NebuchadnezzarH5020 the kingH4430, unto allH3606 peopleH5972, nationsH524, and languagesH3961, that dwellH1753 in allH3606 the earthH772; PeaceH8001 be multipliedH7680 unto you.
I thoughtH6925 it goodH8232 to shewH2324 the signsH852 and wondersH8540 that the highH5943 GodH426 hath wroughtH5648 towardH5974 me. {I thought…: Cald. It was seemly before me}
HowH4101 greatH7260 are his signsH852! and howH4101 mightyH8624 are his wondersH8540! his kingdomH4437 is an everlastingH5957 kingdomH4437, and his dominionH7985 is fromH5974 generationH1859 to generationH1859.
IH576 NebuchadnezzarH5020 wasH1934 at restH7954 in mine houseH1005, and flourishingH7487 in my palaceH1965:
I sawH2370 a dreamH2493 which made me afraidH1763, and the thoughtsH2031 uponH5922 my bedH4903 and the visionsH2376 of my headH7217 troubledH927 me.
ThereforeH4481 madeH7761 IH4481 a decreeH2942 to bringH5954 in allH3606 the wiseH2445 men of BabylonH895 beforeH6925 me, that they might make knownH3046 unto me the interpretationH6591 of the dreamH2493.
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.
But atH5705 the lastH318 DanielH1841 came inH5922 before meH6925, whose nameH8036 was BelteshazzarH1096, according to the nameH8036 of my godH426, and in whom is the spiritH7308 of the holyH6922 godsH426: and beforeH6925 him I toldH560 the dreamH2493, saying,
O BelteshazzarH1096, masterH7229 of the magiciansH2749, because IH576 knowH3046 that the spiritH7308 of the holyH6922 godsH426 is in thee, and noH3606+H3809 secretH7328 troublethH598 thee, tellH560 me the visionsH2376 of my dreamH2493 that I have seenH2370, and the interpretationH6591 thereof.
Thus were the visionsH2376 of mine headH7217 inH5922 my bedH4903; I sawH1934+H2370, and beholdH431 a treeH363 in the midstH1459 of the earthH772, and the heightH7314 thereof was greatH7690. {I saw: Cald. I was seeing}
The treeH363 grewH7236, and was strongH8631, and the heightH7314 thereof reachedH4291 unto heavenH8065, and the sightH2379 thereof to the endH5491 of allH3606 the earthH772:
The leavesH6074 thereof were fairH8209, and the fruitH4 thereof muchH7690, and in it was meatH4203 for allH3606: the beastsH2423 of the fieldH1251 had shadowH2927 underH8460 it, and the fowlsH6853 of the heavenH8065 dweltH1753 in the boughsH6056 thereof, and allH3606 fleshH1321 was fedH2110 of itH4481.
I sawH1934+H2370 in the visionsH2376 of my headH7217 uponH5922 my bedH4903, and, beholdH431, a watcherH5894 and an holy oneH6922 came downH5182 fromH4481 heavenH8065;
He criedH7123 aloudH2429, and saidH560 thusH3652, Hew downH1414 the treeH363, and cut offH7113 his branchesH6056, shake offH5426 his leavesH6074, and scatterH921 his fruitH4: let the beastsH2423 get awayH5111 fromH4481 under itH8479, and the fowlsH6853 fromH4481 his branchesH6056: {aloud: Cald. with might}
NeverthelessH1297 leaveH7662 the stumpH6136 of his rootsH8330 in the earthH772, even with a bandH613 of ironH6523 and brassH5174, in the tender grassH1883 of the fieldH1251; and let it be wetH6647 with the dewH2920 of heavenH8065, and let his portionH2508 be withH5974 the beastsH2423 in the grassH6211 of the earthH772:
Let his heartH3825 be changedH8133 fromH4481 man'sH606, and let a beast'sH2423 heartH3825 be givenH3052 unto him; and let sevenH7655 timesH5732 passH2499 overH5922 him.
This matterH6600 is by the decreeH1510 of the watchersH5894, and the demandH7595 by the wordH3983 of the holy onesH6922: toH5705 the intentH1701 that the livingH2417 may knowH3046 that the most HighH5943 rulethH7990 in the kingdomH4437 of menH606, and givethH5415 it to whomsoeverH4479 he willH6634, and setteth upH6966 overH5922 it the basestH8215 of menH606.
ThisH1836 dreamH2493 IH576 kingH4430 NebuchadnezzarH5020 have seenH2370. Now thouH607, O BelteshazzarH1096, declareH560 the interpretationH6591 thereof, forasmuch asH6903 allH3606 the wiseH2445 men of my kingdomH4437 are notH3809 ableH3202 to make knownH3046 unto me the interpretationH6591: but thouH607 art ableH3546; for the spiritH7308 of the holyH6922 godsH426 is in thee.
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.
The treeH363 that thou sawestH2370, which grewH7236, and was strongH8631, whose heightH7314 reachedH4291 unto the heavenH8065, and the sightH2379 thereof to allH3606 the earthH772;
Whose leavesH6074 were fairH8209, and the fruitH4 thereof muchH7690, and in it was meatH4203 for allH3606; underH8460 which the beastsH2423 of the fieldH1251 dweltH1753, and upon whose branchesH6056 the fowlsH6853 of the heavenH8065 had their habitationH7932:
It is thouH607, O kingH4430, that art grownH7236 and become strongH8631: for thy greatnessH7238 is grownH7236, and reachethH4291 unto heavenH8065, and thy dominionH7985 to the endH5491 of the earthH772.
And whereas the kingH4430 sawH2370 a watcherH5894 and an holy oneH6922 coming downH5182 fromH4481 heavenH8065, and sayingH560, HewH1414 the treeH363 downH1414, and destroyH2255 it; yetH1297 leaveH7662 the stumpH6136 of the rootsH8330 thereof in the earthH772, even with a bandH613 of ironH6523 and brassH5174, in the tender grassH1883 of the fieldH1251; and let it be wetH6647 with the dewH2920 of heavenH8065, and let his portionH2508 be withH5974 the beastsH2423 of the fieldH1251, tillH5705 sevenH7655 timesH5732 passH2499 overH5922 him;
ThisH1836 is the interpretationH6591, O kingH4430, and thisH1932 is the decreeH1510 of the most HighH5943, which is comeH4291 uponH5922 my lordH4756 the kingH4430:
That they shall driveH2957 thee fromH4481 menH606, and thy dwellingH4070 shall beH1934 withH5974 the beastsH2423 of the fieldH1251, and they shall make thee to eatH2939 grassH6211 as oxenH8450, and they shall wetH6647 thee with the dewH2920 of heavenH8065, and sevenH7655 timesH5732 shall passH2499 overH5922 thee, tillH5705 thou knowH3046 that the most HighH5943 rulethH7990 in the kingdomH4437 of menH606, and givethH5415 it to whomsoeverH4479 he willH6634.
And whereas they commandedH560 to leaveH7662 the stumpH6136 of the treeH363 rootsH8330; thy kingdomH4437 shall be sureH7011 unto thee, afterH4481 that thou shalt have knownH3046 that the heavensH8065 do ruleH7990.
WhereforeH3861, O kingH4430, let my counselH4431 be acceptableH8232 unto theeH5922, and break offH6562 thy sinsH2408 by righteousnessH6665, and thine iniquitiesH5758 by shewing mercyH2604 to the poorH6033; ifH2006 it may beH1934 a lengtheningH754 of thy tranquillityH7963. {a lengthening…: or, an healing of thine error}
AllH3606 this cameH4291 uponH5922 the kingH4430 NebuchadnezzarH5020.
At the endH7118 of twelveH8648+H6236 monthsH3393 he walkedH1934+H1981 inH5922 the palaceH1965 of the kingdomH4437 of BabylonH895. {in: or, upon}
The kingH4430 spakeH6032, and saidH560, Is notH3809 thisH1932+H1668 greatH7229 BabylonH895, that IH576 have builtH1124 for the houseH1005 of the kingdomH4437 by the mightH8632 of my powerH2632, and for the honourH3367 of my majestyH1923?
WhileH5751 the wordH4406 was in the king'sH4430 mouthH6433, there fellH5308 a voiceH7032 fromH4481 heavenH8065, saying, O kingH4430 NebuchadnezzarH5020, to thee it is spokenH560; The kingdomH4437 is departedH5709 fromH4481 thee.
And they shall driveH2957 thee fromH4481 menH606, and thy dwellingH4070 shall be withH5974 the beastsH2423 of the fieldH1251: they shall make thee to eatH2939 grassH6211 as oxenH8450, and sevenH7655 timesH5732 shall passH2499 overH5922 thee, untilH5705 thou knowH3046 that the most HighH5943 rulethH7990 in the kingdomH4437 of menH606, and givethH5415 it to whomsoeverH4479 he willH6634.
The same hourH8160 was the thingH4406 fulfilledH5487 uponH5922 NebuchadnezzarH5020: and he was drivenH2957 fromH4481 menH606, and did eatH399 grassH6211 as oxenH8450, and his bodyH1655 was wetH6647 with the dewH2920 of heavenH8065, tillH5705 his hairsH8177 were grownH7236 like eagles'H5403 feathers, and his nailsH2953 like birds'H6853 claws.
And at the endH7118 of the daysH3118 IH576 NebuchadnezzarH5020 lifted upH5191 mine eyesH5870 unto heavenH8065, and mine understandingH4486 returnedH8421 unto meH5922, and I blessedH1289 the most HighH5943, and I praisedH7624 and honouredH1922 him that livethH2417 for everH5957, whose dominionH7985 is an everlastingH5957 dominionH7985, and his kingdomH4437 is fromH5974 generationH1859 to generationH1859:
And allH3606 the inhabitantsH1753 of the earthH772 are reputedH2804 as nothingH3809: and he doethH5648 according to his willH6634 in the armyH2429 of heavenH8065, and among the inhabitantsH1753 of the earthH772: and noneH3809 canH383 stayH4223 his handH3028, or sayH560 unto him, WhatH4101 doestH5648 thou?
At the same timeH2166 my reasonH4486 returnedH8421 unto meH5922; and for the gloryH3367 of my kingdomH4437, mine honourH1923 and brightnessH2122 returnedH8421 unto meH5922; and my counsellorsH1907 and my lordsH7261 soughtH1156 unto meH5922; and I was establishedH8627 in my kingdomH4437, and excellentH3493 majestyH7238 was addedH3255 unto me.
NowH3705 IH576 NebuchadnezzarH5020 praiseH7624 and extolH7313 and honourH1922 the KingH4430 of heavenH8065, allH3606 whose worksH4567 are truthH7187, and his waysH735 judgmentH1780: and those that walkH1981 in prideH1467 he is ableH3202 to abaseH8214.

And JoshuaH3091 saidH559 unto AchanH5912, My sonH1121, giveH7760, I pray thee, gloryH3519 to the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, and makeH5414 confessionH8426 unto him; and tellH5046 me now what thou hast doneH6213; hideH3582 it not from me.
ThenH116 NebuchadnezzarH5020 came nearH7127 to the mouthH8651 of the burningH3345 fieryH5135 furnaceH861, and spakeH6032, and saidH560, ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and AbednegoH5665, ye servantsH5649 of the most highH5943 GodH426, come forthH5312, and comeH858 hither. ThenH116 ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and AbednegoH5665, came forthH5312 ofH4481 the midstH1459 of the fireH5135. {mouth: Cald. door}
DeliverH5337 me from bloodguiltinessH1818, O GodH430, thou GodH430 of my salvationH8668: and my tongueH3956 shall sing aloudH7442 of thy righteousnessH6666. {bloodguiltiness: Heb. bloods}
ComeH3212 and hearH8085, all ye that fearH3373 GodH430, and I will declareH5608 what he hath doneH6213 for my soulH5315.
Now also whenH5704 I am oldH2209 and grayheadedH7872, O GodH430, forsakeH5800 me not; until I have shewedH5046 thy strengthH2220 unto this generationH1755, and thy powerH1369 to every one that is to comeH935. {when…: Heb. unto old age and gray hairs} {thy strength: Heb. thine arm}
IG1473 amG1510 verilyG3303 a manG435 which am a JewG2453, bornG1080 inG1722 TarsusG5019, a city in CiliciaG2791, yetG1161 brought upG397 inG1722 thisG5026 cityG4172 atG3844 the feetG4228 of GamalielG1059, and taughtG3811 accordingG2596 to the perfect mannerG195 of the lawG3551 of the fathersG3971, and wasG5225 zealousG2207 toward GodG2316, asG2531 yeG5210 allG3956 areG2075 this dayG4594.
And IG3739 persecutedG1377 thisG5026 wayG3598 untoG891 the deathG2288, bindingG1195 andG2532 deliveringG3860 intoG1519 prisonsG5438 bothG5037 menG435 andG2532 womenG1135.
AsG5613 alsoG2532 the high priestG749 doth bearG3140 meG3427 witnessG3140, andG2532 allG3956 the estate of the eldersG4244: fromG3844 whomG3739 alsoG2532 I receivedG1209 lettersG1992 untoG4314 the brethrenG80, andG2532 wentG4198 toG1519 DamascusG1154, to bringG71 them which wereG5607 thereG1566 boundG1210 untoG1519 JerusalemG2419, for toG2443 be punishedG5097.
AndG1161 it came to passG1096, that, as I madeG4198 myG3427 journeyG4198, andG2532 was come nighG1448 unto DamascusG1154 aboutG4012 noonG3314, suddenlyG1810 there shoneG4015 fromG1537 heavenG3772 a greatG2425 lightG5457 roundG4015 aboutG4012 meG1691.
AndG5037 I fellG4098 untoG1519 the groundG1475, andG2532 heardG191 a voiceG5456 sayingG3004 unto meG3427, SaulG4549, SaulG4549, whyG5101 persecutest thouG1377 meG3165?
AndG1161 IG1473 answeredG611, WhoG5101 art thouG1488, LordG2962? AndG5037 he saidG2036 untoG4314 meG3165, IG1473 amG1510 JesusG2424 of NazarethG3480, whomG3739 thouG4771 persecutestG1377.
AndG1161 they that wereG5607 withG4862 meG1698 sawG2300 indeedG3303 the lightG5457, andG2532 wereG1096 afraidG1719; butG1161 they heardG191 notG3756 the voiceG5456 of him that spakeG2980 to meG3427.
AndG1161 I saidG2036, WhatG5101 shall I doG4160, LordG2962? AndG1161 the LordG2962 saidG2036 untoG4314 meG3165, AriseG450, and goG4198 intoG1519 DamascusG1154; and thereG2546 it shall be toldG2980 theeG4671 ofG4012 all thingsG3956 whichG3739 are appointedG5021 for theeG4671 to doG4160.
AndG1161 whenG5613 I couldG1689 notG3756 seeG1689 forG575 the gloryG1391 of thatG1565 lightG5457, being led by the handG5496 ofG5259 them that wereG4895 with meG3427, I cameG2064 intoG1519 DamascusG1154.
AndG1161 oneG5100 AnaniasG367, a devoutG2152 manG435 accordingG2596 to the lawG3551, having a good reportG3140 ofG5259 allG3956 the JewsG2453 which dweltG2730 there,
CameG2064 untoG4314 meG3165, andG2532 stoodG2186, and saidG2036 unto meG3427, BrotherG80 SaulG4549, receive thy sightG308. AndG2504 the sameG846 hourG5610 IG2504 looked upG308 uponG1519 himG846.
AndG1161 he saidG2036, The GodG2316 of ourG2257 fathersG3962 hath chosenG4400 theeG4571, that thou shouldest knowG1097 hisG846 willG2307, andG2532 seeG1492 that Just OneG1342, andG2532 shouldest hearG191 the voiceG5456 ofG1537 hisG846 mouthG4750.
ForG3754 thou shalt beG2071 hisG846 witnessG3144 untoG4314 allG3956 menG444 of whatG3739 thou hast seenG3708 andG2532 heardG191.
AndG2532 nowG3568 whyG5101 tarriest thouG3195? ariseG450, and be baptizedG907, andG2532 wash awayG628 thyG4675 sinsG266, calling onG1941 the nameG3686 of the LordG2962.
A PsalmH4210 or SongH7892 for the sabbathH7676 dayH3117. It is a goodH2896 thing to give thanksH3034 unto the LORDH3068, and to sing praisesH2167 unto thy nameH8034, O most HighH5945:
IG1473 verilyG3303+G3767 thoughtG1380 with myselfG1683, that I oughtG1163 to doG4238 many thingsG4183 contraryG1727 toG4314 the nameG3686 of JesusG2424 of NazarethG3480.
Which thingG3739 IG4160 alsoG2532 didG4160 inG1722 JerusalemG2414: andG2532 manyG4183 of the saintsG40 didG2623 IG1473 shut upG2623 in prisonG5438, having receivedG2983 authorityG1849 fromG3844 the chief priestsG749; andG5037 when theyG846 were put to deathG337, I gaveG2702 my voiceG5586 against them.
AndG2532 I punishedG5097 themG846 oftG4178 inG2596 everyG3956 synagogueG4864, and compelledG315 them to blasphemeG987; andG5037 beingG1693 exceedinglyG4057 mad againstG1693 themG846, I persecutedG1377 them evenG2532 untoG1519+G2193 strangeG1854 citiesG4172.
WhereuponG1722+G3739 as I wentG4198 toG1519 DamascusG1154 withG3326 authorityG1849 andG2532 commissionG2011 fromG3844 the chief priestsG749,
At middayG2250+G3319, O kingG935, I sawG1492 inG2596 the wayG3598 a lightG5457 from heavenG3771, aboveG5228 the brightnessG2987 of the sunG2246, shining round aboutG4034 meG3165 andG2532 them which journeyedG4198 withG4862 meG1698.
AndG1161 when weG2257 wereG2667 allG3956 fallenG2667 toG1519 the earthG1093, I heardG191 a voiceG5456 speakingG2980 untoG4314 meG3165, andG2532 sayingG3004 in the HebrewG1446 tongueG1258, SaulG4549, SaulG4549, whyG5101 persecutest thouG1377 meG3165? it is hardG4642 for theeG4671 to kickG2979 againstG4314 the pricksG2759.
AndG1161 IG1473 saidG2036, WhoG5101 art thouG1488, LordG2962? AndG1161 he saidG2036, IG1473 amG1510 JesusG2424 whomG3739 thouG4771 persecutestG1377.
ButG235 riseG450, andG2532 standG2476 uponG1909 thyG4675 feetG4228: forG1063 I have appearedG3700 unto theeG4671 forG1519 this purposeG5124, to makeG4400 theeG4571 a ministerG5257 andG2532 a witnessG3144 bothG5037 of these things whichG3739 thou hast seenG1492, andG5037 of those things in the whichG3739 I will appearG3700 unto theeG4671;
