Daniel 4:1-19

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>_.
