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 LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 hath swornH7650, sayingH559, Surely as I have thoughtH1819, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposedH3289, so shall it standH6965:
That I will breakH7665 the AssyrianH804 in my landH776, and upon my mountainsH2022 tread him under footH947: then shall his yokeH5923 departH5493 from off them, and his burdenH5448 departH5493 from off their shouldersH7926.
This is the purposeH6098 that is purposedH3289 upon the whole earthH776: and this is the handH3027 that is stretched outH5186 upon all the nationsH1471.
For the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 hath purposedH3289, and who shall disannulH6565 it? and his handH3027 is stretched outH5186, and who shall turn it backH7725?
Thou wilt sayG2046 thenG3767 unto meG3427, WhyG5101 doth he yetG2089 find faultG3201? ForG1063 whoG5101 hath resistedG436 hisG846 willG1013?

Yea, before the dayH3117 was I am he; and there is none that can deliverH5337 out of my handH3027: I will workH6466, and who shall letH7725 it? {let it: Heb. turn it back?}
Nay butG3304, OG5599 manG444, whoG5101 artG1488 thouG4771 that repliest againstG470 GodG2316+G3361? ShallG2046 the thing formedG4110 sayG2046 to him that formedG4111 it, WhyG5101 hast thou madeG4160 meG3165 thusG3779? {repliest…: or, answerest again, or, disputest with God?}

ButG1161 ifG1487 it beG2076 ofG1537 GodG2316, ye cannotG3756+G1410 overthrowG2647 itG846; lest haplyG3379 ye be foundG2147 evenG2532 to fight against GodG2314.
OG5599 the depthG899 of the richesG4149 bothG2532 of the wisdomG4678 andG2532 knowledgeG1108 of GodG2316! howG5613 unsearchableG419 are hisG846 judgmentsG2917, andG2532 hisG846 waysG3598 past finding outG421!
ForG1063 whoG5101 hath knownG1097 the mindG3563 of the LordG2962? orG2228 whoG5101 hath beenG1096 hisG846 counsellorG4825?
OrG2228 whoG5101 hath first givenG4272 to himG846, andG2532 it shall be recompensedG467 unto himG846 againG467?
ForG3754 ofG1537 himG846, andG2532 throughG1223 himG846, andG2532 toG1519 himG846, are all thingsG3956: to whomG846 be gloryG1391 forG1519 everG165. AmenG281. {whom: Gr. him}
AtG1722 thatG1565 timeG2540 JesusG2424 answeredG611 and saidG2036, I thankG1843 theeG4671, O FatherG3962, LordG2962 of heavenG3772 andG2532 earthG1093, becauseG3754 thou hast hidG613 these thingsG5023 fromG575 the wiseG4680 andG2532 prudentG4908, andG2532 hast revealedG601 themG846 unto babesG3516.
AndG1161 he saidG2036, WhoG5101 art thouG1488, LordG2962? AndG1161 the LordG2962 saidG2036, IG1473 amG1510 JesusG2424 whomG3739 thouG4771 persecutestG1377: it is hardG4642 for theeG4671 to kickG2979 againstG4314 the pricksG2759.
ForG1063 whoG5101 hath knownG1097 the mindG3563 of the LordG2962, thatG3739 he may instructG4822 himG846? ButG1161 weG2249 haveG2192 the mindG3563 of ChristG5547. {may: Gr. shall}
ForasmuchG1487 thenG3767 asG5613 GodG2316 gaveG1325 themG846 the likeG2470 giftG1431 asG2532 he did unto usG2254, who believedG4100 onG1909 the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547+G1161; whatG5101 wasG2252 IG1473, that I couldG1415 withstandG2967 GodG2316?
For to doG4160 whatsoeverG3745 thyG4675 handG5495 andG2532 thyG4675 counselG1012 determined beforeG4309 to be doneG1096.
Do we provokeG2228+G3863 the LordG2962 to jealousyG3863? are weG2070 stronger thanG3361+G2478 heG846?
InG1722 whomG3739 alsoG2532 we have obtained an inheritanceG2820, being predestinatedG4309 according toG2596 the purposeG4286 of him who workethG1754 all thingsG3956 afterG2596 the counselG1012 of his ownG846 willG2307:
