  • DA-2:1 And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar

  • Nebuchadnezzar



  • dreamed dreams, wherewith his spirit was troubled, and his sleep

  • brake from



  • him.



  • DA-2:2 Then the king commanded to call the magicians, and the

  • astrologers,



  • and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans, for to show the king his

  • dreams. So they



  • came and stood before the king.



  • DA-2:3 And the king said unto them, I have dreamed a dream, and

  • my spirit was



  • troubled to know the dream.



  • DA-2:4 Then spake the Chaldeans to the king in Syriack, O king,

  • live for



  • ever: tell thy servants the dream, and we will show the

  • interpretation.



  • DA-2:5 The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, The thing

  • is gone from



  • me: if ye will not make known unto me the dream, with the

  • interpretation



  • thereof, ye shall be cut in pieces, and your houses shall be

  • made a dunghill.



  • DA-2:6 But if ye show the dream, and the interpretation thereof,

  • ye shall



  • receive of me gifts and rewards and great honour: therefore show

  • me the dream,



  • and the interpretation thereof.



  • DA-2:7 They answered again and said, Let the king tell his

  • servants the



  • dream, and we will show the interpretation of it.



  • DA-2:8 The king answered and said, I know of certainty that ye

  • would gain the



  • time, because ye see the thing is gone from me.



  • DA-2:9 But if ye will not make known unto me the dream, [there

  • is but] one



  • decree for you: for ye have prepared lying and corrupt words to

  • speak before



  • me, till the time be changed: therefore tell me the dream, and I

  • shall know



  • that ye can show me the interpretation thereof.



  • DA-2:10 The Chaldeans answered before the king, and said, There

  • is not a man



  • upon the earth that can show the king's matter: therefore [there

  • is] no king,



  • lord, nor ruler, [that] asked such things at any magician, or

  • astrologer, or



  • Chaldean.



  • DA-2:11 And [it is] a rare thing that the king requireth, and

  • there is none



  • other that can show it before the king, except the gods, whose

  • dwelling is not



  • with flesh.



  • DA-2:12 For this cause the king was angry and very furious, and

  • commanded to



  • destroy all the wise [men] of Babylon.



  • DA-2:13 And the decree went forth that the wise [men] should be

  • slain; and



  • they sought Daniel and his fellows to be slain.



  • DA-2:14 Then Daniel answered with counsel and wisdom to Arioch

  • the captain of



  • the king's guard, which was gone forth to slay the wise [men] of

  • Babylon:



  • DA-2:15 He answered and said to Arioch the king's captain, Why

  • [is] the



  • decree [so] hasty from the king? Then Arioch made the thing

  • known to Daniel.



  • DA-2:16 Then Daniel went in, and desired of the king that he

  • would give him



  • time, and that he would show the king the interpretation.



  • DA-2:17 Then Daniel went to his house, and made the thing known

  • to Hananiah,



  • Mishael, and Azariah, his companions:



  • DA-2:18 That they would desire mercies of the God of heaven

  • concerning this



  • secret; that Daniel and his fellows should not perish with the

  • rest of the



  • wise [men] of Babylon.



  • DA-2:19 Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a night

  • vision. Then



  • Daniel blessed the God of heaven.



  • DA-2:20 Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God

  • for ever and



  • ever: for wisdom and might are his:



  • DA-2:21 And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth

  • kings, and



  • setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge

  • to them that



  • know understanding:



  • DA-2:22 He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth

  • what [is] in the



  • darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.



  • DA-2:23 I thank thee, and praise thee, O thou God of my fathers,

  • who hast



  • given me wisdom and might, and hast made known unto me now what

  • we desired of



  • thee: for thou hast [now] made known unto us the king's matter.



  • DA-2:24 Therefore Daniel went in unto Arioch, whom the king had

  • ordained to



  • destroy the wise [men] of Babylon: he went and said thus unto

  • him; Destroy not



  • the wise [men] of Babylon: bring me in before the king, and I

  • will show unto



  • the king the interpretation.



  • DA-2:25 Then Arioch brought in Daniel before the king in haste,

  • and said thus



  • unto him, I have found a man of the captives of Judah, that will

  • make known



  • unto the king the interpretation.



  • DA-2:26 The king answered and said to Daniel, whose name [was]

  • Belteshazzar,



  • Art thou able to make known unto me the dream which I have seen,

  • and the



  • interpretation thereof?



  • DA-2:27 Daniel answered in the presence of the king, and said,

  • The secret



  • which the king hath demanded cannot the wise [men], the

  • astrologers, the



  • magicians, the soothsayers, show unto the king;



  • DA-2:28 But there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets,

  • and maketh known



  • to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. Thy

  • dream, and



  • the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are these;



  • DA-2:29 As for thee, O king, thy thoughts came [into thy mind]

  • upon thy bed,



  • what should come to pass hereafter: and he that revealeth

  • secrets maketh known



  • to thee what shall come to pass.



  • DA-2:30 But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for

  • [any] wisdom



  • that I have more than any living, but for [their] sakes that

  • shall make known



  • the interpretation to the king, and that thou mightest know the

  • thoughts of



  • thy heart.



  • DA-2:31 Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This

  • great image,



  • whose brightness [was] excellent, stood before thee; and the

  • form thereof



  • [was] terrible.



  • DA-2:32 This image's head [was] of fine gold, his breast and

  • his arms of



  • silver, his belly and his thighs of brass,



  • DA-2:33 His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of

  • clay.



  • DA-2:34 Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands,

  • which smote



  • the image upon his feet [that were] of iron and clay, and brake

  • them to



  • pieces.



  • DA-2:35 Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and

  • the gold,



  • broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the

  • summer



  • threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place

  • was found for



  • them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain,

  • and filled



  • the whole earth.



  • DA-2:36 This [is] the dream; and we will tell the

  • interpretation thereof



  • before the king.



  • DA-2:37 Thou, O king, [art] a king of kings: for the God of

  • heaven hath given



  • thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory.



  • DA-2:38 And wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts

  • of the field



  • and the fowls of the heaven hath he given into thine hand, and

  • hath made thee



  • ruler over them all. Thou [art] this head of gold.



  • DA-2:39 And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to

  • thee, and



  • another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all

  • the earth.



  • DA-2:40 And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron:

  • forasmuch as iron



  • breaketh in pieces and subdueth all [things]: and as iron that

  • breaketh all



  • these, shall it break in pieces and bruise.



  • DA-2:41 And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of

  • potter's clay, and



  • part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be

  • in it of the



  • strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed

  • with miry clay.



  • DA-2:42 And [as] the toes of the feet [were] part of iron, and

  • part of clay,



  • [so] the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.



  • DA-2:43 And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they

  • shall mingle



  • themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one

  • to another,



  • even as iron is not mixed with clay.



  • DA-2:44 And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven

  • set up a



  • kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall

  • not be left to



  • other people, [but] it shall break in pieces and consume all

  • these kingdoms,



  • and it shall stand for ever.



  • DA-2:45 Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of

  • the mountain



  • without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass,

  • the clay, the



  • silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king

  • what shall



  • come to pass hereafter: and the dream [is] certain, and the

  • interpretation



  • thereof sure.



  • DA-2:46 Then the king Nebuchadnezzar fell upon his face, and

  • worshipped



  • Daniel, and commanded that they should offer an oblation and

  • sweet odours unto



  • him.



  • DA-2:47 The king answered unto Daniel, and said, Of a truth [it

  • is], that



  • your God [is] a God of gods, and a Lord of kings, and a revealer

  • of secrets,



  • seeing thou couldest reveal this secret.



  • DA-2:48 Then the king made Daniel a great man, and gave him

  • many great gifts,



  • and made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon, and chief

  • of the



  • governors over all the wise [men] of Babylon.



  • DA-2:49 Then Daniel requested of the king, and he set Shadrach,

  • Meshach, and



  • Abednego, over the affairs of the province of Babylon: but

  • Daniel [sat] in the



  • gate of the king.
