And it came to pass at the endH7093 of two fullH3117 yearsH8141, that PharaohH6547 dreamedH2492: and, behold, he stoodH5975 by the riverH2975.
And, behold, there came upH5927 out of the riverH2975 sevenH7651 wellH3303 favouredH4758 kineH6510 and fatfleshedH1277+H1320; and they fedH7462 in a meadowH260.
And, behold, sevenH7651 otherH312 kineH6510 came upH5927 after themH310 out of the riverH2975, illH7451 favouredH4758 and leanfleshedH1851+H1320; and stoodH5975 byH681 the other kineH6510 upon the brinkH8193 of the riverH2975.
And the illH7451 favouredH4758 and leanfleshedH1851+H1320 kineH6510 did eat upH398 the sevenH7651 wellH3303 favouredH4758 and fatH1277 kineH6510. So PharaohH6547 awokeH3364.
And he sleptH3462 and dreamedH2492 the second timeH8145: and, behold, sevenH7651 ears of cornH7641 came upH5927 upon oneH259 stalkH7070, rankH1277 and goodH2896. {rank: Heb. fat}
And, behold, sevenH7651 thinH1851 earsH7641 and blastedH7710 with the east windH6921 sprung upH6779 after themH310.
And the seven thinH1851 earsH7641 devouredH1104 the sevenH7651 rankH1277 and fullH4392 earsH7641. And PharaohH6547 awokeH3364, and, behold, it was a dreamH2472.
And it came to pass in the morningH1242 that his spiritH7307 was troubledH6470; and he sentH7971 and calledH7121 for all the magiciansH2748 of EgyptH4714, and all the wise menH2450 thereof: and PharaohH6547 toldH5608 them his dreamH2472; but there was none that could interpretH6622 them unto PharaohH6547.
Then spakeH1696 the chiefH8269 butlerH8248 unto PharaohH6547, sayingH559, I do rememberH2142 my faultsH2399 this dayH3117:
PharaohH6547 was wrothH7107 with his servantsH5650, and putH5414 me in wardH4929 in the captainH8269 of the guard'sH2876 houseH1004, both me and the chiefH8269 bakerH644:
And we dreamedH2492 a dreamH2472 in oneH259 nightH3915, I and he; we dreamedH2492 each manH376 according to the interpretationH6623 of his dreamH2472.
And there was there with us a young manH5288, an HebrewH5680, servantH5650 to the captainH8269 of the guardH2876; and we toldH5608 him, and he interpretedH6622 to us our dreamsH2472; to each manH376 according to his dreamH2472 he did interpretH6622.
And it came to pass, as he interpretedH6622 to us, so it was; me he restoredH7725 unto mine officeH3653, and him he hangedH8518.
Then PharaohH6547 sentH7971 and calledH7121 JosephH3130, and they brought him hastilyH7323 out of the dungeonH953: and he shavedH1548 himself, and changedH2498 his raimentH8071, and came inH935 unto PharaohH6547. {brought…: Heb. made him run}
And PharaohH6547 saidH559 unto JosephH3130, I have dreamedH2492 a dreamH2472, and there is none that can interpretH6622 it: and I have heardH8085 sayH559 of thee, that thou canst understandH8085 a dreamH2472 to interpretH6622 it. {thou…: or, when thou hearest a dream thou canst interpret it}
And JosephH3130 answeredH6030 PharaohH6547, sayingH559, It is not in meH1107: GodH430 shall giveH6030 PharaohH6547 an answerH6030 of peaceH7965.
And PharaohH6547 saidH1696 unto JosephH3130, In my dreamH2472, behold, I stoodH5975 upon the bankH8193 of the riverH2975:
And, behold, there came upH5927 out of the riverH2975 sevenH7651 kineH6510, fatfleshedH1277+H1320 and wellH3303 favouredH8389; and they fedH7462 in a meadowH260:
And, behold, sevenH7651 otherH312 kineH6510 came upH5927 after themH310, poorH1803 and veryH3966 illH7451 favouredH8389 and leanfleshedH7534+H1320, suchH2007 as I neverH3808 sawH7200 in all the landH776 of EgyptH4714 for badnessH7455:
And the leanH7534 and the ill favouredH7451 kineH6510 did eat upH398 the firstH7223 sevenH7651 fatH1277 kineH6510:
And when they had eaten them upH935+H7130, it could not be knownH3045 that they had eaten themH935+H7130; but they were stillH4758 ill favouredH7451, as at the beginningH8462. So I awokeH3364. {eaten…: Heb. come to the inward parts of them}
And I sawH7200 in my dreamH2472, and, behold, sevenH7651 earsH7641 came upH5927 in oneH259 stalkH7070, fullH4392 and goodH2896:
And, behold, sevenH7651 earsH7641, witheredH6798, thinH1851, and blastedH7710 with the east windH6921, sprung upH6779 after themH310: {withered: or, small}
And the thinH1851 earsH7641 devouredH1104 the sevenH7651 goodH2896 earsH7641: and I toldH559 this unto the magiciansH2748; but there was none that could declareH5046 it to me.
And JosephH3130 saidH559 unto PharaohH6547, The dreamH2472 of PharaohH6547 is oneH259: GodH430 hath shewedH5046 PharaohH6547 what he is about to doH6213.
The sevenH7651 goodH2896 kineH6510 are sevenH7651 yearsH8141; and the sevenH7651 goodH2896 earsH7641 are sevenH7651 yearsH8141: the dreamH2472 is oneH259.
And the sevenH7651 thinH7534 and ill favouredH7451 kineH6510 that came upH5927 after themH310 are sevenH7651 yearsH8141; and the sevenH7651 emptyH7386 earsH7641 blastedH7710 with the east windH6921 shall be sevenH7651 yearsH8141 of famineH7458.
This is the thingH1697 which I have spokenH1696 unto PharaohH6547: What GodH430 is about to doH6213 he shewethH7200 unto PharaohH6547.
Behold, there comeH935 sevenH7651 yearsH8141 of greatH1419 plentyH7647 throughout all the landH776 of EgyptH4714:
And there shall ariseH6965 after themH310 sevenH7651 yearsH8141 of famineH7458; and all the plentyH7647 shall be forgottenH7911 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714; and the famineH7458 shall consumeH3615 the landH776;
And the plentyH7647 shall not be knownH3045 in the landH776 by reasonH6440 of that famineH7458 followingH310+H3651; for it shall be veryH3966 grievousH3515. {grievous: Heb. heavy}
And for that the dreamH2472 was doubledH8138 unto PharaohH6547 twiceH6471; it is because the thingH1697 is establishedH3559 byH5973 GodH430, and GodH430 will shortlyH4116 bring it to passH6213. {established…: or, prepared of God}
Now therefore let PharaohH6547 look outH7200 a manH376 discreetH995 and wiseH2450, and setH7896 him over the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
Let PharaohH6547 doH6213 this, and let him appointH6485 officersH6496 over the landH776, and take up the fifth partH2567 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 in the sevenH7651 plenteousH7647 yearsH8141. {officers: or, overseers}
And let them gatherH6908 all the foodH400 of those goodH2896 yearsH8141 that comeH935, and lay upH6651 cornH1250 under the handH3027 of PharaohH6547, and let them keepH8104 foodH400 in the citiesH5892.
And that foodH400 shall be for storeH6487 to the landH776 against the sevenH7651 yearsH8141 of famineH7458, which shall be in the landH776 of EgyptH4714; that the landH776 perishH3772 not through the famineH7458. {perish…: Heb. be not cut off}
And the thingH1697 was goodH3190 in the eyesH5869 of PharaohH6547, and in the eyesH5869 of all his servantsH5650.
And PharaohH6547 saidH559 unto his servantsH5650, Can we findH4672 such a one as thisH2088 is, a manH376 in whomH834 the SpiritH7307 of GodH430 is?
And PharaohH6547 saidH559 unto JosephH3130, ForasmuchH310 as GodH430 hath shewedH3045 thee all this, there is none so discreetH995 and wiseH2450 as thou art:
Thou shalt beH1961 over my houseH1004, and according unto thy wordH6310 shall all my peopleH5971 be ruledH5401: only in the throneH3678 will I be greaterH1431 than thou. {be ruled: Heb. be armed, or, kiss}
And PharaohH6547 saidH559 unto JosephH3130, SeeH7200, I have setH5414 thee over all the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
And PharaohH6547 took offH5493 his ringH2885 from his handH3027, and putH5414 it upon Joseph'sH3130 handH3027, and arrayedH3847 him in vesturesH899 of fine linenH8336, and putH7760 a goldH2091 chainH7242 about his neckH6677; {fine…: or, silk}
And he made him to rideH7392 in the secondH4932 chariotH4818 which he had; and they criedH7121 before himH6440, Bow the kneeH86: and he madeH5414 him ruler over all the landH776 of EgyptH4714. {Bow…: or, Tender father: Heb. Abrech}
And PharaohH6547 saidH559 unto JosephH3130, I am PharaohH6547, and withoutH1107 thee shall no manH376 lift upH7311 his handH3027 or footH7272 in all the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
And PharaohH6547 calledH7121 Joseph'sH3130 nameH8034 ZaphnathpaaneahH6847; and he gaveH5414 him to wifeH802 AsenathH621 the daughterH1323 of PotipherahH6319 priestH3548 of OnH204. And JosephH3130 went outH3318 over all the landH776 of EgyptH4714. {Zaphnathpaaneah: which in the Coptic signifies, A revealer of secrets, or, The man to whom secrets are revealed} {priest: or, prince}
And JosephH3130 was thirtyH7970 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he stoodH5975 beforeH6440 PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714. And JosephH3130 went outH3318 from the presenceH6440 of PharaohH6547, and went throughoutH5674 all the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
And in the sevenH7651 plenteousH7647 yearsH8141 the earthH776 brought forthH6213 by handfulsH7062.
And he gathered upH6908 all the foodH400 of the sevenH7651 yearsH8141, which were in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and laid upH5414 the foodH400 in the citiesH5892: the foodH400 of the fieldH7704, which was round aboutH5439 every cityH5892, laid he upH5414 in the sameH8432.
And JosephH3130 gatheredH6651 cornH1250 as the sandH2344 of the seaH3220, veryH3966 muchH7235, until he leftH2308 numberingH5608; for it was withoutH369 numberH4557.
And unto JosephH3130 were bornH3205 twoH8147 sonsH1121 before the yearsH8141 of famineH7458 cameH935, which AsenathH621 the daughterH1323 of PotipherahH6319 priestH3548 of OnH204 bareH3205 unto him. {priest: or, prince}
And JosephH3130 calledH7121 the nameH8034 of the firstbornH1060 ManassehH4519: For GodH430, said he, hath made me forgetH5382 all my toilH5999, and all my father'sH1 houseH1004. {Manasseh: that is, Forgetting}
And the nameH8034 of the secondH8145 calledH7121 he EphraimH669: For GodH430 hath caused me to be fruitfulH6509 in the landH776 of my afflictionH6040. {Ephraim: that is, Fruitful}
And the sevenH7651 yearsH8141 of plenteousnessH7647, that was in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, were endedH3615.
And the sevenH7651 yearsH8141 of dearthH7458 beganH2490 to comeH935, according as JosephH3130 had saidH559: and the dearthH7458 was in all landsH776; but in all the landH776 of EgyptH4714 there was breadH3899.
And when all the landH776 of EgyptH4714 was famishedH7456, the peopleH5971 criedH6817 to PharaohH6547 for breadH3899: and PharaohH6547 saidH559 unto all the EgyptiansH4714, GoH3212 unto JosephH3130; what he saithH559 to you, doH6213.
And the famineH7458 was over all the faceH6440 of the earthH776: And JosephH3130 openedH6605 all the storehouses, and soldH7666 unto the EgyptiansH4714; and the famineH7458 waxed soreH2388 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714. {all the storehouses: Heb. all wherein was}
And all countriesH776 cameH935 into EgyptH4714 to JosephH3130 for to buyH7666 corn; because that the famineH7458 was so soreH2388 in all landsH776.

And JosephH3130 came inH935 unto them in the morningH1242, and lookedH7200 upon them, and, behold, they were sadH2196.
Then PharaohH6547 also calledH7121 the wise menH2450 and the sorcerersH3784: now the magiciansH2748 of EgyptH4714, they also didH6213 in like mannerH3651 with their enchantmentsH3858.
NowG1161 when JesusG2424 was bornG1080 inG1722 BethlehemG965 of JudaeaG2449 inG1722 the daysG2250 of HerodG2264 the kingG935, beholdG2400, there cameG3854 wise menG3097 fromG575 the eastG395 toG1519 JerusalemG2414,
And they saidH559 unto him, We have dreamedH2492 a dreamH2472, and there is no interpreterH6622 of it. And JosephH3130 saidH559 unto them, Do not interpretationsH6623 belong to GodH430? tell meH5608 them, I pray you.
And in the secondH8147 yearH8141 of the reignH4438 of NebuchadnezzarH5019 NebuchadnezzarH5019 dreamedH2492 dreamsH2472, wherewith his spiritH7307 was troubledH6470, and his sleepH8142 brakeH1961 from him.
Then the kingH4428 commandedH559 to callH7121 the magiciansH2748, and the astrologersH825, and the sorcerersH3784, and the ChaldeansH3778, for to shewH5046 the kingH4428 his dreamsH2472. So they cameH935 and stoodH5975 beforeH6440 the kingH4428.
And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto them, I have dreamedH2492 a dreamH2472, and my spiritH7307 was troubledH6470 to knowH3045 the dreamH2472.
And the magiciansH2748 of EgyptH4714 didH6213 so with their enchantmentsH3909: and Pharaoh'sH6547 heartH3820 was hardenedH2388, neither did he hearkenH8085 unto them; as the LORDH3068 had saidH1696.
AndG2532 MosesG3475 was learnedG3811 in allG3956 the wisdomG4678 of the EgyptiansG124, andG1161 wasG2258 mightyG1415 inG1722 wordsG3056 andG2532 inG1722 deedsG2041.
He disappointethH6565 the devicesH4284 of the craftyH6175, so that their handsH3027 cannot performH6213 their enterpriseH8454. {their enterprise: or, any thing}
I sawH2370 a dreamH2493 which made me afraidH1763, and the thoughtsH2031 uponH5922 my bedH4903 and the visionsH2376 of my headH7217 troubledH927 me.
And the magiciansH2748 didH6213 so with their enchantmentsH3909, and brought upH5927 frogsH6854 upon the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
He takethH3920 the wiseH2450 in their own craftinessH6193: and the counselH6098 of the frowardH6617 is carried headlongH4116.
ThenH116 DanielH1841, whose nameH8036 was BelteshazzarH1096, was astoniedH8075 for oneH2298 hourH8160, and his thoughtsH7476 troubledH927 him. The kingH4430 spakeH6032, and saidH560, BelteshazzarH1096, let notH409 the dreamH2493, or the interpretationH6591 thereof, troubleH927 thee. BelteshazzarH1096 answeredH6032 and saidH560, My lordH4756, the dreamH2493 be to them that hateH8131 thee, and the interpretationH6591 thereof to thine enemiesH6146.
And the magiciansH2748 didH6213 so with their enchantmentsH3909 to bring forthH3318 liceH3654, but they couldH3201 not: so there were liceH3654 upon manH120, and upon beastH929.
The secretH5475 of the LORDH3068 is with them that fearH3373 him; and he will shewH3045 them his covenantH1285. {and…: or, and his covenant to make them know it}
ThenH116 the king'sH4430 countenanceH2122 was changedH8133, and his thoughtsH7476 troubledH927 him, so that the jointsH7001 of his loinsH2783 were loosedH8271, and his kneesH755 smoteH5368 oneH1668 against anotherH1668. {countenance: Cald. brightnesses} {was changed: Cald. changed it} {joints: or, girdles: Cald. bindings, or, knots}
Then the magiciansH2748 saidH559 unto PharaohH6547, This is the fingerH676 of GodH430: and Pharaoh'sH6547 heartH3820 was hardenedH2388, and he hearkenedH8085 not unto them; as the LORDH3068 had saidH1696.
Surely the princesH8269 of ZoanH6814 are foolsH191, the counselH6098 of the wiseH2450 counsellorsH3289 of PharaohH6547 is become brutishH1197: how sayH559 ye unto PharaohH6547, I am the sonH1121 of the wiseH2450, the sonH1121 of ancientH6924 kingsH4428?
WhereH335 are they? whereH645 are thy wiseH2450 men? and let them tellH5046 thee now, and let them knowH3045 what the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 hath purposedH3289 upon EgyptH4714.
The princesH8269 of ZoanH6814 are become foolsH2973, the princesH8269 of NophH5297 are deceivedH5377; they have also seducedH8582 EgyptH4714, even they that are the stayH6438 of the tribesH7626 thereof. {they that…: or, governors: Heb. corners}
HithertoH5705+H3542 is the endH5491 of the matterH4406. As for meH576 DanielH1841, my cogitationsH7476 muchH7690 troubledH927 me, and my countenanceH2122 changedH8133 in meH5922: but I keptH5202 the matterH4406 in my heartH3821.
And the magiciansH2748 couldH3201 not standH5975 beforeH6440 MosesH4872 becauseH6440 of the boilsH7822; for the boilH7822 was upon the magiciansH2748, and upon all the EgyptiansH4714.
Therefore, behold, I will proceedH3254 to do a marvellous workH6381 among this peopleH5971, even a marvellous workH6381 and a wonderH6382: for the wisdomH2451 of their wiseH2450 men shall perishH6, and the understandingH998 of their prudentH995 men shall be hidH5641. {proceed: Heb. add}
And I DanielH1840 faintedH1961, and was sickH2470 certain daysH3117; afterward I rose upH6965, and didH6213 the king'sH4428 businessH4399; and I was astonishedH8074 at the visionH4758, but none understoodH995 it.
RegardH6437 not them that have familiar spiritsH178, neither seekH1245 after wizardsH3049, to be defiledH2930 by them: I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430.
Then spakeH1696 the ChaldeansH3778 to the kingH4428 in SyriackH762, O kingH4430, liveH2418 for everH5957: tellH560 thy servantsH5649 the dreamH2493, and we will shewH2324 the interpretationH6591.
The kingH4430 answeredH6032 and saidH560 to the ChaldeansH3779, The thingH4406 is goneH230 from meH4481: ifH2006 ye will notH3809 make knownH3046 unto me the dreamH2493, with the interpretationH6591 thereof, ye shall be cutH5648 in piecesH1917, and your housesH1005 shall be madeH7761 a dunghillH5122. {cut…: Cald. made pieces}
But ifH2006 ye shewH2324 the dreamH2493, and the interpretationH6591 thereof, ye shall receiveH6902 ofH4481 meH6925 giftsH4978 and rewardsH5023 and greatH7690 honourH3367: thereforeH3861 shewH2324 me the dreamH2493, and the interpretationH6591 thereof. {rewards: or, fee}
They answeredH6032 againH8579 and saidH560, Let the kingH4430 tellH560 his servantsH5649 the dreamH2493, and we will shewH2324 the interpretationH6591 of it.
The kingH4430 answeredH6032 and saidH560, IH576 knowH3046 ofH4481 certaintyH3330 that yeH608 would gainH2084 the timeH5732, becauseH6903+H3606 ye seeH2370 the thingH4406 is goneH230 fromH4481 me. {gain: Cald. buy}
But ifH2006 ye will notH3809 make knownH3046 unto me the dreamH2493, there is but oneH1932+H2298 decreeH1882 for you: for ye have preparedH2164 lyingH3538 and corruptH7844 wordsH4406 to speakH560 beforeH6925 me, tillH5705 the timeH5732 be changedH8133: thereforeH3861 tellH560 me the dreamH2493, and I shall knowH3046 thatH1768 ye can shewH2324 me the interpretationH6591 thereof.
The ChaldeansH3779 answeredH6032 beforeH6925 the kingH4430, and saidH560, There isH383 notH3809 a manH606 uponH5922 the earthH3007 that canH3202 shewH2324 the king'sH4430 matterH4406: thereforeH6903+H1768 there is noH3809 kingH4430, lordH7229, nor rulerH7990, that askedH7593 suchH1836 thingsH4406 at anyH3606 magicianH2749, or astrologerH826, or ChaldeanH3779.
And it is a rareH3358 thingH4406 that the kingH4430 requirethH7593, and there isH383 noneH3809 otherH321 that can shewH2324 it beforeH6925 the kingH4430, exceptH3861 the godsH426, whose dwellingH4070 isH383 notH3809 withH5974 fleshH1321.
When I heardH8085, my bellyH990 trembledH7264; my lipsH8193 quiveredH6750 at the voiceH6963: rottennessH7538 enteredH935 into my bonesH6106, and I trembledH7264 in myself, that I might restH5117 in the dayH3117 of troubleH6869: when he cometh upH5927 unto the peopleH5971, he will invade them with his troopsH1464. {invade…: or, cut them in pieces}
And the soulH5315 that turnethH6437 afterH413 such as have familiar spiritsH178, and afterH310 wizardsH3049, to go a whoringH2181 afterH310 them, I will even setH5414 my faceH6440 against that soulH5315, and will cut him offH3772 from amongH7130 his peopleH5971.
DanielH1841 answeredH6032 in the presenceH6925 of the kingH4430, and saidH560, The secretH7328 which the kingH4430 hath demandedH7593 cannotH3202+H3809 the wiseH2445 men, the astrologersH826, the magiciansH2749, the soothsayersH1505, shewH2324 unto the kingH4430;
When thou art comeH935 into the landH776 which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 givethH5414 thee, thou shalt not learnH3925 to doH6213 after the abominationsH8441 of those nationsH1471.
There shall not be foundH4672 among you any one that maketh his sonH1121 or his daughterH1323 to passH5674 through the fireH784, or that usethH7080 divinationH7081, or an observer of timesH6049, or an enchanterH5172, or a witchH3784,
Or a charmerH2266+H2267, or a consulterH7592 with familiar spiritsH178, or a wizardH3049, or a necromancerH1875+H4191.
For all that doH6213 these things are an abominationH8441 unto the LORDH3068: and becauseH1558 of these abominationsH8441 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 doth drive them outH3423 from beforeH6440 thee.
Thou shalt be perfectH8549 with the LORDH3068 thy GodH430. {perfect: or, upright, or, sincere}
For these nationsH1471, which thou shalt possessH3423, hearkenedH8085 unto observers of timesH6049, and unto divinersH7080: but as for thee, the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath not sufferedH5414 thee so to do. {possess: or, inherit}
ButH1297 there isH383 a GodH426 in heavenH8065 that revealethH1541 secretsH7328, and maketh knownH3046 to the kingH4430 NebuchadnezzarH5020 whatH4101 shall beH1934 in the latterH320 daysH3118. Thy dreamH2493, and the visionsH2376 of thy headH7217 uponH5922 thy bedH4903, are theseH1836; {maketh…: Cald. hath made known}
And when they shall sayH559 unto you, SeekH1875 unto them that have familiar spiritsH178, and unto wizardsH3049 that peepH6850, and that mutterH1897: should not a peopleH5971 seekH1875 unto their GodH430? for the livingH2416 to the deadH4191?
ThenH116 cameH5954 in allH3606 the king'sH4430 wiseH2445 men: but they couldH3546 notH3809 readH7123 the writingH3792, nor make knownH3046 to the kingH4430 the interpretationH6591 thereof.
And the spiritH7307 of EgyptH4714 shall failH1238 in the midstH7130 thereof; and I will destroyH1104 the counselH6098 thereof: and they shall seekH1875 to the idolsH457, and to the charmersH328, and to them that have familiar spiritsH178, and to the wizardsH3049. {fail: Heb. be emptied} {destroy: Heb. swallow up}
ForG1063 it is writtenG1125, I will destroyG622 the wisdomG4678 of the wiseG4680, andG2532 will bring to nothingG114 the understandingG4907 of the prudentG4908.
Therefore, behold, I will proceedH3254 to do a marvellous workH6381 among this peopleH5971, even a marvellous workH6381 and a wonderH6382: for the wisdomH2451 of their wiseH2450 men shall perishH6, and the understandingH998 of their prudentH995 men shall be hidH5641. {proceed: Heb. add}
LetG1818 no manG3367 deceiveG1818 himselfG1438. If any manG1536 amongG1722 youG5213 seemethG1380 to beG1511 wiseG4680 inG1722 thisG5129 worldG165, let him becomeG1096 a foolG3474, thatG2443 he may beG1096 wiseG4680.
ForG1063 the wisdomG4678 of thisG5127 worldG2889 isG2076 foolishnessG3472 withG3844 GodG2316. ForG1063 it is writtenG1125, He takethG1405 the wiseG4680 inG1722 their ownG846 craftinessG3834.
AndG2532 againG3825, The LordG2962 knowethG1097 the thoughtsG1261 of the wiseG4680, thatG3754 they areG1526 vainG3152.
StandH5975 now with thine enchantmentsH2267, and with the multitudeH7230 of thy sorceriesH3785, whereinH834 thou hast labouredH3021 from thy youthH5271; if so be thou shalt be ableH3201 to profitH3276, if so be thou mayest prevailH6206.
Thou art weariedH3811 in the multitudeH7230 of thy counselsH6098. Let now the astrologersH1895+H8064, the stargazersH2374+H3556, the monthlyH2320 prognosticatorsH3045, stand upH5975, and saveH3467 thee from these things that shall comeH935 upon thee. {astrologers: Heb. viewers of the heavens} {the monthly…: Heb. that give knowledge concerning the months}
And in all mattersH1697 of wisdomH2451 and understandingH998, that the kingH4428 enquiredH1245 of them, he foundH4672 them ten timesH6235 betterH3027 than all the magiciansH2748 and astrologersH825 that were in all his realmH4438. {wisdom…: Heb. wisdom of understanding}
Then the kingH4428 commandedH559 to callH7121 the magiciansH2748, and the astrologersH825, and the sorcerersH3784, and the ChaldeansH3778, for to shewH5046 the kingH4428 his dreamsH2472. So they cameH935 and stoodH5975 beforeH6440 the kingH4428.
ThenH116 cameH5954 in the magiciansH2749, the astrologersH826, the ChaldeansH3779, and the soothsayersH1505: and IH576 toldH560 the dreamH2493 beforeH6925 them; but they did notH3809 make knownH3046 unto me the interpretationH6591 thereof.
The kingH4430 criedH7123 aloudH2429 to bringH5954 in the astrologersH826, the ChaldeansH3779, and the soothsayersH1505. And the kingH4430 spakeH6032, and saidH560 to the wiseH2445 men of BabylonH895, WhosoeverH606+H3606 shall readH7123 thisH1836 writingH3792, and shewH2324 me the interpretationH6591 thereof, shall be clothedH3848 with scarletH711, and have a chainH2002 of goldH1722 aboutH5922 his neckH6676, and shall be the thirdH8523 rulerH7981 in the kingdomH4437. {aloud: Cald. with might} {scarlet: or, purple}
There isH383 a manH1400 in thy kingdomH4437, in whom is the spiritH7308 of the holyH6922 godsH426; and in the daysH3118 of thy fatherH2 lightH5094 and understandingH7924 and wisdomH2452, like the wisdomH2452 of the godsH426, was foundH7912 in him; whom the kingH4430 NebuchadnezzarH5020 thy fatherH2, the kingH4430, I say, thy fatherH2, madeH6966 masterH7229 of the magiciansH2749, astrologersH826, ChaldeansH3779, and soothsayersH1505; {father: or, grandfather}
ThenG1161 certainG5100 philosophersG5386 of the EpicureansG1946, andG2532 of the StoicksG4770, encounteredG4820 himG846. AndG2532 someG5100 saidG3004, WhatG5101 willG302+G2309 thisG3778 babblerG4691 sayG3004+G1161? other some, He seemethG1380 to beG1511 a setter forthG2604 of strangeG3581 godsG1140: becauseG3754 he preachedG2097 unto themG846 JesusG2424, andG2532 the resurrectionG386. {babbler: or, base fellow}
