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.

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.
I have seenH7200 the wickedH7563 in great powerH6184, and spreadingH6168 himself like a greenH7488 bay treeH249. {a green…: or, a green tree that groweth in his own soil}
Yet he passed awayH5674, and, lo, he was not: yea, I soughtH1245 him, but he could not be foundH4672.
Behold, the LordH113, the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, shall lopH5586 the boughH6288 with terrorH4637: and the high onesH7311 of statureH6967 shall be hewn downH1438, and the haughtyH1364 shall be humbledH8213.
And he shall cut downH5362 the thicketsH5442 of the forestH3293 with ironH1270, and LebanonH3844 shall fallH5307 by a mighty oneH117. {by…: or, mightily}
Thou hast plantedH5193 them, yea, they have taken rootH8327: they growH3212, yea, they bring forthH6213 fruitH6529: thou art nearH7138 in their mouthH6310, and far fromH7350 their reinsH3629. {they grow: Heb. they go on}
Behold, the AssyrianH804 was a cedarH730 in LebanonH3844 with fairH3303 branchesH6057, and with a shadowingH6751 shroudH2793, and of an highH1362 statureH6967; and his topH6788 was among the thick boughsH5688. {with fair branches: Heb. fair of branches}
The watersH4325 made him greatH1431, the deepH8415 set him up on highH7311 with her riversH5104 runningH1980 round aboutH5439 his plantsH4302, and sent outH7971 her little riversH8585 unto all the treesH6086 of the fieldH7704. {made…: or, nourished him} {set…: or, brought him up} {little rivers: or, conduits}
Therefore his heightH6967 was exaltedH1361 above all the treesH6086 of the fieldH7704, and his boughsH5634 were multipliedH7235, and his branchesH6288 became longH748 because of the multitudeH7227 of watersH4325, when he shot forthH7971. {when…: or, when it sent them forth}
All the fowlsH5775 of heavenH8064 made their nestsH7077 in his boughsH5589, and under his branchesH6288 did all the beastsH2416 of the fieldH7704 bring forth their youngH3205, and under his shadowH6738 dweltH3427 all greatH7227 nationsH1471.
Thus was he fairH3302 in his greatnessH1433, in the lengthH753 of his branchesH1808: for his rootH8328 was by greatH7227 watersH4325.
The cedarsH730 in the gardenH1588 of GodH430 could not hideH6004 him: the fir treesH1265 were not likeH1819 his boughsH5589, and the chesnut treesH6196 were not like his branchesH6288; nor any treeH6086 in the gardenH1588 of GodH430 was likeH1819 unto him in his beautyH3308.
I have madeH6213 him fairH3303 by the multitudeH7230 of his branchesH1808: so that all the treesH6086 of EdenH5731, that were in the gardenH1588 of GodH430, enviedH7065 him.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because thou hast lifted upH1361 thyself in heightH6967, and he hath shot upH5414 his topH6788 among the thick boughsH5688, and his heartH3824 is lifted upH7311 in his heightH1363;
I have therefore deliveredH5414 him into the handH3027 of the mighty oneH410 of the heathenH1471; he shall surelyH6213 dealH6213 with him: I have driven him outH1644 for his wickednessH7562. {he…: Heb. in doing he shall do unto him}
And strangersH2114, the terribleH6184 of the nationsH1471, have cut him offH3772, and have leftH5203 him: upon the mountainsH2022 and in all the valleysH1516 his branchesH1808 are fallenH5307, and his boughsH6288 are brokenH7665 by all the riversH650 of the landH776; and all the peopleH5971 of the earthH776 are gone downH3381 from his shadowH6738, and have leftH5203 him.
Upon his ruinH4658 shall all the fowlsH5775 of the heavenH8064 remainH7931, and all the beastsH2416 of the fieldH7704 shall be upon his branchesH6288:
To the end that none of all the treesH6086 by the watersH4325 exaltH1361 themselves for their heightH6967, neither shoot upH5414 their topH6788 among the thick boughsH5688, neither their treesH352 stand upH5975 in their heightH1363, all that drinkH8354 waterH4325: for they are all deliveredH5414 unto deathH4194, to the nether partsH8482 of the earthH776, in the midstH8432 of the childrenH1121 of menH120, with them that go downH3381 to the pitH953. {their trees…: or, stand upon themselves for their height}
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; In the dayH3117 when he went downH3381 to the graveH7585 I caused a mourningH56: I coveredH3680 the deepH8415 for him, and I restrainedH4513 the floodsH5104 thereof, and the greatH7227 watersH4325 were stayedH3607: and I caused LebanonH3844 to mournH6937 for him, and all the treesH6086 of the fieldH7704 faintedH5969 for him. {to mourn: Heb. to be black}
I made the nationsH1471 to shakeH7493 at the soundH6963 of his fallH4658, when I cast him downH3381 to hellH7585 with them that descendH3381 into the pitH953: and all the treesH6086 of EdenH5731, the choiceH4005 and bestH2896 of LebanonH3844, all that drinkH8354 waterH4325, shall be comfortedH5162 in the nether partsH8482 of the earthH776.
They also went downH3381 into hellH7585 with him unto them that be slainH2491 with the swordH2719; and they that were his armH2220, that dweltH3427 under his shadowH6738 in the midstH8432 of the heathenH1471.
To whom art thou thus likeH1819 in gloryH3519 and in greatnessH1433 among the treesH6086 of EdenH5731? yet shalt thou be brought downH3381 with the treesH6086 of EdenH5731 unto the nether partsH8482 of the earthH776: thou shalt lieH7901 in the midstH8432 of the uncircumcisedH6189 with them that be slainH2491 by the swordH2719. This is PharaohH6547 and all his multitudeH1995, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
