Daniel 1:11

1:11 Daniel then spoke to the warden ¹  whom the overseer of the court officials had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah:

Daniel 5:20

5:20 And when his mind ²  became arrogant ³  and his spirit filled with pride, he was deposed from his royal throne and his honor was removed from him.

Daniel 7:16

7:16 I approached one of those standing nearby and asked him about the meaning ⁴  of all this. So he spoke with me and revealed ⁵  to me the interpretation of the vision: ⁶ 

Daniel 7:24

7:24 The ten horns

mean that ten kings will arise from that kingdom.

Another king will arise after them,

but he will be different from the earlier ones.

He will humiliate ⁷  three kings.

¹ sn Having failed to convince the overseer, Daniel sought the favor of the warden whom the overseer had appointed to care for the young men.

² tn Aram “heart.”

³ sn The point of describing Nebuchadnezzar as arrogant is that he had usurped divine prerogatives, and because of his immense arrogance God had dealt decisively with him.

³ tn Aram “what is certain.”

⁴ tn Aram “and made known.”

⁵ tn Aram “matter,” but the matter at hand is of course the vision.

⁴ tn Or “subjugate”; KJV, NASB, NIV “subdue”; ASV, NRSV “put down.”
