Daniel 4
Nebuchadnezzar
the
king,
unto
all
people,
nations,
and
languages,
that
dwell
in
all
the
earth;
Peace
be
multiplied
unto
you.
2 I
thought
it
good
to
shew
the
signs
and
wonders
that
the
high
God
hath
wrought
toward
me.
3 How
great
are
his
signs!
and
how
mighty
are
his
wonders!
his
a
kingdom
is
an
everlasting
kingdom,
and
his
dominion
is
from
generation
to
generation.
4 I
Nebuchadnezzar
was
at
rest
in
mine
house,
and
a
flourishing
in
my
palace:
5 I
saw
a
dream
which
made
me
afraid,
and
the
thoughts
upon
my
bed
and
the
visions
of
my
head
troubled
me.
6 Therefore
made
I
a
decree
to
bring
in
all
the
a
wise
men
of
Babylon
before
me,
that
they
might
make
known
unto
me
the
interpretation
of
the
dream.
7 Then
came
in
the
a
magicians,
the
astrologers,
the
Chaldeans,
and
the
soothsayers:
and
I
told
the
dream
before
them;
but
they
did
not
make
known
unto
me
the
interpretation
thereof.
8 But
at
the
last
Daniel
came
in
before
me,
whose
name
was
Belteshazzar,
according
to
the
name
of
my
god,
and
in
whom
is
the
spirit
of
the
holy
a
gods:
and
before
him
I
told
the
dream,
saying,
9 O
Belteshazzar,
master
of
the
magicians,
because
I
know
that
the
spirit
of
the
holy
gods
is
in
thee,
and
no
secret
troubleth
thee,
tell
me
the
visions
of
my
dream
that
I
have
seen,
and
the
interpretation
thereof.
10 Thus
were
the
visions
of
mine
head
in
my
bed;
I
saw,
and
behold
a
tree
in
the
midst
of
the
earth,
and
the
height
thereof
was
great.
11 The
tree
grew,
and
was
strong,
and
the
height
thereof
reached
unto
heaven,
and
the
sight
thereof
to
the
end
of
all
the
earth:
12 The
leaves
thereof
were
fair,
and
the
fruit
thereof
much,
and
in
it
was
meat
for
all:
the
beasts
of
the
field
had
shadow
under
it,
and
the
fowls
of
the
heaven
dwelt
in
the
boughs
thereof,
and
all
flesh
was
fed
of
it.
13 I
saw
in
the
visions
of
my
head
upon
my
bed,
and,
behold,
a
watcher
and
an
holy
one
came
down
from
heaven;
14 He
cried
aloud,
and
said
thus,
Hew
down
the
tree,
and
cut
off
his
branches,
shake
off
his
leaves,
and
scatter
his
fruit:
let
the
beasts
get
away
from
under
it,
and
the
fowls
from
his
branches:
15 Nevertheless
leave
the
stump
of
his
roots
in
the
earth,
even
with
a
band
of
iron
and
brass,
in
the
tender
grass
of
the
field;
and
let
it
be
wet
with
the
dew
of
heaven,
and
let
his
portion
be
with
the
beasts
in
the
grass
of
the
earth:
16 Let
his
heart
be
changed
from
man's,
and
let
a
beast's
heart
be
given
unto
him;
and
let
seven
a
times
pass
over
him.
17 This
matter
is
by
the
decree
of
the
watchers,
and
the
demand
by
the
word
of
the
holy
ones:
to
the
intent
that
the
living
may
know
that
the
most
High
ruleth
in
the
kingdom
of
men,
and
giveth
it
to
whomsoever
he
will,
and
setteth
up
over
it
the
a
basest
of
men.
18 This
dream
I
king
Nebuchadnezzar
have
seen.
Now
thou,
O
Belteshazzar,
declare
the
interpretation
thereof,
forasmuch
as
all
the
wise
men
of
my
kingdom
are
not
able
to
make
known
unto
me
the
interpretation:
but
thou
art
able;
for
the
a
spirit
of
the
b
holy
gods
is
in
thee.
19 Then
Daniel,
whose
name
was
Belteshazzar,
was
astonied
for
one
hour,
and
his
thoughts
troubled
him.
The
king
spake,
and
said,
Belteshazzar,
let
not
the
dream,
or
the
interpretation
thereof,
trouble
thee.
Belteshazzar
answered
and
said,
My
lord,
the
dream
be
to
them
that
hate
thee,
and
the
interpretation
thereof
to
thine
enemies.
20 The
tree
that
thou
sawest,
which
grew,
and
was
strong,
whose
height
reached
unto
the
heaven,
and
the
sight
thereof
to
all
the
earth;
21 Whose
leaves
were
fair,
and
the
fruit
thereof
much,
and
in
it
was
meat
for
all;
under
which
the
beasts
of
the
field
dwelt,
and
upon
whose
branches
the
fowls
of
the
heaven
had
their
habitation:
22 It
is
thou,
O
king,
that
art
grown
and
become
strong:
for
thy
greatness
is
grown,
and
reacheth
unto
heaven,
and
thy
a
dominion
to
the
end
of
the
earth.
23 And
whereas
the
king
saw
a
watcher
and
an
holy
one
coming
down
from
heaven,
and
saying,
Hew
the
tree
down,
and
destroy
it;
yet
leave
the
stump
of
the
roots
thereof
in
the
earth,
even
with
a
band
of
iron
and
brass,
in
the
tender
grass
of
the
field;
and
let
it
be
wet
with
the
dew
of
heaven,
and
let
his
portion
be
with
the
beasts
of
the
field,
till
seven
times
pass
over
him;
24 This
is
the
interpretation,
O
king,
and
this
is
the
decree
of
the
most
High,
which
is
come
upon
my
lord
the
king:
25 That
they
shall
drive
thee
from
men,
and
thy
dwelling
shall
be
with
the
beasts
of
the
field,
and
they
shall
make
thee
to
eat
grass
as
oxen,
and
they
shall
wet
thee
with
the
dew
of
heaven,
and
seven
times
shall
pass
over
thee,
till
thou
know
that
the
most
High
ruleth
in
the
kingdom
of
men,
and
giveth
it
to
whomsoever
he
will.
26 And
whereas
they
commanded
to
leave
the
stump
of
the
tree
roots;
thy
kingdom
shall
be
sure
unto
thee,
after
that
thou
shalt
have
known
that
the
heavens
do
rule.
27 Wherefore,
O
king,
let
my
counsel
be
acceptable
unto
thee,
and
break
off
thy
sins
by
righteousness,
and
thine
iniquities
by
shewing
a
mercy
to
the
poor;
b
if
it
may
be
a
lengthening
of
thy
tranquillity.
28 All
this
came
upon
the
king
Nebuchadnezzar.
29 At
the
end
of
twelve
months
he
walked
in
the
palace
of
the
kingdom
of
Babylon.
30 The
king
spake,
and
said,
Is
not
this
great
Babylon,
that
I
have
built
a
for
the
house
of
the
kingdom
by
the
might
of
my
power,
and
for
the
honour
of
my
majesty?
31 While
the
word
was
in
the
king's
mouth,
there
fell
a
voice
from
heaven,
saying,
O
king
Nebuchadnezzar,
to
thee
it
is
spoken;
The
kingdom
is
a
departed
from
thee.
32 And
they
shall
drive
thee
from
men,
and
thy
dwelling
shall
be
with
the
beasts
of
the
field:
they
shall
make
thee
to
eat
grass
as
oxen,
and
seven
times
shall
pass
over
thee,
until
thou
know
that
the
most
High
ruleth
in
the
kingdom
of
men,
and
giveth
it
to
whomsoever
he
will.
33 The
same
hour
was
the
thing
fulfilled
upon
Nebuchadnezzar:
and
he
was
driven
from
men,
and
did
eat
grass
as
oxen,
and
his
body
was
wet
with
the
dew
of
heaven,
till
his
hairs
were
grown
like
eagles'
feathers,
and
his
nails
like
birds'
claws.
34 And
at
the
end
of
a
the
days
I
Nebuchadnezzar
lifted
up
mine
eyes
unto
heaven,
and
mine
understanding
returned
unto
me,
and
I
blessed
the
most
High,
and
I
praised
and
honoured
him
that
liveth
for
ever,
whose
dominion
is
an
everlasting
dominion,
and
his
kingdom
is
from
generation
to
generation:
35 And
all
the
inhabitants
of
the
earth
are
reputed
as
a
nothing:
and
he
doeth
according
to
his
b
will
in
the
army
of
heaven,
and
among
the
inhabitants
of
the
earth:
and
none
can
c
stay
his
hand,
or
say
unto
him,
What
doest
thou?
36 At
the
same
time
my
reason
returned
unto
me;
and
for
the
glory
of
my
kingdom,
mine
honour
and
brightness
returned
unto
me;
and
my
counsellors
and
my
lords
sought
unto
me;
and
I
was
established
in
my
kingdom,
and
excellent
majesty
was
added
unto
me.
37 Now
I
Nebuchadnezzar
praise
and
extol
and
honour
the
King
of
heaven,
all
whose
works
are
truth,
and
his
ways
a
judgment:
and
those
that
b
walk
in
pride
he
is
able
to
c
abase.
