| 4:1 | Nebuchadnezzar <05020> the king <04430>, unto all <03606> people <05972>, nations <0524>, and languages <03961>, that dwell <01753> (8748) in all <03606> the earth <0772>; Peace <08001> be multiplied <07680> (8748) unto you. |
| 4:2 | I thought <06925> it good <08232> (8754) to shew <02324> (8682) the signs <0852> and wonders <08540> that the high <05943> God <0426> hath wrought <05648> (8754) toward <05974> me. {I thought...: Chaldee, It was seemly before me} |
| 4:3 | How <04101> great <07260> [are] his signs <0852>! and how <04101> mighty <08624> [are] his wonders <08540>! his kingdom <04437> [is] an everlasting <05957> kingdom <04437>, and his dominion <07985> [is] from <05974> generation <01859> to generation <01859>. |
| 4:4 | I <0576> Nebuchadnezzar <05020> was <01934> (8754) at rest <07954> (8752) in mine house <01005>, and flourishing <07487> in my palace <01965>: |
| 4:5 | I saw <02370> (8754) a dream <02493> which made me afraid <01763> (8741), and the thoughts <02031> upon <05922> my bed <04903> and the visions <02376> of my head <07217> troubled <0927> (8792) me. |
| 4:6 | Therefore <04481> (0) made <07761> (8752) I <04481> a decree <02942> to bring <05954> (8682) in all <03606> the wise <02445> [men] of Babylon <0895> before <06925> me, that they might make known <03046> (8681) unto me the interpretation <06591> of the dream <02493>. |
| 4:7 | Then <0116> came <05954> (8750) in the magicians <02749>, the astrologers <0826>, the Chaldeans <03779>, and the soothsayers <01505> (8750): and I <0576> told <0560> (8750) the dream <02493> before <06925> them; but they did not <03809> make known <03046> (8683) unto me the interpretation <06591> thereof. |
| 4:8 | But at <05705> the last <0318> Daniel <01841> came in <05922> before me <06925>, whose name <08036> [was] Belteshazzar <01096>, according to the name <08036> of my god <0426>, and in whom [is] the spirit <07308> of the holy <06922> gods <0426>: and before <06925> him I told <0560> (8754) the dream <02493>, [saying], |
| 4:9 | O Belteshazzar <01096>, master <07229> of the magicians <02749>, because I <0576> know <03046> (8754) that the spirit <07308> of the holy <06922> gods <0426> [is] in thee, and no <03606> <03809> secret <07328> troubleth <0598> (8750) thee, tell <0560> (8747) me the visions <02376> of my dream <02493> that I have seen <02370> (8754), and the interpretation <06591> thereof. |
| 4:10 | Thus [were] the visions <02376> of mine head <07217> in <05922> my bed <04903>; I saw <01934> (8754) <02370> (8751), and behold <0431> a tree <0363> in the midst <01459> of the earth <0772>, and the height <07314> thereof [was] great <07690>. {I saw: Chaldee, I was seeing} |
| 4:11 | The tree <0363> grew <07236> (8754), and was strong <08631> (8754), and the height <07314> thereof reached <04291> (8748) unto heaven <08065>, and the sight <02379> thereof to the end <05491> of all <03606> the earth <0772>: |
| 4:12 | The leaves <06074> thereof [were] fair <08209>, and the fruit <04> thereof much <07690>, and in it [was] meat <04203> for all <03606>: the beasts <02423> of the field <01251> had shadow <02927> (8681) under <08460> it, and the fowls <06853> of the heaven <08065> dwelt <01753> (8748) in the boughs <06056> thereof, and all <03606> flesh <01321> was fed <02110> (8729) of it <04481>. |
| 4:13 | I saw <01934> (8754) <02370> (8751) in the visions <02376> of my head <07217> upon <05922> my bed <04903>, and, behold <0431>, a watcher <05894> and an holy one <06922> came down <05182> (8750) from <04481> heaven <08065>; |
| 4:14 | He cried <07123> (8751) aloud <02429>, and said <0560> (8750) thus <03652>, Hew down <01414> the tree <0363>, and cut off <07113> (8745) his branches <06056>, shake off <05426> (8680) his leaves <06074>, and scatter <0921> (8745) his fruit <04>: let the beasts <02423> get away <05111> (8748) from <04481> under it <08479>, and the fowls <06853> from <04481> his branches <06056>: {aloud: Chaldee, with might} |
| 4:15 | Nevertheless <01297> leave <07662> (8747) the stump <06136> of his roots <08330> in the earth <0772>, even with a band <0613> of iron <06523> and brass <05174>, in the tender grass <01883> of the field <01251>; and let it be wet <06647> (8721) with the dew <02920> of heaven <08065>, and [let] his portion <02508> [be] with <05974> the beasts <02423> in the grass <06211> of the earth <0772>: |
| 4:16 | Let his heart <03825> be changed <08133> (8741) from <04481> man's <0606>, and let a beast's <02423> heart <03825> be given <03052> (8725) unto him; and let seven <07655> times <05732> pass <02499> over <05922> him. |
| 4:17 | This matter <06600> [is] by the decree <01510> of the watchers <05894>, and the demand <07595> by the word <03983> of the holy ones <06922>: to <05705> the intent <01701> that the living <02417> may know <03046> (8748) that the most High <05943> ruleth <07990> in the kingdom <04437> of men <0606>, and giveth <05415> (8748) it to whomsoever <04479> he will <06634> (8748), and setteth up <06966> (8681) over <05922> it the basest <08215> of men <0606>. |
| 4:18 | This <01836> dream <02493> I <0576> king <04430> Nebuchadnezzar <05020> have seen <02370> (8754). Now thou <0607>, O Belteshazzar <01096>, declare <0560> (8747) the interpretation <06591> thereof, forasmuch as <06903> all <03606> the wise <02445> [men] of my kingdom <04437> are not <03809> able <03202> (8750) to make known <03046> (8682) unto me the interpretation <06591>: but thou <0607> [art] able <03546> (8751); for the spirit <07308> of the holy <06922> gods <0426> [is] in thee. |
| 4:19 | Then <0116> Daniel <01841>, whose name <08036> [was] Belteshazzar <01096>, was astonied <08075> (8733) for one <02298> hour <08160>, and his thoughts <07476> troubled <0927> (8792) him. The king <04430> spake <06032> (8750), and said <0560> (8750), Belteshazzar <01096>, let not <0409> the dream <02493>, or the interpretation <06591> thereof, trouble <0927> (8792) thee. Belteshazzar <01096> answered <06032> (8750) and said <0560> (8750), My lord <04756>, the dream <02493> [be] to them that hate <08131> (8750) thee, and the interpretation <06591> thereof to thine enemies <06146>. |
| 4:20 | The tree <0363> that thou sawest <02370> (8754), which grew <07236> (8754), and was strong <08631> (8754), whose height <07314> reached <04291> (8748) unto the heaven <08065>, and the sight <02379> thereof to all <03606> the earth <0772>; |
| 4:21 | Whose leaves <06074> [were] fair <08209>, and the fruit <04> thereof much <07690>, and in it [was] meat <04203> for all <03606>; under <08460> which the beasts <02423> of the field <01251> dwelt <01753> (8748), and upon whose branches <06056> the fowls <06853> of the heaven <08065> had their habitation <07932> (8748): |
| 4:22 | It [is] thou <0607>, O king <04430>, that art grown <07236> (8754) and become strong <08631> (8748): for thy greatness <07238> is grown <07236> (8754), and reacheth <04291> (8754) unto heaven <08065>, and thy dominion <07985> to the end <05491> of the earth <0772>. |
| 4:23 | And whereas the king <04430> saw <02370> (8754) a watcher <05894> and an holy one <06922> coming down <05182> (8750) from <04481> heaven <08065>, and saying <0560> (8750), Hew <01414> (0) the tree <0363> down <01414>, and destroy <02255> (8740) it; yet <01297> leave <07662> (8747) the stump <06136> of the roots <08330> thereof in the earth <0772>, even with a band <0613> of iron <06523> and brass <05174>, in the tender grass <01883> of the field <01251>; and let it be wet <06647> (8721) with the dew <02920> of heaven <08065>, and [let] his portion <02508> [be] with <05974> the beasts <02423> of the field <01251>, till <05705> seven <07655> times <05732> pass <02499> over <05922> him; |
| 4:24 | This <01836> [is] the interpretation <06591>, O king <04430>, and this <01932> [is] the decree <01510> of the most High <05943>, which is come <04291> (8754) upon <05922> my lord <04756> the king <04430>: |
| 4:25 | That they shall drive <02957> (8751) thee from <04481> men <0606>, and thy dwelling <04070> shall be <01934> (8748) with <05974> the beasts <02423> of the field <01251>, and they shall make thee to eat <02939> (8748) grass <06211> as oxen <08450>, and they shall wet <06647> (8743) thee with the dew <02920> of heaven <08065>, and seven <07655> times <05732> shall pass <02499> over <05922> thee, till <05705> thou know <03046> (8748) that the most High <05943> ruleth <07990> in the kingdom <04437> of men <0606>, and giveth <05415> (8748) it to whomsoever <04479> he will <06634> (8748). |
| 4:26 | And whereas they commanded <0560> (8754) to leave <07662> (8749) the stump <06136> of the tree <0363> roots <08330>; thy kingdom <04437> shall be sure <07011> unto thee, after <04481> that thou shalt have known <03046> (8748) that the heavens <08065> do rule <07990>. |
| 4:27 | Wherefore <03861>, O king <04430>, let my counsel <04431> be acceptable <08232> (8748) unto thee <05922>, and break off <06562> (8747) thy sins <02408> by righteousness <06665>, and thine iniquities <05758> by shewing mercy <02604> (8749) to the poor <06033> (8750); if <02006> it may be <01934> (8748) a lengthening <0754> of thy tranquillity <07963>. {a lengthening...: or, an healing of thine error} |
| 4:28 | All <03606> this came <04291> (8754) upon <05922> the king <04430> Nebuchadnezzar <05020>. |
| 4:29 | At the end <07118> of twelve <08648> <06236> months <03393> he walked <01934> (8754) <01981> (8750) in <05922> the palace <01965> of the kingdom <04437> of Babylon <0895>. {in: or, upon} |
| 4:30 | The king <04430> spake <06032> (8750), and said <0560> (8750), Is not <03809> this <01932> <01668> great <07229> Babylon <0895>, that I <0576> have built <01124> (8754) for the house <01005> of the kingdom <04437> by the might <08632> of my power <02632>, and for the honour <03367> of my majesty <01923>? |
| 4:31 | While <05751> the word <04406> [was] in the king's <04430> mouth <06433>, there fell <05308> (8754) a voice <07032> from <04481> heaven <08065>, [saying], O king <04430> Nebuchadnezzar <05020>, to thee it is spoken <0560> (8750); The kingdom <04437> is departed <05709> (8754) from <04481> thee. |
| 4:32 | And they shall drive <02957> (8751) thee from <04481> men <0606>, and thy dwelling <04070> [shall be] with <05974> the beasts <02423> of the field <01251>: they shall make thee to eat <02939> (8748) grass <06211> as oxen <08450>, and seven <07655> times <05732> shall pass <02499> over <05922> thee, until <05705> thou know <03046> (8748) that the most High <05943> ruleth <07990> in the kingdom <04437> of men <0606>, and giveth <05415> (8748) it to whomsoever <04479> he will <06634> (8748). |
| 4:33 | The same hour <08160> was the thing <04406> fulfilled <05487> (8754) upon <05922> Nebuchadnezzar <05020>: and he was driven <02957> (8752) from <04481> men <0606>, and did eat <0399> (8748) grass <06211> as oxen <08450>, and his body <01655> was wet <06647> (8721) with the dew <02920> of heaven <08065>, till <05705> his hairs <08177> were grown <07236> (8754) like eagles <05403>' [feathers], and his nails <02953> like birds <06853>' [claws]. |
| 4:34 | And at the end <07118> of the days <03118> I <0576> Nebuchadnezzar <05020> lifted up <05191> (8754) mine eyes <05870> unto heaven <08065>, and mine understanding <04486> returned <08421> (8748) unto me <05922>, and I blessed <01289> (8745) the most High <05943>, and I praised <07624> (8745) and honoured <01922> (8745) him that liveth <02417> for ever <05957>, whose dominion <07985> [is] an everlasting <05957> dominion <07985>, and his kingdom <04437> [is] from <05974> generation <01859> to generation <01859>: |
| 4:35 | And all <03606> the inhabitants <01753> (8748) of the earth <0772> [are] reputed <02804> (8752) as nothing <03809>: and he doeth <05648> (8751) according to his will <06634> (8749) in the army <02429> of heaven <08065>, and [among] the inhabitants <01753> (8748) of the earth <0772>: and none <03809> can <0383> stay <04223> (8741) his hand <03028>, or say <0560> (8748) unto him, What <04101> doest <05648> (8754) thou? |
| 4:36 | At the same time <02166> my reason <04486> returned <08421> (8748) unto me <05922>; and for the glory <03367> of my kingdom <04437>, mine honour <01923> and brightness <02122> returned <08421> (8748) unto me <05922>; and my counsellors <01907> and my lords <07261> sought <01156> (8748) unto me <05922>; and I was established <08627> (8717) in my kingdom <04437>, and excellent <03493> majesty <07238> was added <03255> (8717) unto me. |
| 4:37 | Now <03705> I <0576> Nebuchadnezzar <05020> praise <07624> (8743) and extol <07313> (8751) and honour <01922> (8743) the King <04430> of heaven <08065>, all <03606> whose works <04567> [are] truth <07187>, and his ways <0735> judgment <01780>: and those that walk <01981> (8683) in pride <01467> he is able <03202> (8750) to abase <08214> (8682). |
