Daniel 2:4--7:28

Then spake
<01696> (8762)
the Chaldeans
<03778>
to the king
<04428>
in Syriack
<0762>_,
O king
<04430>_,
live
<02418> (8747)
for ever
<05957>_:
tell
<0560> (8747)
thy servants
<05649>
the dream
<02493>_,
and we will shew
<02324> (8741)
the interpretation
<06591>_.
{O king...: (Chaldee, to the end of chapter seven)}
The king
<04430>
answered
<06032> (8750)
and said
<0560> (8750)
to the Chaldeans
<03779>_,
The thing
<04406>
is gone
<0230> (8754)
from me
<04481>_:
if
<02006>
ye will not
<03809>
make known
<03046> (8681)
unto me the dream
<02493>_,
with the interpretation
<06591>
thereof, ye shall be cut
<05648> (8725)
in pieces
<01917>_,
and your houses
<01005>
shall be made
<07761> (8725)
a dunghill
<05122>_.
{cut...: Chaldee, made pieces}
But if
<02006>
ye shew
<02324> (8681)
the dream
<02493>_,
and the interpretation
<06591>
thereof, ye shall receive
<06902> (8741)
of
<04481>
me
<06925>
gifts
<04978>
and rewards
<05023>
and great
<07690>
honour
<03367>_:
therefore
<03861>
shew
<02324> (8680)
me the dream
<02493>_,
and the interpretation
<06591>
thereof. {rewards: or, fee}
They answered
<06032> (8754)
again
<08579>
and said
<0560> (8750)_,
Let the king
<04430>
tell
<0560> (8748)
his servants
<05649>
the dream
<02493>_,
and we will shew
<02324> (8681)
the interpretation
<06591>
of it.
The king
<04430>
answered
<06032> (8750)
and said
<0560> (8750)_,
I
<0576>
know
<03046> (8751)
of
<04481>
certainty
<03330>
that ye
<0608>
would gain
<02084> (8750)
the time
<05732>_,
because
<06903> <03606>
ye see
<02370> (8754)
the thing
<04406>
is gone
<0230> (8754)
from
<04481>
me. {gain: Chaldee, buy}
But if
<02006>
ye will not
<03809>
make known
<03046> (8681)
unto me the dream
<02493>_,
[there is but] one
<01932> <02298>
decree
<01882>
for you: for ye have prepared
<02164> (8724)
lying
<03538>
and corrupt
<07844> (8752)
words
<04406>
to speak
<0560> (8749)
before
<06925>
me, till
<05705>
the time
<05732>
be changed
<08133> (8721)_:
therefore
<03861>
tell
<0560> (8747)
me the dream
<02493>_,
and I shall know
<03046> (8748)
that
<01768>
ye can shew
<02324> (8681)
me the interpretation
<06591>
thereof.
The Chaldeans
<03779>
answered
<06032> (8754)
before
<06925>
the king
<04430>_,
and said
<0560> (8750)_,
There is
<0383>
not
<03809>
a man
<0606>
upon
<05922>
the earth
<03007>
that can
<03202> (8748)
shew
<02324> (8682)
the king's
<04430>
matter
<04406>_:
therefore
<06903> <01768>
[there is] no
<03809>
king
<04430>_,
lord
<07229>_,
nor ruler
<07990>_,
[that] asked
<07593> (8754)
such
<01836>
things
<04406>
at any
<03606>
magician
<02749>_,
or astrologer
<0826>_,
or Chaldean
<03779>_.
And [it is] a rare
<03358>
thing
<04406>
that the king
<04430>
requireth
<07593> (8751)_,
and there is
<0383>
none
<03809>
other
<0321>
that can shew
<02324> (8741)
it before
<06925>
the king
<04430>_,
except
<03861>
the gods
<0426>_,
whose dwelling
<04070>
is
<0383>
not
<03809>
with
<05974>
flesh
<01321>_.
For
<06903>
this
<01836>
cause
<03606>
the king
<04430>
was angry
<01149> (8754)
and very
<07690>
furious
<07108> (8754)_,
and commanded
<0560> (8754)
to destroy
<07> (8682)
all
<03606>
the wise
<02445>
[men] of Babylon
<0895>_.
And the decree
<01882>
went forth
<05312> (8754)
that the wise
<02445>
[men] should be slain
<06992> (8726)_;
and they sought
<01156> (8754)
Daniel
<01841>
and his fellows
<02269>
to be slain
<06992> (8723)_.
Then
<0116>
Daniel
<01841>
answered
<08421> (8684)
with counsel
<05843>
and wisdom
<02942>
to Arioch
<0746>
the captain
<07229>
of
<01768>
the king's
<04430>
guard
<02877>_,
which was gone forth
<05312> (8754)
to slay
<06992> (8742)
the wise
<02445>
[men] of Babylon
<0895>_:
{answered...: Chaldee, returned} {captain...: or, chief marshal: Chaldee, chief of the executioners, or, slaughtermen}
He answered
<06032> (8750)
and said
<0560> (8750)
to Arioch
<0746>
the king's
<04430>
captain
<07990>_,
Why
<04101> <05922>
[is] the decree
<01882>
[so] hasty
<02685> (8683)
from
<04481> <06925>
the king
<04430>_?
Then
<0116>
Arioch
<0746>
made the thing
<04406>
known
<03046> (8684)
to Daniel
<01841>_.
Then Daniel
<01841>
went in
<05954> (8754)_,
and desired
<01156> (8754)
of
<04481>
the king
<04430>
that he would give
<05415> (8748)
him time
<02166>_,
and that he would shew
<02324> (8682)
the king
<04430>
the interpretation
<06591>_.
Then
<0116>
Daniel
<01841>
went
<0236> (8754)
to his house
<01005>_,
and made the thing
<04406>
known
<03046> (8684)
to Hananiah
<02608>_,
Mishael
<04333>_,
and Azariah
<05839>_,
his companions
<02269>_:
That they would desire
<01156> (8749)
mercies
<07359>
of
<04481> <06925>
the God
<0426>
of heaven
<08065>
concerning
<05922>
this
<01836>
secret
<07328>_;
that Daniel
<01841>
and his fellows
<02269>
should not
<03809>
perish
<07> (8681)
with
<05974>
the rest
<07606>
of the wise
<02445>
[men] of Babylon
<0895>_.
{of the God: Chaldee, from before God} {that Daniel...: or, that they should not destroy Daniel, etc}
Then
<0116>
was the secret
<07328>
revealed
<01541> (8752)
unto Daniel
<01841>
in a night
<03916>
vision
<02376>_.
Then
<0116>
Daniel
<01841>
blessed
<01289> (8745)
the God
<0426>
of heaven
<08065>_.
Daniel
<01841>
answered
<06032> (8750)
and said
<0560> (8750)_,
Blessed
<01289> (8743)
be
<01934> (8748)
the name
<08036>
of God
<0426>
for
<04481>
ever
<05957>
and ever
<05705> <05957>_:
for wisdom
<02452>
and might
<01370>
are
<01932>
his:
And he changeth
<08133> (8683)
the times
<05732>
and the seasons
<02166>_:
he removeth
<05709> (8683)
kings
<04430>_,
and setteth up
<06966> (8683)
kings
<04430>_:
he giveth
<03052> (8751)
wisdom
<02452>
unto the wise
<02445>_,
and knowledge
<04486>
to them that know
<03046> (8751)
understanding
<0999>_:
He revealeth
<01541> (8751)
the deep
<05994>
and secret things
<05642> (8743)_:
he knoweth
<03046> (8751)
what
<04101>
[is] in the darkness
<02816>_,
and the light
<05094>
dwelleth
<08271> (8754)
with him
<05974>_.
I
<0576>
thank
<03029> (8683)
thee, and praise
<07624> (8743)
thee, O thou God
<0426>
of my fathers
<02>_,
who hast given
<03052> (8754)
me wisdom
<02452>
and might
<01370>_,
and hast made known
<03046> (8684)
unto me now
<03705>
what we desired
<01156> (8754)
of thee
<04481>_:
for thou hast [now] made known
<03046> (8684)
unto us the king's
<04430>
matter
<04406>_.
Therefore
<03606> <06903> <01836>
Daniel
<01841>
went in
<05954> (8754)
unto
<05922>
Arioch
<0746>_,
whom the king
<04430>
had ordained
<04483> (8745)
to destroy
<07> (8682)
the wise
<02445>
[men] of Babylon
<0895>_:
he went
<0236> (8754)
and said
<0560> (8754)
thus
<03652>
unto him; Destroy
<07> (8681)
not
<0409>
the wise
<02445>
[men] of Babylon
<0895>_:
bring me in
<05954> (8680)
before
<06925>
the king
<04430>_,
and I will shew
<02324> (8741)
unto the king
<04430>
the interpretation
<06591>_.
Then
<0116>
Arioch
<0746>
brought in
<05954> (8684)
Daniel
<01841>
before
<06925>
the king
<04430>
in haste
<0927> (8726)_,
and said
<0560> (8754)
thus
<03652>
unto him, I have found
<07912> (8684)
a man
<01400>
of the captives
<01123> <01547>
of
<04481>
Judah
<03061>_,
that will make known
<03046> (8681)
unto the king
<04430>
the interpretation
<06591>_.
{I have...: Chaldee, That I have found} {captives...: Chaldee, children of the captivity of Judah}
The king
<04430>
answered
<06032> (8750)
and said
<0560> (8750)
to Daniel
<01841>_,
whose name
<08036>
[was] Belteshazzar
<01096>_,
Art
<0383>
thou able
<03546> (8751)
to make known
<03046> (8682)
unto me the dream
<02493>
which I have seen
<02370> (8754)_,
and the interpretation
<06591>
thereof?
Daniel
<01841>
answered
<06032> (8750)
in the presence
<06925>
of the king
<04430>_,
and said
<0560> (8750)_,
The secret
<07328>
which the king
<04430>
hath demanded
<07593> (8751)
cannot
<03202> (8750) <03809>
the wise
<02445>
[men], the astrologers
<0826>_,
the magicians
<02749>_,
the soothsayers
<01505> (8750)_,
shew
<02324> (8682)
unto the king
<04430>_;
But
<01297>
there is
<0383>
a God
<0426>
in heaven
<08065>
that revealeth
<01541> (8751)
secrets
<07328>_,
and maketh known
<03046> (8684)
to the king
<04430>
Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>
what
<04101>
shall be
<01934> (8748)
in the latter
<0320>
days
<03118>_.
Thy dream
<02493>_,
and the visions
<02376>
of thy head
<07217>
upon
<05922>
thy bed
<04903>_,
are these
<01836>_;
{maketh...: Chaldee, hath made known}
As for thee
<0607>_,
O king
<04430>_,
thy thoughts
<07476>
came
<05559> (8760)
[into thy mind] upon
<05922>
thy bed
<04903>_,
what
<04101>
should come to pass
<01934> (8748)
hereafter
<0311> <01836>_:
and he that revealeth
<01541> (8751)
secrets
<07328>
maketh known
<03046> (8684)
to thee what
<04101>
shall come to pass
<01934> (8748)_.
{came: Chaldee, came up}
But as for me
<0576>_,
this
<01836>
secret
<07328>
is not
<03809>
revealed
<01541> (8752)
to me for [any] wisdom
<02452>
that I have
<0383>
more than
<04481>
any
<03606>
living
<02417>_,
but
<03861>
for [their] sakes
<01701>
that
<05922>
shall make known
<03046> (8681)
the interpretation
<06591>
to the king
<04430>_,
and that thou mightest know
<03046> (8748)
the thoughts
<07476>
of thy heart
<03825>_.
{but for...: or, but for the intent that the interpretation may be made known to the king}
Thou
<0607>_,
O king
<04430>_,
sawest
<01934> (8754) <02370> (8751)_,
and behold
<0431>
a great
<02298> <07690>
image
<06755>_.
This
<01797>
great
<07229>
image
<06755>_,
whose brightness
<02122>
[was] excellent
<03493>_,
stood
<06966> (8750)
before
<06903>
thee; and the form
<07299>
thereof [was] terrible
<01763> (8753)_.
{sawest: Chaldee, wast seeing}
This image's
<06755>
head
<07217>
[was] of fine
<02869>
gold
<01722>_,
his breast
<02306>
and his arms
<01872>
of silver
<03702>_,
his belly
<04577>
and his thighs
<03410>
of brass
<05174>_,
{thighs: or, sides}
His legs
<08243>
of iron
<06523>_,
his feet
<07271>
part
<04481>
of iron
<06523>
and part
<04481>
of clay
<02635>_.
Thou sawest
<02370> (8751) <01934> (8754)
till
<05705>
that a stone
<069>
was cut out
<01505> (8728)
without
<03809>
hands
<03028>_,
which smote
<04223> (8754)
the image
<06755>
upon
<05922>
his feet
<07271>
[that were] of iron
<06523>
and clay
<02635>_,
and brake
<01855> (0)
them
<01994>
to pieces
<01855> (8684)_.
{without...: or, which was not in hands}
Then
<0116>
was the iron
<06523>_,
the clay
<02635>_,
the brass
<05174>_,
the silver
<03702>_,
and the gold
<01722>_,
broken to pieces
<01855> (8754) (8676) <01751> (8754)
together
<02298>_,
and became
<01934> (8754)
like the chaff
<05784>
of
<04481>
the summer
<07007>
threshingfloors
<0147>_;
and the wind
<07308>
carried
<05376> (0)
them
<01994>
away
<05376> (8754)_,
that
<03606>
no
<03809>
place
<0870>
was found
<07912> (8728)
for them: and the stone
<069>
that smote
<04223> (8754)
the image
<06755>
became
<01934> (8754)
a great
<07229>
mountain
<02906>_,
and filled
<04391> (8754)
the whole
<03606>
earth
<0772>_.
This
<01836>
[is] the dream
<02493>_;
and we will tell
<0560> (8748)
the interpretation
<06591>
thereof before
<06925>
the king
<04430>_.
Thou
<0607>_,
O king
<04430>_,
[art] a king
<04430>
of kings
<04430>_:
for the God
<0426>
of heaven
<08065>
hath given
<03052> (8754)
thee a kingdom
<04437>_,
power
<02632>_,
and strength
<08632>_,
and glory
<03367>_.
And wheresoever
<03606>
the children
<01123>
of men
<0606>
dwell
<01753> (8748)_,
the beasts
<02423>
of the field
<01251>
and the fowls
<05776>
of the heaven
<08065>
hath he given
<03052> (8754)
into thine hand
<03028>_,
and hath made thee ruler
<07981> (8684)
over them all
<03606>_.
Thou
<0607>
[art] this head
<07217>
of gold
<01722>_.
And after
<0870>
thee shall arise
<06966> (8748)
another
<0317>
kingdom
<04437>
inferior
<0772>
to thee
<04481>_,
and another
<0317>
third
<08523>
kingdom
<04437>
of brass
<05174>_,
which shall bear rule
<07981> (8748)
over all
<03606>
the earth
<0772>_.
And the fourth
<07244>
kingdom
<04437>
shall be
<01934> (8748)
strong
<08624>
as iron
<06523>_:
forasmuch as iron
<06523>
breaketh in pieces
<01855> (8683)
and subdueth
<02827> (8751)
all
<03606>
[things]: and as
<06903>
iron
<06523>
that breaketh
<07490> (8750)
all
<03606>
these
<0459>_,
shall it break in pieces
<01855> (8681)
and bruise
<07490> (8748)_.
And whereas thou sawest
<02370> (8754)
the feet
<07271>
and toes
<0677>_,
part
<04481>
of potters
<06353>_'
clay
<02635>_,
and part
<04481>
of iron
<06523>_,
the kingdom
<04437>
shall be
<01934> (8748)
divided
<06386> (8752)_;
but
<04481> (0)
there shall be
<01934> (8748)
in it of
<04481>
the strength
<05326>
of the iron
<06523>_,
forasmuch as
<03606> <06903>
thou sawest
<02370> (8754)
the iron
<06523>
mixed
<06151> (8743)
with miry
<02917>
clay
<02635>_.
And [as] the toes
<0677>
of the feet
<07271>
[were] part
<04481>
of iron
<06523>_,
and part
<04481>
of clay
<02635>_,
[so] the kingdom
<04437>
shall be
<01934> (8748)
partly
<04481> <07118>
strong
<08624>_,
and partly
<04481> <07118>
broken
<08406> (8750)_.
{broken: or, brittle}
And whereas
<01768>
thou sawest
<02370> (8754)
iron
<06523>
mixed
<06151> (8743)
with miry
<02917>
clay
<02635>_,
they shall mingle themselves
<01934> (8748) <06151> (8723)
with the seed
<02234>
of men
<0606>_:
but they shall
<01934> (8748)
not
<03809>
cleave
<01693> (8751)
one
<01836>
to
<05974>
another
<01836>_,
even
<01888>
as iron
<06523>
is not
<03809>
mixed
<06151> (8723)
with clay
<02635>_.
{one...: Chaldee, this with this}
And in the days
<03118>
of these
<0581>
kings
<04430>
shall the God
<0426>
of heaven
<08065>
set up
<06966> (8681)
a kingdom
<04437>_,
which shall never
<05957> <03809>
be destroyed
<02255> (8721)_:
and the kingdom
<04437>
shall not
<03809>
be left
<07662> (8721)
to other
<0321>
people
<05972>_,
[but] it shall break in pieces
<01855> (8681)
and consume
<05487> (8681)
all
<03606>
these
<0459>
kingdoms
<04437>_,
and it
<01932>
shall stand
<06966> (8748)
for ever
<05957>_.
{the days: Chaldee, their days} {the kingdom: Chaldee, the kingdom thereof}
Forasmuch as
<03606> <06903>
thou sawest
<02370> (8754)
that the stone
<069>
was cut out
<01505> (8728)
of the mountain
<02906>
without
<03809>
hands
<03028>_,
and that it brake in pieces
<01855> (8684)
the iron
<06523>_,
the brass
<05174>_,
the clay
<02635>_,
the silver
<03702>_,
and the gold
<01722>_;
the great
<07229>
God
<0426>
hath made known
<03046> (8684)
to the king
<04430>
what
<04101>
shall come to pass
<01934> (8748)
hereafter
<0311> <01836>_:
and the dream
<02493>
[is] certain
<03330>_,
and the interpretation
<06591>
thereof sure
<0540> (8683)_.
{without...: or, which was not in hands} {hereafter: Chaldee, after this}
Then
<0116>
the king
<04430>
Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>
fell
<05308> (8754)
upon
<05922>
his face
<0600>_,
and worshipped
<05457> (8754)
Daniel
<01841>_,
and commanded
<0560> (8754)
that they should offer
<05260> (8742)
an oblation
<04504>
and sweet odours
<05208>
unto him.
The king
<04430>
answered
<06032> (8750)
unto Daniel
<01841>_,
and said
<0560> (8750)_,
Of
<04481>
a truth
<07187>
[it is], that
<01768>
your God
<0426>
[is] a God
<0426>
of gods
<0426>_,
and a Lord
<04756>
of kings
<04430>_,
and a revealer
<01541> (8751)
of secrets
<07328>_,
seeing thou couldest
<03202> (8754)
reveal
<01541> (8749)
this
<01836>
secret
<07328>_.
Then
<0116>
the king
<04430>
made
<07236> (0)
Daniel
<01841>
a great man
<07236> (8745)_,
and gave
<03052> (8754)
him many
<07690>
great
<07260>
gifts
<04978>_,
and made him ruler
<07981> (8684)
over
<05922>
the whole
<03606>
province
<04083>
of Babylon
<0895>_,
and chief
<07229>
of the governors
<05460>
over
<05922>
all
<03606>
the wise
<02445>
[men] of Babylon
<0895>_.
Then Daniel
<01841>
requested
<01156> (8754)
of
<04481>
the king
<04430>_,
and he set
<04483> (8745)
Shadrach
<07715>_,
Meshach
<04336>_,
and Abednego
<05665>_,
over
<05922>
the affairs
<05673>
of the province
<04083>
of Babylon
<0895>_:
but Daniel
<01841>
[sat] in the gate
<08651>
of the king
<04430>_.
Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>
the king
<04430>
made
<05648> (8754)
an image
<06755>
of gold
<01722>_,
whose height
<07314>
[was] threescore
<08361>
cubits
<0521>_,
[and] the breadth
<06613>
thereof six
<08353>
cubits
<0521>_:
he set it up
<06966> (8684)
in the plain
<01236>
of Dura
<01757>_,
in the province
<04083>
of Babylon
<0895>_.
Then Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>
the king
<04430>
sent
<07972> (8754)
to gather together
<03673> (8749)
the princes
<0324>_,
the governors
<05460>_,
and the captains
<06347>_,
the judges
<0148>_,
the treasurers
<01411>_,
the counsellors
<01884>_,
the sheriffs
<08614>_,
and all
<03606>
the rulers
<07984>
of the provinces
<04083>_,
to come
<0858> (8749)
to the dedication
<02597>
of the image
<06755>
which Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>
the king
<04430>
had set up
<06966> (8684)_.
Then
<0116>
the princes
<0324>_,
the governors
<05460>_,
and captains
<06347>_,
the judges
<0148>_,
the treasurers
<01411>_,
the counsellors
<01884>_,
the sheriffs
<08614>_,
and all
<03606>
the rulers
<07984>
of the provinces
<04083>_,
were gathered together
<03673> (8723)
unto the dedication
<02597>
of the image
<06755>
that Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>
the king
<04430>
had set up
<06966> (8684)_;
and they stood
<06966> (8750)
before
<06903>
the image
<06755>
that Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>
had set up
<06966> (8684)_.
Then an herald
<03744>
cried
<07123> (8751)
aloud
<02429>_,
To you it is commanded
<0560> (8750)_,
O people
<05972>_,
nations
<0524>_,
and languages
<03961>_,
{aloud: Chaldee, with might} {it...: Chaldee, they command}
[That] at what time
<05732>
ye hear
<08086> (8748)
the sound
<07032>
of the cornet
<07162>_,
flute
<04953>_,
harp
<07030> (8675) <07030>_,
sackbut
<05443>_,
psaltery
<06460>_,
dulcimer
<05481>_,
and all
<03606>
kinds
<02178>
of musick
<02170>_,
ye fall down
<05308> (8748)
and worship
<05457> (8748)
the golden
<01722>
image
<06755>
that Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>
the king
<04430>
hath set up
<06966> (8684)_:
{dulcimer: or, singing: Chaldee, symphony}
And whoso
<04479>
falleth
<05308> (0)
not
<03809>
down
<05308> (8748)
and worshippeth
<05457> (8748)
shall the same hour
<08160>
be cast
<07412> (8729)
into the midst
<01459>
of a burning
<03345> (8751)
fiery
<05135>
furnace
<0861>_.
Therefore
<06903> <01836>
at that time
<02166>_,
when
<01768>
all
<03606>
the people
<05972>
heard
<08086> (8750)
the sound
<07032>
of the cornet
<07162>_,
flute
<04953>_,
harp
<07030> (8675) <07030>_,
sackbut
<05443>_,
psaltery
<06460>_,
and all
<03606>
kinds
<02178>
of musick
<02170>_,
all
<03606>
the people
<05972>_,
the nations
<0524>_,
and the languages
<03961>_,
fell down
<05308> (8750)
[and] worshipped
<05457> (8750)
the golden
<01722>
image
<06755>
that Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>
the king
<04430>
had set up
<06966> (8684)_.
Wherefore
<06903> <03606>
at that
<01836>
time
<02166>
certain
<01400>
Chaldeans
<03779>
came near
<07127> (8754)_,
and accused
<07170> <0399> (8754)
the Jews
<03062>_.
They spake
<06032> (8754)
and said
<0560> (8750)
to the king
<04430>
Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>_,
O king
<04430>_,
live
<02418> (8747)
for ever
<05957>_.
Thou
<0607>_,
O king
<04430>_,
hast made
<07761> (8754)
a decree
<02942>_,
that every
<03606>
man
<0606>
that shall hear
<08086> (8748)
the sound
<07032>
of the cornet
<07162>_,
flute
<04953>_,
harp
<07030> (8675) <07030>_,
sackbut
<05443>_,
psaltery
<06460>_,
and dulcimer
<05481> (8675) <05481>_,
and all
<03606>
kinds
<02178>
of musick
<02170>_,
shall fall down
<05308> (8748)
and worship
<05457> (8748)
the golden
<01722>
image
<06755>_:
{dulcimer: or, singing: Chaldee, symphony}
And whoso
<04479>
falleth
<05308> (0)
not
<03809>
down
<05308> (8748)
and worshippeth
<05457> (8748)_,
[that] he should be cast
<07412> (8729)
into the midst
<01459>
of a burning
<03345> (8751)
fiery
<05135>
furnace
<0861>_.
There are
<0383>
certain
<01400>
Jews
<03062>
whom
<03487>
thou hast set
<04483> (8745)
over
<05922>
the affairs
<05673>
of the province
<04083>
of Babylon
<0895>_,
Shadrach
<07715>_,
Meshach
<04336>_,
and Abednego
<05665>_;
these
<0479>
men
<01400>_,
O king
<04430>_,
have
<07761> (8754)
not
<03809>
regarded
<02942>
thee
<05922>_:
they serve
<06399> (8750)
not
<03809>
thy gods
<0426>_,
nor
<03809>
worship
<05457> (8750)
the golden
<01722>
image
<06755>
which thou hast set up
<06966> (8684)_.
{have...: Chaldee, have set no regard upon thee}
Then
<0116>
Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>
in [his] rage
<07266>
and fury
<02528>
commanded
<0560> (8754)
to bring
<0858> (8682)
Shadrach
<07715>_,
Meshach
<04336>_,
and Abednego
<05665>_.
Then
<0116>
they brought
<0858> (8717)
these
<0479>
men
<01400>
before
<06925>
the king
<04430>_.
Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>
spake
<06032> (8750)
and said
<0560> (8750)
unto them, [Is it] true
<06656>_,
O Shadrach
<07715>_,
Meshach
<04336>_,
and Abednego
<05665>_,
do not
<03809>
ye
<0383>
serve
<06399> (8750)
my gods
<0426>_,
nor
<03809>
worship
<05457> (8750)
the golden
<01722>
image
<06755>
which I have set
<06966> (8684)
up? {true: or, of purpose}
Now
<03705>
if
<02006>
ye be
<0383>
ready
<06263>
that at what time
<05732>
ye hear
<08086> (8748)
the sound
<07032>
of the cornet
<07162>_,
flute
<04953>_,
harp
<07030> (8675) <07030>_,
sackbut
<05443>_,
psaltery
<06460>_,
and dulcimer
<05481>_,
and all
<03606>
kinds
<02178>
of musick
<02170>_,
ye fall down
<05308> (8748)
and worship
<05457> (8748)
the image
<06755>
which I have made
<05648> (8754)_;
[well]: but if
<02006>
ye worship
<05457> (8748)
not
<03809>_,
ye shall be cast
<07412> (8729)
the same hour
<08160>
into the midst
<01459>
of a burning
<03345> (8751)
fiery
<05135>
furnace
<0861>_;
and who
<04479>
[is] that God
<0426>
that shall deliver
<07804> (8755)
you out of
<04481>
my hands
<03028>_?
{dulcimer: or, singing: Chaldee, symphony}
Shadrach
<07715>_,
Meshach
<04336>_,
and Abednego
<05665>_,
answered
<06032> (8754)
and said
<0560> (8750)
to the king
<04430>_,
O Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>_,
we
<0586>
[are] not
<03809>
careful
<02818> (8750)
to answer
<08421> (8682)
thee in
<05922>
this
<01836>
matter
<06600>_.
If
<02006>
it be [so], our God
<0426>
whom we
<0586>
serve
<06399> (8750)
is
<0383>
able
<03202> (8750)
to deliver
<07804> (8756)
us from
<04481>
the burning
<03345> (8751)
fiery
<05135>
furnace
<0861>_,
and
<04481> (0)
he will deliver
<07804> (8755)
[us] out of
<04481>
thine hand
<03028>_,
O king
<04430>_.
But if
<02006>
not
<03809>_,
be it
<01934> (8748)
known
<03046> (8752)
unto thee, O king
<04430>_,
that we will
<0383>
not
<03809>
serve
<06399> (8750)
thy gods
<0426>_,
nor
<03809>
worship
<05457> (8748)
the golden
<01722>
image
<06755>
which thou hast set up
<06966> (8684)_.
Then
<0116>
was Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>
full
<04391> (8728)
of fury
<02528>_,
and the form
<06755>
of his visage
<0600>
was changed
<08133> (8724)
against
<05922>
Shadrach
<07715>_,
Meshach
<04336>_,
and Abednego
<05665>_:
[therefore] he spake
<06032> (8750)_,
and commanded
<0560> (8750)
that they should heat
<0228> (8749)
the furnace
<0861>
one
<02298>
seven times
<07655>
more
<05922>
than
<01768>
it was wont
<02370> (8752)
to be heated
<0228> (8749)_.
{full: Chaldee, filled}
And he commanded
<0560> (8754)
the most
<02429>
mighty
<01401>
men
<01400>
that [were] in his army
<02429>
to bind
<03729> (8742)
Shadrach
<07715>_,
Meshach
<04336>_,
and Abednego
<05665>_,
[and] to cast
<07412> (8749)
[them] into the burning
<03345> (8751)
fiery
<05135>
furnace
<0861>_.
{most...: Chaldee, mighty of strength}
Then
<0116>
these
<0479>
men
<01400>
were bound
<03729> (8760)
in their coats
<05622>_,
their hosen
<06361> (8675) <06361>_,
and their hats
<03737>_,
and their [other] garments
<03831>_,
and were cast
<07412> (8752)
into the midst
<01459>
of the burning
<03345> (8751)
fiery
<05135>
furnace
<0861>_.
{coats: or, mantles} {hats: or, turbans}
Therefore
<03606> <06903>
because
<04481> <01836>
the king's
<04430>
commandment
<04406>
was urgent
<02685> (8683)_,
and the furnace
<0861>
exceeding
<03493>
hot
<0228> (8752)_,
the flame
<07631>
of the fire
<05135>
slew
<06992> (8745)
those
<0479>
men
<01400> <01994>
that took up
<05267> (8684)
Shadrach
<07715>_,
Meshach
<04336>_,
and Abednego
<05665>_.
{commandment: Chaldee, word} {flame: or, spark}
And these
<0479>
three
<08532>
men
<01400>_,
Shadrach
<07715>_,
Meshach
<04336>_,
and Abednego
<05665>_,
fell down
<05308> (8754)
bound
<03729> (8743)
into the midst
<01459>
of the burning
<03345> (8751)
fiery
<05135>
furnace
<0861>_.
Then
<0116>
Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>
the king
<04430>
was astonied
<08429> (8754)_,
and rose up
<06966> (8754)
in haste
<0927> (8726)_,
[and] spake
<06032> (8750)_,
and said
<0560> (8750)
unto his counsellors
<01907>_,
Did not
<03809>
we cast
<07412> (8754)
three
<08532>
men
<01400>
bound
<03729> (8743)
into the midst
<01459>
of the fire
<05135>_?
They answered
<06032> (8750)
and said
<0560> (8750)
unto the king
<04430>_,
True
<03330>_,
O king
<04430>_.
{counsellors: or, governors}
He answered
<06032> (8750)
and said
<0560> (8750)_,
Lo
<01888>_,
I
<0576>
see
<02370> (8751)
four
<0703>
men
<01400>
loose
<08271> (8750)_,
walking
<01981> (8683)
in the midst
<01459>
of the fire
<05135>_,
and they have
<0383>
no
<03809>
hurt
<02257>_;
and the form
<07299>
of the fourth
<07244>
is like
<01821> (8751)
the Son
<01247>
of God
<0426>_.
{they...: Chaldee, there is no hurt in them}
Then
<0116>
Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>
came near
<07127> (8754)
to the mouth
<08651>
of the burning
<03345> (8751)
fiery
<05135>
furnace
<0861>_,
[and] spake
<06032> (8750)_,
and said
<0560> (8750)_,
Shadrach
<07715>_,
Meshach
<04336>_,
and Abednego
<05665>_,
ye servants
<05649>
of the most high
<05943>
God
<0426>_,
come forth
<05312> (8747)_,
and come
<0858> (8747)
[hither]. Then
<0116>
Shadrach
<07715>_,
Meshach
<04336>_,
and Abednego
<05665>_,
came forth
<05312> (8750)
of
<04481>
the midst
<01459>
of the fire
<05135>_.
{mouth: Chaldee, door}
And the princes
<0324>_,
governors
<05460>_,
and captains
<06347>_,
and the king's
<04430>
counsellors
<01907>_,
being gathered together
<03673> (8723)_,
saw
<02370> (8751)
these
<0479>
men
<01400>_,
upon whose bodies
<01655>
the fire
<05135>
had no
<03809>
power
<07981> (8754)_,
nor
<03809>
was an hair
<08177>
of their head
<07217>
singed
<02761> (8724)_,
neither
<03809>
were their coats
<05622>
changed
<08133> (8754)_,
nor
<03809>
the smell
<07382>
of fire
<05135>
had passed
<05709> (8754)
on them.
[Then] Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>
spake
<06032> (8750)_,
and said
<0560> (8750)_,
Blessed
<01289> (8752)
[be] the God
<0426>
of Shadrach
<07715>_,
Meshach
<04336>_,
and Abednego
<05665>_,
who hath sent
<07972> (8754)
his angel
<04398>_,
and delivered
<07804> (8758)
his servants
<05649>
that trusted
<07365> (8702)
in him
<05922>_,
and have changed
<08133> (8745)
the king's
<04430>
word
<04406>_,
and yielded
<03052> (8754)
their bodies
<01655>_,
that they might not
<03809>
serve
<06399> (8748)
nor
<03809>
worship
<05457> (8748)
any
<03606>
god
<0426>_,
except
<03861>
their own God
<0426>_.
Therefore I
<04481>
make
<07761> (8752)
a decree
<02942>_,
That every
<03606>
people
<05972>_,
nation
<0524>_,
and language
<03961>_,
which speak
<0560> (8748)
any thing amiss
<07960> (8675) <07955>
against
<05922>
the God
<0426>
of Shadrach
<07715>_,
Meshach
<04336>_,
and Abednego
<05665>_,
shall be cut
<05648> (8725)
in pieces
<01917>_,
and their houses
<01005>
shall be made
<07739> (8721)
a dunghill
<05122>_:
because
<06903> <03606>
there is
<0383>
no
<03809>
other
<0321>
God
<0426>
that can
<03202> (8748)
deliver
<05338> (8682)
after this
<01836>
sort. {I make...: Chaldee, a decree is made by me} {any...: Chaldee, error} {cut...: Chaldee, made pieces}
Then
<0116>
the king
<04430>
promoted
<06744> (8684)
Shadrach
<07715>_,
Meshach
<04336>_,
and Abednego
<05665>_,
in the province
<04083>
of Babylon
<0895>_.
{promoted: Chaldee, made to prosper}
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.
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}
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>_.
I
<0576>
Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>
was
<01934> (8754)
at rest
<07954> (8752)
in mine house
<01005>_,
and flourishing
<07487>
in my palace
<01965>_:
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.
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>_.
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.
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],
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.
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}
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>_:
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>_.
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>_;
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}
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>_:
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.
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>_.
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.
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>_.
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>_;
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)_:
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>_.
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;
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>_:
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)_.
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>_.
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}
All
<03606>
this came
<04291> (8754)
upon
<05922>
the king
<04430>
Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>_.
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}
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>_?
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.
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)_.
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].
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>_:
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?
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.
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)_.
Belshazzar
<01113>
the king
<04430>
made
<05648> (8754)
a great
<07229>
feast
<03900>
to a thousand
<0506>
of his lords
<07261>_,
and drank
<08355> (8750)
wine
<02562>
before
<06903>
the thousand
<0506>_.
Belshazzar
<01113>_,
whiles he tasted
<02942>
the wine
<02562>_,
commanded
<0560> (8754)
to bring
<0858> (8682)
the golden
<01722>
and silver
<03702>
vessels
<03984>
which his father
<02>
Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>
had taken
<05312> (8684)
out of
<04481>
the temple
<01965>
which [was] in Jerusalem
<03390>_;
that the king
<04430>_,
and his princes
<07261>_,
his wives
<07695>_,
and his concubines
<03904>_,
might drink
<08355> (8748)
therein. {father: or, grandfather} {taken: Chaldee, brought forth}
Then
<0116>
they brought
<0858> (8684)
the golden
<01722>
vessels
<03984>
that were taken
<05312> (8684)
out of
<04481>
the temple
<01965>
of the house
<01005>
of God
<0426>
which [was] at Jerusalem
<03390>_;
and the king
<04430>_,
and his princes
<07261>_,
his wives
<07695>_,
and his concubines
<03904>_,
drank
<08355> (8754)
in them.
They drank
<08355> (8754)
wine
<02562>_,
and praised
<07624> (8745)
the gods
<0426>
of gold
<01722>_,
and of silver
<03702>_,
of brass
<05174>_,
of iron
<06523>_,
of wood
<0636>_,
and of stone
<069>_.
In the same hour
<08160>
came forth
<05312> (8754)
fingers
<0677>
of a man's
<0606>
hand
<03028>_,
and wrote
<03790> (8751)
over against
<06903>
the candlestick
<05043>
upon
<05922>
the plaister
<01528>
of the wall
<03797>
of the king's
<04430>
palace
<01965>_:
and the king
<04430>
saw
<02370> (8751)
the part
<06447>
of the hand
<03028>
that wrote
<03790> (8751)_.
Then
<0116>
the king's
<04430>
countenance
<02122>
was changed
<08133> (8754)_,
and his thoughts
<07476>
troubled
<0927> (8792)
him, so that the joints
<07001>
of his loins
<02783>
were loosed
<08271> (8723)_,
and his knees
<0755>
smote
<05368> (8750)
one
<01668>
against another
<01668>_.
{countenance: Chaldee, brightnesses} {was changed: Chaldee, changed it} {joints: or, girdles: Chaldee, bindings, or, knots}
The king
<04430>
cried
<07123> (8748)
aloud
<02429>
to bring
<05954> (8682)
in the astrologers
<0826>_,
the Chaldeans
<03779>_,
and the soothsayers
<01505> (8750)_.
[And] the king
<04430>
spake
<06032> (8750)_,
and said
<0560> (8750)
to the wise
<02445>
[men] of Babylon
<0895>_,
Whosoever
<0606> <03606>
shall read
<07123> (8751)
this
<01836>
writing
<03792>_,
and shew
<02324> (8741)
me the interpretation
<06591>
thereof, shall be clothed
<03848> (8748)
with scarlet
<0711>_,
and [have] a chain
<02002>
of gold
<01722>
about
<05922>
his neck
<06676>_,
and shall be the third
<08523>
ruler
<07981> (8748)
in the kingdom
<04437>_.
{aloud: Chaldee, with might} {scarlet: or, purple}
Then
<0116>
came
<05954> (8750)
in all
<03606>
the king's
<04430>
wise
<02445>
[men]: but they could
<03546> (8751)
not
<03809>
read
<07123> (8749)
the writing
<03792>_,
nor make known
<03046> (8682)
to the king
<04430>
the interpretation
<06591>
thereof.
Then
<0116>
was king
<04430>
Belshazzar
<01113>
greatly
<07690>
troubled
<0927> (8727)_,
and his countenance
<02122>
was changed
<08133> (8750)
in him
<05922>_,
and his lords
<07261>
were astonied
<07672> (8723)_.
{countenance: Chaldee, brightnesses}
[Now] the queen
<04433>_,
by reason
<06903>
of the words
<04406>
of the king
<04430>
and his lords
<07261>_,
came
<05954> (8754)
into the banquet
<04961>
house
<01005>_:
[and] the queen
<04433>
spake
<06032> (8754)
and said
<0560> (8754)_,
O king
<04430>_,
live
<02418> (8747)
for ever
<05957>_:
let not
<0409>
thy thoughts
<07476>
trouble
<0927> (8792)
thee, nor let thy countenance
<02122>
be changed
<08133> (8721)_:
There is
<0383>
a man
<01400>
in thy kingdom
<04437>_,
in whom [is] the spirit
<07308>
of the holy
<06922>
gods
<0426>_;
and in the days
<03118>
of thy father
<02>
light
<05094>
and understanding
<07924>
and wisdom
<02452>_,
like the wisdom
<02452>
of the gods
<0426>_,
was found
<07912> (8728)
in him; whom the king
<04430>
Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>
thy father
<02>_,
the king
<04430>_,
[I say], thy father
<02>_,
made
<06966> (8684)
master
<07229>
of the magicians
<02749>_,
astrologers
<0826>_,
Chaldeans
<03779>_,
[and] soothsayers
<01505> (8750)_;
{father: or, grandfather}
Forasmuch as
<06903> <03606>
an excellent
<03493>
spirit
<07308>_,
and knowledge
<04486>_,
and understanding
<07924>_,
interpreting
<06590> (8743)
of dreams
<02493>_,
and shewing
<0263>
of hard sentences
<0280>_,
and dissolving
<08271> (8743)
of doubts
<07001>_,
were found
<07912> (8728)
in the same Daniel
<01841>_,
whom the king
<04430>
named
<07761> (8754) <08036>
Belteshazzar
<01096>_:
now
<03705>
let Daniel
<01841>
be called
<07123> (8729)_,
and he will shew
<02324> (8681)
the interpretation
<06591>_.
{interpreting: or, of an interpreter} {dissolving: or, of a dissolver} {doubts: Chaldee, knots}
Then
<0116>
was Daniel
<01841>
brought in
<05954> (8717)
before
<06925>
the king
<04430>_.
[And] the king
<04430>
spake
<06032> (8750)
and said
<0560> (8750)
unto Daniel
<01841>_,
[Art] thou
<0607>
that Daniel
<01841>_,
which [art] of
<04481>
the children
<01123>
of the captivity
<01547>
of Judah
<03061>_,
whom the king
<04430>
my father
<02>
brought
<0858> (8684)
out of
<04481>
Jewry
<03061>_?
{father: or, grandfather}
I have even heard
<08086> (8754)
of thee, that the spirit
<07308>
of the gods
<0426>
[is] in thee
<05922>_,
and [that] light
<05094>
and understanding
<07924>
and excellent
<03493>
wisdom
<02452>
is found
<07912> (8728)
in thee.
And now
<03705>
the wise
<02445>
[men], the astrologers
<0826>_,
have been brought
<05954> (8717)
in before
<06925>
me, that they should read
<07123> (8748)
this
<01836>
writing
<03792>_,
and make known
<03046> (8682)
unto me the interpretation
<06591>
thereof: but they could
<03546> (8751)
not
<03809>
shew
<02324> (8682)
the interpretation
<06591>
of the thing
<04406>_:
And I
<0576>
have heard
<08086> (8754)
of thee
<05922>_,
that thou canst
<03202> (8748)
make
<06590> (8749)
interpretations
<06591>_,
and dissolve
<08271> (8749)
doubts
<07001>_:
now
<03705>
if
<02006>
thou canst
<03202> (8748)
read
<07123> (8749)
the writing
<03792>_,
and make known
<03046> (8682)
to me the interpretation
<06591>
thereof, thou shalt be clothed
<03848> (8748)
with scarlet
<0711>_,
and [have] a chain
<02002>
of gold
<01722>
about
<05922>
thy neck
<06676>_,
and shalt be the third
<08531>
ruler
<07981> (8748)
in the kingdom
<04437>_.
{make interpretations: Chaldee, interpret, etc}
Then
<0116>
Daniel
<01841>
answered
<06032> (8750)
and said
<0560> (8750)
before
<06925>
the king
<04430>_,
Let thy gifts
<04978>
be
<01934> (8748)
to thyself, and give
<03052> (8747)
thy rewards
<05023>
to another
<0321>_;
yet
<01297>
I will read
<07123> (8748)
the writing
<03792>
unto the king
<04430>_,
and make known
<03046> (8681)
to him the interpretation
<06591>_.
{rewards: or, fee}
O thou
<0607>
king
<04430>_,
the most high
<05943>
God
<0426>
gave
<03052> (8754)
Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>
thy father
<02>
a kingdom
<04437>_,
and majesty
<07238>_,
and glory
<03367>_,
and honour
<01923>_:
And for
<04481>
the majesty
<07238>
that he gave
<03052> (8754)
him, all
<03606>
people
<05972>_,
nations
<0524>_,
and languages
<03961>_,
trembled
<01934> (8754) <02112>
and feared
<01763> (8751)
before
<04481>
him
<06925>_:
whom he would
<01934> (8754) <06634> (8750)
he slew
<01934> (8754) <06992> (8751)_;
and whom he would
<01934> (8754) <06634> (8750)
he kept alive
<01934> (8754) <02418> (8683)_;
and whom he would
<01934> (8754) <06634> (8750)
he set up
<01934> (8754) <07313> (8683)_;
and whom he would
<01934> (8754) <06634> (8750)
he put down
<01934> (8754) <08214> (8683)_.
But when his heart
<03825>
was lifted up
<07313> (8752)_,
and his mind
<07308>
hardened
<08631> (8748)
in pride
<02103> (8682)_,
he was deposed
<05182> (8717)
from
<04481>
his kingly
<04437>
throne
<03764>_,
and they took
<05709> (8684)
his glory
<03367>
from him
<04481>_:
{in pride: or, to deal proudly} {deposed: Chaldee, made to come down}
And he was driven
<02957> (8752)
from
<04481>
the sons
<01123>
of men
<0606>_;
and his heart
<03825>
was made
<07739> (8745)
like
<05974>
the beasts
<02423>_,
and his dwelling
<04070>
[was] with the wild asses
<06167>_:
they fed
<02939> (8748)
him with grass
<06211>
like oxen
<08450>_,
and his body
<01655>
was wet
<06647> (8721)
with the dew
<02920>
of heaven
<08065>_;
till
<05705>
he knew
<03046> (8754)
that the most high
<05943>
God
<0426>
ruled
<07990>
in the kingdom
<04437>
of men
<0606>_,
and [that] he appointeth
<06966> (8681)
over
<05922>
it whomsoever
<04479>
he will
<06634> (8748)_.
{his heart...: or, he made his heart equal, etc}
And thou
<0607>
his son
<01247>_,
O Belshazzar
<01113>_,
hast not
<03809>
humbled
<08214> (8684)
thine heart
<03825>_,
though
<06903>
thou knewest
<03046> (8754)
all
<03606>
this
<01836>_;
But hast lifted up
<07313> (8712)
thyself against
<05922>
the Lord
<04756>
of heaven
<08065>_;
and they have brought
<0858> (8684)
the vessels
<03984>
of his house
<01005>
before
<06925>
thee, and thou
<0607>_,
and thy lords
<07261>_,
thy wives
<07695>_,
and thy concubines
<03904>_,
have drunk
<08355> (8750)
wine
<02562>
in them; and thou hast praised
<07624> (8745)
the gods
<0426>
of silver
<03702>_,
and gold
<01722>_,
of brass
<05174>_,
iron
<06523>_,
wood
<0636>_,
and stone
<069>_,
which see
<02370> (8751)
not
<03809>_,
nor
<03809>
hear
<08086> (8750)_,
nor
<03809>
know
<03046> (8751)_:
and the God
<0426>
in whose hand
<03028>
thy breath
<05396>
[is], and whose [are] all
<03606>
thy ways
<0735>_,
hast thou not
<03809>
glorified
<01922> (8745)_:
Then
<0116>
was the part
<06447>
of the hand
<03028>
sent
<07972> (8750)
from
<04481>
him
<06925>_;
and this
<01836>
writing
<03792>
was written
<07560> (8752)_.
And this
<01836>
[is] the writing
<03792>
that was written
<07560> (8752)_,
MENE
<04484> (8752)_,
MENE
<04484> (8752)_,
TEKEL
<08625> (8752)_,
UPHARSIN
<06537> (8751)_.
This
<01836>
[is] the interpretation
<06591>
of the thing
<04406>_:
MENE
<04484> (8752)_;
God
<0426>
hath numbered
<04483> (8754)
thy kingdom
<04437>_,
and finished
<08000> (8684)
it.
TEKEL
<08625> (8752)_;
Thou art weighed
<08625> (8760)
in the balances
<03977>_,
and art found
<07912> (8728)
wanting
<02627>_.
PERES
<06537> (8752)_;
Thy kingdom
<04437>
is divided
<06537> (8752)_,
and given
<03052> (8753)
to the Medes
<04076>
and Persians
<06540>_.
Then
<0116>
commanded
<0560> (8754)
Belshazzar
<01113>_,
and they clothed
<03848> (8684)
Daniel
<01841>
with scarlet
<0711>_,
and [put] a chain
<02002>
of gold
<01722>
about
<05922>
his neck
<06676>_,
and made a proclamation
<03745> (8684)
concerning
<05922>
him, that he should be
<01934> (8748)
the third
<08531>
ruler
<07990>
in the kingdom
<04437>_.
In that night
<03916>
was Belshazzar
<01113>
the king
<04430>
of the Chaldeans
<03779>
slain
<06992> (8752)_.
And Darius
<01868>
the Median
<04077>
took
<06902> (8745)
the kingdom
<04437>_,
[being] about threescore
<08361>
and two
<08648>
years
<08140>
old
<01247>_.
{being...: Chaldee, he as the son of, etc} {about: or, now}
It pleased
<06925> <08232> (8754)
Darius
<01868>
to set
<06966> (8684)
over
<05922>
the kingdom
<04437>
an hundred
<03969>
and twenty
<06243>
princes
<0324>_,
which should be
<01934> (8748)
over the whole
<03606>
kingdom
<04437>_;
And over
<05924>
these
<04481>
three
<08532>
presidents
<05632>_;
of whom
<04481>
Daniel
<01841>
[was] first
<02298>_:
that
<0459>
the princes
<0324>
might
<01934> (8748)
give
<03052> (8751)
accounts
<02941>
unto them, and the king
<04430>
should have
<01934> (8748)
no
<03809>
damage
<05142> (8752)_.
Then
<0116>
this
<01836>
Daniel
<01841>
was
<01934> (8754)
preferred
<05330> (8723)
above
<05922>
the presidents
<05632>
and princes
<0324>_,
because
<03606> <06903>
an excellent
<03493>
spirit
<07308>
[was] in him; and the king
<04430>
thought
<06246> (8754)
to set
<06966> (8682)
him over
<05922>
the whole
<03606>
realm
<04437>_.
Then
<0116>
the presidents
<05632>
and princes
<0324>
sought
<01934> (8754) <01156> (8750)
to find
<07912> (8682)
occasion
<05931>
against Daniel
<01841>
concerning
<06655>
the kingdom
<04437>_;
but
<03606>
they could
<03202> (8750)
find
<07912> (8682)
none
<03809>
occasion
<05931>
nor
<03809>
fault
<07844> (8752)_;
forasmuch
<06903>
as he [was] faithful
<0540> (8683)_,
neither
<03809>
was there any
<03606>
error
<07960>
or fault
<07844> (8752)
found
<07912> (8728)
in him
<05922>_.
Then
<0116>
said
<0560> (8750)
these
<0479>
men
<01400>_,
We shall not
<03809>
find
<07912> (8684)
any
<03606>
occasion
<05931>
against
<05922>
this
<01836>
Daniel
<01841>_,
except
<03861>
we find
<07912> (8681)
[it] against him concerning the law
<01882>
of his God
<0426>_.
Then
<0116>
these
<0459>
presidents
<05632>
and princes
<0324>
assembled together
<07284> (8684)
to the king
<04430>_,
and said
<0560> (8750)
thus
<03652>
unto him
<05922>_,
King
<04430>
Darius
<01868>_,
live
<02418> (8747)
for ever
<05957>_.
{assembled...: or, came tumultuously}
All
<03606>
the presidents
<05632>
of the kingdom
<04437>_,
the governors
<05460>_,
and the princes
<0324>_,
the counsellors
<01907>_,
and the captains
<06347>_,
have consulted together
<03272> (8724)
to establish
<06966> (8742)
a royal
<04430>
statute
<07010>_,
and to make a firm
<08631> (8742)
decree
<0633>_,
that whosoever shall ask
<01156> (8748)
a petition
<01159>
of
<04481>
any
<03606>
God
<0426>
or man
<0606>
for
<05705>
thirty
<08533>
days
<03118>_,
save
<03861>
of thee
<04481>_,
O king
<04430>_,
he shall be cast
<07412> (8729)
into the den
<01358>
of lions
<0744>_.
{decree: or, interdict}
Now
<03705>_,
O king
<04430>_,
establish
<06966> (8681)
the decree
<0633>_,
and sign
<07560> (8748)
the writing
<03792>_,
that it be not
<03809>
changed
<08133> (8682)_,
according to the law
<01882>
of the Medes
<04076>
and Persians
<06540>_,
which altereth
<05709> (8748)
not
<03809>_.
{altereth not: Chaldee, passeth not}
Wherefore
<03606> <01836> <06903>
king
<04430>
Darius
<01868>
signed
<07560> (8754)
the writing
<03792>
and the decree
<0633>_.
Now when Daniel
<01841>
knew
<03046> (8754)
that the writing
<03792>
was signed
<07560> (8752)_,
he went
<05954> (8754)
into his house
<01005>_;
and his windows
<03551>
being open
<06606> (8759)
in his chamber
<05952>
toward
<05049>
Jerusalem
<03390>_,
he kneeled
<01289> (8750)
upon
<05922>
his knees
<01291>
three
<08532>
times
<02166>
a day
<03118>_,
and prayed
<06739> (8743)_,
and gave thanks
<03029> (8683)
before
<06925>
his God
<0426>_,
as
<06903> <03606>
he did
<01934> (8754) <05648> (8751)
aforetime
<04481> <01836> <06928>_.
Then
<0116>
these
<0479>
men
<01400>
assembled
<07284> (8684)_,
and found
<07912> (8684)
Daniel
<01841>
praying
<01156> (8750)
and making supplication
<02604> (8723)
before
<06925>
his God
<0426>_.
Then
<0116>
they came near
<07127> (8754)_,
and spake
<0560> (8750)
before
<06925>
the king
<04430>
concerning
<05922>
the king's
<04430>
decree
<0633>_;
Hast thou not
<03809>
signed
<07560> (8754)
a decree
<0633>_,
that every
<03606>
man
<0606>
that shall ask
<01156> (8748)
[a petition] of
<04481>
any
<03606>
God
<0426>
or man
<0606>
within
<05705>
thirty
<08533>
days
<03118>_,
save
<03861>
of thee
<04481>_,
O king
<04430>_,
shall be cast
<07412> (8729)
into the den
<01358>
of lions
<0744>_?
The king
<04430>
answered
<06032> (8750)
and said
<0560> (8750)_,
The thing
<04406>
[is] true
<03330>_,
according to the law
<01882>
of the Medes
<04076>
and Persians
<06540>_,
which altereth
<05709> (8748)
not
<03809>_.
Then
<0116>
answered
<06032> (8754)
they and said
<0560> (8750)
before
<06925>
the king
<04430>_,
That Daniel
<01841>_,
which [is] of
<04481>
the children
<01123>
of the captivity
<01547>
of Judah
<03061>_,
regardeth
<07761> (8754) <02942>
not
<03809>
thee
<05922>_,
O king
<04430>_,
nor the decree
<0633>
that thou hast signed
<07560> (8754)_,
but maketh
<01156> (8750)
his petition
<01159>
three
<08532>
times
<02166>
a day
<03118>_.
Then
<0116>
the king
<04430>_,
when he heard
<08086> (8754)
[these] words
<04406>_,
was sore
<07690>
displeased
<0888> (8754)
with himself, and set
<07761> (8754)
[his] heart
<01079>
on
<05922>
Daniel
<01841>
to deliver
<07804> (8756)
him: and he laboured
<01934> (8754) <07712> (8723)
till
<05705>
the going down
<04606>
of the sun
<08122>
to deliver
<05338> (8682)
him.
Then
<0116>
these
<0479>
men
<01400>
assembled
<07284> (8684)
unto
<05922>
the king
<04430>_,
and said
<0560> (8750)
unto the king
<04430>_,
Know
<03046> (8747)_,
O king
<04430>_,
that the law
<01882>
of the Medes
<04076>
and Persians
<06540>
[is], That no
<03606>
decree
<0633>
nor statute
<07010>
which the king
<04430>
establisheth
<06966> (8681)
may be changed
<08133> (8682)_.
Then
<0116>
the king
<04430>
commanded
<0560> (8754)_,
and they brought
<0858> (8684)
Daniel
<01841>_,
and cast
<07412> (8754)
[him] into the den
<01358>
of lions
<0744>_.
[Now] the king
<04430>
spake
<06032> (8750)
and said
<0560> (8750)
unto Daniel
<01841>_,
Thy God
<0426>
whom thou
<0607>
servest
<06399> (8750)
continually
<08411>_,
he will deliver
<07804> (8755)
thee.
And a
<02298>
stone
<069>
was brought
<0858> (8717)_,
and laid
<07761> (8752)
upon
<05922>
the mouth
<06433>
of the den
<01358>_;
and the king
<04430>
sealed
<02857> (8754)
it with his own signet
<05824>_,
and with the signet
<05824>
of his lords
<07261>_;
that the purpose
<06640>
might not
<03809>
be changed
<08133> (8748)
concerning Daniel
<01841>_.
Then
<0116>
the king
<04430>
went
<0236> (8754)
to his palace
<01965>_,
and passed the night
<0956> (8754)
fasting
<02908>_:
neither
<03809>
were instruments
<01761>
of musick brought
<05954> (8684)
before
<06925>
him: and his sleep
<08139>
went
<05075> (8754)
from him
<05922>_.
{instruments...: or, table}
Then
<0116>
the king
<04430>
arose
<06966> (8748)
very early
<08238>
in the morning
<05053>_,
and went
<0236> (8754)
in haste
<0927> (8726)
unto the den
<01358>
of lions
<0744>_.
And when he came
<07127> (8749)
to the den
<01358>_,
he cried
<02200> (8754)
with a lamentable
<06088> (8750)
voice
<07032>
unto Daniel
<01841>_:
[and] the king
<04430>
spake
<06032> (8750)
and said
<0560> (8750)
to Daniel
<01841>_,
O Daniel
<01841>_,
servant
<05649>
of the living
<02417>
God
<0426>_,
is thy God
<0426>_,
whom thou servest
<06399> (8750)
continually
<08411>_,
able
<03202> (8754)
to deliver
<07804> (8756)
thee from
<04481>
the lions
<0744>_?
Then
<0116>
said
<04449> (8745)
Daniel
<01841>
unto
<05974>
the king
<04430>_,
O king
<04430>_,
live
<02418> (8747)
for ever
<05957>_.
My God
<0426>
hath sent
<07972> (8754)
his angel
<04398>_,
and hath shut
<05463> (8754)
the lions
<0744>_'
mouths
<06433>_,
that they have not
<03809>
hurt
<02255> (8745)
me: forasmuch as
<03606> <06903>
before
<06925>
him innocency
<02136>
was found
<07912> (8728)
in me; and also
<0638>
before
<06925>
thee, O king
<04430>_,
have I done
<05648> (8754)
no
<03809>
hurt
<02248>_.
Then
<0116>
was the king
<04430>
exceeding
<07690>
glad
<02868> (8754)
for him
<05922>_,
and commanded
<0560> (8754)
that they should take
<05267> (0)
Daniel
<01841>
up
<05267> (8682)
out of
<04481>
the den
<01358>_.
So Daniel
<01841>
was taken up
<05267> (8717)
out of
<04481>
the den
<01358>_,
and no
<03809>
manner
<03606>
of hurt
<02257>
was found
<07912> (8728)
upon him, because he believed
<0540> (8684)
in his God
<0426>_.
And the king
<04430>
commanded
<0560> (8754)_,
and they brought
<0858> (8684)
those
<0479>
men
<01400>
which had accused
<0399> (8754) <07170>
Daniel
<01841>_,
and they cast
<07412> (8754)
[them] into the den
<01358>
of lions
<0744>_,
them
<0581>_,
their children
<01123>_,
and their wives
<05389>_;
and the lions
<0744>
had the mastery
<05705> <07981> (8754)
of them, and brake
<01855> (0)
all
<03606>
their bones
<01635>
in pieces
<01855> (8684)
or ever
<03809>
they came
<04291> (8754)
at the bottom
<0773>
of the den
<01358>_.
Then
<0116>
king
<04430>
Darius
<01868>
wrote
<03790> (8754)
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.
I
<04481> <06925>
make
<07761> (8752)
a decree
<02942>_,
That in every
<03606>
dominion
<07985>
of my kingdom
<04437>
men tremble
<01934> (8748) <02112>
and fear
<01763> (8751)
before
<04481> <06925>
the God
<0426>
of Daniel
<01841>_:
for he [is] the living
<02417>
God
<0426>_,
and stedfast
<07011>
for ever
<05957>_,
and his kingdom
<04437>
[that] which shall not
<03809>
be destroyed
<02255> (8721)_,
and his dominion
<07985>
[shall be even] unto
<05705>
the end
<05491>_.
He delivereth
<07804> (8757)
and rescueth
<05338> (8683)_,
and he worketh
<05648> (8751)
signs
<0852>
and wonders
<08540>
in heaven
<08065>
and in earth
<0772>_,
who hath delivered
<07804> (8758)
Daniel
<01841>
from
<04481>
the power
<03028>
of the lions
<0744>_.
{power: Chaldee, hand}
So this
<01836>
Daniel
<01841>
prospered
<06744> (8684)
in the reign
<04437>
of Darius
<01868>_,
and in the reign
<04437>
of Cyrus
<03567>
the Persian
<06543>_.
In the first
<02298>
year
<08140>
of Belshazzar
<01113>
king
<04430>
of Babylon
<0895>
Daniel
<01841>
had
<02370> (8754)
a dream
<02493>
and visions
<02376>
of his head
<07217>
upon
<05922>
his bed
<04903>_:
then
<0116>
he wrote
<03790> (8754)
the dream
<02493>_,
[and] told
<0560> (8754)
the sum
<07217>
of the matters
<04406>_.
{had: Chaldee, saw} {matters: or, words}
Daniel
<01841>
spake
<06032> (8750)
and said
<0560> (8750)_,
I saw
<02370> (8751) <01934> (8754)
in my vision
<02376>
by
<05974>
night
<03916>_,
and, behold
<0718>_,
the four
<0703>
winds
<07308>
of the heaven
<08065>
strove
<01519> (8683)
upon the great
<07229>
sea
<03221>_.
And four
<0703>
great
<07260>
beasts
<02423>
came up
<05559> (8751)
from
<04481>
the sea
<03221>_,
diverse
<08133> (8750)
one
<01668>
from
<04481>
another
<01668>_.
The first
<06933>
[was] like a lion
<0744>_,
and had eagle's
<05403>
wings
<01611>_:
I beheld
<01934> (8754) <02370> (8751)
till
<05705>
the wings
<01611>
thereof were plucked
<04804> (8760)_,
and it was lifted up
<05191> (8760)
from
<04481>
the earth
<0772>_,
and made stand
<06966> (8717)
upon
<05922>
the feet
<07271>
as a man
<0606>_,
and a man's
<0606>
heart
<03825>
was given
<03052> (8753)
to it. {and it: or, wherewith it}
And behold
<0718>
another
<0317>
beast
<02423>_,
a second
<08578>_,
like
<01821> (8751)
to a bear
<01678>_,
and it raised up
<06966> (8684)
itself on one
<02298>
side
<07859>_,
and [it had] three
<08532>
ribs
<05967>
in the mouth
<06433>
of it between
<0997>
the teeth
<08128>
of it: and they said
<0560> (8750)
thus
<03652>
unto it, Arise
<06966> (8747)_,
devour
<0399> (8747)
much
<07690>
flesh
<01321>_.
{it raised...: or, it raised up one dominion}
After
<0870>
this
<01836>
I beheld
<01934> (8754) <02370> (8751)_,
and lo
<0718>
another
<0317>_,
like a leopard
<05245>_,
which had upon
<05922>
the back
<01355>
of it four
<0703>
wings
<01611>
of a fowl
<05776>_;
the beast
<02423>
had also four
<0703>
heads
<07217>_;
and dominion
<07985>
was given
<03052> (8753)
to it.
After
<0870>
this
<01836>
I saw
<01934> (8754) <02370> (8751)
in the night
<03916>
visions
<02376>_,
and behold
<0718>
a fourth
<07244>
beast
<02423>_,
dreadful
<01763> (8753)
and terrible
<0574>_,
and strong
<08624>
exceedingly
<03493>_;
and it had great
<07260>
iron
<06523>
teeth
<08128>_:
it devoured
<0399> (8750)
and brake in pieces
<01855> (8683)_,
and stamped
<07512> (8751)
the residue
<07606>
with the feet
<07271>
of it: and it
<01932>
[was] diverse
<08133> (8743)
from
<04481>
all
<03606>
the beasts
<02423>
that [were] before
<06925>
it; and it had ten
<06236>
horns
<07162>_.
I considered
<01934> (8754) <07920> (8723)
the horns
<07162>_,
and, behold
<0431>_,
there came up
<05559> (8754)
among
<0997>
them another
<0317>
little
<02192>
horn
<07162>_,
before
<06925> <04481>
whom there were three
<08532>
of
<04481>
the first
<06933>
horns
<07162>
plucked up by the roots
<06132> (8725)_:
and, behold
<0431>_,
in this
<01668>
horn
<07162>
[were] eyes
<05870>
like the eyes
<05870>
of man
<0606>_,
and a mouth
<06433>
speaking
<04449> (8743)
great things
<07260>_.
I beheld
<01934> (8754) <02370> (8751)
till
<05705>
the thrones
<03764>
were cast down
<07412> (8752)_,
and the Ancient
<06268>
of days
<03118>
did sit
<03488> (8754)_,
whose garment
<03831>
[was] white
<02358>
as snow
<08517>_,
and the hair
<08177>
of his head
<07217>
like the pure
<05343>
wool
<06015>_:
his throne
<03764>
[was like] the fiery
<05135>
flame
<07631>_,
[and] his wheels
<01535>
[as] burning
<01815> (8751)
fire
<05135>_.
A fiery
<05135>
stream
<05103>
issued
<05047> (8743)
and came forth
<05312> (8750)
from
<04481>
before
<06925>
him: thousand
<0506>
thousands
<0506>
ministered
<08120> (8741)
unto him, and ten thousand
<07240>
times ten thousand
<07240>
stood
<06966> (8748)
before
<06925>
him: the judgment
<01780>
was set
<03488> (8754)_,
and the books
<05609>
were opened
<06606> (8760)_.
I beheld
<01934> (8754) <02370> (8751)
then
<0116>
because
<04481>
of the voice
<07032>
of the great
<07260>
words
<04406>
which the horn
<07162>
spake
<04449> (8743)_:
I beheld
<01934> (8754) <02370> (8751)
[even] till
<05705>
the beast
<02423>
was slain
<06992> (8752)_,
and his body
<01655>
destroyed
<07> (8717)_,
and given
<03052> (8753)
to the burning
<03346>
flame
<0785>_.
As concerning the rest
<07606>
of the beasts
<02423>_,
they had their dominion
<07985>
taken away
<05709> (8684)_:
yet their lives
<02417>
were prolonged
<03052> (8753)
for
<05705>
a season
<02166>
and time
<05732>_.
{their lives...: Chaldee, a prolonging in life was given them}
I saw
<01934> (8754) <02370> (8751)
in the night
<03916>
visions
<02376>_,
and, behold
<0718>_,
[one] like the Son
<01247>
of man
<0606>
came
<0858> (8750)
with
<05974>
the clouds
<06050>
of heaven
<08065>_,
and came
<04291> (8754)
to
<05705>
the Ancient
<06268>
of days
<03118>_,
and they brought him near
<07127> (8684)
before
<06925>
him.
And there was given
<03052> (8753)
him dominion
<07985>_,
and glory
<03367>_,
and a kingdom
<04437>_,
that all
<03606>
people
<05972>_,
nations
<0524>_,
and languages
<03961>_,
should serve
<06399> (8748)
him: his dominion
<07985>
[is] an everlasting
<05957>
dominion
<07985>_,
which shall not
<03809>
pass away
<05709> (8748)_,
and his kingdom
<04437>
[that] which shall not
<03809>
be destroyed
<02255> (8721)_.
I
<0576>
Daniel
<01841>
was grieved
<03735> (8730)
in my spirit
<07308>
in the midst
<01459>
of [my] body
<05085>_,
and the visions
<02376>
of my head
<07217>
troubled
<0927> (8792)
me. {body: Chaldee, sheath}
I came near
<07127> (8754)
unto
<05922>
one
<02298>
of
<04481>
them that stood by
<06966> (8750)_,
and asked
<01156> (8748)
him
<04481>
the truth
<03330>
of all
<03606>
this
<01836>_.
So he told
<0560> (8754)
me, and made me know
<03046> (8681)
the interpretation
<06591>
of the things
<04406>_.
These
<0459>
great
<07260>
beasts
<02423>_,
which
<0581>
are four
<0703>_,
[are] four
<0703>
kings
<04430>_,
[which] shall arise
<06966> (8748)
out of
<04481>
the earth
<0772>_.
But the saints
<06922>
of the most High
<05946>
shall take
<06902> (8741)
the kingdom
<04437>_,
and possess
<02631> (8681)
the kingdom
<04437>
for
<05705>
ever
<05957>_,
even for
<05705>
ever
<05957>
and ever
<05957>_.
{most...: Chaldee, high ones, that is, things, or, places}
Then
<0116>
I would
<06634> (8754)
know the truth
<03321> (8742)
of
<05922>
the fourth
<07244>
beast
<02423>_,
which was
<01934> (8754)
diverse
<08133> (8750)
from
<04481>
all
<03606>
the others, exceeding
<03493>
dreadful
<01763> (8753)_,
whose teeth
<08128>
[were of] iron
<06523>_,
and his nails
<02953>
[of] brass
<05174>_;
[which] devoured
<0399> (8750)_,
brake in pieces
<01855> (8683)_,
and stamped
<07512> (8751)
the residue
<07606>
with his feet
<07271>_;
{from...: Chaldee, from all those}
And of
<05922>
the ten
<06236>
horns
<07162>
that [were] in his head
<07217>_,
and [of] the other
<0317>
which came up
<05559> (8754)_,
and before
<04481> <06925>
whom three
<08532>
fell
<05308> (8754)_;
even [of] that horn
<07162>
that
<01797>
had eyes
<05870>_,
and a mouth
<06433>
that spake
<04449> (8743)
very great things
<07260>_,
whose look
<02376>
[was] more
<04481> (0)
stout
<07229>
than
<04481>
his fellows
<02273>_.
I beheld
<01934> (8754) <02370> (8751)_,
and the same
<01797>
horn
<07162>
made
<05648> (8751)
war
<07129>
with
<05974>
the saints
<06922>_,
and prevailed
<03202> (8750)
against them;
Until
<05705>
the Ancient
<06268>
of days
<03118>
came
<0858> (8754) <01768>_,
and judgment
<01780>
was given
<03052> (8753)
to the saints
<06922>
of the most High
<05946>_;
and the time
<02166>
came
<04291> (8754)
that the saints
<06922>
possessed
<02631> (8684)
the kingdom
<04437>_.
Thus
<03652>
he said
<0560> (8754)_,
The fourth
<07244>
beast
<02423>
shall be
<01934> (8748)
the fourth
<07244>
kingdom
<04437>
upon earth
<0772>_,
which shall be diverse
<08133> (8748)
from
<04481>
all
<03606>
kingdoms
<04437>_,
and shall devour
<0399> (8748)
the whole
<03606>
earth
<0772>_,
and shall tread it down
<01759> (8748)_,
and break it in pieces
<01855> (8681)_.
And the ten
<06236>
horns
<07162>
out of
<04481>
this kingdom
<04437>
[are] ten
<06236>
kings
<04430>
[that] shall arise
<06966> (8748)_:
and another
<0321>
shall rise
<06966> (8748)
after
<0311>
them; and he shall be diverse
<08133> (8748)
from
<04481>
the first
<06933>_,
and he shall subdue
<08214> (8681)
three
<08532>
kings
<04430>_.
And he shall speak
<04449> (8741)
[great] words
<04406>
against
<06655>
the most High
<05943>_,
and shall wear out
<01080> (8741)
the saints
<06922>
of the most High
<05946>_,
and think
<05452> (8748)
to change
<08133> (8682)
times
<02166>
and laws
<01882>_:
and they shall be given
<03052> (8725)
into his hand
<03028>
until
<05705>
a time
<05732>
and times
<05732>
and the dividing
<06387>
of time
<05732>_.
But the judgment
<01780>
shall sit
<03488> (8754)_,
and they shall take away
<05709> (8681)
his dominion
<07985>_,
to consume
<08046> (8682)
and to destroy
<07> (8682)
[it] unto
<05705>
the end
<05491>_.
And the kingdom
<04437>
and dominion
<07985>_,
and the greatness
<07238>
of the kingdom
<04437>
under
<08460>
the whole
<03606>
heaven
<08065>_,
shall be given
<03052> (8753)
to the people
<05972>
of the saints
<06922>
of the most High
<05946>_,
whose kingdom
<04437>
[is] an everlasting
<05957>
kingdom
<04437>_,
and all
<03606>
dominions
<07985>
shall serve
<06399> (8748)
and obey
<08086> (8721)
him. {dominions: or, rulers}
Hitherto
<05705> <03542>
[is] the end
<05491>
of the matter
<04406>_.
As for me
<0576>
Daniel
<01841>_,
my cogitations
<07476>
much
<07690>
troubled
<0927> (8792)
me, and my countenance
<02122>
changed
<08133> (8721)
in me
<05922>_:
but I kept
<05202> (8754)
the matter
<04406>
in my heart
<03821>_.
