Daniel 1


1:1. In the third <G 7969> year <G 8141> of the reign <G 4438> of

Jehoiakim <G 3079> king <G 4428> of Judah <G 3063> came <G 0935>

Nebuchadnezzar <G 5019> king <G 4428> of Babylon <G 0894> unto

Jerusalem <G 3389>, and besieged <G 6696> it.


1:2 And the Lord <G 0136> gave <G 5414> Jehoiakim <G 3079> king <G 4428>

of Judah <G 3063> into his hand <G 3027>, with part <G 7117> of the

vessels <G 3627> of the house <G 1004> of God <G 0430>: which he

carried <G 0935> into the land <G 0776> of Shinar <G 8152> to the house

<G 1004> of his god <G 0430>; and he brought <G 0935> the vessels

<G 3627> into the treasure <G 0214> house <G 1004> of his god <G 0430>.


1:3 And the king <G 4428> spake <G 0559> unto Ashpenaz <G 0828> the

master <G 7227> of his eunuchs <G 5631>, that he should bring <G 0935>

[certain] of the children <G 1121> of Israel <G 3478>, and of the

king's <G 4410> seed <G 2233>, and of the princes <G 6579>;


1:4 Children <G 3206> in whom [was] no <G 0369> blemish <G 3971>, but

well <G 2896> favoured <G 4758>, and skilful <G 7919> in all <G 3605>

wisdom <G 2451>, and cunning <G 3045> in knowledge <G 1847>, and

understanding <G 0995> science <G 4093>, and such as [had] ability

<G 3581> in them to stand <G 5975> in the king's <G 4428> palace

<G 1964>, and whom they might teach <G 3925> the learning <G 5612> and

the tongue <G 3956> of the Chaldeans <G 3779>.


1:5 And the king <G 4428> appointed <G 4487> them a daily <G 3117>

provision <G 1697> of the king's <G 4428> meat <G 6598>, and of the

wine <G 3196> which he drank <G 4960>: so nourishing <G 1431> them

three <G 7969> years <G 8141>, that at the end <G 7117> thereof they

might stand <G 5975> before <G 6440> the king <G 4428>.


1:6 Now among these <G 1992> were of the children <G 1121> of Judah

<G 3063>, Daniel <G 1840>, Hananiah <G 2608>, Mishael <G 4332>, and

Azariah <G 5838>:


1:7 Unto whom <G 1992> the prince <G 8269> of the eunuchs <G 5631> gave

<G 7760> names <G 8034>: for he gave <G 7760> unto Daniel <G 1840> [the

name <G 8034>] of Belteshazzar <G 1095>; and to Hananiah <G 2608>, of

Shadrach <G 7714>; and to Mishael <G 4332>, of Meshach <G 4335>; and to

Azariah <G 5838>, of Abednego <G 5664>.


1:8. But Daniel <G 1840> purposed <G 7760> in his heart <G 3820> that

he would not defile <G 1351> himself with the portion <G 6598> of the

king's <G 4428> meat <G 6598>, nor with the wine <G 3196> which he

drank <G 4960>: therefore he requested <G 1245> of the prince <G 8269>

of the eunuchs <G 5631> that he might not defile <G 1351> himself.


1:9 Now God <G 0430> had brought <G 5414> Daniel <G 1840> into favour

<G 2617> and tender love with the prince <G 8269> of the eunuchs

<G 5631>.


1:10 And the prince <G 8269> of the eunuchs <G 5631> said <G 0559> unto

Daniel <G 1840>, I fear <G 3373> my lord <G 0113> the king <G 4428>, who

<G 0834> hath appointed <G 4487> your meat <G 3978> and your drink

<G 4960>: for why <G 4100> should he see <G 7200> your faces <G 6440>

worse <G 2196> liking than <G 4480> the children <G 3206> which <G 0834>

[are] of your sort <G 1524>? then shall ye make [me] endanger

<G 2325> my head <G 7218> to the king <G 4428>.


1:11 Then said <G 0559> Daniel <G 1840> to Melzar <G 4453>, whom <G 0834>

the prince <G 8269> of the eunuchs <G 5631> had set <G 4487> over

<G 5921> Daniel <G 1840>, Hananiah <G 2608>, Mishael <G 4332>, and

Azariah <G 5838>,


1:12 Prove <G 5254> thy servants <G 5650>, I beseech <G 4994> thee, ten

<G 6235> days <G 3117>; and let them give <G 5414> us pulse <G 2235> to

eat <G 0398>, and water <G 4325> to drink <G 8354>.


1:13 Then let our countenances <G 4758> be looked <G 7200> upon

before <G 6440> thee, and the countenance <G 4758> of the children

<G 3206> that eat <G 0398> of the portion <G 6598> of the king's <G 4428>

meat <G 6598>: and as thou seest <G 7200>, deal <G 6213> with thy

servants <G 5650>.


1:14 So he consented <G 8085> to them in this <G 2088> matter <G 1697>,

and proved <G 5254> them ten <G 6235> days <G 3117>.


1:15 And at the end <G 7117> of ten <G 6235> days <G 3117> their

countenances <G 4758> appeared <G 7200> fairer <G 2896> and fatter

<G 1277> in flesh <G 1320> than <G 4480> all <G 3605> the children <G 3206>

which did eat <G 0398> the portion <G 6598> of the king's <G 4428> meat

<G 6598>.


1:16 Thus Melzar <G 4453> took <G 5375> away the portion <G 6598> of

their meat <G 6598>, and the wine <G 3196> that they should drink

<G 4960>; and gave <G 5414> them pulse <G 2235>.


1:17. As for these <G 0428> four <G 0702> children <G 3206>, God <G 0430>

gave <G 5414> them knowledge <G 4093> and skill <G 7919> in all <G 3605>

learning <G 5612> and wisdom <G 2451>: and Daniel <G 1840> had

understanding <G 0995> in all <G 3605> visions <G 2377> and dreams

<G 2472>.


1:18 Now at the end <G 7117> of the days <G 3117> that the king

<G 4428> had said <G 0559> he should bring <G 0935> them in, then the

prince <G 8269> of the eunuchs <G 5631> brought <G 0935> them in before

<G 6440> Nebuchadnezzar <G 5019>.


1:19 And the king <G 4428> communed <G 1696> with them; and among

them all <G 3605> was found <G 4672> none <G 3808> like Daniel <G 1840>,

Hananiah <G 2608>, Mishael <G 4332>, and Azariah <G 5838>: therefore

stood <G 5975> they before <G 6440> the king <G 4428>.


1:20 And in all <G 3605> matters <G 1697> of wisdom <G 2451> [and]

understanding <G 0998>, that the king <G 4428> enquired <G 1245> of

them, he found <G 4672> them ten <G 6235> times better <G 3027> than

<G 5921> all <G 3605> the magicians <G 2748> [and] astrologers <G 0825>

that [were] in all <G 3605> his realm <G 4438>.


1:21 And Daniel <G 1840> continued <G 1961> [even] unto the first

<G 0259> year <G 8141> of king <G 4428> Cyrus <G 3566>.

Daniel 2


2:1. And in the second <G 8147> year <G 8141> of the reign <G 4438> of

Nebuchadnezzar <G 5019> Nebuchadnezzar <G 5019> dreamed <G 2492> dreams

<G 2472>, wherewith his spirit <G 7307> was troubled <G 6470>, and his

sleep <G 8142> brake <G 1961> from him.


2:2 Then the king <G 4428> commanded <G 0559> to call <G 7121> the

magicians <G 2748>, and the astrologers <G 0825>, and the sorcerers

<G 3784>, and the Chaldeans <G 3779>, for to shew <G 5046> the king

<G 4428> his dreams <G 2472>. So they came <G 0935> and stood <G 5975>

before <G 6440> the king <G 4428>.


2:3 And the king <G 4428> said <G 0559> unto them, I have dreamed

<G 2492> a dream <G 2472>, and my spirit <G 7307> was troubled <G 6470>

to know <G 3045> the dream <G 2472>.


2:4 Then spake <G 1696> the Chaldeans <G 3779> to the king <G 4428> in

Syriack <G 0762>, O king <G 4430>, live <G 2418> for ever <G 5957>: tell

<G 0560> thy servants <G 5649> the dream <G 2493>, and we will shew

<G 2324> the interpretation <G 6591>.


2:5 The king <G 4430> answered <G 6032> and said <G 0560> to the

Chaldeans <G 3779>, The thing <G 4406> is gone <G 0230> from me: if

<G 2006> ye will not make known <G 3046> unto me the dream <G 2493>,

with the interpretation <G 6591> thereof, ye shall be cut <G 5648> in

pieces <G 1917>, and your houses <G 1005> shall be made <G 7761> a

dunghill <G 5122>.


2:6 But if <G 2006> ye shew <G 2324> the dream <G 2493>, and the

interpretation <G 6591> thereof, ye shall receive <G 6902> of me

gifts <G 4978> and rewards <G 5023> and great <G 7690> honour <G 3367>:

therefore <G 2006> shew <G 2324> me the dream <G 2493>, and the

interpretation <G 6591> thereof.


2:7 They answered <G 6032> again <G 8579> and said <G 0560>, Let the

king <G 4430> tell <G 0560> his servants <G 5649> the dream <G 2493>, and

we will shew <G 2324> the interpretation <G 6591> of it.


2:8 The king <G 4430> answered <G 6032> and said <G 0560>, I know

<G 3046> of certainty <G 3330> that ye would gain <G 2084> the time

<G 5732>, because ye see <G 2370> the thing <G 4406> is gone <G 0230>

from me.


2:9 But if <G 2006> ye will not make known <G 3046> unto me the dream

<G 2493>, [there is but] one <G 2298> decree <G 1882> for you: for ye

have prepared <G 2164> lying <G 3538> and corrupt <G 7844> words <G 4406>

to speak <G 0560> before <G 6925> me, till <G 5704> the time <G 5732> be

changed <G 8133>: therefore <G 2006> tell <G 0560> me the dream <G 2493>,

and I shall know <G 3046> that ye can shew <G 2324> me the

interpretation <G 6591> thereof.


2:10 The Chaldeans <G 3779> answered <G 6032> before <G 6925> the king

<G 4430>, and said <G 0560>, There is not a man <G 0606> upon the earth

<G 3007> that can <G 3202> shew <G 2324> the king's <G 4430> matter

<G 4406>: therefore [there is] no king <G 4430>, lord <G 7229>, nor

ruler <G 7990>, [that] asked <G 7593> such <G 1836> things at any

<G 3606> magician <G 2749>, or astrologer <G 0826>, or Chaldean <G 3777>.


2:11 And [it is] a rare <G 3358> thing <G 4406> that the king <G 4430>

requireth <G 7593>, and there is none <G 3809> other <G 0321> that can

shew <G 2324> it before <G 6925> the king <G 4430>, except <G 3861> the

gods <G 0426>, whose <G 1768> dwelling <G 4070> is not with flesh

<G 1321>.


2:12 For this <G 1836> cause the king <G 4430> was angry <G 1149> and

very <G 7690> furious <G 7108>, and commanded <G 0560> to destroy <G 7>

all <G 3606> the wise <G 2445> [men] of Babylon <G 0895>.


2:13 And the decree <G 1882> went <G 5312> forth <G 5312> that the wise

<G 2445> [men] should be slain <G 6992>; and they sought <G 1158>

Daniel <G 1841> and his fellows <G 2269> to be slain <G 6992>.


2:14. Then <G 0116> Daniel <G 1841> answered <G 8421> with counsel

<G 5843> and wisdom <G 2942> to Arioch <G 0746> the captain <G 7229> of

the king's <G 4430> guard <G 2877>, which <G 1768> was gone <G 5312>

forth <G 5312> to slay <G 6992> the wise <G 2445> [men] of Babylon

<G 0895>:


2:15 He answered <G 6032> and said <G 0560> to Arioch <G 0746> the

king's <G 4430> captain <G 7990>, Why [is] the decree <G 1882> [so]

hasty <G 2685> from the king <G 4430>? Then <G 0116> Arioch <G 0746> made

the thing <G 4406> known <G 3046> to Daniel <G 1841>.


2:16 Then Daniel <G 1841> went <G 5954> in, and desired <G 1156> of the

king <G 4430> that he would give <G 5415> him time <G 2166>, and that

he would shew <G 2324> the king <G 4430> the interpretation <G 6591>.


2:17 Then <G 0116> Daniel <G 1841> went <G 0236> to his house <G 1005>,

and made the thing <G 4406> known <G 3046> to Hananiah <G 2608>,

Mishael <G 4332>, and Azariah <G 5839>, his companions <G 2269>:


2:18 That they would desire <G 1156> mercies <G 7359> of the God

<G 0426> of heaven <G 8065> concerning <G 5922> this <G 1836> secret

<G 7328>; that Daniel <G 1841> and his fellows <G 2269> should not

perish <G 7> with the rest <G 7606> of the wise <G 2445> [men] of

Babylon <G 0895>.


2:19 Then <G 0116> was the secret <G 7328> revealed <G 1541> unto

Daniel <G 1841> in a night <G 3916> vision <G 2376>. Then <G 0116> Daniel

<G 1841> blessed <G 1289> the God <G 0426> of heaven <G 8065>.


2:20 Daniel <G 1841> answered <G 6032> and said <G 0560>, Blessed

<G 1289> be the name <G 8036> of God <G 0426> for ever <G 5957> and ever

<G 5957>: for wisdom <G 2452> and might <G 1370> are his:


2:21 And he changeth <G 8133> the times <G 5732> and the seasons

<G 2166>: he removeth <G 5709> kings <G 4430>, and setteth <G 6966> up

kings <G 4430>: he giveth <G 3052> wisdom <G 2452> unto the wise

<G 2445>, and knowledge <G 0998> to them that know <G 3046>

understanding <G 0999>:


2:22 He revealeth <G 1541> the deep <G 5994> and secret <G 5642>

things: he knoweth <G 3046> what <G 4101> [is] in the darkness

<G 2816>, and the light <G 5094> dwelleth <G 8271> with him.


2:23 I thank <G 3029> thee, and praise <G 7624> thee, O thou God

<G 0426> of my fathers <G 2>, who <G 1768> hast given <G 3052> me wisdom

<G 2452> and might <G 1370>, and hast made known <G 3046> unto me now

<G 3705> what <G 1768> we desired <G 1156> of thee: for thou hast [now

<G 3705>] made known <G 3046> unto us the king's <G 4430> matter

<G 4406>.


2:24. Therefore Daniel <G 1841> went <G 5954> in unto Arioch <G 0746>,

whom <G 1768> the king <G 4430> had ordained <G 4483> to destroy <G 7>

the wise <G 2445> [men] of Babylon <G 0895>: he went <G 0236> and said

<G 0560> thus <G 3652> unto him; Destroy <G 7> not the wise <G 2445>

[men] of Babylon <G 0895>: bring <G 5924> me in before <G 6925> the

king <G 4430>, and I will shew <G 2324> unto the king <G 4430> the

interpretation <G 6591>.


2:25 Then <G 0116> Arioch <G 0746> brought <G 5954> in Daniel <G 1841>

before <G 6925> the king <G 4430> in haste <G 0927>, and said <G 0560>

thus <G 3652> unto him, I have found <G 4672> a man <G 1400> of the

captives of Judah <G 3061>, that will make known <G 3046> unto the

king <G 4430> the interpretation <G 6591>.


2:26 The king <G 4430> answered <G 6032> and said <G 0560> to Daniel

<G 1841>, whose <G 1768> name <G 8036> [was] Belteshazzar <G 1096>, Art

<G 0383> thou able <G 3546> to make known <G 3046> unto me the dream

<G 2493> which <G 1768> I have seen <G 2370>, and the interpretation

<G 6591> thereof?


2:27 Daniel <G 1841> answered <G 6032> in the presence <G 6925> of the

king <G 4430>, and said <G 0560>, The secret <G 7328> which <G 1768> the

king <G 4430> hath demanded <G 7593> cannot the wise <G 2445> [men],

the astrologers <G 0826>, the magicians <G 2749>, the soothsayers

<G 1505>, shew <G 2324> unto the king <G 4430>;


2:28 But there is a God <G 0426> in heaven <G 8065> that revealeth

<G 1541> secrets <G 7328>, and maketh known <G 3046> to the king <G 4430>

Nebuchadnezzar <G 5020> what <G 4101> shall be in the latter <G 0320>

days <G 3118>. Thy dream <G 2493>, and the visions <G 2376> of thy head

<G 7217> upon thy bed <G 4903>, are these <G 1836>;


2:29 As for thee, O king <G 4430>, thy thoughts <G 7476> came <G 5559>

[into thy mind] upon thy bed <G 4903>, what <G 4101> should come

<G 1934> to pass hereafter: and he that revealeth <G 1541> secrets

<G 7328> maketh known <G 3046> to thee what <G 4101> shall come <G 1934>

to pass.


2:30 But as for me, this <G 1836> secret <G 7328> is not revealed

<G 1541> to me for [any] wisdom <G 2452> that I have <G 0383> more

<G 4481> than <G 4481> any <G 3606> living <G 2417>, but for [their]

sakes <G 1701> that shall make known <G 3046> the interpretation

<G 6591> to the king <G 4430>, and that thou mightest know <G 3046> the

thoughts <G 7476> of thy heart <G 3825>.


2:31. Thou, O king <G 4430>, sawest <G 2370>, and behold <G 0431> a

great <G 7690> image <G 6755>. This <G 1797> great <G 7229> image <G 6755>,

whose brightness <G 2122> [was] excellent <G 3493>, stood <G 6966>

before <G 6903> thee; and the form <G 7299> thereof [was] terrible

<G 1763>.


2:32 This <G 1931> image's <G 6755> head <G 7217> [was] of fine <G 2869>

gold <G 1722>, his breast <G 2306> and his arms <G 1672> of silver

<G 3702>, his belly <G 4577> and his thighs <G 3410> of brass <G 5174>,


2:33 His legs <G 8243> of iron <G 6523>, his feet <G 7271> part <G 4481>

of iron <G 6523> and part <G 4481> of clay <G 2635>.


2:34 Thou sawest <G 2370> till <G 5704> that a stone <G 69> was cut

<G 1505> out without hands <G 3028>, which smote <G 4223> the image

<G 6755> upon his feet <G 7271> [that were] of iron <G 6523> and clay

<G 2635>, and brake <G 1855> them to pieces.


2:35 Then <G 0116> was the iron <G 6523>, the clay <G 2635>, the brass

<G 5174>, the silver <G 3702>, and the gold <G 1722>, broken <G 1854> to

pieces together <G 2298>, and became <G 1934> like the chaff <G 5784>

of the summer <G 7007> threshingfloors <G 0147>; and the wind <G 7308>

carried <G 5376> them away, that no place <G 0870> was found <G 7912>

for them: and the stone <G 69> that smote <G 4223> the image <G 6755>

became <G 1934> a great <G 7229> mountain <G 2906>, and filled <G 4391>

the whole <G 3606> earth <G 0772>.


2:36 This <G 1836> [is] the dream <G 2493>; and we will tell <G 0560>

the interpretation <G 6591> thereof before <G 6925> the king <G 4430>.


2:37 Thou, O king <G 4430>, [art] a king <G 4430> of kings <G 4430>:

for the God <G 0426> of heaven <G 8065> hath given <G 3052> thee a

kingdom <G 4437>, power <G 2632>, and strength <G 8632>, and glory

<G 3367>.


2:38 And wheresoever the children <G 1123> of men <G 0606> dwell

<G 1753>, the beasts <G 2423> of the field <G 1251> and the fowls

<G 5776> of the heaven <G 8065> hath he given <G 3052> into thine hand

<G 3028>, and hath made thee ruler <G 7981> over them all <G 3606>.

Thou [art] this <G 1931> head <G 7217> of gold <G 1722>.


2:39 And after <G 0870> thee shall arise <G 6965> another <G 0317>

kingdom <G 4437> inferior <G 0772> to thee, and another <G 0317> third

<G 8523> kingdom <G 4437> of brass <G 5174>, which <G 1768> shall bear

<G 7981> rule <G 7981> over all <G 3606> the earth <G 0772>.


2:40 And the fourth <G 7244> kingdom <G 4437> shall be strong <G 8624>

as iron <G 6523>: forasmuch as iron <G 6523> breaketh <G 1855> in

pieces and subdueth <G 2827> all <G 3606> [things]: and as iron

<G 6523> that breaketh <G 7940> all <G 3606> these <G 0459>, shall it

break <G 1854> in pieces and bruise <G 7490>.


2:41 And whereas <G 1768> thou sawest <G 2370> the feet <G 7271> and

toes <G 0677>, part <G 4481> of potters <G 6353>' clay <G 2635>, and part

<G 4481> of iron <G 6523>, the kingdom <G 4437> shall be divided

<G 6386>; but there shall be in it of the strength <G 5326> of the

iron <G 6523>, forasmuch as thou sawest <G 2370> the iron <G 6523>

mixed <G 6151> with miry <G 2917> clay <G 2635>.


2:42 And [as] the toes <G 0677> of the feet <G 7271> [were] part

<G 4481> of iron <G 6523>, and part <G 4481> of clay <G 2635>, [so] the

kingdom <G 4437> shall be partly <G 7118> strong <G 8624>, and partly

<G 7118> broken <G 8406>.


2:43 And whereas <G 1768> thou sawest <G 2370> iron <G 6523> mixed

<G 6151> with miry <G 2917> clay <G 2635>, they shall mingle <G 6151>

themselves with the seed <G 2234> of men <G 0606>: but they shall not

cleave <G 1693> one <G 1836> to another <G 1836>, even <G 1887> as iron

<G 6523> is not mixed <G 6151> with clay <G 2635>.


2:44 And in the days <G 3118> of these <G 0581> kings <G 4430> shall

the God <G 0426> of heaven <G 8065> set <G 6966> up a kingdom <G 4437>,

which <G 1768> shall never be destroyed <G 2255>: and the kingdom

<G 4437> shall not be left <G 7662> to other <G 0321> people <G 5972>,

[but] it shall break <G 1854> in pieces and consume <G 5487> all

<G 3606> these <G 0459> kingdoms <G 4437>, and it shall stand <G 6966>

for ever <G 5957>.


2:45 Forasmuch as thou sawest <G 2370> that the stone <G 69> was cut

<G 1505> out of the mountain <G 2906> without hands <G 3028>, and that

it brake <G 1855> in pieces the iron <G 6523>, the brass <G 5174>, the

clay <G 2635>, the silver <G 3702>, and the gold <G 1722>; the great

<G 7229> God <G 0426> hath made known <G 3046> to the king <G 4430> what

<G 4101> shall come <G 1934> to pass hereafter: and the dream <G 2493>

[is] certain <G 3330>, and the interpretation <G 6591> thereof sure

<G 0546>.


2:46. Then <G 0116> the king <G 4430> Nebuchadnezzar <G 5020> fell

<G 5308> upon his face <G 0600>, and worshipped <G 5457> Daniel <G 1841>,

and commanded <G 0560> that they should offer <G 5260> an oblation

<G 8641> and sweet <G 5208> odours <G 5208> unto him.


2:47 The king <G 4430> answered <G 6032> unto Daniel <G 1841>, and said

<G 0560>, Of a truth <G 7187> [it is], that your God <G 0426> [is] a

God <G 0426> of gods <G 0426>, and a Lord <G 4756> of kings <G 4430>, and

a revealer <G 1541> of secrets <G 7328>, seeing <G 1768> thou couldest

<G 3202> reveal <G 1541> this <G 1836> secret <G 7328>.


2:48 Then <G 0116> the king <G 4430> made <G 7236> Daniel <G 1841> a

great <G 7236> man, and gave <G 3052> him many <G 7690> great <G 7260>

gifts <G 4978>, and made him ruler <G 7981> over <G 5922> the whole

<G 3606> province <G 4083> of Babylon <G 0895>, and chief <G 7229> of the

governors <G 5461> over <G 5922> all <G 3606> the wise <G 2445> [men] of

Babylon <G 0895>.


2:49 Then Daniel <G 1841> requested <G 1156> of the king <G 4430>, and

he set <G 4483> Shadrach <G 7715>, Meshach <G 4336>, and Abednego

<G 5665>, over <G 5922> the affairs <G 5673> of the province <G 4083> of

Babylon <G 0895>: but Daniel <G 1841> [sat] in the gate <G 8651> of the

king <G 4430>.


==== <DAN3>

Daniel 3


3:1. Nebuchadnezzar <G 5020> the king <G 4430> made <G 5648> an image

<G 6755> of gold <G 1722>, whose <G 1768> height <G 7314> [was]

threescore <G 8361> cubits <G 0521>, [and] the breadth <G 6613> thereof

six <G 8353> cubits <G 0521>: he set <G 6966> it up in the plain <G 1236>

of Dura <G 1757>, in the province <G 4083> of Babylon <G 0895>.


3:2 Then Nebuchadnezzar <G 5020> the king <G 4430> sent <G 7972> to

gather <G 3673> together the princes <G 0324>, the governors <G 5461>,

and the captains <G 6347>, the judges <G 0148>, the treasurers

<G 1411>, the counsellors <G 1884>, the sheriffs <G 8614>, and all

<G 3606> the rulers <G 7984> of the provinces <G 4082>, to come <G 0858>

to the dedication <G 2597> of the image <G 6755> which <G 1768>

Nebuchadnezzar <G 5020> the king <G 4430> had set <G 6966> up.


3:3 Then <G 0116> the princes <G 0324>, the governors <G 5461>, and

captains <G 6347>, the judges <G 0148>, the treasurers <G 1411>, the

counsellors <G 1884>, the sheriffs <G 8614>, and all <G 3606> the

rulers <G 7984> of the provinces <G 4082>, were gathered <G 3673>

together unto the dedication <G 2597> of the image <G 6755> that

Nebuchadnezzar <G 5020> the king <G 4430> had set <G 6966> up; and they

stood <G 6966> before <G 6903> the image <G 6755> that Nebuchadnezzar

<G 5020> had set <G 6966> up.


3:4 Then an herald <G 3744> cried <G 7123> aloud <G 2429>, To you it is

commanded <G 0560>, O people <G 5972>, nations <G 0524>, and languages

<G 3961>,


3:5 [That] at what <G 1768> time <G 5732> ye hear <G 8086> the sound

<G 7032> of the cornet <G 7162>, flute <G 4953>, harp <G 7030>, sackbut

<G 5443>, psaltery <G 6460>, dulcimer <G 5481>, and all <G 3606> kinds

<G 2177> of musick <G 2170>, ye fall <G 5308> down and worship <G 5457>

the golden <G 1722> image <G 6755> that Nebuchadnezzar <G 5020> the

king <G 4430> hath set <G 6966> up:


3:6 And whoso falleth <G 5308> not down and worshippeth <G 5457>

shall the same hour <G 8160> be cast <G 7412> into the midst <G 1459>

of a burning <G 3345> fiery <G 5135> furnace <G 0861>.


3:7 Therefore at that time <G 2166>, when <G 1768> all <G 3606> the

people <G 5972> heard <G 8086> the sound <G 7032> of the cornet <G 7162>,

flute <G 4953>, harp <G 7030>, sackbut <G 5443>, psaltery <G 6460>, and

all <G 3606> kinds <G 2177> of musick <G 2170>, all <G 3606> the people

<G 5972>, the nations <G 0524>, and the languages <G 3961>, fell <G 5308>

down [and] worshipped <G 5457> the golden <G 1722> image <G 6755> that

Nebuchadnezzar <G 5020> the king <G 4430> had set <G 6966> up.


3:8. Wherefore at that time <G 2166> certain <G 1400> Chaldeans

<G 3779> came <G 7127> near <G 7127>, and accused <G 7170> the Jews

<G 3064>.


3:9 They spake <G 6032> and said <G 0560> to the king <G 4430>

Nebuchadnezzar <G 5020>, O king <G 4430>, live <G 2418> for ever

<G 5957>.


3:10 Thou, O king <G 4430>, hast made <G 7761> a decree <G 2942>, that

every <G 3606> man <G 0606> that shall hear <G 8086> the sound <G 7032>

of the cornet <G 7162>, flute <G 4953>, harp <G 7030>, sackbut <G 5443>,

psaltery <G 6460>, and dulcimer <G 5481>, and all <G 3606> kinds <G 2177>

of musick <G 2170>, shall fall <G 5308> down and worship <G 5457> the

golden <G 1722> image <G 6755>:


3:11 And whoso falleth <G 5308> not down and worshippeth <G 5457>,

[that] he should be cast <G 7412> into the midst <G 1459> of a

burning <G 3345> fiery <G 5135> furnace <G 0861>.


3:12 There are certain <G 1400> Jews <G 3064> whom <G 3487> thou hast

set <G 4483> over <G 5921> the affairs <G 5673> of the province <G 4083>

of Babylon <G 0895>, Shadrach <G 7715>, Meshach <G 4336>, and Abednego

<G 5665>; these <G 0479> men <G 1400>, O king <G 4430>, have not regarded

thee: they serve <G 6399> not thy gods <G 0426>, nor <G 3809> worship

<G 5457> the golden <G 1722> image <G 6755> which <G 1768> thou hast set

<G 6966> up.


3:13 Then <G 0116> Nebuchadnezzar <G 5020> in [his] rage <G 7266> and

fury <G 2528> commanded <G 0560> to bring <G 0858> Shadrach <G 7715>,

Meshach <G 4336>, and Abednego <G 5665>. Then <G 0116> they brought

<G 0858> these <G 0479> men <G 1400> before <G 6925> the king <G 4430>.


3:14 Nebuchadnezzar <G 5020> spake <G 6032> and said <G 0560> unto

them, [Is it] true <G 6656>, O Shadrach <G 7715>, Meshach <G 4336>, and

Abednego <G 5665>, do not ye serve <G 6399> my gods <G 0426>, nor

<G 3809> worship <G 5457> the golden <G 1722> image <G 6755> which <G 1768>

I have set <G 6966> up?


3:15 Now <G 3705> if <G 2006> ye be ready <G 6263> that at what <G 1768>

time <G 5732> ye hear <G 8086> the sound <G 7032> of the cornet <G 7162>,

flute <G 4953>, harp <G 7030>, sackbut <G 5443>, psaltery <G 6460>, and

dulcimer <G 5481>, and all <G 3606> kinds <G 2177> of musick <G 2170>, ye

fall <G 5308> down and worship <G 5457> the image <G 6755> which <G 1768>

I have made <G 5648>; [well]: but if <G 2006> ye worship <G 5457> not,

ye shall be cast <G 7412> the same hour <G 8160> into the midst

<G 1459> of a burning <G 3345> fiery <G 5135> furnace <G 0861>; and who

<G 4479> [is] that God <G 0426> that shall deliver <G 7804> you out of

my hands <G 3028>?


3:16 Shadrach <G 7715>, Meshach <G 4336>, and Abednego <G 5665>,

answered <G 6032> and said <G 0560> to the king <G 4430>, O

Nebuchadnezzar <G 5020>, we [are] not careful <G 2818> to answer

<G 8421> thee in this <G 1836> matter <G 6600>.


3:17 If <G 2006> it be [so], our God <G 0426> whom <G 1768> we serve

<G 6399> is able <G 3202> to deliver <G 7804> us from the burning

<G 3345> fiery <G 5135> furnace <G 0861>, and he will deliver <G 7804>

[us] out of thine hand <G 3028>, O king <G 4430>.


3:18 But if not, be it known <G 3046> unto thee, O king <G 4430>,

that we will not serve <G 6399> thy gods <G 0426>, nor <G 3809> worship

<G 5457> the golden <G 1722> image <G 6755> which <G 1768> thou hast set

<G 6966> up.


3:19. Then <G 0116> was Nebuchadnezzar <G 5020> full <G 4391> of fury

<G 2528>, and the form <G 6755> of his visage <G 0600> was changed

<G 8133> against <G 5922> Shadrach <G 7715>, Meshach <G 4336>, and

Abednego <G 5665>: [therefore] he spake <G 6032>, and commanded

<G 0560> that they should heat <G 0228> the furnace <G 0861> one <G 2298>

seven <G 7655> times more <G 5922> than <G 1768> it was wont <G 2370> to

be heated <G 0228>.


3:20 And he commanded <G 0560> the most <G 2429> mighty <G 1401> men

<G 1400> that [were] in his army <G 2429> to bind <G 3729> Shadrach

<G 7715>, Meshach <G 4336>, and Abednego <G 5665>, [and] to cast <G 7412>

[them] into the burning <G 3345> fiery <G 5135> furnace <G 0861>.


3:21 Then <G 0116> these <G 0479> men <G 1400> were bound <G 3729> in

their coats <G 5622>, their hosen <G 6361>, and their hats <G 3737>,

and their [other] garments <G 3831>, and were cast <G 7412> into the

midst <G 1459> of the burning <G 3345> fiery <G 5135> furnace <G 0861>.


3:22 Therefore because the king's <G 4430> commandment <G 4406> was

urgent <G 2685>, and the furnace <G 0861> exceeding <G 2493> hot

<G 0228>, the flame <G 7631> of the fire <G 5135> slew <G 6992> those

<G 0479> men <G 1400> that took <G 5267> up Shadrach <G 7715>, Meshach

<G 4336>, and Abednego <G 5665>.


3:23 And these <G 0479> three <G 8532> men <G 1400>, Shadrach <G 7715>,

Meshach <G 4336>, and Abednego <G 5665>, fell <G 5308> down bound

<G 3729> into the midst <G 1459> of the burning <G 3345> fiery <G 5135>

furnace <G 0861>.


3:24 Then <G 0116> Nebuchadnezzar <G 5020> the king <G 4430> was

astonied <G 8429>, and rose <G 6965> up in haste <G 0927>, [and] spake

<G 6032>, and said <G 0560> unto his counsellors <G 1907>, Did not we

cast <G 7412> three <G 8532> men <G 1400> bound <G 3729> into the midst

<G 1459> of the fire <G 5135>? They answered <G 6032> and said <G 0560>

unto the king <G 4430>, True <G 3330>, O king <G 4430>.


3:25 He answered <G 6032> and said <G 0560>, Lo <G 1888>, I see <G 2370>

four <G 0703> men <G 1400> loose <G 8271>, walking <G 1981> in the midst

<G 1459> of the fire <G 5135>, and they have <G 0383> no <G 3809> hurt

<G 2257>; and the form <G 7299> of the fourth <G 7244> is like <G 1821>

the Son <G 1247> of God <G 0426>.


3:26 Then <G 0116> Nebuchadnezzar <G 5020> came <G 7127> near <G 7127> to

the mouth <G 8651> of the burning <G 3345> fiery <G 5135> furnace

<G 0861>, [and] spake <G 6032>, and said <G 0560>, Shadrach <G 7715>,

Meshach <G 4336>, and Abednego <G 5665>, ye servants <G 5649> of the

most <G 5943> high <G 5943> God <G 0426>, come <G 5312> forth <G 5312>, and

come <G 0858> [hither]. Then <G 0116> Shadrach <G 7715>, Meshach

<G 4336>, and Abednego <G 5665>, came <G 5312> forth <G 5312> of the

midst <G 1459> of the fire <G 5135>.


3:27 And the princes <G 0324>, governors <G 5461>, and captains

<G 6347>, and the king's <G 4430> counsellors <G 1907>, being gathered

<G 3673> together, saw <G 2370> these <G 0479> men <G 1400>, upon whose

<G 1768> bodies <G 1655> the fire <G 5135> had no <G 3809> power <G 7981>,

nor <G 3809> was an hair <G 8177> of their head <G 7217> singed <G 2761>,

neither <G 3809> were their coats <G 5622> changed <G 8133>, nor <G 3809>

the smell <G 7382> of fire <G 5135> had passed <G 5709> on them.


3:28. [Then] Nebuchadnezzar <G 5020> spake <G 6032>, and said <G 0560>,

Blessed <G 1289> [be] the God <G 0426> of Shadrach <G 7715>, Meshach

<G 4336>, and Abednego <G 5665>, who <G 1768> hath sent <G 7972> his

angel <G 4398>, and delivered <G 7804> his servants <G 5649> that

trusted <G 7365> in him, and have changed <G 8133> the king's <G 4430>

word <G 4406>, and yielded <G 3052> their bodies <G 1655>, that they

might not serve <G 6399> nor <G 3809> worship <G 5457> any <G 3606> god

<G 0426>, except <G 3861> their own God <G 0426>.


3:29 Therefore I make <G 7761> a decree <G 2942>, That every <G 3606>

people <G 5972>, nation <G 0524>, and language <G 3961>, which <G 1768>

speak <G 0560> any thing amiss <G 7955> against <G 5922> the God <G 0426>

of Shadrach <G 7715>, Meshach <G 4336>, and Abednego <G 5665>, shall be

cut <G 5648> in pieces <G 1917>, and their houses <G 1005> shall be

made <G 7739> a dunghill <G 5122>: because there is no <G 3809> other

<G 0321> God <G 0426> that can <G 3202> deliver <G 5338> after <G 1863>

this <G 1836> sort.


3:30 Then <G 0116> the king <G 4430> promoted <G 6744> Shadrach <G 7715>,

Meshach <G 4336>, and Abednego <G 5665>, in the province <G 4082> of

Babylon <G 0895>.


==== <DAN4>

Daniel 4


4:1. Nebuchadnezzar <G 5020> the king <G 4430>, unto all <G 3606>

people <G 5972>, nations <G 0524>, and languages <G 3961>, that dwell

<G 1753> in all <G 3606> the earth <G 0772>; Peace <G 8001> be multiplied

<G 7680> unto you.


4:2 I thought it good <G 8232> to shew <G 2324> the signs <G 0852> and

wonders <G 8540> that the high <G 5943> God <G 0426> hath wrought

<G 5648> toward <G 5974> me.


4:3 How <G 4101> great <G 7260> [are] his signs <G 0852>! and how

<G 4101> mighty <G 8624> [are] his wonders <G 8540>! his kingdom <G 4437>

[is] an everlasting <G 5957> kingdom <G 4437>, and his dominion

<G 7985> [is] from generation <G 1859> to generation <G 1859>.


4:4. I Nebuchadnezzar <G 5020> was at rest <G 7954> in mine house

<G 1005>, and flourishing <G 7487> in my palace <G 1965>:


4:5 I saw <G 2370> a dream <G 2493> which made me afraid <G 1763>, and

the thoughts <G 2031> upon my bed <G 4903> and the visions <G 2376> of

my head <G 7217> troubled <G 0927> me.


4:6 Therefore made <G 7761> I a decree <G 2942> to bring <G 5924> in

all <G 3606> the wise <G 2445> [men] of Babylon <G 0895> before <G 6925>

me, that they might make known <G 3046> unto me the interpretation

<G 6591> of the dream <G 2493>.


4:7 Then <G 0116> came <G 5954> in the magicians <G 2749>, the

astrologers <G 0826>, the Chaldeans <G 3779>, and the soothsayers

<G 1505>: and I told <G 0560> the dream <G 2493> before <G 6925> them;

but they did not make known <G 3046> unto me the interpretation

<G 6591> thereof.


4:8 But at <G 5706> the last <G 0318> Daniel <G 1841> came <G 5954> in

before me, whose <G 1768> name <G 8036> [was] Belteshazzar <G 1096>,

according to the name <G 8036> of my god <G 0426>, and in whom <G 1768>

[is] the spirit <G 7308> of the holy <G 6922> gods <G 0426>: and before

<G 6925> him I told <G 0560> the dream <G 2493>, [saying],


4:9 O Belteshazzar <G 1096>, master <G 0729> of the magicians <G 2749>,

because <G 1768> I know <G 3046> that the spirit <G 7308> of the holy

<G 6922> gods <G 0426> [is] in thee, and no secret <G 7328> troubleth

<G 0598> thee, tell <G 0560> me the visions <G 2376> of my dream <G 2493>

that I have seen <G 2370>, and the interpretation <G 6591> thereof.


4:10 Thus [were] the visions <G 2376> of mine head <G 7217> in my bed

<G 4903>; I saw <G 2370>, and behold <G 0431> a tree <G 0363> in the

midst <G 1459> of the earth <G 0772>, and the height <G 7314> thereof

[was] great <G 7690>.


4:11 The tree <G 0363> grew <G 7236>, and was strong <G 8631>, and the

height <G 7314> thereof reached <G 4291> unto heaven <G 8065>, and the

sight <G 2379> thereof to the end <G 5491> of all <G 3606> the earth

<G 0772>:


4:12 The leaves <G 6074> thereof [were] fair <G 8509>, and the fruit

<G 4> thereof much <G 7690>, and in it [was] meat <G 4203> for all

<G 3606>: the beasts <G 2423> of the field <G 1251> had shadow <G 2927>

under <G 8460> it, and the fowls <G 6853> of the heaven <G 8065> dwelt

<G 1753> in the boughs <G 6056> thereof, and all <G 3606> flesh <G 1321>

was fed <G 2110> of it.


4:13 I saw <G 2370> in the visions <G 2376> of my head <G 7217> upon my

bed <G 4903>, and, behold <G 0431>, a watcher <G 5894> and an holy

<G 6922> one came <G 5182> down <G 5182> from heaven <G 8065>;


4:14 He cried <G 7123> aloud <G 2429>, and said <G 0560> thus <G 3652>,

Hew <G 1414> down the tree <G 0363>, and cut <G 7113> off his branches

<G 6056>, shake <G 5426> off <G 0575> his leaves <G 6074>, and scatter

<G 0921> his fruit <G 4>: let the beasts <G 2423> get <G 5111> away

<G 5111> from under <G 8478> it, and the fowls <G 6853> from his

branches <G 6056>:


4:15 Nevertheless <G 1297> leave <G 7662> the stump <G 6136> of his

roots <G 8330> in the earth <G 0772>, even with a band <G 0613> of iron

<G 6523> and brass <G 5174>, in the tender grass <G 1883> of the field

<G 1251>; and let it be wet <G 6647> with the dew <G 2920> of heaven

<G 8065>, and [let] his portion <G 2508> [be] with the beasts <G 2423>

in the grass <G 6211> of the earth <G 0772>:


4:16 Let his heart <G 3825> be changed <G 8133> from man's <G 0606>,

and let a beast's <G 2423> heart <G 3825> be given <G 3052> unto him;

and let seven <G 7655> times <G 5732> pass <G 2499> over <G 5922> him.


4:17 This matter <G 6600> [is] by the decree <G 1510> of the watchers

<G 5894>, and the demand <G 7595> by the word <G 3983> of the holy

<G 6922> ones: to the intent <G 1701> that the living <G 2417> may know

<G 3046> that the most <G 5943> High <G 5943> ruleth <G 7980> in the

kingdom <G 4437> of men <G 0606>, and giveth <G 5415> it to whomsoever

<G 4479> he will <G 6634>, and setteth <G 6966> up over <G 5922> it the

basest <G 8215> of men <G 0606>.


4:18 This <G 1836> dream <G 2493> I king <G 4430> Nebuchadnezzar <G 5020>

have seen <G 2370>. Now thou, O Belteshazzar <G 1096>, declare <G 0560>

the interpretation <G 6591> thereof, forasmuch as all <G 3606> the

wise <G 2445> [men] of my kingdom <G 4437> are not able <G 3202> to

make known <G 3046> unto me the interpretation <G 6591>: but thou

[art] able <G 3546>; for the spirit <G 7308> of the holy <G 6922> gods

<G 0426> [is] in thee.


4:19. Then <G 0116> Daniel <G 1841>, whose <G 1768> name <G 8036> [was]

Belteshazzar <G 1096>, was astonied <G 8075> for one <G 2298> hour

<G 8160>, and his thoughts <G 7476> troubled <G 0927> him. The king

<G 4430> spake <G 6032>, and said <G 0560>, Belteshazzar <G 1096>, let

not the dream <G 2493>, or the interpretation <G 6591> thereof,

trouble <G 0927> thee. Belteshazzar <G 1096> answered <G 6032> and said

<G 0560>, My lord <G 4756>, the dream <G 2493> [be] to them that hate

<G 8131> thee, and the interpretation <G 6591> thereof to thine

enemies <G 6146>.


4:20 The tree <G 0363> that thou sawest <G 2370>, which <G 1768> grew

<G 7236>, and was strong <G 8631>, whose height <G 7314> reached <G 4291>

unto the heaven <G 8065>, and the sight <G 2379> thereof to all

<G 3606> the earth <G 0772>;


4:21 Whose leaves <G 6074> [were] fair <G 8509>, and the fruit <G 4>

thereof much <G 7690>, and in it [was] meat <G 4203> for all <G 3606>;

under <G 8460> which the beasts <G 2423> of the field <G 1251> dwelt

<G 1753>, and upon whose branches <G 6056> the fowls <G 6853> of the

heaven <G 8065> had their habitation <G 7932>:


4:22 It [is] thou, O king <G 4430>, that art grown <G 7236> and

become <G 8631> strong <G 8631>: for thy greatness <G 7238> is grown

<G 7236>, and reacheth <G 4291> unto heaven <G 8065>, and thy dominion

<G 7985> to the end <G 5491> of the earth <G 0772>.


4:23 And whereas <G 1768> the king <G 4430> saw <G 2370> a watcher

<G 5894> and an holy <G 6922> one coming <G 5182> down <G 5182> from

heaven <G 8065>, and saying <G 0560>, Hew <G 1414> the tree <G 0363>

down, and destroy <G 2255> it; yet <G 1297> leave <G 7662> the stump

<G 6136> of the roots <G 8330> thereof in the earth <G 0772>, even with

a band <G 0613> of iron <G 6523> and brass <G 5174>, in the tender

grass <G 1883> of the field <G 1251>; and let it be wet <G 6647> with

the dew <G 2920> of heaven <G 8065>, and [let] his portion <G 2508>

[be] with the beasts <G 2423> of the field <G 1251>, till <G 5704>

seven <G 7655> times <G 5732> pass <G 2499> over <G 5922> him;


4:24 This <G 1836> [is] the interpretation <G 6591>, O king <G 4430>,

and this <G 1931> [is] the decree <G 1510> of the most <G 5943> High

<G 5943>, which <G 1768> is come <G 4291> upon my lord <G 4756> the king

<G 4430>:


4:25 That they shall drive <G 2957> thee from men <G 0606>, and thy

dwelling <G 4070> shall be with the beasts <G 2423> of the field

<G 1251>, and they shall make thee to eat <G 2939> grass <G 6211> as

oxen <G 8450>, and they shall wet <G 6647> thee with the dew <G 2920>

of heaven <G 8065>, and seven <G 7655> times <G 5732> shall pass <G 2499>

over <G 5922> thee, till <G 5704> thou know <G 3046> that the most

<G 5943> High ruleth <G 7980> in the kingdom <G 4437> of men <G 0606>,

and giveth <G 5415> it to whomsoever <G 4479> he will <G 6634>.


4:26 And whereas <G 1768> they commanded <G 0560> to leave <G 7662> the

stump <G 6136> of the tree <G 0363> roots <G 8330>; thy kingdom <G 4437>

shall be sure <G 7011> unto thee, after <G 1767> that thou shalt have

known <G 3046> that the heavens <G 8065> do rule <G 7990>.


4:27 Wherefore <G 3861>, O king <G 4430>, let my counsel <G 4431> be

acceptable <G 8232> unto thee, and break <G 6562> off thy sins <G 2408>

by righteousness <G 6665>, and thine iniquities <G 5758> by shewing

mercy <G 2604> to the poor <G 6033>; if <G 2006> it may be a

lengthening <G 0754> of thy tranquillity <G 7963>.


4:28. All <G 3606> this came <G 4291> upon the king <G 4430>

Nebuchadnezzar <G 5020>.


4:29 At the end <G 7118> of twelve months <G 3393> he walked <G 1981>

in the palace <G 1965> of the kingdom <G 4437> of Babylon <G 0895>.


4:30 The king <G 4430> spake <G 6032>, and said <G 0560>, Is not this

<G 1668> great <G 7227> Babylon <G 0895>, that I have built <G 1124> for

the house <G 1005> of the kingdom <G 4437> by the might <G 8632> of my

power <G 2632>, and for the honour <G 3367> of my majesty <G 1923>?


4:31 While <G 5751> the word <G 4406> [was] in the king's <G 4430>

mouth <G 6433>, there fell <G 5308> a voice <G 7032> from heaven

<G 8065>, [saying], O king <G 4430> Nebuchadnezzar <G 5020>, to thee it

is spoken <G 0560>; The kingdom <G 4437> is departed <G 5709> from

thee.


4:32 And they shall drive <G 2957> thee from men <G 0606>, and thy

dwelling <G 4070> [shall be] with the beasts <G 2423> of the field

<G 1251>: they shall make thee to eat <G 2939> grass <G 6211> as oxen

<G 8450>, and seven <G 7655> times <G 5732> shall pass <G 2499> over

<G 5922> thee, until <G 5704> thou know <G 3046> that the most <G 5943>

High <G 5943> ruleth <G 7980> in the kingdom <G 4437> of men <G 0606>,

and giveth <G 5415> it to whomsoever <G 4479> he will <G 6634>.


4:33 The same hour <G 8160> was the thing <G 4406> fulfilled <G 5487>

upon Nebuchadnezzar <G 5020>: and he was driven <G 2957> from men

<G 0606>, and did eat <G 0399> grass <G 6211> as oxen <G 8450>, and his

body <G 1655> was wet <G 6647> with the dew <G 2920> of heaven <G 8065>,

till <G 5704> his hairs <G 8177> were grown <G 7236> like eagles

<G 5403>' [feathers], and his nails <G 2953> like birds <G 6853>'

[claws].


4:34. And at the end <G 7118> of the days <G 3118> I Nebuchadnezzar

<G 5020> lifted <G 5191> up mine eyes <G 5870> unto heaven <G 8065>, and

mine understanding <G 4486> returned <G 7725> unto me, and I blessed

<G 1289> the most <G 5943> High <G 5943>, and I praised <G 7624> and

honoured <G 1922> him that liveth <G 2416> for ever <G 5957>, whose

<G 1768> dominion <G 7985> [is] an everlasting <G 5957> dominion

<G 7985>, and his kingdom <G 4437> [is] from generation <G 1859> to

generation <G 1859>:


4:35 And all <G 3606> the inhabitants <G 1753> of the earth <G 0772>

[are] reputed <G 2804> as nothing <G 3809>: and he doeth <G 5648>

according to his will <G 6634> in the army <G 2429> of heaven <G 8065>,

and [among] the inhabitants <G 1753> of the earth <G 0772>: and none

<G 3809> can stay <G 4223> his hand <G 3028>, or say <G 0560> unto him,

What <G 4101> doest <G 5648> thou?


4:36 At the same time <G 2166> my reason <G 4486> returned <G 7725>

unto me; and for the glory <G 3367> of my kingdom <G 4437>, mine

honour <G 1923> and brightness <G 2122> returned <G 7725> unto me; and

my counsellors <G 1907> and my lords <G 7261> sought <G 1158> unto me;

and I was established <G 8627> in my kingdom <G 4437>, and excellent

<G 3493> majesty <G 7238> was added <G 3255> unto me.


4:37 Now <G 3705> I Nebuchadnezzar <G 5020> praise <G 7624> and extol

<G 7313> and honour <G 1922> the King <G 4430> of heaven <G 8065>, all

<G 3606> whose works <G 4567> [are] truth <G 7187>, and his ways <G 0735>

judgment <G 1780>: and those <G 1768> that walk <G 1980> in pride

<G 1466> he is able <G 3202> to abase <G 8214>.

Daniel 5


5:1. Belshazzar <G 1113> the king <G 4430> made <G 5648> a great <G 7227>

feast <G 3900> to a thousand <G 0506> of his lords <G 7261>, and drank

<G 8355> wine <G 2562> before <G 6903> the thousand <G 0506>.


5:2 Belshazzar <G 1113>, whiles he tasted <G 2942> the wine <G 2562>,

commanded <G 0560> to bring <G 0858> the golden <G 1722> and silver

<G 3702> vessels <G 3984> which <G 1768> his father <G 2> Nebuchadnezzar

<G 5020> had taken <G 5312> out of the temple <G 1965> which <G 1768>

[was] in Jerusalem <G 3390>; that the king <G 4430>, and his princes

<G 7261>, his wives <G 7695>, and his concubines <G 3904>, might drink

<G 8355> therein.


5:3 Then <G 0116> they brought <G 0858> the golden <G 1722> vessels

<G 3984> that were taken <G 5312> out of the temple <G 1965> of the

house <G 1005> of God <G 0426> which <G 1768> [was] at Jerusalem

<G 3390>; and the king <G 4430>, and his princes <G 7261>, his wives

<G 7695>, and his concubines <G 3904>, drank <G 8355> in them.


5:4 They drank <G 8355> wine <G 2562>, and praised <G 7624> the gods

<G 0426> of gold <G 1722>, and of silver <G 3702>, of brass <G 5174>, of

iron <G 6523>, of wood <G 0636>, and of stone <G 69>.


5:5 In the same hour <G 8160> came <G 5312> forth <G 5312> fingers

<G 0677> of a man's <G 0606> hand <G 3028>, and wrote <G 3790> over

<G 6903> against <G 6903> the candlestick <G 5043> upon the plaister

<G 1528> of the wall <G 3797> of the king's <G 4430> palace <G 1965>: and

the king <G 4430> saw <G 2370> the part <G 6447> of the hand <G 3028>

that wrote <G 3790>.


5:6 Then <G 0116> the king's <G 4430> countenance <G 2122> was changed

<G 8133>, and his thoughts <G 7476> troubled <G 0927> him, so that the

joints <G 7001> of his loins <G 2788> were loosed <G 8271>, and his

knees <G 0755> smote <G 5368> one <G 1668> against another <G 1668>.


5:7 The king <G 4430> cried <G 7123> aloud <G 2429> to bring <G 5924> in

the astrologers <G 0826>, the Chaldeans <G 3779>, and the soothsayers

<G 1505>. [And] the king <G 4430> spake <G 6032>, and said <G 0560> to

the wise <G 2445> [men] of Babylon <G 0895>, Whosoever <G 3605> shall

read <G 7123> this <G 1836> writing <G 3792>, and shew <G 2324> me the

interpretation <G 6591> thereof, shall be clothed <G 3848> with

scarlet <G 0711>, and [have] a chain <G 2002> of gold <G 1722> about

<G 5922> his neck <G 6676>, and shall be the third <G 8523> ruler

<G 7981> in the kingdom <G 4437>.


5:8 Then <G 0116> came <G 5954> in all <G 3606> the king's <G 4430> wise

<G 2445> [men]: but they could <G 3546> not read <G 7123> the writing

<G 3792>, nor make known <G 3046> to the king <G 4430> the

interpretation <G 6591> thereof.


5:9 Then <G 0116> was king <G 4430> Belshazzar <G 1113> greatly <G 7690>

troubled <G 0927>, and his countenance <G 2122> was changed <G 8133> in

him, and his lords <G 7261> were astonied <G 2672>.


5:10. [Now] the queen <G 4433>, by reason <G 6903> of the words

<G 4406> of the king <G 4430> and his lords <G 7261>, came <G 5954> into

the banquet <G 4961> house <G 1005>: [and] the queen <G 4433> spake

<G 6032> and said <G 0560>, O king <G 4430>, live <G 2414> for ever

<G 5957>: let not thy thoughts <G 7476> trouble <G 0927> thee, nor

<G 0408> let thy countenance <G 2122> be changed <G 8133>:


5:11 There is a man <G 1400> in thy kingdom <G 4437>, in whom <G 1768>

[is] the spirit <G 7308> of the holy <G 6922> gods <G 0426>; and in the

days <G 3118> of thy father <G 2> light <G 5094> and understanding

<G 7924> and wisdom <G 2452>, like the wisdom <G 2452> of the gods

<G 0426>, was found <G 7912> in him; whom the king <G 4430>

Nebuchadnezzar <G 5020> thy father <G 2>, the king <G 4430>, [I say],

thy father <G 2>, made master <G 0729> of the magicians <G 2749>,

astrologers <G 0826>, Chaldeans <G 3779>, [and] soothsayers <G 1505>;


5:12 Forasmuch as an excellent <G 3493> spirit <G 7308>, and

knowledge <G 0998>, and understanding <G 7924>, interpreting <G 6591>

of dreams <G 2493>, and shewing <G 0263> of hard <G 0280> sentences

<G 0280>, and dissolving <G 8271> of doubts <G 7001>, were found <G 7912>

in the same Daniel <G 1841>, whom <G 1768> the king <G 4430> named

<G 8036> Belteshazzar <G 1096>: now <G 3705> let Daniel <G 1841> be

called <G 7123>, and he will shew <G 5046> the interpretation <G 6591>.


5:13 Then <G 0116> was Daniel <G 1841> brought <G 5954> in before

<G 6925> the king <G 4430>. [And] the king <G 4430> spake <G 6032> and

said <G 0560> unto Daniel <G 1841>, [Art] thou that Daniel <G 1841>,

which <G 1768> [art] of the children <G 1123> of the captivity <G 1547>

of Judah <G 3061>, whom <G 1768> the king <G 4430> my father <G 2>

brought <G 0858> out of Jewry <G 3061>?


5:14 I have even heard <G 8086> of thee, that the spirit <G 7308> of

the gods <G 0426> [is] in thee, and [that] light <G 5094> and

understanding <G 7924> and excellent <G 3493> wisdom <G 2452> is found

<G 7912> in thee.


5:15 And now <G 3705> the wise <G 2445> [men], the astrologers

<G 0826>, have been brought <G 5954> in before <G 6925> me, that they

should read <G 7123> this <G 1836> writing <G 3792>, and make known

<G 3046> unto me the interpretation <G 6591> thereof: but they could

<G 5346> not shew <G 2324> the interpretation <G 6591> of the thing

<G 4406>:


5:16 And I have heard <G 8086> of thee, that thou canst <G 3202> make

interpretations <G 6591>, and dissolve <G 8271> doubts <G 7001>: now

<G 3705> if <G 2006> thou canst <G 3202> read <G 7123> the writing

<G 3792>, and make known <G 3046> to me the interpretation <G 6591>

thereof, thou shalt be clothed <G 3848> with scarlet <G 0711>, and

[have] a chain <G 2002> of gold <G 1722> about <G 5922> thy neck

<G 6676>, and shalt be the third <G 8531> ruler <G 7981> in the kingdom

<G 4437>.


5:17 Then <G 0116> Daniel <G 1841> answered <G 6032> and said <G 0560>

before <G 6925> the king <G 4430>, Let thy gifts <G 4978> be to

thyself, and give <G 3052> thy rewards <G 5023> to another <G 0321>;

yet <G 1297> I will read <G 7123> the writing <G 3792> unto the king

<G 4430>, and make known <G 3046> to him the interpretation <G 6591>.


5:18 O thou king <G 4430>, the most <G 5943> high <G 5943> God <G 0426>

gave <G 3052> Nebuchadnezzar <G 5020> thy father <G 2> a kingdom

<G 4437>, and majesty <G 7238>, and glory <G 3367>, and honour <G 1923>:


5:19 And for the majesty <G 7238> that he gave <G 3052> him, all

<G 3606> people <G 5972>, nations <G 0524>, and languages <G 3961>,

trembled <G 2112> and feared <G 1763> before him: whom <G 1768> he

would <G 6634> he slew <G 6992>; and whom <G 1768> he would <G 6634> he

kept alive <G 2418>; and whom <G 1768> he would <G 6634> he set <G 7313>

up; and whom he would <G 6634> he put <G 8214> down <G 8214>.


5:20 But when <G 1768> his heart <G 3825> was lifted <G 7313> up, and

his mind <G 7307> hardened <G 8631> in pride <G 2103>, he was deposed

<G 5182> from his kingly <G 4437> throne <G 3764>, and they took <G 5709>

his glory <G 3367> from him:


5:21 And he was driven <G 2957> from the sons <G 1123> of men <G 0606>;

and his heart <G 3825> was made <G 7737> like <G 5974> the beasts

<G 2423>, and his dwelling <G 4070> [was] with the wild <G 6167> asses

<G 6167>: they fed <G 2939> him with grass <G 6211> like oxen <G 8450>,

and his body <G 1655> was wet <G 6647> with the dew <G 2920> of heaven

<G 8065>; till <G 5704> he knew <G 3046> that the most <G 5943> high

<G 5943> God <G 0426> ruled <G 7990> in the kingdom <G 4437> of men

<G 0606>, and [that] he appointeth <G 6966> over <G 5922> it whomsoever

he will <G 6634>.


5:22 And thou his son <G 1247>, O Belshazzar <G 1113>, hast not

humbled <G 8214> thine heart <G 3825>, though thou knewest <G 3046> all

<G 3606> this <G 1836>;


5:23 But hast lifted <G 7313> up thyself against <G 5922> the Lord

<G 4756> of heaven <G 8065>; and they have brought <G 0858> the vessels

<G 3984> of his house <G 1005> before <G 6925> thee, and thou, and thy

lords <G 7261>, thy wives <G 7695>, and thy concubines <G 3904>, have

drunk <G 8355> wine <G 2562> in them; and thou hast praised <G 7624>

the gods <G 0426> of silver <G 3702>, and gold <G 1722>, of brass

<G 5174>, iron <G 6523>, wood <G 0636>, and stone <G 69>, which <G 1768>

see <G 2370> not, nor <G 3809> hear <G 8086>, nor <G 3809> know <G 3046>:

and the God <G 0426> in whose <G 1768> hand <G 3028> thy breath <G 5396>

[is], and whose [are] all <G 3606> thy ways <G 0735>, hast thou not

glorified <G 1922>:


5:24 Then <G 0116> was the part <G 6447> of the hand <G 3028> sent

<G 7972> from him; and this <G 1836> writing <G 3792> was written

<G 7560>.


5:25 And this <G 1836> [is] the writing <G 3792> that was written

<G 7560>, MENE <G 4484>, MENE <G 4484>, TEKEL <G 8625>, UPHARSIN <G 6537>.


5:26 This <G 1836> [is] the interpretation <G 6591> of the thing

<G 4406>: MENE <G 4484>; God <G 0426> hath numbered <G 4483> thy kingdom

<G 4437>, and finished <G 8000> it.


5:27 TEKEL <G 8625>; Thou art weighed <G 8625> in the balances

<G 3976>, and art found <G 7912> wanting <G 2627>.


5:28 PERES <G 6537>; Thy kingdom <G 4437> is divided <G 6537>, and

given <G 3052> to the Medes <G 4076> and Persians <G 6540>.


5:29 Then <G 0116> commanded <G 0560> Belshazzar <G 1113>, and they

clothed <G 3848> Daniel <G 1841> with scarlet <G 0711>, and [put] a

chain <G 2002> of gold <G 1722> about <G 5922> his neck <G 6676>, and

made a proclamation <G 3745> concerning <G 5922> him, that he should

be the third <G 8531> ruler <G 7990> in the kingdom <G 4437>.


5:30. In that night <G 3916> was Belshazzar <G 1113> the king <G 4430>

of the Chaldeans <G 3779> slain <G 6992>.


5:31 And Darius <G 1868> the Median <G 4077> took <G 6902> the kingdom

<G 4437>, [being] about threescore <G 8361> and two <G 8648> years

<G 8140> old <G 1247>.


==== <DAN6>

Daniel 6


6:1. It pleased <G 8232> Darius <G 1868> to set <G 3966> over <G 5922>

the kingdom <G 4437> an hundred <G 3969> and twenty <G 6243> princes

<G 0324>, which <G 1768> should be over the whole <G 3606> kingdom

<G 4437>;


6:2 And over <G 5924> these <G 4481> three <G 8532> presidents <G 5632>;

of whom Daniel <G 1841> [was] first <G 2298>: that the princes <G 0324>

might give <G 3052> accounts <G 2941> unto them, and the king <G 4430>

should have <G 1934> no <G 3809> damage <G 5142>.


6:3 Then <G 0116> this <G 1836> Daniel <G 1841> was preferred <G 5330>

above <G 5922> the presidents <G 5632> and princes <G 0324>, because an

excellent <G 3493> spirit <G 7308> [was] in him; and the king <G 4430>

thought <G 6246> to set <G 3966> him over <G 5922> the whole <G 3606>

realm <G 4437>.


6:4 Then <G 0116> the presidents <G 5632> and princes <G 0324> sought

<G 1158> to find <G 7912> occasion <G 5931> against Daniel <G 1841>

concerning <G 6655> the kingdom <G 4437>; but they could <G 3202> find

<G 7912> none <G 3809> occasion <G 5931> nor <G 3809> fault <G 7844>;

forasmuch as he [was] faithful <G 0540>, neither <G 3809> was there

any <G 3606> error <G 7960> or fault <G 7844> found <G 7912> in him.


6:5 Then <G 0116> said <G 0560> these <G 0479> men <G 1400>, We shall not

find <G 7912> any <G 3606> occasion <G 5931> against <G 5922> this <G 1836>

Daniel <G 1841>, except <G 3861> we find <G 7912> [it] against him

concerning the law <G 1882> of his God <G 0426>.


6:6. Then <G 0116> these <G 0459> presidents <G 5632> and princes

<G 0324> assembled <G 7284> together to the king <G 4430>, and said

<G 0560> thus <G 3652> unto him, King <G 4430> Darius <G 1868>, live

<G 2414> for ever <G 5757>.


6:7 All <G 3606> the presidents <G 5632> of the kingdom <G 4437>, the

governors <G 5461>, and the princes <G 0324>, the counsellors <G 1907>,

and the captains <G 6347>, have consulted <G 3272> together to

establish <G 6966> a royal <G 4430> statute <G 7010>, and to make a

firm <G 8631> decree <G 0633>, that whosoever <G 3605> shall ask <G 1156>

a petition <G 1159> of any <G 3606> God <G 0426> or man <G 0606> for

thirty <G 8533> days <G 3118>, save <G 3861> of thee, O king <G 4430>, he

shall be cast <G 7412> into the den <G 1358> of lions <G 0744>.


6:8 Now <G 3705>, O king <G 4430>, establish <G 6966> the decree

<G 0633>, and sign <G 7560> the writing <G 3792>, that it be not

changed <G 8133>, according to the law <G 1882> of the Medes <G 4076>

and Persians <G 6540>, which <G 1768> altereth <G 5709> not.


6:9 Wherefore king <G 4430> Darius <G 1868> signed <G 7560> the writing

<G 3792> and the decree <G 0633>.


6:10 Now <G 1768> when <G 1768> Daniel <G 1841> knew <G 3046> that the

writing <G 3792> was signed <G 7560>, he went <G 5954> into his house

<G 1005>; and his windows <G 3551> being open <G 6606> in his chamber

<G 5952> toward <G 5049> Jerusalem <G 3390>, he kneeled <G 1289> upon his

knees <G 1291> three <G 8532> times <G 2166> a day <G 3118>, and prayed

<G 6739>, and gave thanks <G 3029> before <G 6925> his God <G 0426>, as

he did <G 5648> aforetime.


6:11. Then <G 0116> these <G 0479> men <G 1400> assembled <G 7284>, and

found <G 7912> Daniel <G 1841> praying <G 1156> and making supplication

<G 2604> before <G 6925> his God <G 0426>.


6:12 Then <G 0116> they came <G 7127> near <G 7127>, and spake <G 0560>

before <G 6925> the king <G 4430> concerning <G 5922> the king's <G 4430>

decree <G 0633>; Hast thou not signed <G 7560> a decree <G 0633>, that

every <G 3606> man <G 0606> that shall ask <G 1156> [a petition] of any

<G 3606> God <G 0426> or man <G 0606> within <G 5705> thirty <G 8533> days

<G 3118>, save <G 3861> of thee, O king <G 4430>, shall be cast <G 7412>

into the den <G 1358> of lions <G 0744>? The king <G 4430> answered

<G 6032> and said <G 0560>, The thing <G 4406> [is] true <G 3330>,

according to the law <G 1882> of the Medes <G 4076> and Persians

<G 6540>, which <G 1768> altereth <G 5709> not.


6:13 Then <G 0116> answered <G 6032> they and said <G 0560> before

<G 6925> the king <G 4430>, That Daniel <G 1841>, which <G 1768> [is] of

the children <G 1123> of the captivity <G 1547> of Judah <G 3061>,

regardeth not thee, O king <G 4430>, nor the decree <G 0633> that

thou hast signed <G 7560>, but maketh his petition <G 1159> three

<G 8532> times <G 2166> a day <G 3118>.


6:14 Then <G 0116> the king <G 4430>, when <G 1768> he heard <G 8086>

[these] words <G 4406>, was sore <G 7690> displeased <G 0888> with

himself, and set <G 7761> [his] heart <G 1079> on <G 5922> Daniel

<G 1841> to deliver <G 7804> him: and he laboured <G 7712> till <G 5704>

the going <G 4606> down <G 4606> of the sun <G 8122> to deliver <G 5338>

him.


6:15 Then <G 0116> these <G 0479> men <G 1400> assembled <G 7284> unto

the king <G 4430>, and said <G 0560> unto the king <G 4430>, Know

<G 3046>, O king <G 4430>, that the law <G 1882> of the Medes <G 4076>

and Persians <G 6540> [is], That no decree <G 0633> nor statute

<G 7010> which <G 1768> the king <G 4430> establisheth <G 6966> may be

changed <G 8133>.


6:16 Then <G 0116> the king <G 4430> commanded <G 0560>, and they

brought <G 0858> Daniel <G 1841>, and cast <G 7412> [him] into the den

<G 1358> of lions <G 0744>. [Now <G 0116>] the king <G 4430> spake <G 6032>

and said <G 0560> unto Daniel <G 1841>, Thy God <G 0426> whom <G 1768>

thou servest <G 6399> continually <G 8411>, he will deliver <G 7804>

thee.


6:17 And a stone <G 69> was brought <G 0858>, and laid <G 7760> upon

the mouth <G 6433> of the den <G 1358>; and the king <G 4430> sealed

<G 2857> it with his own signet <G 5824>, and with the signet <G 5824>

of his lords <G 7261>; that the purpose <G 6640> might not be changed

<G 8133> concerning Daniel <G 1841>.


6:18. Then <G 0116> the king <G 4430> went <G 0236> to his palace

<G 1965>, and passed the night <G 0956> fasting <G 2908>: neither

<G 3809> were instruments <G 1761> of musick brought <G 5954> before

<G 6925> him: and his sleep <G 8139> went <G 5075> from him.


6:19 Then <G 0116> the king <G 4430> arose <G 6966> very early <G 8238>

in the morning <G 5053>, and went <G 0236> in haste <G 0927> unto the

den <G 1358> of lions <G 0744>.


6:20 And when he came <G 7127> to the den <G 1358>, he cried <G 2200>

with a lamentable <G 6088> voice <G 7032> unto Daniel <G 1841>: [and]

the king <G 4430> spake <G 6032> and said <G 0560> to Daniel <G 1841>, O

Daniel <G 1841>, servant <G 5649> of the living <G 2417> God <G 0426>, is

thy God <G 0426>, whom <G 1768> thou servest <G 6399> continually

<G 8411>, able <G 3202> to deliver <G 7804> thee from the lions <G 0744>?


6:21 Then <G 0116> said <G 4449> Daniel <G 1841> unto the king <G 4430>,

O king <G 4430>, live <G 2414> for ever <G 5957>.


6:22 My God <G 0426> hath sent <G 7972> his angel <G 4398>, and hath

shut <G 5463> the lions <G 0744>' mouths <G 6433>, that they have not

hurt <G 2255> me: forasmuch as before <G 6925> him innocency <G 2136>

was found <G 7912> in me; and also <G 0638> before <G 6925> thee, O

king <G 4430>, have I done <G 5648> no <G 3809> hurt <G 2248>.


6:23 Then <G 0116> was the king <G 4430> exceeding <G 7689> glad <G 2868>

for him, and commanded <G 0560> that they should take <G 5267> Daniel

<G 1841> up out of the den <G 1358>. So Daniel <G 1841> was taken

<G 5267> up out of the den <G 1358>, and no manner of hurt <G 2257> was

found <G 7912> upon him, because <G 1768> he believed <G 0540> in his

God <G 0426>.


6:24 And the king <G 4430> commanded <G 0560>, and they brought

<G 0858> those <G 0479> men <G 1400> which <G 1768> had accused <G 7170>

Daniel <G 1841>, and they cast <G 7412> [them] into the den <G 1358> of

lions <G 0744>, them, their children <G 1123>, and their wives

<G 5389>; and the lions <G 0744> had the mastery <G 6981> of them, and

brake <G 1855> all <G 3606> their bones <G 1635> in pieces or ever

<G 3809> they came <G 4291> at the bottom <G 0773> of the den <G 1358>.


6:25. Then <G 0116> king <G 4430> Darius <G 1868> wrote <G 3790> unto all

<G 3606> people <G 5972>, nations <G 0524>, and languages <G 3961>, that

dwell <G 1753> in all <G 3606> the earth <G 0772>; Peace <G 8001> be

multiplied <G 7680> unto you.


6:26 I make <G 7761> a decree <G 2942>, That in every <G 3606> dominion

<G 7985> of my kingdom <G 4437> men tremble <G 2112> and fear <G 1763>

before the God <G 0426> of Daniel <G 1841>: for he [is] the living

<G 2417> God <G 0426>, and stedfast <G 7011> for ever <G 5957>, and his

kingdom <G 4437> [that] which <G 1768> shall not be destroyed <G 2255>,

and his dominion <G 7985> [shall be even] unto the end <G 5491>.


6:27 He delivereth <G 7804> and rescueth <G 5338>, and he worketh

<G 5648> signs <G 0852> and wonders <G 8540> in heaven <G 8065> and in

earth <G 0772>, who <G 1768> hath delivered <G 7804> Daniel <G 1841> from

the power <G 3028> of the lions <G 0744>.


6:28 So this <G 1836> Daniel <G 1841> prospered <G 6744> in the reign

<G 4437> of Darius <G 1868>, and in the reign <G 4437> of Cyrus <G 3567>

the Persian <G 6523>.


==== <DAN7>

Daniel 7


7:1. In the first <G 2298> year <G 8140> of Belshazzar <G 1113> king

<G 4430> of Babylon <G 0895> Daniel <G 1841> had <G 2370> a dream <G 2493>

and visions <G 2376> of his head <G 7217> upon his bed <G 4903>: then

<G 0116> he wrote <G 3790> the dream <G 2493>, [and] told <G 0560> the

sum <G 7217> of the matters <G 4406>.


7:2 Daniel <G 1841> spake <G 6032> and said <G 0560>, I saw <G 2370> in

my vision <G 2376> by night <G 3916>, and, behold <G 0718>, the four

<G 0703> winds <G 7308> of the heaven <G 8065> strove <G 1519> upon the

great <G 7227> sea <G 3221>.


7:3 And four <G 0703> great <G 7260> beasts <G 2423> came <G 5559> up

from the sea <G 3221>, diverse <G 8133> one <G 1668> from another

<G 1668>.


7:4 The first <G 6933> [was] like a lion <G 0738>, and had eagle's

<G 5403> wings <G 1611>: I beheld till <G 5704> the wings <G 1611>

thereof were plucked <G 4804>, and it was lifted <G 5191> up from the

earth <G 0772>, and made stand <G 6966> upon the feet <G 7271> as a man

<G 0606>, and a man's <G 0606> heart <G 3825> was given <G 3052> to it.


7:5 And behold <G 0718> another <G 0317> beast <G 2423>, a second

<G 8578>, like <G 1821> to a bear <G 1678>, and it raised <G 6966> up

itself on one <G 2298> side <G 7859>, and [it had] three <G 8532> ribs

<G 6763> in the mouth <G 6433> of it between <G 0997> the teeth <G 8128>

of it: and they said <G 0560> thus <G 3652> unto it, Arise <G 6965>,

devour <G 0399> much <G 7690> flesh <G 1321>.


7:6 After <G 0870> this <G 1836> I beheld, and lo <G 0718> another

<G 0317>, like a leopard <G 5245>, which <G 1768> had upon the back

<G 1355> of it four <G 0703> wings <G 1611> of a fowl <G 5776>; the beast

<G 2423> had also four <G 0703> heads <G 7217>; and dominion <G 7985> was

given <G 3052> to it.


7:7 After <G 0870> this <G 1836> I saw <G 2370> in the night <G 3916>

visions <G 2376>, and behold <G 0718> a fourth <G 7244> beast <G 2423>,

dreadful <G 1763> and terrible <G 0574>, and strong <G 8624>

exceedingly <G 3493>; and it had great <G 7260> iron <G 6523> teeth

<G 8128>: it devoured <G 0399> and brake <G 1855> in pieces, and

stamped <G 7512> the residue <G 7606> with the feet <G 7271> of it: and

it [was] diverse <G 8133> from all <G 3606> the beasts <G 2423> that

[were] before <G 6925> it; and it had ten <G 6236> horns <G 7162>.


7:8 I considered <G 7920> the horns <G 7162>, and, behold <G 0431>,

there came <G 5559> up among <G 0997> them another <G 0317> little

<G 2192> horn <G 7162>, before <G 6925> whom there were three <G 8532> of

the first <G 6933> horns <G 7162> plucked <G 6132> up by the roots

<G 6132>: and, behold <G 0431>, in this <G 1668> horn <G 7162> [were]

eyes <G 5870> like the eyes <G 5870> of man <G 0606>, and a mouth

<G 6433> speaking <G 4449> great <G 7260> things.


7:9. I beheld till <G 5704> the thrones <G 3764> were cast <G 7412>

down, and the Ancient <G 6268> of days <G 3118> did sit <G 3488>, whose

garment <G 3831> [was] white as snow <G 8517>, and the hair <G 8177> of

his head <G 7217> like the pure <G 5343> wool <G 6015>: his throne

<G 3764> [was like] the fiery <G 5135> flame <G 7631>, [and] his wheels

<G 1535> [as] burning <G 1815> fire <G 5135>.


7:10 A fiery <G 5135> stream <G 5103> issued <G 5047> and came <G 5312>

forth <G 5312> from before <G 6925> him: thousand <G 0506> thousands

<G 0506> ministered <G 8120> unto him, and ten <G 7240> thousand <G 7240>

times ten <G 7240> thousand <G 7240> stood <G 6966> before <G 6925> him:

the judgment <G 1780> was set <G 3488>, and the books <G 5609> were

opened <G 6606>.


7:11 I beheld then <G 0116> because <G 4481> of the voice <G 7032> of

the great <G 7260> words <G 4406> which <G 1768> the horn <G 7162> spake

<G 4449>: I beheld [even <G 5705>] till <G 5704> the beast <G 2423> was

slain <G 6992>, and his body <G 1655> destroyed <G 7>, and given <G 3052>

to the burning <G 3346> flame <G 0785>.


7:12 As concerning the rest <G 7606> of the beasts <G 2423>, they had

their dominion <G 7985> taken <G 5709> away <G 5709>: yet their lives

<G 2417> were prolonged for a season <G 2166> and time <G 5732>.


7:13 I saw <G 2370> in the night <G 6916> visions <G 2376>, and, behold

<G 0718>, [one] like the Son <G 1247> of man <G 0606> came with the

clouds <G 6050> of heaven <G 8065>, and came <G 4291> to the Ancient

<G 6268> of days <G 3118>, and they brought <G 7127> him near <G 7127>

before <G 6925> him.


7:14 And there was given <G 3052> him dominion <G 7985>, and glory

<G 3367>, and a kingdom <G 4437>, that all <G 3606> people <G 5972>,

nations <G 0524>, and languages <G 3961>, should serve <G 6399> him:

his dominion <G 7985> [is] an everlasting <G 5957> dominion <G 7985>,

which <G 1768> shall not pass <G 5709> away <G 5709>, and his kingdom

<G 4437> [that] which <G 1768> shall not be destroyed <G 2255>.


7:15. I Daniel <G 1841> was grieved <G 3735> in my spirit <G 7308> in

the midst <G 1459> of [my] body <G 5085>, and the visions <G 2376> of

my head <G 7217> troubled <G 0927> me.


7:16 I came <G 7127> near <G 7127> unto one <G 2298> of them that stood

<G 6966> by, and asked <G 1156> him the truth <G 3330> of all <G 3606>

this <G 1836>. So he told <G 0560> me, and made me know <G 3046> the

interpretation <G 6591> of the things <G 4406>.


7:17 These <G 0459> great <G 7260> beasts <G 2423>, which <G 1768> are

four <G 0703>, [are] four <G 0703> kings <G 4430>, [which] shall arise

<G 6965> out of the earth <G 0772>.


7:18 But the saints <G 6922> of the most <G 5946> High <G 5946> shall

take <G 6902> the kingdom <G 4437>, and possess <G 2631> the kingdom

<G 4437> for ever <G 5957>, even <G 5705> for ever <G 5957> and ever

<G 5957>.


7:19 Then <G 0116> I would <G 6634> know <G 3046> the truth <G 3321> of

the fourth <G 7244> beast <G 2423>, which <G 1768> was diverse <G 8133>

from all <G 3606> the others, exceeding <G 3493> dreadful <G 1763>,

whose <G 1768> teeth <G 8128> [were of] iron <G 6523>, and his nails

<G 2953> [of] brass <G 5174>; [which] devoured <G 0399>, brake <G 1855>

in pieces, and stamped <G 7512> the residue <G 7606> with his feet

<G 7271>;


7:20 And of the ten <G 6236> horns <G 7162> that [were] in his head

<G 7217>, and [of] the other <G 0317> which <G 1768> came <G 5559> up,

and before whom <G 4479> three <G 8532> fell <G 5308>; even [of] that

horn <G 7162> that had eyes <G 5870>, and a mouth <G 6433> that spake

<G 4449> very <G 7260> great <G 7260> things, whose look <G 2376> [was]

more <G 5750> stout <G 7229> than <G 4481> his fellows <G 2273>.


7:21 I beheld, and the same <G 1797> horn <G 7162> made <G 5648> war

<G 7129> with the saints <G 6922>, and prevailed <G 3202> against them;


7:22 Until <G 5704> the Ancient <G 6268> of days <G 3118> came <G 0858>,

and judgment <G 1780> was given <G 3052> to the saints <G 6922> of the

most <G 5946> High <G 5946>; and the time <G 2166> came <G 4291> that the

saints <G 6922> possessed <G 2631> the kingdom <G 4437>.


7:23 Thus <G 3652> he said <G 0560>, The fourth <G 7244> beast <G 2423>

shall be the fourth <G 7244> kingdom <G 4437> upon earth <G 0772>,

which <G 1768> shall be diverse <G 8133> from all <G 3606> kingdoms

<G 4437>, and shall devour <G 0399> the whole <G 3606> earth <G 0772>,

and shall tread <G 1759> it down, and break <G 1854> it in pieces.


7:24 And the ten <G 6236> horns <G 7162> out of this kingdom <G 4437>

[are] ten <G 6236> kings <G 4430> [that] shall arise <G 6965>: and

another <G 0312> shall rise <G 6966> after <G 0311> them; and he shall

be diverse <G 8133> from the first <G 6933>, and he shall subdue

<G 8214> three <G 8532> kings <G 4430>.


7:25 And he shall speak <G 4449> [great] words <G 4406> against

<G 6655> the most <G 5943> High <G 5943>, and shall wear <G 1080> out the

saints <G 6922> of the most <G 5946> High <G 5946>, and think <G 5452> to

change <G 8133> times <G 2166> and laws <G 1882>: and they shall be

given <G 3052> into his hand <G 3028> until <G 5704> a time <G 5732> and

times <G 5732> and the dividing <G 6387> of time <G 5732>.


7:26 But the judgment <G 1780> shall sit <G 3488>, and they shall

take <G 5709> away <G 5709> his dominion <G 7985>, to consume <G 8046>

and to destroy <G 7> [it] unto the end <G 5491>.


7:27 And the kingdom <G 4437> and dominion <G 7985>, and the

greatness <G 7238> of the kingdom <G 4437> under <G 8460> the whole

<G 3606> heaven <G 8065>, shall be given <G 3052> to the people <G 5972>

of the saints <G 6922> of the most <G 5945> High <G 5946>, whose

kingdom <G 4437> [is] an everlasting <G 5957> kingdom <G 4437>, and all

<G 3606> dominions <G 7985> shall serve <G 6399> and obey <G 8086> him.


7:28 Hitherto [is] the end <G 5491> of the matter <G 4406>. As for me

Daniel <G 1841>, my cogitations <G 7476> much <G 7690> troubled <G 0927>

me, and my countenance <G 2122> changed <G 8133> in me: but I kept

<G 5202> the matter <G 4406> in my heart <G 3821>.


==== <DAN8>

Daniel 8


8:1. In the third <G 7969> year <G 8141> of the reign <G 4438> of king

<G 4428> Belshazzar <G 1113> a vision <G 2377> appeared <G 7200> unto me,

[even unto] me Daniel <G 1840>, after <G 0310> that which appeared

<G 7200> unto me at the first <G 8462>.


8:2 And I saw <G 7200> in a vision <G 2377>; and it came <G 1961> to

pass, when I saw <G 7200>, that I [was] at Shushan <G 7800> [in] the

palace <G 1002>, which <G 0834> [is] in the province <G 4082> of Elam

<G 5867>; and I saw <G 7200> in a vision <G 2377>, and I was by the

river <G 0180> of Ulai <G 0195>.


8:3 Then I lifted <G 5375> up mine eyes <G 5869>, and saw <G 7200>,

and, behold <G 2009>, there stood <G 5975> before <G 6440> the river

<G 0180> a ram <G 0352> which had [two] horns <G 7161>: and the [two]

horns <G 7161> [were] high <G 1364>; but one <G 0259> [was] higher

<G 1364> than <G 4480> the other <G 8145>, and the higher <G 1364> came

<G 5927> up last <G 0314>.


8:4 I saw <G 7200> the ram <G 0352> pushing <G 5055> westward <G 3220>,

and northward <G 6828>, and southward <G 5045>; so that no <G 3808>

beasts <G 2416> might stand <G 5975> before <G 6440> him, neither

<G 0369> [was there any] that could deliver <G 5337> out of his hand

<G 3027>; but he did <G 6213> according to his will <G 7522>, and

became <G 1431> great <G 1431>.


8:5 And as I was considering <G 0995>, behold <G 2009>, an he goat

<G 5795> came <G 0935> from the west <G 4628> on the face <G 6440> of the

whole <G 3605> earth <G 0776>, and touched <G 5060> not the ground

<G 0776>: and the goat <G 6842> [had] a notable <G 2380> horn <G 7161>

between <G 0996> his eyes <G 5869>.


8:6 And he came <G 0935> to the ram <G 0352> that had [two] horns

<G 7161>, which <G 0834> I had seen <G 7200> standing <G 5975> before

<G 6440> the river <G 0180>, and ran <G 7323> unto him in the fury

<G 2534> of his power <G 3581>.


8:7 And I saw <G 7200> him come <G 5060> close <G 0681> unto the ram

<G 0352>, and he was moved with choler <G 4843> against <G 0413> him,

and smote <G 5221> the ram <G 0352>, and brake <G 7665> his two <G 8147>

horns <G 7161>: and there was no <G 3808> power <G 3581> in the ram

<G 0352> to stand <G 5975> before <G 6440> him, but he cast <G 7993> him

down to the ground <G 0776>, and stamped <G 7429> upon him: and there

was none <G 3808> that could deliver <G 5337> the ram <G 0352> out of

his hand <G 3027>.


8:8 Therefore the he goat <G 6842> waxed very great <G 1431>: and

when he was strong <G 6105>, the great <G 1419> horn <G 7161> was

broken <G 7665>; and for it came <G 5927> up four <G 0702> notable

<G 2380> ones toward the four <G 0702> winds <G 7307> of heaven <G 8064>.


8:9 And out of one <G 0259> of them came <G 3318> forth <G 3318> a

little <G 4704> horn <G 7161>, which waxed exceeding <G 3499> great

<G 1431>, toward <G 0413> the south <G 5045>, and toward <G 0413> the

east <G 4217>, and toward <G 0413> the pleasant <G 6643> [land].


8:10 And it waxed great <G 1431>, [even] to the host <G 6635> of

heaven <G 8064>; and it cast <G 5307> down <G 5307> [some] of the host

<G 6635> and of the stars <G 3556> to the ground <G 0776>, and stamped

<G 7429> upon them.


8:11 Yea, he magnified <G 1431> [himself] even to the prince <G 8269>

of the host <G 6635>, and by him the daily <G 8548> [sacrifice] was

taken <G 7311> away <G 7311>, and the place <G 4349> of his sanctuary

<G 4720> was cast <G 7993> down.


8:12 And an host <G 6635> was given <G 5414> [him] against <G 5921> the

daily <G 8548> [sacrifice] by reason of transgression <G 6588>, and

it cast <G 7993> down the truth <G 0571> to the ground <G 0776>; and it

practised <G 6213>, and prospered <G 6743>.


8:13 Then I heard <G 8085> one <G 0259> saint <G 6918> speaking <G 1696>,

and another <G 0259> saint <G 6918> said <G 0559> unto that certain

<G 6422> [saint] which spake <G 1696>, How <G 5704> long <G 5704> [shall

be] the vision <G 2377> [concerning] the daily <G 8548> [sacrifice],

and the transgression <G 6588> of desolation <G 8074>, to give <G 5414>

both the sanctuary <G 6944> and the host <G 6635> to be trodden

<G 4823> under foot <G 4823>?


8:14 And he said <G 0559> unto me, Unto two thousand <G 0505> and

three <G 7969> hundred <G 3967> days; then shall the sanctuary <G 6944>

be cleansed <G 6663>.


8:15. And it came <G 1961> to pass, when I, [even] I Daniel <G 1840>,

had seen <G 7200> the vision <G 2377>, and sought <G 1245> for the

meaning <G 0998>, then, behold <G 2009>, there stood <G 5975> before

<G 5048> me as the appearance <G 4758> of a man <G 1397>.


8:16 And I heard <G 8085> a man's <G 0120> voice <G 6963> between

<G 0996> [the banks of] Ulai <G 0195>, which called <G 7121>, and said

<G 0559>, Gabriel <G 1403>, make this <G 1975> [man] to understand

<G 0995> the vision <G 4758>.


8:17 So he came <G 0935> near <G 0681> where I stood <G 5977>: and when

he came <G 0935>, I was afraid <G 1204>, and fell <G 5307> upon my face

<G 6440>: but he said <G 0559> unto me, Understand <G 0995>, O son

<G 1121> of man <G 0120>: for at the time <G 6256> of the end <G 7093>

[shall be] the vision <G 4758>.


8:18 Now as he was speaking <G 1696> with me, I was in a deep

<G 7290> sleep <G 7290> on <G 5921> my face <G 6440> toward the ground

<G 0776>: but he touched <G 5060> me, and set <G 5975> me upright

<G 5977>.


8:19 And he said <G 0559>, Behold <G 2005>, I will make thee know

<G 3045> what shall be in the last <G 0319> end of the indignation

<G 2195>: for at the time appointed <G 4150> the end <G 7093> [shall

be].


8:20 The ram <G 0352> which <G 0834> thou sawest <G 7200> having <G 1167>

[two] horns <G 7161> [are] the kings <G 4428> of Media <G 4074> and

Persia <G 6539>.


8:21 And the rough <G 8163> goat <G 6842> [is] the king <G 4428> of

Grecia <G 3120>: and the great <G 1419> horn <G 7161> that [is] between

<G 0996> his eyes <G 5869> [is] the first <G 7223> king <G 4428>.


8:22 Now that being broken <G 7665>, whereas four <G 0702> stood

<G 5975> up for it, four <G 0702> kingdoms <G 4438> shall stand <G 5975>

up out of the nation <G 1471>, but not in his power <G 3581>.


8:23 And in the latter <G 0319> time of their kingdom <G 4438>, when

the transgressors <G 6586> are come to the full <G 8552>, a king

<G 4428> of fierce <G 5794> countenance <G 6440>, and understanding

<G 0995> dark <G 2420> sentences <G 2420>, shall stand <G 5975> up.


8:24 And his power <G 3581> shall be mighty <G 6105>, but not by his

own power <G 3581>: and he shall destroy <G 7843> wonderfully <G 6381>,

and shall prosper <G 6743>, and practise <G 6213>, and shall destroy

<G 7843> the mighty <G 6099> and the holy <G 6918> people <G 5971>.


8:25 And through <G 5921> his policy <G 7922> also he shall cause

craft <G 4820> to prosper <G 6743> in his hand <G 3027>; and he shall

magnify <G 1431> [himself] in his heart <G 3824>, and by peace <G 7962>

shall destroy <G 7843> many <G 7227>: he shall also stand <G 5975> up

against <G 5921> the Prince <G 8269> of princes <G 8269>; but he shall

be broken <G 7665> without <G 0657> hand <G 3027>.


8:26 And the vision <G 4758> of the evening <G 6153> and the morning

<G 1242> which <G 0834> was told <G 0560> [is] true <G 0571>: wherefore

shut <G 5640> thou up the vision <G 2377>; for it [shall be] for many

<G 7227> days <G 3117>.


8:27 And I Daniel <G 1840> fainted <G 1961>, and was sick <G 2470>

[certain] days <G 3117>; afterward I rose <G 6965> up, and did <G 6213>

the king's <G 4428> business <G 4399>; and I was astonished <G 8074> at

<G 5921> the vision <G 4758>, but none <G 0369> understood <G 0995> [it].


==== <DAN9>

Daniel 9


9:1. In the first <G 0259> year <G 8141> of Darius <G 1867> the son

<G 1121> of Ahasuerus <G 0325>, of the seed <G 2233> of the Medes

<G 4074>, which <G 0834> was made king <G 4427> over <G 5921> the realm

<G 4438> of the Chaldeans <G 3778>;


9:2 In the first <G 0259> year <G 8141> of his reign <G 4427> I Daniel

<G 1840> understood <G 0995> by books <G 5612> the number <G 4557> of the

years <G 8141>, whereof <G 0834> the word <G 1697> of the LORD <G 3068>

came <G 1961> to Jeremiah <G 3414> the prophet <G 5030>, that he would

accomplish <G 4390> seventy <G 7657> years <G 8141> in the desolations

<G 2723> of Jerusalem <G 3389>.


9:3 And I set <G 5414> my face <G 6440> unto the Lord <G 0136> God

<G 0430>, to seek <G 1245> by prayer <G 8605> and supplications <G 8469>,

with fasting <G 6685>, and sackcloth <G 8242>, and ashes <G 0665>:


9:4. And I prayed <G 6419> unto the LORD <G 3068> my God <G 0430>, and

made my confession <G 3034>, and said <G 0559>, O Lord <G 0136>, the

great <G 1419> and dreadful <G 3372> God <G 0410>, keeping <G 8104> the

covenant <G 1285> and mercy <G 2617> to them that love <G 0157> him,

and to them that keep <G 8104> his commandments <G 4687>;


9:5 We have sinned <G 2398>, and have committed <G 5753> iniquity

<G 5753>, and have done wickedly <G 7561>, and have rebelled <G 4775>,

even by departing <G 5493> from thy precepts <G 4687> and from thy

judgments <G 4941>:


9:6 Neither <G 3808> have we hearkened <G 8085> unto thy servants

<G 5650> the prophets <G 5030>, which <G 0834> spake <G 1696> in thy name

<G 8034> to our kings <G 4428>, our princes <G 8269>, and our fathers

<G 1>, and to all <G 3605> the people <G 5971> of the land <G 0776>.


9:7 O Lord <G 0136>, righteousness <G 6666> [belongeth] unto thee,

but unto us confusion <G 1322> of faces <G 6440>, as at this <G 2088>

day <G 3117>; to the men <G 0376> of Judah <G 3063>, and to the

inhabitants <G 3427> of Jerusalem <G 3389>, and unto all <G 3605>

Israel <G 3478>, [that are] near <G 7138>, and [that are] far <G 7350>

off, through all <G 3605> the countries <G 0776> whither thou hast

driven <G 5080> them, because of their trespass <G 4604> that they

have trespassed <G 4603> against thee.


9:8 O Lord <G 0136>, to us [belongeth] confusion <G 1322> of face

<G 6440>, to our kings <G 4428>, to our princes <G 8269>, and to our

fathers <G 1>, because <G 0834> we have sinned <G 2398> against thee.


9:9 To the Lord <G 0136> our God <G 0430> [belong] mercies <G 7356> and

forgivenesses <G 5547>, though <G 3588> we have rebelled <G 4775>

against him;


9:10 Neither <G 3808> have we obeyed <G 8085> the voice <G 6963> of the

LORD <G 3068> our God <G 0430>, to walk <G 3212> in his laws <G 8451>,

which <G 0834> he set <G 5414> before <G 6440> us by his servants

<G 5650> the prophets <G 5030>.


9:11 Yea, all <G 3605> Israel <G 3478> have transgressed <G 5674> thy

law <G 8451>, even by departing <G 5493>, that they might not obey

<G 8085> thy voice <G 6963>; therefore the curse <G 0423> is poured

<G 5413> upon us, and the oath <G 7621> that [is] written <G 3789> in

the law <G 8451> of Moses <G 4872> the servant <G 5650> of God <G 0430>,

because <G 3588> we have sinned <G 2398> against him.


9:12 And he hath confirmed <G 6965> his words <G 1697>, which <G 0834>

he spake <G 1696> against <G 5921> us, and against <G 5921> our judges

<G 8199> that judged <G 8199> us, by bringing <G 0935> upon us a great

<G 1419> evil <G 7451>: for under <G 8478> the whole <G 3605> heaven

<G 8064> hath not been done as hath been done <G 6213> upon Jerusalem

<G 3389>.


9:13 As [it is] written <G 3789> in the law <G 8451> of Moses <G 4872>,

all <G 3605> this <G 2063> evil <G 7451> is come <G 0935> upon us: yet

made we not our prayer <G 2470> before the LORD <G 3068> our God

<G 0430>, that we might turn <G 7725> from our iniquities <G 5771>, and

understand <G 7919> thy truth <G 0571>.


9:14 Therefore hath the LORD <G 3068> watched <G 8245> upon the evil

<G 7451>, and brought <G 0935> it upon us: for the LORD <G 3068> our

God <G 0430> [is] righteous <G 6662> in all <G 3605> his works <G 4639>

which <G 0834> he doeth <G 6213>: for we obeyed <G 8085> not his voice

<G 6963>.


9:15 And now <G 6258>, O Lord <G 0136> our God <G 0430>, that hast

brought <G 3318> thy people <G 5971> forth <G 3318> out of the land

<G 0776> of Egypt <G 4714> with a mighty <G 2389> hand <G 3027>, and hast

gotten <G 6213> thee renown <G 8034>, as at this day <G 3117>; we have

sinned <G 2398>, we have done wickedly <G 7561>.


9:16 O Lord <G 0136>, according to all <G 3605> thy righteousness

<G 6666>, I beseech <G 4994> thee, let thine anger <G 0639> and thy

fury <G 2534> be turned <G 7725> away from thy city <G 5892> Jerusalem

<G 3389>, thy holy <G 6944> mountain <G 2022>: because <G 3588> for our

sins <G 2399>, and for the iniquities <G 5771> of our fathers <G 1>,

Jerusalem <G 3389> and thy people <G 5971> [are become] a reproach

<G 2781> to all <G 3605> [that are] about <G 5439> us.


9:17 Now <G 6258> therefore, O our God <G 0430>, hear <G 8085> the

prayer <G 8605> of thy servant <G 5650>, and his supplications

<G 8469>, and cause thy face <G 6440> to shine <G 0215> upon thy

sanctuary <G 4720> that is desolate <G 8074>, for the Lord's <G 0136>

sake <G 4616>.


9:18 O my God <G 0430>, incline <G 5186> thine ear <G 0241>, and hear

<G 8085>; open <G 6491> thine eyes <G 5869>, and behold <G 7200> our

desolations <G 8074>, and the city <G 5892> which <G 0834> is called

<G 7121> by thy name <G 8034>: for we do not present <G 5307> our

supplications <G 8469> before <G 6440> thee for our righteousnesses

<G 6666>, but for thy great <G 7227> mercies <G 7356>.


9:19 O Lord <G 0136>, hear <G 8085>; O Lord <G 0136>, forgive <G 5545>; O

Lord <G 0136>, hearken <G 7181> and do <G 6213>; defer <G 0309> not, for

thine own sake <G 4616>, O my God <G 0430>: for thy city <G 5892> and

thy people <G 5971> are called <G 7121> by thy name <G 8034>.


9:20. And whiles <G 5750> I [was] speaking <G 1696>, and praying

<G 6419>, and confessing <G 3034> my sin <G 2403> and the sin <G 2403> of

my people <G 5971> Israel <G 3478>, and presenting <G 5307> my

supplication <G 8467> before <G 6440> the LORD <G 3068> my God <G 0430>

for the holy <G 6944> mountain <G 2022> of my God <G 0430>;


9:21 Yea, whiles I [was] speaking <G 1696> in prayer <G 8605>, even

the man <G 0376> Gabriel <G 1403>, whom <G 0834> I had seen <G 7200> in

the vision <G 2377> at the beginning <G 8462>, being caused to fly

<G 3286> swiftly <G 3288>, touched <G 5060> me about the time <G 6256> of

the evening <G 6153> oblation <G 4503>.


9:22 And he informed <G 0995> [me], and talked <G 1696> with me, and

said <G 0559>, O Daniel <G 1840>, I am now <G 6258> come <G 3318> forth

<G 3318> to give thee skill <G 7919> and understanding <G 0998>.


9:23 At the beginning <G 8462> of thy supplications <G 8469> the

commandment <G 1697> came <G 3318> forth <G 3318>, and I am come <G 0935>

to shew <G 5046> [thee]; for thou [art] greatly beloved <G 2530>:

therefore understand <G 0995> the matter <G 1697>, and consider

<G 0995> the vision <G 2377>.


9:24 Seventy <G 7657> weeks <G 7620> are determined <G 2852> upon thy

people <G 5971> and upon thy holy <G 6944> city <G 5892>, to finish

<G 3607> the transgression <G 6588>, and to make an end <G 2856> of

sins <G 2403>, and to make reconciliation <G 3722> for iniquity

<G 5771>, and to bring <G 0935> in everlasting <G 5769> righteousness

<G 6664>, and to seal <G 2856> up the vision <G 2377> and prophecy

<G 5030>, and to anoint <G 4886> the most <G 6944> Holy <G 6944>.


9:25 Know <G 3045> therefore and understand <G 7919>, [that] from the

going <G 4161> forth <G 4161> of the commandment <G 1697> to restore

<G 7725> and to build <G 1129> Jerusalem <G 3389> unto the Messiah

<G 4899> the Prince <G 5057> [shall be] seven <G 7651> weeks <G 7620>,

and threescore <G 8346> and two <G 8147> weeks <G 7620>: the street

<G 7339> shall be built <G 1129> again <G 7725>, and the wall <G 2742>,

even in troublous <G 5916> times <G 6256>.


9:26 And after <G 0310> threescore <G 8346> and two <G 8147> weeks

<G 7620> shall Messiah <G 4899> be cut <G 3772> off, but not for

himself: and the people <G 5971> of the prince <G 5057> that shall

come <G 0935> shall destroy <G 7843> the city <G 5892> and the

sanctuary <G 6944>; and the end <G 7093> thereof [shall be] with a

flood <G 7858>, and unto the end <G 7093> of the war <G 4421>

desolations <G 8074> are determined <G 2782>.


9:27 And he shall confirm <G 1396> the covenant <G 1285> with many

<G 7227> for one <G 0259> week <G 7620>: and in the midst <G 2677> of the

week <G 7620> he shall cause the sacrifice <G 2077> and the oblation

<G 4503> to cease <G 7673>, and for the overspreading <G 3671> of

abominations <G 8251> he shall make [it] desolate <G 8074>, even

until <G 5704> the consummation <G 3617>, and that determined <G 2782>

shall be poured <G 5413> upon the desolate <G 8076>.


==== <DAN10>

Daniel 10


10:1. In the third <G 7969> year <G 8141> of Cyrus <G 3566> king <G 4428>

of Persia <G 6539> a thing <G 1697> was revealed <G 1540> unto Daniel

<G 1840>, whose <G 0834> name <G 8034> was called <G 7121> Belteshazzar

<G 1095>; and the thing <G 1697> [was] true <G 0571>, but the time

appointed <G 6635> [was] long <G 1419>: and he understood <G 0995> the

thing <G 1697>, and had understanding <G 0998> of the vision <G 4758>.


10:2 In those <G 1992> days <G 3117> I Daniel <G 1840> was mourning

<G 56> three <G 7969> full <G 3117> weeks <G 7620>.


10:3 I ate <G 0398> no <G 3808> pleasant <G 2530> bread <G 3899>, neither

<G 3808> came <G 0935> flesh <G 1320> nor <G 3808> wine <G 3196> in my

mouth <G 6310>, neither <G 3808> did I anoint <G 5480> myself at all,

till <G 5704> three <G 7969> whole <G 3117> weeks <G 7620> were fulfilled

<G 4390>.


10:4 And in the four <G 0702> and twentieth <G 6242> day <G 3117> of

the first <G 7223> month <G 2320>, as I was by the side <G 3027> of the

great <G 1419> river <G 5104>, which <G 1931> [is] Hiddekel <G 2313>;


10:5 Then I lifted <G 5375> up mine eyes <G 5869>, and looked <G 7200>,

and behold <G 2009> a certain <G 0259> man <G 0376> clothed <G 3847> in

linen <G 0906>, whose loins <G 4975> [were] girded <G 2296> with fine

gold <G 3800> of Uphaz <G 0210>:


10:6 His body <G 1472> also [was] like the beryl <G 8658>, and his

face <G 6440> as the appearance <G 4758> of lightning <G 1300>, and his

eyes <G 5869> as lamps <G 3940> of fire <G 0784>, and his arms <G 2220>

and his feet <G 4772> like in colour <G 5869> to polished <G 7044>

brass <G 5178>, and the voice <G 6963> of his words <G 1697> like the

voice <G 6963> of a multitude <G 1995>.


10:7 And I Daniel <G 1840> alone <G 0905> saw <G 7200> the vision

<G 4759>: for the men <G 0582> that were with me saw <G 7200> not the

vision <G 4759>; but a great <G 1419> quaking <G 2731> fell <G 5307> upon

them, so that they fled <G 1272> to hide <G 2244> themselves.


10:8 Therefore I was left <G 7604> alone <G 0905>, and saw <G 7200>

this great <G 1419> vision <G 4759>, and there remained <G 7604> no

<G 3808> strength <G 3581> in me: for my comeliness <G 1935> was turned

<G 2015> in me into corruption <G 4889>, and I retained <G 6113> no

<G 3808> strength <G 3581>.


10:9 Yet heard <G 8085> I the voice <G 6963> of his words <G 1697>: and

when I heard <G 8085> the voice <G 6963> of his words <G 1697>, then

was I in a deep <G 7290> sleep <G 7290> on my face <G 6440>, and my

face <G 6440> toward the ground <G 0776>.


10:10. And, behold <G 2009>, an hand <G 3027> touched <G 5060> me,

which set <G 5128> me upon my knees <G 1290> and [upon] the palms

<G 3709> of my hands <G 3027>.


10:11 And he said <G 0559> unto me, O Daniel <G 1840>, a man <G 0376>

greatly beloved <G 2530>, understand <G 0995> the words <G 1697> that I

speak <G 1696> unto thee, and stand <G 5975> upright <G 5977>: for unto

thee am I now <G 6258> sent <G 7971>. And when he had spoken <G 1696>

this <G 2088> word <G 1697> unto me, I stood <G 5975> trembling <G 7460>.


10:12 Then said <G 0559> he unto me, Fear <G 3372> not, Daniel

<G 1840>: for from the first <G 7223> day <G 3117> that thou didst set

<G 5414> thine heart <G 3820> to understand <G 0995>, and to chasten

<G 6031> thyself before <G 6440> thy God <G 0430>, thy words <G 1697>

were heard <G 8085>, and I am come <G 0935> for thy words <G 1697>.


10:13 But the prince <G 8269> of the kingdom <G 4438> of Persia

<G 6539> withstood <G 5975> me one <G 0259> and twenty <G 6242> days

<G 3117>: but, lo <G 2009>, Michael <G 4317>, one <G 0259> of the chief

<G 7223> princes <G 8269>, came <G 0935> to help <G 5826> me; and I

remained <G 3498> there <G 8033> with the kings <G 4428> of Persia

<G 6539>.


10:14 Now I am come <G 0935> to make thee understand <G 0995> what

shall befall <G 7136> thy people <G 5971> in the latter <G 0319> days

<G 3117>: for yet <G 5750> the vision <G 2377> [is] for [many] days

<G 3117>.


10:15 And when he had spoken <G 1696> such <G 0428> words <G 1697> unto

me, I set <G 5414> my face <G 6440> toward the ground <G 0776>, and I

became <G 0481> dumb <G 0481>.


10:16 And, behold <G 2009>, [one] like the similitude <G 1823> of the

sons <G 1121> of men <G 0120> touched <G 5060> my lips <G 8193>: then I

opened <G 6605> my mouth <G 6310>, and spake <G 1696>, and said <G 0559>

unto him that stood <G 5975> before <G 6440> me, O my lord <G 0113>, by

the vision <G 4758> my sorrows <G 6735> are turned <G 2015> upon me,

and I have retained <G 6113> no <G 3808> strength <G 3581>.


10:17 For how <G 1963> can <G 3201> the servant <G 5650> of this <G 2088>

my lord <G 0113> talk <G 1696> with this <G 2088> my lord <G 0113>? for

as for me, straightway <G 6258> there remained <G 5975> no <G 3808>

strength <G 3581> in me, neither <G 3808> is there breath <G 5397> left

<G 7604> in me.


10:18 Then there came again <G 3284> and touched <G 5060> me [one]

like the appearance <G 4758> of a man <G 0120>, and he strengthened

<G 2388> me,


10:19 And said <G 0559>, O man <G 0376> greatly beloved <G 2530>, fear

<G 3372> not: peace <G 7965> [be] unto thee, be strong <G 2388>, yea,

be strong <G 2388>. And when he had spoken <G 1696> unto me, I was

strengthened <G 2388>, and said <G 0559>, Let my lord <G 0113> speak

<G 1696>; for thou hast strengthened <G 2388> me.


10:20 Then said <G 0559> he, Knowest <G 3045> thou wherefore <G 4100> I

come <G 0935> unto thee? and now <G 6258> will I return <G 7725> to

fight <G 3898> with the prince <G 8269> of Persia <G 6539>: and when I

am gone <G 3318> forth <G 3318>, lo <G 2009>, the prince <G 8269> of

Grecia <G 3120> shall come <G 0935>.


10:21 But I will shew <G 5046> thee that which is noted <G 7559> in

the scripture <G 3791> of truth <G 0571>: and [there is] none <G 0369>

that holdeth <G 2388> with me in these <G 0428> things, but Michael

<G 4317> your prince <G 8269>.

11:1. Also I in the first <G 0259> year <G 8141> of Darius <G 1867> the

Mede <G 4075>, [even] I, stood <G 5975> to confirm <G 2388> and to

strengthen <G 4581> him.


11:2 And now <G 6258> will I shew <G 5046> thee the truth <G 0571>.

Behold <G 2009>, there shall stand <G 5975> up yet <G 5750> three

<G 7969> kings <G 4428> in Persia <G 6539>; and the fourth <G 7243> shall

be far <G 1419> richer <G 6238> than [they] all <G 3605>: and by his

strength <G 2394> through his riches <G 6239> he shall stir <G 5782> up

all <G 3605> against the realm <G 4438> of Grecia <G 3120>.


11:3 And a mighty <G 1368> king <G 4428> shall stand <G 5975> up, that

shall rule <G 4910> with great <G 7227> dominion <G 4474>, and do

<G 6213> according to his will <G 7522>.


11:4 And when he shall stand <G 5975> up, his kingdom <G 4438> shall

be broken <G 7665>, and shall be divided <G 2673> toward the four

<G 0702> winds <G 7307> of heaven <G 8064>; and not to his posterity

<G 0319>, nor <G 3808> according to his dominion <G 4915> which <G 0834>

he ruled <G 4910>: for his kingdom <G 4438> shall be plucked <G 5428>

up, even for others <G 0312> beside <G 0905> those <G 0428>.


11:5. And the king <G 4428> of the south <G 5045> shall be strong

<G 2388>, and [one] of his princes <G 8269>; and he shall be strong

<G 2388> above <G 5921> him, and have dominion <G 4910>; his dominion

<G 4474> [shall be] a great <G 7227> dominion <G 4474>.


11:6 And in the end <G 7093> of years <G 8141> they shall join <G 2266>

themselves together; for the king's <G 4428> daughter <G 1323> of the

south <G 5045> shall come <G 0935> to the king <G 4428> of the north

<G 6828> to make <G 6213> an agreement <G 4339>: but she shall not

retain <G 6113> the power <G 3581> of the arm <G 2220>; neither <G 3808>

shall he stand <G 5975>, nor his arm <G 2220>: but she shall be given

<G 5414> up, and they that brought <G 0935> her, and he that begat

<G 3205> her, and he that strengthened <G 2388> her in [these] times

<G 6256>.


11:7 But out of a branch <G 5342> of her roots <G 8328> shall [one]

stand <G 5975> up in his estate <G 3653>, which shall come <G 0935>

with an army <G 2428>, and shall enter <G 0935> into the fortress

<G 4581> of the king <G 4428> of the north <G 6828>, and shall deal

<G 6213> against them, and shall prevail <G 2388>:


11:8 And shall also <G 1571> carry <G 0935> captives <G 7628> into

Egypt <G 4714> their gods <G 0430>, with their princes <G 5257>, [and]

with their precious <G 2532> vessels <G 3627> of silver <G 3701> and of

gold <G 2091>; and he shall continue <G 5975> [more] years <G 8141>

than the king <G 4428> of the north <G 6828>.


11:9 So the king <G 4428> of the south <G 5045> shall come <G 0935>

into [his] kingdom <G 4438>, and shall return <G 7725> into <G 0413>

his own land <G 0127>.


11:10 But his sons <G 1121> shall be stirred <G 1624> up, and shall

assemble <G 0622> a multitude <G 1995> of great <G 7227> forces <G 2428>:

and [one] shall certainly come <G 0935>, and overflow <G 7857>, and

pass <G 5674> through: then shall he return <G 7725>, and be stirred

<G 1624> up, [even] to his fortress <G 4581>.


11:11 And the king <G 4428> of the south <G 5045> shall be moved with

choler <G 4843>, and shall come <G 3318> forth <G 3318> and fight

<G 3898> with him, [even] with the king <G 4428> of the north <G 6828>:

and he shall set <G 5975> forth <G 5975> a great <G 7227> multitude

<G 1995>; but the multitude <G 1995> shall be given <G 5414> into his

hand <G 3027>.


11:12 [And] when he hath taken <G 5375> away the multitude <G 1995>,

his heart <G 3824> shall be lifted <G 7311> up; and he shall cast

<G 5307> down <G 5307> [many] ten <G 7239> thousands <G 7239>: but he

shall not be strengthened <G 5810> [by it].


11:13 For the king <G 4428> of the north <G 6828> shall return

<G 7725>, and shall set <G 5975> forth a multitude <G 1995> greater

<G 7227> than <G 4480> the former <G 7223>, and shall certainly come

<G 0935> after <G 7093> certain <G 6256> years <G 8141> with a great

<G 1419> army <G 2428> and with much riches <G 7399>.


11:14 And in those <G 1992> times <G 6256> there shall many <G 7227>

stand <G 5975> up against <G 5921> the king <G 4428> of the south

<G 5045>: also the robbers <G 6530> of thy people <G 5971> shall exalt

<G 5375> themselves to establish <G 5975> the vision <G 2377>; but they

shall fall <G 3782>.


11:15 So the king <G 4428> of the north <G 6828> shall come <G 0935>,

and cast <G 8210> up a mount <G 5550>, and take <G 3920> the most

fenced <G 4013> cities <G 5892>: and the arms <G 2220> of the south

<G 5045> shall not withstand <G 5975>, neither <G 0369> his chosen

<G 4005> people <G 5971>, neither <G 0369> [shall there be any]

strength <G 3581> to withstand <G 5975>.


11:16 But he that cometh <G 0935> against <G 0413> him shall do

<G 6213> according to his own <G 7522> will <G 7522>, and none <G 0369>

shall stand <G 5975> before <G 6440> him: and he shall stand <G 5975>

in the glorious <G 6643> land <G 0776>, which by his hand <G 3027>

shall be consumed <G 3615>.


11:17 He shall also set <G 7760> his face <G 6440> to enter <G 0935>

with the strength <G 8633> of his whole <G 3605> kingdom <G 4438>, and

upright <G 3477> ones with him; thus shall he do <G 6213>: and he

shall give <G 5414> him the daughter <G 1323> of women <G 0802>,

corrupting <G 7843> her: but she shall not stand <G 5975> [on his

side], neither <G 3808> be for him.


11:18 After this shall he turn <G 7725> his face <G 6440> unto the

isles <G 0339>, and shall take <G 3920> many <G 7227>: but a prince

<G 7101> for his own behalf shall cause the reproach <G 2781> offered

by him to cease <G 7673>; without <G 1115> his own reproach <G 2781> he

shall cause [it] to turn <G 7725> upon him.


11:19 Then he shall turn <G 7725> his face <G 6440> toward the fort

<G 4581> of his own land <G 0776>: but he shall stumble <G 3782> and

fall <G 5307>, and not be found <G 4672>.


11:20 Then shall stand <G 5975> up in his estate <G 3653> a raiser

<G 5674> of taxes <G 5065> [in] the glory <G 1925> of the kingdom

<G 4438>: but within few <G 0259> days <G 3117> he shall be destroyed

<G 7665>, neither <G 3808> in anger <G 0639>, nor <G 3808> in battle

<G 4421>.


11:21. And in his estate <G 3653> shall stand <G 5975> up a vile

<G 0959> person, to whom <G 5921> they shall not give <G 5414> the

honour <G 1935> of the kingdom <G 4438>: but he shall come <G 0935> in

peaceably <G 7962>, and obtain <G 2388> the kingdom <G 4438> by

flatteries <G 2519>.


11:22 And with the arms <G 2220> of a flood <G 7858> shall they be

overflown <G 7857> from before <G 6440> him, and shall be broken

<G 7665>; yea <G 1571>, also <G 1571> the prince <G 5057> of the covenant

<G 1285>.


11:23 And after the league <G 2266> [made] with him he shall work

<G 6213> deceitfully <G 4820>: for he shall come <G 5927> up, and shall

become <G 6105> strong <G 6105> with a small <G 4592> people <G 1471>.


11:24 He shall enter <G 0935> peaceably <G 7962> even upon the

fattest <G 4924> places of the province <G 4082>; and he shall do

<G 6213> [that] which <G 0834> his fathers <G 1> have not done <G 6213>,

nor his fathers <G 1>' fathers <G 1>; he shall scatter <G 0967> among

them the prey <G 0961>, and spoil <G 7998>, and riches <G 7399>: [yea],

and he shall forecast <G 2803> his devices <G 4284> against <G 5921>

the strong <G 4013> holds <G 4013>, even for a time <G 6256>.


11:25 And he shall stir <G 5782> up his power <G 3581> and his

courage <G 3824> against <G 5921> the king <G 4428> of the south <G 5045>

with a great <G 1419> army <G 2428>; and the king <G 4428> of the south

<G 5045> shall be stirred <G 1624> up to battle <G 4421> with a very

great <G 1419> and mighty <G 6099> army <G 2428>; but he shall not

stand <G 5975>: for they shall forecast <G 2803> devices <G 4284>

against <G 5921> him.


11:26 Yea, they that feed <G 0398> of the portion <G 6598> of his

meat <G 6598> shall destroy <G 7665> him, and his army <G 2428> shall

overflow <G 7857>: and many <G 7227> shall fall <G 5307> down slain

<G 2491>.


11:27 And both <G 8147> these kings <G 4428>' hearts <G 3824> [shall

be] to do mischief <G 4827>, and they shall speak <G 1696> lies

<G 3576> at <G 5921> one <G 0259> table <G 7979>; but it shall not

prosper <G 6743>: for yet <G 5750> the end <G 7093> [shall be] at the

time appointed <G 4150>.


11:28 Then shall he return <G 7725> into his land <G 0776> with great

<G 1419> riches <G 7399>; and his heart <G 3824> [shall be] against

<G 5921> the holy <G 6944> covenant <G 1285>; and he shall do <G 6213>

[exploits], and return <G 7725> to his own land <G 0776>.


11:29 At the time appointed <G 4150> he shall return <G 7725>, and

come <G 0935> toward the south <G 5045>; but it shall not be as the

former <G 7223>, or as the latter <G 0314>.


11:30 For the ships <G 6716> of Chittim <G 3794> shall come <G 0935>

against him: therefore he shall be grieved <G 3512>, and return

<G 7725>, and have indignation <G 2194> against <G 5921> the holy

<G 6944> covenant <G 1285>: so shall he do <G 6213>; he shall even

return <G 7725>, and have intelligence <G 0995> with them that

forsake <G 5800> the holy <G 6944> covenant <G 1285>.


11:31 And arms <G 2220> shall stand <G 5975> on his part <G 2506>, and

they shall pollute <G 2490> the sanctuary <G 4720> of strength

<G 4581>, and shall take <G 5493> away <G 5493> the daily <G 8548>

[sacrifice], and they shall place <G 5414> the abomination <G 8251>

that maketh desolate <G 8074>.


11:32 And such as do wickedly <G 7561> against the covenant <G 1285>

shall he corrupt <G 2610> by flatteries <G 2514>: but the people

<G 5971> that do know <G 3045> their God <G 0430> shall be strong

<G 2388>, and do <G 6213> [exploits].


11:33 And they that understand <G 7919> among the people <G 5971>

shall instruct <G 0995> many <G 7227>: yet they shall fall <G 3782> by

the sword <G 2719>, and by flame <G 3852>, by captivity <G 7628>, and

by spoil <G 0961>, [many] days <G 3117>.


11:34 Now when they shall fall <G 3782>, they shall be holpen

<G 5826> with a little <G 4592> help <G 5828>: but many <G 7227> shall

cleave <G 3867> to them with flatteries <G 2519>.


11:35 And [some] of them of understanding <G 7919> shall fall

<G 3782>, to try <G 6884> them, and to purge <G 1305>, and to make

[them] white <G 3835>, [even] to the time <G 6256> of the end <G 7093>:

because [it is] yet <G 5750> for a time appointed <G 4150>.


11:36 And the king <G 4428> shall do <G 6213> according to his will

<G 7522>; and he shall exalt <G 7311> himself, and magnify <G 1431>

himself above <G 5921> every <G 3605> god <G 0410>, and shall speak

<G 1696> marvellous <G 6381> things against <G 5921> the God <G 0410> of

gods <G 0410>, and shall prosper <G 6743> till <G 5704> the indignation

<G 2195> be accomplished <G 3615>: for that that is determined <G 2782>

shall be done <G 6213>.


11:37 Neither <G 3808> shall he regard <G 0995> the God <G 0430> of his

fathers <G 1>, nor the desire <G 2532> of women <G 0802>, nor <G 3808>

regard <G 0995> any <G 3605> god <G 0433>: for he shall magnify <G 1431>

himself above <G 5921> all <G 3605>.


11:38 But in his estate <G 3653> shall he honour <G 3513> the God

<G 0433> of forces <G 4581>: and a god <G 0433> whom <G 0834> his fathers

<G 1> knew <G 3045> not shall he honour <G 3513> with gold <G 2091>, and

silver <G 3701>, and with precious <G 3368> stones <G 68>, and pleasant

<G 2530> things.


11:39 Thus shall he do <G 6213> in the most <G 4581> strong <G 4581>

holds <G 4013> with a strange <G 5236> god <G 0433>, whom <G 0834> he

shall acknowledge <G 5234> [and] increase <G 7235> with glory <G 3519>:

and he shall cause them to rule <G 4910> over many <G 7227>, and

shall divide <G 2505> the land <G 0127> for gain <G 4242>.


11:40 And at the time <G 6256> of the end <G 7093> shall the king

<G 4428> of the south <G 5045> push <G 5055> at him: and the king

<G 4428> of the north <G 6828> shall come <G 8175> against <G 5921> him

like a whirlwind <G 8175>, with chariots <G 7393>, and with horsemen

<G 6571>, and with many <G 7227> ships <G 0591>; and he shall enter

<G 0935> into the countries <G 0776>, and shall overflow <G 7857> and

pass <G 5674> over <G 5674>.


11:41 He shall enter <G 0935> also into the glorious <G 6643> land

<G 0776>, and many <G 7227> [countries] shall be overthrown <G 3782>:

but these <G 0428> shall escape <G 4422> out of his hand <G 3027>,

[even] Edom <G 0123>, and Moab <G 4124>, and the chief <G 7225> of the

children <G 1121> of Ammon <G 5983>.


11:42 He shall stretch <G 7971> forth his hand <G 3027> also upon the

countries <G 0776>: and the land <G 0776> of Egypt <G 4714> shall not

escape <G 6413>.


11:43 But he shall have power <G 4910> over the treasures <G 4362> of

gold <G 2091> and of silver <G 3701>, and over all <G 3605> the

precious <G 2530> things of Egypt <G 4714>: and the Libyans <G 3864>

and the Ethiopians <G 3569> [shall be] at his steps <G 4703>.


11:44 But tidings <G 8052> out of the east <G 4217> and out of the

north <G 6828> shall trouble <G 0926> him: therefore he shall go

<G 3318> forth <G 3318> with great <G 1419> fury <G 2534> to destroy

<G 8045>, and utterly to make away <G 2763> many <G 7227>.


11:45 And he shall plant <G 5193> the tabernacles <G 0168> of his

palace <G 0643> between <G 0996> the seas <G 3220> in the glorious

<G 6643> holy <G 6944> mountain <G 2022>; yet he shall come <G 0935> to

his end <G 7093>, and none <G 0369> shall help <G 5826> him.

12:1. And at that time <G 6256> shall Michael <G 4317> stand <G 5975>

up, the great <G 1419> prince <G 8269> which standeth <G 5975> for the

children <G 1121> of thy people <G 5971>: and there shall be a time

<G 6256> of trouble <G 6869>, such <G 0834> as never <G 3808> was since

there was a nation <G 1471> [even] to that same <G 1931> time <G 6256>:

12:2 And many <G 7227> of them that sleep <G 3463> in the dust <G 6083>

of the earth <G 0127> shall awake <G 6974>, some <G 0428> to

12:4 But thou, O Daniel <G 1840>, shut <G 5640> up the words <G 1697>,

and seal <G 2856> the book <G 5612>, [even] to the time <G 6256> of the

end <G 7093>: many <G 7227> shall run <G 7751> to and fro <G 7751>, and

knowledge <G 1847> shall be increased <G 7235>.


12:5. Then I Daniel <G 1840> looked <G 7200>, and, behold <G 2009>,

there stood <G 5975> other <G 0312> two <G 8147>, the one <G 0259> on

this <G 2008> side of the bank <G 8193> of the river <G 2975>, and the

other <G 0259> on that side of the bank <G 8193> of the river <G 2975>.


12:6 And [one] said <G 0559> to the man <G 0376> clothed <G 3847> in

linen <G 0906>, which <G 0834> [was] upon the waters <G 4325> of the

river <G 2975>, How <G 5704> long <G 5704> [shall it be to] the end

<G 7093> of these wonders <G 6382>?


12:7 And I heard <G 8085> the man <G 0376> clothed <G 3847> in linen

<G 0906>, which <G 0834> [was] upon the waters <G 4325> of the river

<G 2975>, when he held <G 7311> up his right <G 3225> hand <G 3225> and

his left <G 8040> hand <G 8040> unto heaven <G 8064>, and sware <G 7650>

by him that liveth <G 2416> for ever <G 5769> that [it shall be] for

a time <G 4150>, times <G 4150>, and an half <G 2677>; and when he

shall have accomplished <G 3615> to scatter <G 5310> the power <G 3027>

of the holy <G 6944> people <G 5971>, all <G 3605> these <G 0428>

[things] shall be finished <G 3615>.


12:8 And I heard <G 8085>, but I understood <G 0995> not: then said

<G 0559> I, O my Lord <G 0113>, what <G 4100> [shall be] the end <G 0319>

of these <G 0428> [things]?


12:9 And he said <G 0559>, Go <G 3212> thy way, Daniel <G 1840>: for

the words <G 1697> [are] closed <G 5640> up and sealed <G 2856> till

<G 5704> the time <G 6256> of the end <G 7093>.


12:10 Many <G 7227> shall be purified <G 1305>, and made white

<G 3835>, and tried <G 6884>; but the wicked <G 7563> shall do wickedly

<G 7561>: and none <G 3808> of the wicked <G 7563> shall understand

<G 0995>; but the wise <G 7919> shall understand <G 0995>.


12:11 And from the time <G 6256> [that] the daily <G 8548>

[sacrifice] shall be taken <G 5493> away <G 5493>, and the

abomination <G 8251> that maketh desolate <G 8074> set <G 5414> up,

[there shall be] a thousand <G 0505> two hundred <G 3967> and ninety

<G 8673> days <G 3117>.


12:12 Blessed <G 0835> [is] he that waiteth <G 2442>, and cometh

<G 5060> to the thousand <G 0505> three <G 7969> hundred <G 3967> and

five <G 2568> and thirty <G 7970> days <G 3117>.


12:13 But go <G 3212> thou thy way <G 1870> till the end <G 7093> [be]:

for thou shalt rest <G 5117>, and stand <G 5975> in thy lot <G 1486> at

the end <G 7093> of the days <G 3117>.
