<07011>
unto thee, after
<04481>
that thou shalt have known
<03046> (8748)
that the heavens
<08065>
do rule
<07990>_.
4:27
Wherefore
<03861>_,
O king
<04430>_,
let my counsel
<04431>
be acceptable
<08232> (8748)
unto thee
<05922>_,
and break off
<06562> (8747)
thy sins
<02408>
by righteousness
<06665>_,
and thine iniquities
<05758>
by shewing mercy
<02604> (8749)
to the poor
<06033> (8750)_;
if
<02006>
it may be
<01934> (8748)
a lengthening
<0754>
of thy tranquillity
<07963>_.
{a lengthening...: or, an healing of thine error}
4:28
All
<03606>
this came
<04291> (8754)
upon
<05922>
the king
<04430>
Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>_.
4:29
At the end
<07118>
of twelve
<08648> <06236>
months
<03393>
he walked
<01934> (8754) <01981> (8750)
in
<05922>
the palace
<01965>
of the kingdom
<04437>
of Babylon
<0895>_.
{in: or, upon}
4:30
The king
<04430>
spake
<06032> (8750)_,
and said
<0560> (8750)_,
Is not
<03809>
this
<01932> <01668>
great
<07229>
Babylon
<0895>_,
that I
<0576>
have built
<01124> (8754)
for the house
<01005>
of the kingdom
<04437>
by the might
<08632>
of my power
<02632>_,
and for the honour
<03367>
of my majesty
<01923>_?
4:31
While
<05751>
the word
<04406>
[was] in the king's
<04430>
mouth
<06433>_,
there fell
<05308> (8754)
a voice
<07032>
from
<04481>
heaven
<08065>_,
[saying], O king
<04430>
Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>_,
to thee it is spoken
<0560> (8750)_;
The kingdom
<04437>
is departed
<05709> (8754)
from
<04481>
thee.
4:32
And they shall drive
<02957> (8751)
thee from
<04481>
men
<0606>_,
and thy dwelling
<04070>
[shall be] with
<05974>
the beasts
<02423>
of the field
<01251>_:
they shall make thee to eat
<02939> (8748)
grass
<06211>
as oxen
<08450>_,
and seven
<07655>
times
<05732>
shall pass
<02499>
over
<05922>
thee, until
<05705>
thou know
<03046> (8748)
that the most High
<05943>
ruleth
<07990>
in the kingdom
<04437>
of men
<0606>_,
and giveth
<05415> (8748)
it to whomsoever
<04479>
he will
<06634> (8748)_.
4:33
The same hour
<08160>
was the thing
<04406>
fulfilled
<05487> (8754)
upon
<05922>
Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>_:
and he was driven
<02957> (8752)
from
<04481>
men
<0606>_,
and did eat
<0399> (8748)
grass
<06211>
as oxen
<08450>_,
and his body
<01655>
was wet
<06647> (8721)
with the dew
<02920>
of heaven
<08065>_,
till
<05705>
his hairs
<08177>
were grown
<07236> (8754)
like eagles
<05403>_'
[feathers], and his nails
<02953>
like birds
<06853>_'
[claws].
4:34
And at the end
<07118>
of the days
<03118>
I
<0576>
Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>
lifted up
<05191> (8754)
mine eyes
<05870>
unto heaven
<08065>_,
and mine understanding
<04486>
returned
<08421> (8748)
unto me
<05922>_,
and I blessed
<01289> (8745)
the most High
<05943>_,
and I praised
<07624> (8745)
and honoured
<01922> (8745)
him that liveth
<02417>
for ever
<05957>_,
whose dominion
<07985>
[is] an everlasting
<05957>
dominion
<07985>_,
and his kingdom
<04437>
[is] from
<05974>
generation
<01859>
to generation
<01859>_:
4:35
And all
<03606>
the inhabitants
<01753> (8748)
of the earth
<0772>
[are] reputed
<02804> (8752)
as nothing
<03809>_:
and he doeth
<05648> (8751)
according to his will
<06634> (8749)
in the army
<02429>
of heaven
<08065>_,
and [among] the inhabitants
<01753> (8748)
of the earth
<0772>_:
and none
<03809>
can
