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 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}
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,
I sawH2370 a dreamH2493 which made me afraidH1763, and the thoughtsH2031 uponH5922 my bedH4903 and the visionsH2376 of my headH7217 troubledH927 me.
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 the kingH4430 madeH7236 DanielH1841 a great manH7236, and gaveH3052 him manyH7690 greatH7260 giftsH4978, and made him rulerH7981 overH5922 the wholeH3606 provinceH4083 of BabylonH895, and chiefH7229 of the governorsH5460 overH5922 allH3606 the wiseH2445 men of BabylonH895.
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 the kingH4428 saidH559 unto them, I have dreamedH2492 a dreamH2472, and my spiritH7307 was troubledH6470 to knowH3045 the dreamH2472.
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.
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}
WoeH188 unto us! who shall deliverH5337 us out of the handH3027 of these mightyH117 GodsH430? these are the GodsH430 that smoteH5221 the EgyptiansH4714 with all the plaguesH4347 in the wildernessH4057.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559, Behold, the peopleH5971 is oneH259, and they have all oneH259 languageH8193; and this they beginH2490 to doH6213: and now nothingH3808+H3605 will be restrainedH1219 from them, which they have imaginedH2161 to doH6213.
Go toH3051, let us go downH3381, and there confoundH1101 their languageH8193, thatH834 they may not understandH8085 oneH376 another'sH7453 speechH8193.
So the LORDH3068 scattered them abroadH6327 from thenceH8033 upon the faceH6440 of all the earthH776: and they left offH2308 to buildH1129 the cityH5892.
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}
Thine heartH3820 shall meditateH1897 terrorH367. Where is the scribeH5608? where is the receiverH8254? where is he that countedH5608 the towersH4026? {receiver: Heb. weigher?}
And the chiefH8269 butlerH8248 toldH5608 his dreamH2472 to JosephH3130, and saidH559 to him, In my dreamH2472, behold, a vineH1612 was before meH6440;
And in the vineH1612 were threeH7969 branchesH8299: and it was as though it buddedH6524, and her blossomsH5322 shot forthH5927; and the clustersH811 thereof brought forth ripeH1310 grapesH6025:
And Pharaoh'sH6547 cupH3563 was in my handH3027: and I tookH3947 the grapesH6025, and pressedH7818 them into Pharaoh'sH6547 cupH3563, and I gaveH5414 the cupH3563 into Pharaoh'sH6547 handH3709.
And JosephH3130 saidH559 unto him, This is the interpretationH6623 of it: The threeH7969 branchesH8299 are threeH7969 daysH3117:
YetH5750 within threeH7969 daysH3117 shall PharaohH6547 lift upH5375 thine headH7218, and restoreH7725 thee unto thy placeH3653: and thou shalt deliverH5414 Pharaoh'sH6547 cupH3563 into his handH3027, after the formerH7223 mannerH4941 when thou wast his butlerH8248. {lift…: or, reckon}
But thinkH2142 on me when it shall be wellH3190 with thee, and shewH6213 kindnessH2617, I pray thee, unto me, and make mentionH2142 of me unto PharaohH6547, and bring meH3318 out of this houseH1004: {think…: Heb. remember me with thee}
For indeed I was stolen awayH1589 out of the landH776 of the HebrewsH5680: and here also have I doneH6213 nothingH3972 that they should putH7760 me into the dungeonH953.
When the chiefH8269 bakerH644 sawH7200 that the interpretationH6622 was goodH2896, he saidH559 unto JosephH3130, I alsoH637 was in my dreamH2472, and, behold, I had threeH7969 whiteH2751 basketsH5536 on my headH7218: {white: or, full of holes}
And in the uppermostH5945 basketH5536 there was of all mannerH3978 of bakemeatsH4639+H644 for PharaohH6547; and the birdsH5775 did eatH398 them out of the basketH5536 uponH5921 my headH7218. {bakemeats…: Heb. meat of Pharaoh, the work of a baker, or, cook}
And JosephH3130 answeredH6030 and saidH559, This is the interpretationH6623 thereof: The threeH7969 basketsH5536 are threeH7969 daysH3117:
Yet within threeH7969 daysH3117 shall PharaohH6547 lift upH5375 thy headH7218 from off thee, and shall hangH8518 thee on a treeH6086; and the birdsH5775 shall eatH398 thy fleshH1320 from off thee. {lift…: or, reckon thee, and take thy office from thee}
In righteousnessH6666 shalt thou be establishedH3559: thou shalt be farH7368 from oppressionH6233; for thou shalt not fearH3372: and from terrorH4288; for it shall not come nearH7126 thee.
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}
Behold, thou art wiserH2450 than DanielH1840; there is no secretH5640 that they can hideH6004 from thee:
And when GideonH1439 was comeH935, behold, there was a manH376 that toldH5608 a dreamH2472 unto his fellowH7453, and saidH559, Behold, I dreamedH2492 a dreamH2472, and, lo, a cakeH6742+H6742 of barleyH8184 breadH3899 tumbledH2015 into the hostH4264 of MidianH4080, and cameH935 unto a tentH168, and smoteH5221 it that it fellH5307, and overturnedH2015+H4605 it, that the tentH168 lay alongH5307.
And his fellowH7453 answeredH6030 and saidH559, This is nothing else save the swordH2719 of GideonH1439 the sonH1121 of JoashH3101, a manH376 of IsraelH3478: for into his handH3027 hath GodH430 deliveredH5414 MidianH4080, and all the hostH4264.
And it was so, when GideonH1439 heardH8085 the tellingH4557 of the dreamH2472, and the interpretationH7667 thereof, that he worshippedH7812, and returnedH7725 into the hostH4264 of IsraelH3478, and saidH559, AriseH6965; for the LORDH3068 hath deliveredH5414 into your handH3027 the hostH4264 of MidianH4080. {interpretation: Heb. breaking}
