Daniel 4:4-27

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}
