Daniel 1


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

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

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

<3389>, and besieged <6696> it.


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

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

<3627> of the house <1004> of God <0430>: which he carried <0935>

into the land <0776> of Shinar <8152> to the house <1004> of his god

<0430>; and he brought <0935> the vessels <3627> into the treasure

<0214> house <1004> of his god <0430>.


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

<7227> of his eunuchs <5631>, that he should bring <0935> [certain]

of the children <1121> of Israel <3478>, and of the king's <4410>

seed <2233>, and of the princes <6579>;


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

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

<2451>, and cunning <3045> in knowledge <1847>, and understanding

<0995> science <4093>, and such as [had] ability <3581> in them to

stand <5975> in the king's <4428> palace <1964>, and whom they might

teach <3925> the learning <5612> and the tongue <3956> of the

Chaldeans <3779>.


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

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

<3196> which he drank <4960>: so nourishing <1431> them three <7969>

years <8141>, that at the end <7117> thereof they might stand <5975>

before <6440> the king <4428>.


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

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

<5838>:


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

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

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

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

<5838>, of Abednego <5664>.


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

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

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

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

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


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

<2617> and tender love with the prince <8269> of the eunuchs <5631>.


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

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

<0834> hath appointed <4487> your meat <3978> and your drink <4960>:

for why <4100> should he see <7200> your faces <6440> worse <2196>

liking than <4480> the children <3206> which <0834> [are] of your

sort <1524>? then shall ye make [me] endanger <2325> my head <7218>

to the king <4428>.


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

the prince <8269> of the eunuchs <5631> had set <4487> over <5921>

Daniel <1840>, Hananiah <2608>, Mishael <4332>, and Azariah <5838>,


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

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

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


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

<6440> thee, and the countenance <4758> of the children <3206> that

eat <0398> of the portion <6598> of the king's <4428> meat <6598>:

and as thou seest <7200>, deal <6213> with thy servants <5650>.


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

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


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

countenances <4758> appeared <7200> fairer <2896> and fatter <1277>

in flesh <1320> than <4480> all <3605> the children <3206> which did

eat <0398> the portion <6598> of the king's <4428> meat <6598>.


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

meat <6598>, and the wine <3196> that they should drink <4960>; and

gave <5414> them pulse <2235>.


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

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

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

understanding <0995> in all <3605> visions <2377> and dreams <2472>.


1:18 Now at the end <7117> of the days <3117> that the king <4428>

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

<8269> of the eunuchs <5631> brought <0935> them in before <6440>

Nebuchadnezzar <5019>.


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

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

<2608>, Mishael <4332>, and Azariah <5838>: therefore stood <5975>

they before <6440> the king <4428>.


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

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

he found <4672> them ten <6235> times better <3027> than <5921> all

<3605> the magicians <2748> [and] astrologers <0825> that [were] in

all <3605> his realm <4438>.


1:21 And Daniel <1840> continued <1961> [even] unto the first <0259>

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


Daniel 2


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

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

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

sleep <8142> brake <1961> from him.


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

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

<3784>, and the Chaldeans <3779>, for to shew <5046> the king <4428>

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

<6440> the king <4428>.


2:3 And the king <4428> said <0559> unto them, I have dreamed <2492>

a dream <2472>, and my spirit <7307> was troubled <6470> to know

<3045> the dream <2472>.


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

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

<0560> thy servants <5649> the dream <2493>, and we will shew <2324>

the interpretation <6591>.


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

<3779>, The thing <4406> is gone <0230> from me: if <2006> ye will

not make known <3046> unto me the dream <2493>, with the

interpretation <6591> thereof, ye shall be cut <5648> in pieces

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

<5122>.


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

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

<4978> and rewards <5023> and great <7690> honour <3367>: therefore

<2006> shew <2324> me the dream <2493>, and the interpretation

<6591> thereof.


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

<4430> tell <0560> his servants <5649> the dream <2493>, and we will

shew <2324> the interpretation <6591> of it.


2:8 The king <4430> answered <6032> and said <0560>, I know <3046>

of certainty <3330> that ye would gain <2084> the time <5732>,

because ye see <2370> the thing <4406> is gone <0230> from me.


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

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

prepared <2164> lying <3538> and corrupt <7844> words <4406> to

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

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

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

interpretation <6591> thereof.


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

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

<3007> that can <3202> shew <2324> the king's <4430> matter <4406>:

therefore [there is] no king <4430>, lord <7229>, nor ruler <7990>,

[that] asked <7593> such <1836> things at any <3606> magician

<2749>, or astrologer <0826>, or Chaldean <3777>.


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

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

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

<0426>, whose <1768> dwelling <4070> is not with flesh <1321>.


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

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

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


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

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

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


2:14. Then <0116> Daniel <1841> answered <8421> with counsel <5843>

and wisdom <2942> to Arioch <0746> the captain <7229> of the king's

<4430> guard <2877>, which <1768> was gone <5312> forth <5312> to

slay <6992> the wise <2445> [men] of Babylon <0895>:


2:15 He answered <6032> and said <0560> to Arioch <0746> the king's

<4430> captain <7990>, Why [is] the decree <1882> [so] hasty <2685>

from the king <4430>? Then <0116> Arioch <0746> made the thing

<4406> known <3046> to Daniel <1841>.


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

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

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


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

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

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


2:18 That they would desire <1156> mercies <7359> of the God <0426>

of heaven <8065> concerning <5922> this <1836> secret <7328>; that

Daniel <1841> and his fellows <2269> should not perish <7> with the

rest <7606> of the wise <2445> [men] of Babylon <0895>.


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

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

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


2:20 Daniel <1841> answered <6032> and said <0560>, Blessed <1289>

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

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


2:21 And he changeth <8133> the times <5732> and the seasons <2166>:

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

he giveth <3052> wisdom <2452> unto the wise <2445>, and knowledge

<0998> to them that know <3046> understanding <0999>:


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

he knoweth <3046> what <4101> [is] in the darkness <2816>, and the

light <5094> dwelleth <8271> with him.


2:23 I thank <3029> thee, and praise <7624> thee, O thou God <0426>

of my fathers <2>, who <1768> hast given <3052> me wisdom <2452> and

might <1370>, and hast made known <3046> unto me now <3705> what

<1768> we desired <1156> of thee: for thou hast [now <3705>] made

known <3046> unto us the king's <4430> matter <4406>.


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

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

wise <2445> [men] of Babylon <0895>: he went <0236> and said <0560>

thus <3652> unto him; Destroy <7> not the wise <2445> [men] of

Babylon <0895>: bring <5924> me in before <6925> the king <4430>,

and I will shew <2324> unto the king <4430> the interpretation

<6591>.


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

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

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

Judah <3061>, that will make known <3046> unto the king <4430> the

interpretation <6591>.


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

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

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

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

<6591> thereof?


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

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

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

astrologers <0826>, the magicians <2749>, the soothsayers <1505>,

shew <2324> unto the king <4430>;


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

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

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

<3118>. Thy dream <2493>, and the visions <2376> of thy head <7217>

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


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

[into thy mind] upon thy bed <4903>, what <4101> should come <1934>

to pass hereafter: and he that revealeth <1541> secrets <7328>

maketh known <3046> to thee what <4101> shall come <1934> to pass.


2:30 But as for me, this <1836> secret <7328> is not revealed <1541>

to me for [any] wisdom <2452> that I have <0383> more <4481> than

<4481> any <3606> living <2417>, but for [their] sakes <1701> that

shall make known <3046> the interpretation <6591> to the king

<4430>, and that thou mightest know <3046> the thoughts <7476> of

thy heart <3825>.


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

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

brightness <2122> [was] excellent <3493>, stood <6966> before <6903>

thee; and the form <7299> thereof [was] terrible <1763>.


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

gold <1722>, his breast <2306> and his arms <1672> of silver <3702>,

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


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

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


2:34 Thou sawest <2370> till <5704> that a stone <69> was cut <1505>

out without hands <3028>, which smote <4223> the image <6755> upon

his feet <7271> [that were] of iron <6523> and clay <2635>, and

brake <1855> them to pieces.


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

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

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

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

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

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

<1934> a great <7229> mountain <2906>, and filled <4391> the whole

<3606> earth <0772>.


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

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


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

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

<4437>, power <2632>, and strength <8632>, and glory <3367>.


2:38 And wheresoever the children <1123> of men <0606> dwell <1753>,

the beasts <2423> of the field <1251> and the fowls <5776> of the

heaven <8065> hath he given <3052> into thine hand <3028>, and hath

made thee ruler <7981> over them all <3606>. Thou [art] this <1931>

head <7217> of gold <1722>.


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

<4437> inferior <0772> to thee, and another <0317> third <8523>

kingdom <4437> of brass <5174>, which <1768> shall bear <7981> rule

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


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

iron <6523>: forasmuch as iron <6523> breaketh <1855> in pieces and

subdueth <2827> all <3606> [things]: and as iron <6523> that

breaketh <7940> all <3606> these <0459>, shall it break <1854> in

pieces and bruise <7490>.


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

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

of iron <6523>, the kingdom <4437> shall be divided <6386>; but

there shall be in it of the strength <5326> of the iron <6523>,

forasmuch as thou sawest <2370> the iron <6523> mixed <6151> with

miry <2917> clay <2635>.


2:42 And [as] the toes <0677> of the feet <7271> [were] part <4481>

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

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

broken <8406>.


2:43 And whereas <1768> thou sawest <2370> iron <6523> mixed <6151>

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

with the seed <2234> of men <0606>: but they shall not cleave <1693>

one <1836> to another <1836>, even <1887> as iron <6523> is not

mixed <6151> with clay <2635>.


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

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

<1768> shall never be destroyed <2255>: and the kingdom <4437> shall

not be left <7662> to other <0321> people <5972>, [but] it shall

break <1854> in pieces and consume <5487> all <3606> these <0459>

kingdoms <4437>, and it shall stand <6966> for ever <5957>.


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

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

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

<2635>, the silver <3702>, and the gold <1722>; the great <7229> God

<0426> hath made known <3046> to the king <4430> what <4101> shall

come <1934> to pass hereafter: and the dream <2493> [is] certain

<3330>, and the interpretation <6591> thereof sure <0546>.


2:46. Then <0116> the king <4430> Nebuchadnezzar <5020> fell <5308>

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

commanded <0560> that they should offer <5260> an oblation <8641>

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


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

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

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

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

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


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

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

<4978>, and made him ruler <7981> over <5922> the whole <3606>

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

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

<0895>.


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

set <4483> Shadrach <7715>, Meshach <4336>, and Abednego <5665>,

over <5922> the affairs <5673> of the province <4083> of Babylon

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

<4430>.


Daniel 3


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

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

<8361> cubits <0521>, [and] the breadth <6613> thereof six <8353>

cubits <0521>: he set <6966> it up in the plain <1236> of Dura

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


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

<3673> together the princes <0324>, the governors <5461>, and the

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

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

<7984> of the provinces <4082>, to come <0858> to the dedication

<2597> of the image <6755> which <1768> Nebuchadnezzar <5020> the

king <4430> had set <6966> up.


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

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

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

<7984> of the provinces <4082>, were gathered <3673> together unto

the dedication <2597> of the image <6755> that Nebuchadnezzar <5020>

the king <4430> had set <6966> up; and they stood <6966> before

<6903> the image <6755> that Nebuchadnezzar <5020> had set <6966>

up.


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

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

<3961>,


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

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

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

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

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

<4430> hath set <6966> up:


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

the same hour <8160> be cast <7412> into the midst <1459> of a

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


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

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

<4953>, harp <7030>, sackbut <5443>, psaltery <6460>, and all <3606>

kinds <2177> of musick <2170>, all <3606> the people <5972>, the

nations <0524>, and the languages <3961>, fell <5308> down [and]

worshipped <5457> the golden <1722> image <6755> that Nebuchadnezzar

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


3:8. Wherefore at that time <2166> certain <1400> Chaldeans <3779>

came <7127> near <7127>, and accused <7170> the Jews <3064>.


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

Nebuchadnezzar <5020>, O king <4430>, live <2418> for ever <5957>.


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

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

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

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

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

<1722> image <6755>:


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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

<6966> up.


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

<2528> commanded <0560> to bring <0858> Shadrach <7715>, Meshach

<4336>, and Abednego <5665>. Then <0116> they brought <0858> these

<0479> men <1400> before <6925> the king <4430>.


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

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

<5665>, do not ye serve <6399> my gods <0426>, nor <3809> worship

<5457> the golden <1722> image <6755> which <1768> I have set <6966>

up?


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

burning <3345> fiery <5135> furnace <0861>; and who <4479> [is] that

God <0426> that shall deliver <7804> you out of my hands <3028>?


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

<6032> and said <0560> to the king <4430>, O Nebuchadnezzar <5020>,

we [are] not careful <2818> to answer <8421> thee in this <1836>

matter <6600>.


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

<6399> is able <3202> to deliver <7804> us from the burning <3345>

fiery <5135> furnace <0861>, and he will deliver <7804> [us] out of

thine hand <3028>, O king <4430>.


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

we will not serve <6399> thy gods <0426>, nor <3809> worship <5457>

the golden <1722> image <6755> which <1768> thou hast set <6966> up.


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

<2528>, and the form <6755> of his visage <0600> was changed <8133>

against <5922> Shadrach <7715>, Meshach <4336>, and Abednego <5665>:

[therefore] he spake <6032>, and commanded <0560> that they should

heat <0228> the furnace <0861> one <2298> seven <7655> times more

<5922> than <1768> it was wont <2370> to be heated <0228>.


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

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

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

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


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

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

[other] garments <3831>, and were cast <7412> into the midst <1459>

of the burning <3345> fiery <5135> furnace <0861>.


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

urgent <2685>, and the furnace <0861> exceeding <2493> hot <0228>,

the flame <7631> of the fire <5135> slew <6992> those <0479> men

<1400> that took <5267> up Shadrach <7715>, Meshach <4336>, and

Abednego <5665>.


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

Meshach <4336>, and Abednego <5665>, fell <5308> down bound <3729>

into the midst <1459> of the burning <3345> fiery <5135> furnace

<0861>.


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

<8429>, and rose <6965> up in haste <0927>, [and] spake <6032>, and

said <0560> unto his counsellors <1907>, Did not we cast <7412>

three <8532> men <1400> bound <3729> into the midst <1459> of the

fire <5135>? They answered <6032> and said <0560> unto the king

<4430>, True <3330>, O king <4430>.


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

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

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

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

Son <1247> of God <0426>.


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

the mouth <8651> of the burning <3345> fiery <5135> furnace <0861>,

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

<4336>, and Abednego <5665>, ye servants <5649> of the most <5943>

high <5943> God <0426>, come <5312> forth <5312>, and come <0858>

[hither]. Then <0116> Shadrach <7715>, Meshach <4336>, and Abednego

<5665>, came <5312> forth <5312> of the midst <1459> of the fire

<5135>.


3:27 And the princes <0324>, governors <5461>, and captains <6347>,

and the king's <4430> counsellors <1907>, being gathered <3673>

together, saw <2370> these <0479> men <1400>, upon whose <1768>

bodies <1655> the fire <5135> had no <3809> power <7981>, nor <3809>

was an hair <8177> of their head <7217> singed <2761>, neither

<3809> were their coats <5622> changed <8133>, nor <3809> the smell

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


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

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

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

<4398>, and delivered <7804> his servants <5649> that trusted <7365>

in him, and have changed <8133> the king's <4430> word <4406>, and

yielded <3052> their bodies <1655>, that they might not serve <6399>

nor <3809> worship <5457> any <3606> god <0426>, except <3861> their

own God <0426>.


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

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

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

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

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

<7739> a dunghill <5122>: because there is no <3809> other <0321>

God <0426> that can <3202> deliver <5338> after <1863> this <1836>

sort.


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

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

Babylon <0895>.


Daniel 4


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

<5972>, nations <0524>, and languages <3961>, that dwell <1753> in

all <3606> the earth <0772>; Peace <8001> be multiplied <7680> unto

you.


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

wonders <8540> that the high <5943> God <0426> hath wrought <5648>

toward <5974> me.


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

mighty <8624> [are] his wonders <8540>! his kingdom <4437> [is] an

everlasting <5957> kingdom <4437>, and his dominion <7985> [is] from

generation <1859> to generation <1859>.


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

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


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

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

<7217> troubled <0927> me.


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

<3606> the wise <2445> [men] of Babylon <0895> before <6925> me,

that they might make known <3046> unto me the interpretation <6591>

of the dream <2493>.


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

<0826>, the Chaldeans <3779>, and the soothsayers <1505>: and I told

<0560> the dream <2493> before <6925> them; but they did not make

known <3046> unto me the interpretation <6591> thereof.


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

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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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


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

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

<1459> of the earth <0772>, and the height <7314> thereof [was]

great <7690>.


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

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

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

<0772>:


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

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

beasts <2423> of the field <1251> had shadow <2927> under <8460> it,

and the fowls <6853> of the heaven <8065> dwelt <1753> in the boughs

<6056> thereof, and all <3606> flesh <1321> was fed <2110> of it.


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

bed <4903>, and, behold <0431>, a watcher <5894> and an holy <6922>

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


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

<1414> down the tree <0363>, and cut <7113> off his branches <6056>,

shake <5426> off <0575> his leaves <6074>, and scatter <0921> his

fruit <4>: let the beasts <2423> get <5111> away <5111> from under

<8478> it, and the fowls <6853> from his branches <6056>:


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

<8330> in the earth <0772>, even with a band <0613> of iron <6523>

and brass <5174>, in the tender grass <1883> of the field <1251>;

and let it be wet <6647> with the dew <2920> of heaven <8065>, and

[let] his portion <2508> [be] with the beasts <2423> in the grass

<6211> of the earth <0772>:


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

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

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


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

<5894>, and the demand <7595> by the word <3983> of the holy <6922>

ones: to the intent <1701> that the living <2417> may know <3046>

that the most <5943> High <5943> ruleth <7980> in the kingdom <4437>

of men <0606>, and giveth <5415> it to whomsoever <4479> he will

<6634>, and setteth <6966> up over <5922> it the basest <8215> of

men <0606>.


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

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

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

<2445> [men] of my kingdom <4437> are not able <3202> to make known

<3046> unto me the interpretation <6591>: but thou [art] able

<3546>; for the spirit <7308> of the holy <6922> gods <0426> [is] in

thee.


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

Belteshazzar <1096>, was astonied <8075> for one <2298> hour <8160>,

and his thoughts <7476> troubled <0927> him. The king <4430> spake

<6032>, and said <0560>, Belteshazzar <1096>, let not the dream

<2493>, or the interpretation <6591> thereof, trouble <0927> thee.

Belteshazzar <1096> answered <6032> and said <0560>, My lord <4756>,

the dream <2493> [be] to them that hate <8131> thee, and the

interpretation <6591> thereof to thine enemies <6146>.


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

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

unto the heaven <8065>, and the sight <2379> thereof to all <3606>

the earth <0772>;


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

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

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

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

heaven <8065> had their habitation <7932>:


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

<8631> strong <8631>: for thy greatness <7238> is grown <7236>, and

reacheth <4291> unto heaven <8065>, and thy dominion <7985> to the

end <5491> of the earth <0772>.


4:23 And whereas <1768> the king <4430> saw <2370> a watcher <5894>

and an holy <6922> one coming <5182> down <5182> from heaven <8065>,

and saying <0560>, Hew <1414> the tree <0363> down, and destroy

<2255> it; yet <1297> leave <7662> the stump <6136> of the roots

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

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

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

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

the field <1251>, till <5704> seven <7655> times <5732> pass <2499>

over <5922> him;


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

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

which <1768> is come <4291> upon my lord <4756> the king <4430>:


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

dwelling <4070> shall be with the beasts <2423> of the field <1251>,

and they shall make thee to eat <2939> grass <6211> as oxen <8450>,

and they shall wet <6647> thee with the dew <2920> of heaven <8065>,

and seven <7655> times <5732> shall pass <2499> over <5922> thee,

till <5704> thou know <3046> that the most <5943> High ruleth <7980>

in the kingdom <4437> of men <0606>, and giveth <5415> it to

whomsoever <4479> he will <6634>.


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

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

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

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


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

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

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

<2604> to the poor <6033>; if <2006> it may be a lengthening <0754>

of thy tranquillity <7963>.


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

Nebuchadnezzar <5020>.


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

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


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

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

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

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


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

<6433>, there fell <5308> a voice <7032> from heaven <8065>,

[saying], O king <4430> Nebuchadnezzar <5020>, to thee it is spoken

<0560>; The kingdom <4437> is departed <5709> from thee.


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

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

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

<8450>, and seven <7655> times <5732> shall pass <2499> over <5922>

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

ruleth <7980> in the kingdom <4437> of men <0606>, and giveth <5415>

it to whomsoever <4479> he will <6634>.


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

Nebuchadnezzar <5020>: and he was driven <2957> from men <0606>, and

did eat <0399> grass <6211> as oxen <8450>, and his body <1655> was

wet <6647> with the dew <2920> of heaven <8065>, till <5704> his

hairs <8177> were grown <7236> like eagles <5403>' [feathers], and

his nails <2953> like birds <6853>' [claws].


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

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

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

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

honoured <1922> him that liveth <2416> for ever <5957>, whose <1768>

dominion <7985> [is] an everlasting <5957> dominion <7985>, and his

kingdom <4437> [is] from generation <1859> to generation <1859>:


4:35 And all <3606> the inhabitants <1753> of the earth <0772> [are]

reputed <2804> as nothing <3809>: and he doeth <5648> according to

his will <6634> in the army <2429> of heaven <8065>, and [among] the

inhabitants <1753> of the earth <0772>: and none <3809> can stay

<4223> his hand <3028>, or say <0560> unto him, What <4101> doest

<5648> thou?


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

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

<1923> and brightness <2122> returned <7725> unto me; and my

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

was established <8627> in my kingdom <4437>, and excellent <3493>

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


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

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

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

judgment <1780>: and those <1768> that walk <1980> in pride <1466>

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


Daniel 5


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

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

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


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

commanded <0560> to bring <0858> the golden <1722> and silver <3702>

vessels <3984> which <1768> his father <2> Nebuchadnezzar <5020> had

taken <5312> out of the temple <1965> which <1768> [was] in

Jerusalem <3390>; that the king <4430>, and his princes <7261>, his

wives <7695>, and his concubines <3904>, might drink <8355> therein.


5:3 Then <0116> they brought <0858> the golden <1722> vessels <3984>

that were taken <5312> out of the temple <1965> of the house <1005>

of God <0426> which <1768> [was] at Jerusalem <3390>; and the king

<4430>, and his princes <7261>, his wives <7695>, and his concubines

<3904>, drank <8355> in them.


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

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

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


5:5 In the same hour <8160> came <5312> forth <5312> fingers <0677>

of a man's <0606> hand <3028>, and wrote <3790> over <6903> against

<6903> the candlestick <5043> upon the plaister <1528> of the wall

<3797> of the king's <4430> palace <1965>: and the king <4430> saw

<2370> the part <6447> of the hand <3028> that wrote <3790>.


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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

<0711>, and [have] a chain <2002> of gold <1722> about <5922> his

neck <6676>, and shall be the third <8523> ruler <7981> in the

kingdom <4437>.


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

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

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

<6591> thereof.


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

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

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


5:10. [Now] the queen <4433>, by reason <6903> of the words <4406>

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

banquet <4961> house <1005>: [and] the queen <4433> spake <6032> and

said <0560>, O king <4430>, live <2414> for ever <5957>: let not thy

thoughts <7476> trouble <0927> thee, nor <0408> let thy countenance

<2122> be changed <8133>:


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

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

days <3118> of thy father <2> light <5094> and understanding <7924>

and wisdom <2452>, like the wisdom <2452> of the gods <0426>, was

found <7912> in him; whom the king <4430> Nebuchadnezzar <5020> thy

father <2>, the king <4430>, [I say], thy father <2>, made master

<0729> of the magicians <2749>, astrologers <0826>, Chaldeans

<3779>, [and] soothsayers <1505>;


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

<0998>, and understanding <7924>, interpreting <6591> of dreams

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

dissolving <8271> of doubts <7001>, were found <7912> in the same

Daniel <1841>, whom <1768> the king <4430> named <8036> Belteshazzar

<1096>: now <3705> let Daniel <1841> be called <7123>, and he will

shew <5046> the interpretation <6591>.


5:13 Then <0116> was Daniel <1841> brought <5954> in before <6925>

the king <4430>. [And] the king <4430> spake <6032> and said <0560>

unto Daniel <1841>, [Art] thou that Daniel <1841>, which <1768>

[art] of the children <1123> of the captivity <1547> of Judah

<3061>, whom <1768> the king <4430> my father <2> brought <0858> out

of Jewry <3061>?


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

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

<7924> and excellent <3493> wisdom <2452> is found <7912> in thee.


5:15 And now <3705> the wise <2445> [men], the astrologers <0826>,

have been brought <5954> in before <6925> me, that they should read

<7123> this <1836> writing <3792>, and make known <3046> unto me the

interpretation <6591> thereof: but they could <5346> not shew <2324>

the interpretation <6591> of the thing <4406>:


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

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

<3705> if <2006> thou canst <3202> read <7123> the writing <3792>,

and make known <3046> to me the interpretation <6591> thereof, thou

shalt be clothed <3848> with scarlet <0711>, and [have] a chain

<2002> of gold <1722> about <5922> thy neck <6676>, and shalt be the

third <8531> ruler <7981> in the kingdom <4437>.


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

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

and give <3052> thy rewards <5023> to another <0321>; yet <1297> I

will read <7123> the writing <3792> unto the king <4430>, and make

known <3046> to him the interpretation <6591>.


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

<3052> Nebuchadnezzar <5020> thy father <2> a kingdom <4437>, and

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


5:19 And for the majesty <7238> that he gave <3052> him, all <3606>

people <5972>, nations <0524>, and languages <3961>, trembled <2112>

and feared <1763> before him: whom <1768> he would <6634> he slew

<6992>; and whom <1768> he would <6634> he kept alive <2418>; and

whom <1768> he would <6634> he set <7313> up; and whom he would

<6634> he put <8214> down <8214>.


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

mind <7307> hardened <8631> in pride <2103>, he was deposed <5182>

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

<3367> from him:


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

and his heart <3825> was made <7737> like <5974> the beasts <2423>,

and his dwelling <4070> [was] with the wild <6167> asses <6167>:

they fed <2939> him with grass <6211> like oxen <8450>, and his body

<1655> was wet <6647> with the dew <2920> of heaven <8065>; till

<5704> he knew <3046> that the most <5943> high <5943> God <0426>

ruled <7990> in the kingdom <4437> of men <0606>, and [that] he

appointeth <6966> over <5922> it whomsoever he will <6634>.


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

<8214> thine heart <3825>, though thou knewest <3046> all <3606>

this <1836>;


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

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

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

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

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

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

<6523>, wood <0636>, and stone <69>, which <1768> see <2370> not,

nor <3809> hear <8086>, nor <3809> know <3046>: and the God <0426>

in whose <1768> hand <3028> thy breath <5396> [is], and whose [are]

all <3606> thy ways <0735>, hast thou not glorified <1922>:


5:24 Then <0116> was the part <6447> of the hand <3028> sent <7972>

from him; and this <1836> writing <3792> was written <7560>.


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

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


5:26 This <1836> [is] the interpretation <6591> of the thing <4406>:

MENE <4484>; God <0426> hath numbered <4483> thy kingdom <4437>, and

finished <8000> it.


5:27 TEKEL <8625>; Thou art weighed <8625> in the balances <3976>,

and art found <7912> wanting <2627>.


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

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


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

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

<2002> of gold <1722> about <5922> his neck <6676>, and made a

proclamation <3745> concerning <5922> him, that he should be the

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


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

the Chaldeans <3779> slain <6992>.


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

<4437>, [being] about threescore <8361> and two <8648> years <8140>

old <1247>.


Daniel 6


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

kingdom <4437> an hundred <3969> and twenty <6243> princes <0324>,

which <1768> should be over the whole <3606> kingdom <4437>;


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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

<4437>.


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

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

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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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


6:6. Then <0116> these <0459> presidents <5632> and princes <0324>

assembled <7284> together to the king <4430>, and said <0560> thus

<3652> unto him, King <4430> Darius <1868>, live <2414> for ever

<5757>.


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

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

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

<6966> a royal <4430> statute <7010>, and to make a firm <8631>

decree <0633>, that whosoever <3605> shall ask <1156> a petition

<1159> of any <3606> God <0426> or man <0606> for thirty <8533> days

<3118>, save <3861> of thee, O king <4430>, he shall be cast <7412>

into the den <1358> of lions <0744>.


6:8 Now <3705>, O king <4430>, establish <6966> the decree <0633>,

and sign <7560> the writing <3792>, that it be not changed <8133>,

according to the law <1882> of the Medes <4076> and Persians <6540>,

which <1768> altereth <5709> not.


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

<3792> and the decree <0633>.


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

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

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

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

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

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

did <5648> aforetime.


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

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

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


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

before <6925> the king <4430> concerning <5922> the king's <4430>

decree <0633>; Hast thou not signed <7560> a decree <0633>, that

every <3606> man <0606> that shall ask <1156> [a petition] of any

<3606> God <0426> or man <0606> within <5705> thirty <8533> days

<3118>, save <3861> of thee, O king <4430>, shall be cast <7412>

into the den <1358> of lions <0744>? The king <4430> answered <6032>

and said <0560>, The thing <4406> [is] true <3330>, according to the

law <1882> of the Medes <4076> and Persians <6540>, which <1768>

altereth <5709> not.


6:13 Then <0116> answered <6032> they and said <0560> before <6925>

the king <4430>, That Daniel <1841>, which <1768> [is] of the

children <1123> of the captivity <1547> of Judah <3061>, regardeth

not thee, O king <4430>, nor the decree <0633> that thou hast signed

<7560>, but maketh his petition <1159> three <8532> times <2166> a

day <3118>.


6:14 Then <0116> the king <4430>, when <1768> he heard <8086>

[these] words <4406>, was sore <7690> displeased <0888> with

himself, and set <7761> [his] heart <1079> on <5922> Daniel <1841>

to deliver <7804> him: and he laboured <7712> till <5704> the going

<4606> down <4606> of the sun <8122> to deliver <5338> him.


6:15 Then <0116> these <0479> men <1400> assembled <7284> unto the

king <4430>, and said <0560> unto the king <4430>, Know <3046>, O

king <4430>, that the law <1882> of the Medes <4076> and Persians

<6540> [is], That no decree <0633> nor statute <7010> which <1768>

the king <4430> establisheth <6966> may be changed <8133>.


6:16 Then <0116> the king <4430> commanded <0560>, and they brought

<0858> Daniel <1841>, and cast <7412> [him] into the den <1358> of

lions <0744>. [Now <0116>] the king <4430> spake <6032> and said

<0560> unto Daniel <1841>, Thy God <0426> whom <1768> thou servest

<6399> continually <8411>, he will deliver <7804> thee.


6:17 And a stone <69> was brought <0858>, and laid <7760> upon the

mouth <6433> of the den <1358>; and the king <4430> sealed <2857> it

with his own signet <5824>, and with the signet <5824> of his lords

<7261>; that the purpose <6640> might not be changed <8133>

concerning Daniel <1841>.


6:18. Then <0116> the king <4430> went <0236> to his palace <1965>,

and passed the night <0956> fasting <2908>: neither <3809> were

instruments <1761> of musick brought <5954> before <6925> him: and

his sleep <8139> went <5075> from him.


6:19 Then <0116> the king <4430> arose <6966> very early <8238> in

the morning <5053>, and went <0236> in haste <0927> unto the den

<1358> of lions <0744>.


6:20 And when he came <7127> to the den <1358>, he cried <2200> with

a lamentable <6088> voice <7032> unto Daniel <1841>: [and] the king

<4430> spake <6032> and said <0560> to Daniel <1841>, O Daniel

<1841>, servant <5649> of the living <2417> God <0426>, is thy God

<0426>, whom <1768> thou servest <6399> continually <8411>, able

<3202> to deliver <7804> thee from the lions <0744>?


6:21 Then <0116> said <4449> Daniel <1841> unto the king <4430>, O

king <4430>, live <2414> for ever <5957>.


6:22 My God <0426> hath sent <7972> his angel <4398>, and hath shut

<5463> the lions <0744>' mouths <6433>, that they have not hurt

<2255> me: forasmuch as before <6925> him innocency <2136> was found

<7912> in me; and also <0638> before <6925> thee, O king <4430>,

have I done <5648> no <3809> hurt <2248>.


6:23 Then <0116> was the king <4430> exceeding <7689> glad <2868>

for him, and commanded <0560> that they should take <5267> Daniel

<1841> up out of the den <1358>. So Daniel <1841> was taken <5267>

up out of the den <1358>, and no manner of hurt <2257> was found

<7912> upon him, because <1768> he believed <0540> in his God

<0426>.


6:24 And the king <4430> commanded <0560>, and they brought <0858>

those <0479> men <1400> which <1768> had accused <7170> Daniel

<1841>, and they cast <7412> [them] into the den <1358> of lions

<0744>, them, their children <1123>, and their wives <5389>; and the

lions <0744> had the mastery <6981> of them, and brake <1855> all

<3606> their bones <1635> in pieces or ever <3809> they came <4291>

at the bottom <0773> of the den <1358>.


6:25. Then <0116> king <4430> Darius <1868> wrote <3790> unto all

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

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

multiplied <7680> unto you.


6:26 I make <7761> a decree <2942>, That in every <3606> dominion

<7985> of my kingdom <4437> men tremble <2112> and fear <1763>

before the God <0426> of Daniel <1841>: for he [is] the living

<2417> God <0426>, and stedfast <7011> for ever <5957>, and his

kingdom <4437> [that] which <1768> shall not be destroyed <2255>,

and his dominion <7985> [shall be even] unto the end <5491>.


6:27 He delivereth <7804> and rescueth <5338>, and he worketh <5648>

signs <0852> and wonders <8540> in heaven <8065> and in earth

<0772>, who <1768> hath delivered <7804> Daniel <1841> from the

power <3028> of the lions <0744>.


6:28 So this <1836> Daniel <1841> prospered <6744> in the reign

<4437> of Darius <1868>, and in the reign <4437> of Cyrus <3567> the

Persian <6523>.


Daniel 7


7:1. In the first <2298> year <8140> of Belshazzar <1113> king

<4430> of Babylon <0895> Daniel <1841> had <2370> a dream <2493> and

visions <2376> of his head <7217> upon his bed <4903>: then <0116>

he wrote <3790> the dream <2493>, [and] told <0560> the sum <7217>

of the matters <4406>.


7:2 Daniel <1841> spake <6032> and said <0560>, I saw <2370> in my

vision <2376> by night <3916>, and, behold <0718>, the four <0703>

winds <7308> of the heaven <8065> strove <1519> upon the great

<7227> sea <3221>.


7:3 And four <0703> great <7260> beasts <2423> came <5559> up from

the sea <3221>, diverse <8133> one <1668> from another <1668>.


7:4 The first <6933> [was] like a lion <0738>, and had eagle's

<5403> wings <1611>: I beheld till <5704> the wings <1611> thereof

were plucked <4804>, and it was lifted <5191> up from the earth

<0772>, and made stand <6966> upon the feet <7271> as a man <0606>,

and a man's <0606> heart <3825> was given <3052> to it.


7:5 And behold <0718> another <0317> beast <2423>, a second <8578>,

like <1821> to a bear <1678>, and it raised <6966> up itself on one

<2298> side <7859>, and [it had] three <8532> ribs <6763> in the

mouth <6433> of it between <0997> the teeth <8128> of it: and they

said <0560> thus <3652> unto it, Arise <6965>, devour <0399> much

<7690> flesh <1321>.


7:6 After <0870> this <1836> I beheld, and lo <0718> another <0317>,

like a leopard <5245>, which <1768> had upon the back <1355> of it

four <0703> wings <1611> of a fowl <5776>; the beast <2423> had also

four <0703> heads <7217>; and dominion <7985> was given <3052> to

it.


7:7 After <0870> this <1836> I saw <2370> in the night <3916>

visions <2376>, and behold <0718> a fourth <7244> beast <2423>,

dreadful <1763> and terrible <0574>, and strong <8624> exceedingly

<3493>; and it had great <7260> iron <6523> teeth <8128>: it

devoured <0399> and brake <1855> in pieces, and stamped <7512> the

residue <7606> with the feet <7271> of it: and it [was] diverse

<8133> from all <3606> the beasts <2423> that [were] before <6925>

it; and it had ten <6236> horns <7162>.


7:8 I considered <7920> the horns <7162>, and, behold <0431>, there

came <5559> up among <0997> them another <0317> little <2192> horn

<7162>, before <6925> whom there were three <8532> of the first

<6933> horns <7162> plucked <6132> up by the roots <6132>: and,

behold <0431>, in this <1668> horn <7162> [were] eyes <5870> like

the eyes <5870> of man <0606>, and a mouth <6433> speaking <4449>

great <7260> things.


7:9. I beheld till <5704> the thrones <3764> were cast <7412> down,

and the Ancient <6268> of days <3118> did sit <3488>, whose garment

<3831> [was] white as snow <8517>, and the hair <8177> of his head

<7217> like the pure <5343> wool <6015>: his throne <3764> [was

like] the fiery <5135> flame <7631>, [and] his wheels <1535> [as]

burning <1815> fire <5135>.


7:10 A fiery <5135> stream <5103> issued <5047> and came <5312>

forth <5312> from before <6925> him: thousand <0506> thousands

<0506> ministered <8120> unto him, and ten <7240> thousand <7240>

times ten <7240> thousand <7240> stood <6966> before <6925> him: the

judgment <1780> was set <3488>, and the books <5609> were opened

<6606>.


7:11 I beheld then <0116> because <4481> of the voice <7032> of the

great <7260> words <4406> which <1768> the horn <7162> spake <4449>:

I beheld [even <5705>] till <5704> the beast <2423> was slain

<6992>, and his body <1655> destroyed <7>, and given <3052> to the

burning <3346> flame <0785>.


7:12 As concerning the rest <7606> of the beasts <2423>, they had

their dominion <7985> taken <5709> away <5709>: yet their lives

<2417> were prolonged for a season <2166> and time <5732>.


7:13 I saw <2370> in the night <6916> visions <2376>, and, behold

<0718>, [one] like the Son <1247> of man <0606> came with the clouds

<6050> of heaven <8065>, and came <4291> to the Ancient <6268> of

days <3118>, and they brought <7127> him near <7127> before <6925>

him.


7:14 And there was given <3052> him dominion <7985>, and glory

<3367>, and a kingdom <4437>, that all <3606> people <5972>, nations

<0524>, and languages <3961>, should serve <6399> him: his dominion

<7985> [is] an everlasting <5957> dominion <7985>, which <1768>

shall not pass <5709> away <5709>, and his kingdom <4437> [that]

which <1768> shall not be destroyed <2255>.


7:15. I Daniel <1841> was grieved <3735> in my spirit <7308> in the

midst <1459> of [my] body <5085>, and the visions <2376> of my head

<7217> troubled <0927> me.


7:16 I came <7127> near <7127> unto one <2298> of them that stood

<6966> by, and asked <1156> him the truth <3330> of all <3606> this

<1836>. So he told <0560> me, and made me know <3046> the

interpretation <6591> of the things <4406>.


7:17 These <0459> great <7260> beasts <2423>, which <1768> are four

<0703>, [are] four <0703> kings <4430>, [which] shall arise <6965>

out of the earth <0772>.


7:18 But the saints <6922> of the most <5946> High <5946> shall take

<6902> the kingdom <4437>, and possess <2631> the kingdom <4437> for

ever <5957>, even <5705> for ever <5957> and ever <5957>.


7:19 Then <0116> I would <6634> know <3046> the truth <3321> of the

fourth <7244> beast <2423>, which <1768> was diverse <8133> from all

<3606> the others, exceeding <3493> dreadful <1763>, whose <1768>

teeth <8128> [were of] iron <6523>, and his nails <2953> [of] brass

<5174>; [which] devoured <0399>, brake <1855> in pieces, and stamped

<7512> the residue <7606> with his feet <7271>;


7:20 And of the ten <6236> horns <7162> that [were] in his head

<7217>, and [of] the other <0317> which <1768> came <5559> up, and

before whom <4479> three <8532> fell <5308>; even [of] that horn

<7162> that had eyes <5870>, and a mouth <6433> that spake <4449>

very <7260> great <7260> things, whose look <2376> [was] more <5750>

stout <7229> than <4481> his fellows <2273>.


7:21 I beheld, and the same <1797> horn <7162> made <5648> war

<7129> with the saints <6922>, and prevailed <3202> against them;


7:22 Until <5704> the Ancient <6268> of days <3118> came <0858>, and

judgment <1780> was given <3052> to the saints <6922> of the most

<5946> High <5946>; and the time <2166> came <4291> that the saints

<6922> possessed <2631> the kingdom <4437>.


7:23 Thus <3652> he said <0560>, The fourth <7244> beast <2423>

shall be the fourth <7244> kingdom <4437> upon earth <0772>, which

<1768> shall be diverse <8133> from all <3606> kingdoms <4437>, and

shall devour <0399> the whole <3606> earth <0772>, and shall tread

<1759> it down, and break <1854> it in pieces.


7:24 And the ten <6236> horns <7162> out of this kingdom <4437>

[are] ten <6236> kings <4430> [that] shall arise <6965>: and another

<0312> shall rise <6966> after <0311> them; and he shall be diverse

<8133> from the first <6933>, and he shall subdue <8214> three

<8532> kings <4430>.


7:25 And he shall speak <4449> [great] words <4406> against <6655>

the most <5943> High <5943>, and shall wear <1080> out the saints

<6922> of the most <5946> High <5946>, and think <5452> to change

<8133> times <2166> and laws <1882>: and they shall be given <3052>

into his hand <3028> until <5704> a time <5732> and times <5732> and

the dividing <6387> of time <5732>.


7:26 But the judgment <1780> shall sit <3488>, and they shall take

<5709> away <5709> his dominion <7985>, to consume <8046> and to

destroy <7> [it] unto the end <5491>.


7:27 And the kingdom <4437> and dominion <7985>, and the greatness

<7238> of the kingdom <4437> under <8460> the whole <3606> heaven

<8065>, shall be given <3052> to the people <5972> of the saints

<6922> of the most <5945> High <5946>, whose kingdom <4437> [is] an

everlasting <5957> kingdom <4437>, and all <3606> dominions <7985>

shall serve <6399> and obey <8086> him.


7:28 Hitherto [is] the end <5491> of the matter <4406>. As for me

Daniel <1841>, my cogitations <7476> much <7690> troubled <0927> me,

and my countenance <2122> changed <8133> in me: but I kept <5202>

the matter <4406> in my heart <3821>.


Daniel 8


8:1. In the third <7969> year <8141> of the reign <4438> of king

<4428> Belshazzar <1113> a vision <2377> appeared <7200> unto me,

[even unto] me Daniel <1840>, after <0310> that which appeared

<7200> unto me at the first <8462>.


8:2 And I saw <7200> in a vision <2377>; and it came <1961> to pass,

when I saw <7200>, that I [was] at Shushan <7800> [in] the palace

<1002>, which <0834> [is] in the province <4082> of Elam <5867>; and

I saw <7200> in a vision <2377>, and I was by the river <0180> of

Ulai <0195>.


8:3 Then I lifted <5375> up mine eyes <5869>, and saw <7200>, and,

behold <2009>, there stood <5975> before <6440> the river <0180> a

ram <0352> which had [two] horns <7161>: and the [two] horns <7161>

[were] high <1364>; but one <0259> [was] higher <1364> than <4480>

the other <8145>, and the higher <1364> came <5927> up last <0314>.


8:4 I saw <7200> the ram <0352> pushing <5055> westward <3220>, and

northward <6828>, and southward <5045>; so that no <3808> beasts

<2416> might stand <5975> before <6440> him, neither <0369> [was

there any] that could deliver <5337> out of his hand <3027>; but he

did <6213> according to his will <7522>, and became <1431> great

<1431>.


8:5 And as I was considering <0995>, behold <2009>, an he goat

<5795> came <0935> from the west <4628> on the face <6440> of the

whole <3605> earth <0776>, and touched <5060> not the ground <0776>:

and the goat <6842> [had] a notable <2380> horn <7161> between

<0996> his eyes <5869>.


8:6 And he came <0935> to the ram <0352> that had [two] horns

<7161>, which <0834> I had seen <7200> standing <5975> before <6440>

the river <0180>, and ran <7323> unto him in the fury <2534> of his

power <3581>.


8:7 And I saw <7200> him come <5060> close <0681> unto the ram

<0352>, and he was moved with choler <4843> against <0413> him, and

smote <5221> the ram <0352>, and brake <7665> his two <8147> horns

<7161>: and there was no <3808> power <3581> in the ram <0352> to

stand <5975> before <6440> him, but he cast <7993> him down to the

ground <0776>, and stamped <7429> upon him: and there was none

<3808> that could deliver <5337> the ram <0352> out of his hand

<3027>.


8:8 Therefore the he goat <6842> waxed very great <1431>: and when

he was strong <6105>, the great <1419> horn <7161> was broken

<7665>; and for it came <5927> up four <0702> notable <2380> ones

toward the four <0702> winds <7307> of heaven <8064>.


8:9 And out of one <0259> of them came <3318> forth <3318> a little

<4704> horn <7161>, which waxed exceeding <3499> great <1431>,

toward <0413> the south <5045>, and toward <0413> the east <4217>,

and toward <0413> the pleasant <6643> [land].


8:10 And it waxed great <1431>, [even] to the host <6635> of heaven

<8064>; and it cast <5307> down <5307> [some] of the host <6635> and

of the stars <3556> to the ground <0776>, and stamped <7429> upon

them.


8:11 Yea, he magnified <1431> [himself] even to the prince <8269> of

the host <6635>, and by him the daily <8548> [sacrifice] was taken

<7311> away <7311>, and the place <4349> of his sanctuary <4720> was

cast <7993> down.


8:12 And an host <6635> was given <5414> [him] against <5921> the

daily <8548> [sacrifice] by reason of transgression <6588>, and it

cast <7993> down the truth <0571> to the ground <0776>; and it

practised <6213>, and prospered <6743>.


8:13 Then I heard <8085> one <0259> saint <6918> speaking <1696>,

and another <0259> saint <6918> said <0559> unto that certain <6422>

[saint] which spake <1696>, How <5704> long <5704> [shall be] the

vision <2377> [concerning] the daily <8548> [sacrifice], and the

transgression <6588> of desolation <8074>, to give <5414> both the

sanctuary <6944> and the host <6635> to be trodden <4823> under foot

<4823>?


8:14 And he said <0559> unto me, Unto two thousand <0505> and three

<7969> hundred <3967> days; then shall the sanctuary <6944> be

cleansed <6663>.


8:15. And it came <1961> to pass, when I, [even] I Daniel <1840>,

had seen <7200> the vision <2377>, and sought <1245> for the meaning

<0998>, then, behold <2009>, there stood <5975> before <5048> me as

the appearance <4758> of a man <1397>.


8:16 And I heard <8085> a man's <0120> voice <6963> between <0996>

[the banks of] Ulai <0195>, which called <7121>, and said <0559>,

Gabriel <1403>, make this <1975> [man] to understand <0995> the

vision <4758>.


8:17 So he came <0935> near <0681> where I stood <5977>: and when he

came <0935>, I was afraid <1204>, and fell <5307> upon my face

<6440>: but he said <0559> unto me, Understand <0995>, O son <1121>

of man <0120>: for at the time <6256> of the end <7093> [shall be]

the vision <4758>.


8:18 Now as he was speaking <1696> with me, I was in a deep <7290>

sleep <7290> on <5921> my face <6440> toward the ground <0776>: but

he touched <5060> me, and set <5975> me upright <5977>.


8:19 And he said <0559>, Behold <2005>, I will make thee know <3045>

what shall be in the last <0319> end of the indignation <2195>: for

at the time appointed <4150> the end <7093> [shall be].


8:20 The ram <0352> which <0834> thou sawest <7200> having <1167>

[two] horns <7161> [are] the kings <4428> of Media <4074> and Persia

<6539>.


8:21 And the rough <8163> goat <6842> [is] the king <4428> of Grecia

<3120>: and the great <1419> horn <7161> that [is] between <0996>

his eyes <5869> [is] the first <7223> king <4428>.


8:22 Now that being broken <7665>, whereas four <0702> stood <5975>

up for it, four <0702> kingdoms <4438> shall stand <5975> up out of

the nation <1471>, but not in his power <3581>.


8:23 And in the latter <0319> time of their kingdom <4438>, when the

transgressors <6586> are come to the full <8552>, a king <4428> of

fierce <5794> countenance <6440>, and understanding <0995> dark

<2420> sentences <2420>, shall stand <5975> up.


8:24 And his power <3581> shall be mighty <6105>, but not by his own

power <3581>: and he shall destroy <7843> wonderfully <6381>, and

shall prosper <6743>, and practise <6213>, and shall destroy <7843>

the mighty <6099> and the holy <6918> people <5971>.


8:25 And through <5921> his policy <7922> also he shall cause craft

<4820> to prosper <6743> in his hand <3027>; and he shall magnify

<1431> [himself] in his heart <3824>, and by peace <7962> shall

destroy <7843> many <7227>: he shall also stand <5975> up against

<5921> the Prince <8269> of princes <8269>; but he shall be broken

<7665> without <0657> hand <3027>.


8:26 And the vision <4758> of the evening <6153> and the morning

<1242> which <0834> was told <0560> [is] true <0571>: wherefore shut

<5640> thou up the vision <2377>; for it [shall be] for many <7227>

days <3117>.


8:27 And I Daniel <1840> fainted <1961>, and was sick <2470>

[certain] days <3117>; afterward I rose <6965> up, and did <6213>

the king's <4428> business <4399>; and I was astonished <8074> at

<5921> the vision <4758>, but none <0369> understood <0995> [it].


Daniel 9


9:1. In the first <0259> year <8141> of Darius <1867> the son <1121>

of Ahasuerus <0325>, of the seed <2233> of the Medes <4074>, which

<0834> was made king <4427> over <5921> the realm <4438> of the

Chaldeans <3778>;


9:2 In the first <0259> year <8141> of his reign <4427> I Daniel

<1840> understood <0995> by books <5612> the number <4557> of the

years <8141>, whereof <0834> the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> came

<1961> to Jeremiah <3414> the prophet <5030>, that he would

accomplish <4390> seventy <7657> years <8141> in the desolations

<2723> of Jerusalem <3389>.


9:3 And I set <5414> my face <6440> unto the Lord <0136> God <0430>,

to seek <1245> by prayer <8605> and supplications <8469>, with

fasting <6685>, and sackcloth <8242>, and ashes <0665>:


9:4. And I prayed <6419> unto the LORD <3068> my God <0430>, and

made my confession <3034>, and said <0559>, O Lord <0136>, the great

<1419> and dreadful <3372> God <0410>, keeping <8104> the covenant

<1285> and mercy <2617> to them that love <0157> him, and to them

that keep <8104> his commandments <4687>;


9:5 We have sinned <2398>, and have committed <5753> iniquity

<5753>, and have done wickedly <7561>, and have rebelled <4775>,

even by departing <5493> from thy precepts <4687> and from thy

judgments <4941>:


9:6 Neither <3808> have we hearkened <8085> unto thy servants <5650>

the prophets <5030>, which <0834> spake <1696> in thy name <8034> to

our kings <4428>, our princes <8269>, and our fathers <1>, and to

all <3605> the people <5971> of the land <0776>.


9:7 O Lord <0136>, righteousness <6666> [belongeth] unto thee, but

unto us confusion <1322> of faces <6440>, as at this <2088> day

<3117>; to the men <0376> of Judah <3063>, and to the inhabitants

<3427> of Jerusalem <3389>, and unto all <3605> Israel <3478>, [that

are] near <7138>, and [that are] far <7350> off, through all <3605>

the countries <0776> whither thou hast driven <5080> them, because

of their trespass <4604> that they have trespassed <4603> against

thee.


9:8 O Lord <0136>, to us [belongeth] confusion <1322> of face

<6440>, to our kings <4428>, to our princes <8269>, and to our

fathers <1>, because <0834> we have sinned <2398> against thee.


9:9 To the Lord <0136> our God <0430> [belong] mercies <7356> and

forgivenesses <5547>, though <3588> we have rebelled <4775> against

him;


9:10 Neither <3808> have we obeyed <8085> the voice <6963> of the

LORD <3068> our God <0430>, to walk <3212> in his laws <8451>, which

<0834> he set <5414> before <6440> us by his servants <5650> the

prophets <5030>.


9:11 Yea, all <3605> Israel <3478> have transgressed <5674> thy law

<8451>, even by departing <5493>, that they might not obey <8085>

thy voice <6963>; therefore the curse <0423> is poured <5413> upon

us, and the oath <7621> that [is] written <3789> in the law <8451>

of Moses <4872> the servant <5650> of God <0430>, because <3588> we

have sinned <2398> against him.


9:12 And he hath confirmed <6965> his words <1697>, which <0834> he

spake <1696> against <5921> us, and against <5921> our judges <8199>

that judged <8199> us, by bringing <0935> upon us a great <1419>

evil <7451>: for under <8478> the whole <3605> heaven <8064> hath

not been done as hath been done <6213> upon Jerusalem <3389>.


9:13 As [it is] written <3789> in the law <8451> of Moses <4872>,

all <3605> this <2063> evil <7451> is come <0935> upon us: yet made

we not our prayer <2470> before the LORD <3068> our God <0430>, that

we might turn <7725> from our iniquities <5771>, and understand

<7919> thy truth <0571>.


9:14 Therefore hath the LORD <3068> watched <8245> upon the evil

<7451>, and brought <0935> it upon us: for the LORD <3068> our God

<0430> [is] righteous <6662> in all <3605> his works <4639> which

<0834> he doeth <6213>: for we obeyed <8085> not his voice <6963>.


9:15 And now <6258>, O Lord <0136> our God <0430>, that hast brought

<3318> thy people <5971> forth <3318> out of the land <0776> of

Egypt <4714> with a mighty <2389> hand <3027>, and hast gotten

<6213> thee renown <8034>, as at this day <3117>; we have sinned

<2398>, we have done wickedly <7561>.


9:16 O Lord <0136>, according to all <3605> thy righteousness

<6666>, I beseech <4994> thee, let thine anger <0639> and thy fury

<2534> be turned <7725> away from thy city <5892> Jerusalem <3389>,

thy holy <6944> mountain <2022>: because <3588> for our sins <2399>,

and for the iniquities <5771> of our fathers <1>, Jerusalem <3389>

and thy people <5971> [are become] a reproach <2781> to all <3605>

[that are] about <5439> us.


9:17 Now <6258> therefore, O our God <0430>, hear <8085> the prayer

<8605> of thy servant <5650>, and his supplications <8469>, and

cause thy face <6440> to shine <0215> upon thy sanctuary <4720> that

is desolate <8074>, for the Lord's <0136> sake <4616>.


9:18 O my God <0430>, incline <5186> thine ear <0241>, and hear

<8085>; open <6491> thine eyes <5869>, and behold <7200> our

desolations <8074>, and the city <5892> which <0834> is called

<7121> by thy name <8034>: for we do not present <5307> our

supplications <8469> before <6440> thee for our righteousnesses

<6666>, but for thy great <7227> mercies <7356>.


9:19 O Lord <0136>, hear <8085>; O Lord <0136>, forgive <5545>; O

Lord <0136>, hearken <7181> and do <6213>; defer <0309> not, for

thine own sake <4616>, O my God <0430>: for thy city <5892> and thy

people <5971> are called <7121> by thy name <8034>.


9:20. And whiles <5750> I [was] speaking <1696>, and praying <6419>,

and confessing <3034> my sin <2403> and the sin <2403> of my people

<5971> Israel <3478>, and presenting <5307> my supplication <8467>

before <6440> the LORD <3068> my God <0430> for the holy <6944>

mountain <2022> of my God <0430>;


9:21 Yea, whiles I [was] speaking <1696> in prayer <8605>, even the

man <0376> Gabriel <1403>, whom <0834> I had seen <7200> in the

vision <2377> at the beginning <8462>, being caused to fly <3286>

swiftly <3288>, touched <5060> me about the time <6256> of the

evening <6153> oblation <4503>.


9:22 And he informed <0995> [me], and talked <1696> with me, and

said <0559>, O Daniel <1840>, I am now <6258> come <3318> forth

<3318> to give thee skill <7919> and understanding <0998>.


9:23 At the beginning <8462> of thy supplications <8469> the

commandment <1697> came <3318> forth <3318>, and I am come <0935> to

shew <5046> [thee]; for thou [art] greatly beloved <2530>: therefore

understand <0995> the matter <1697>, and consider <0995> the vision

<2377>.


9:24 Seventy <7657> weeks <7620> are determined <2852> upon thy

people <5971> and upon thy holy <6944> city <5892>, to finish <3607>

the transgression <6588>, and to make an end <2856> of sins <2403>,

and to make reconciliation <3722> for iniquity <5771>, and to bring

<0935> in everlasting <5769> righteousness <6664>, and to seal

<2856> up the vision <2377> and prophecy <5030>, and to anoint

<4886> the most <6944> Holy <6944>.


9:25 Know <3045> therefore and understand <7919>, [that] from the

going <4161> forth <4161> of the commandment <1697> to restore

<7725> and to build <1129> Jerusalem <3389> unto the Messiah <4899>

the Prince <5057> [shall be] seven <7651> weeks <7620>, and

threescore <8346> and two <8147> weeks <7620>: the street <7339>

shall be built <1129> again <7725>, and the wall <2742>, even in

troublous <5916> times <6256>.


9:26 And after <0310> threescore <8346> and two <8147> weeks <7620>

shall Messiah <4899> be cut <3772> off, but not for himself: and the

people <5971> of the prince <5057> that shall come <0935> shall

destroy <7843> the city <5892> and the sanctuary <6944>; and the end

<7093> thereof [shall be] with a flood <7858>, and unto the end

<7093> of the war <4421> desolations <8074> are determined <2782>.


9:27 And he shall confirm <1396> the covenant <1285> with many

<7227> for one <0259> week <7620>: and in the midst <2677> of the

week <7620> he shall cause the sacrifice <2077> and the oblation

<4503> to cease <7673>, and for the overspreading <3671> of

abominations <8251> he shall make [it] desolate <8074>, even until

<5704> the consummation <3617>, and that determined <2782> shall be

poured <5413> upon the desolate <8076>.


Daniel 10


10:1. In the third <7969> year <8141> of Cyrus <3566> king <4428> of

Persia <6539> a thing <1697> was revealed <1540> unto Daniel <1840>,

whose <0834> name <8034> was called <7121> Belteshazzar <1095>; and

the thing <1697> [was] true <0571>, but the time appointed <6635>

[was] long <1419>: and he understood <0995> the thing <1697>, and

had understanding <0998> of the vision <4758>.


10:2 In those <1992> days <3117> I Daniel <1840> was mourning <56>

three <7969> full <3117> weeks <7620>.


10:3 I ate <0398> no <3808> pleasant <2530> bread <3899>, neither

<3808> came <0935> flesh <1320> nor <3808> wine <3196> in my mouth

<6310>, neither <3808> did I anoint <5480> myself at all, till

<5704> three <7969> whole <3117> weeks <7620> were fulfilled <4390>.


10:4 And in the four <0702> and twentieth <6242> day <3117> of the

first <7223> month <2320>, as I was by the side <3027> of the great

<1419> river <5104>, which <1931> [is] Hiddekel <2313>;


10:5 Then I lifted <5375> up mine eyes <5869>, and looked <7200>,

and behold <2009> a certain <0259> man <0376> clothed <3847> in

linen <0906>, whose loins <4975> [were] girded <2296> with fine gold

<3800> of Uphaz <0210>:


10:6 His body <1472> also [was] like the beryl <8658>, and his face

<6440> as the appearance <4758> of lightning <1300>, and his eyes

<5869> as lamps <3940> of fire <0784>, and his arms <2220> and his

feet <4772> like in colour <5869> to polished <7044> brass <5178>,

and the voice <6963> of his words <1697> like the voice <6963> of a

multitude <1995>.


10:7 And I Daniel <1840> alone <0905> saw <7200> the vision <4759>:

for the men <0582> that were with me saw <7200> not the vision

<4759>; but a great <1419> quaking <2731> fell <5307> upon them, so

that they fled <1272> to hide <2244> themselves.


10:8 Therefore I was left <7604> alone <0905>, and saw <7200> this

great <1419> vision <4759>, and there remained <7604> no <3808>

strength <3581> in me: for my comeliness <1935> was turned <2015> in

me into corruption <4889>, and I retained <6113> no <3808> strength

<3581>.


10:9 Yet heard <8085> I the voice <6963> of his words <1697>: and

when I heard <8085> the voice <6963> of his words <1697>, then was I

in a deep <7290> sleep <7290> on my face <6440>, and my face <6440>

toward the ground <0776>.


10:10. And, behold <2009>, an hand <3027> touched <5060> me, which

set <5128> me upon my knees <1290> and [upon] the palms <3709> of my

hands <3027>.


10:11 And he said <0559> unto me, O Daniel <1840>, a man <0376>

greatly beloved <2530>, understand <0995> the words <1697> that I

speak <1696> unto thee, and stand <5975> upright <5977>: for unto

thee am I now <6258> sent <7971>. And when he had spoken <1696> this

<2088> word <1697> unto me, I stood <5975> trembling <7460>.


10:12 Then said <0559> he unto me, Fear <3372> not, Daniel <1840>:

for from the first <7223> day <3117> that thou didst set <5414>

thine heart <3820> to understand <0995>, and to chasten <6031>

thyself before <6440> thy God <0430>, thy words <1697> were heard

<8085>, and I am come <0935> for thy words <1697>.


10:13 But the prince <8269> of the kingdom <4438> of Persia <6539>

withstood <5975> me one <0259> and twenty <6242> days <3117>: but,

lo <2009>, Michael <4317>, one <0259> of the chief <7223> princes

<8269>, came <0935> to help <5826> me; and I remained <3498> there

<8033> with the kings <4428> of Persia <6539>.


10:14 Now I am come <0935> to make thee understand <0995> what shall

befall <7136> thy people <5971> in the latter <0319> days <3117>:

for yet <5750> the vision <2377> [is] for [many] days <3117>.


10:15 And when he had spoken <1696> such <0428> words <1697> unto

me, I set <5414> my face <6440> toward the ground <0776>, and I

became <0481> dumb <0481>.


10:16 And, behold <2009>, [one] like the similitude <1823> of the

sons <1121> of men <0120> touched <5060> my lips <8193>: then I

opened <6605> my mouth <6310>, and spake <1696>, and said <0559>

unto him that stood <5975> before <6440> me, O my lord <0113>, by

the vision <4758> my sorrows <6735> are turned <2015> upon me, and I

have retained <6113> no <3808> strength <3581>.


10:17 For how <1963> can <3201> the servant <5650> of this <2088> my

lord <0113> talk <1696> with this <2088> my lord <0113>? for as for

me, straightway <6258> there remained <5975> no <3808> strength

<3581> in me, neither <3808> is there breath <5397> left <7604> in

me.


10:18 Then there came again <3284> and touched <5060> me [one] like

the appearance <4758> of a man <0120>, and he strengthened <2388>

me,


10:19 And said <0559>, O man <0376> greatly beloved <2530>, fear

<3372> not: peace <7965> [be] unto thee, be strong <2388>, yea, be

strong <2388>. And when he had spoken <1696> unto me, I was

strengthened <2388>, and said <0559>, Let my lord <0113> speak

<1696>; for thou hast strengthened <2388> me.


10:20 Then said <0559> he, Knowest <3045> thou wherefore <4100> I

come <0935> unto thee? and now <6258> will I return <7725> to fight

<3898> with the prince <8269> of Persia <6539>: and when I am gone

<3318> forth <3318>, lo <2009>, the prince <8269> of Grecia <3120>

shall come <0935>.


10:21 But I will shew <5046> thee that which is noted <7559> in the

scripture <3791> of truth <0571>: and [there is] none <0369> that

holdeth <2388> with me in these <0428> things, but Michael <4317>

your prince <8269>.


Daniel 11


11:1. Also I in the first <0259> year <8141> of Darius <1867> the

Mede <4075>, [even] I, stood <5975> to confirm <2388> and to

strengthen <4581> him.


11:2 And now <6258> will I shew <5046> thee the truth <0571>. Behold

<2009>, there shall stand <5975> up yet <5750> three <7969> kings

<4428> in Persia <6539>; and the fourth <7243> shall be far <1419>

richer <6238> than [they] all <3605>: and by his strength <2394>

through his riches <6239> he shall stir <5782> up all <3605> against

the realm <4438> of Grecia <3120>.


11:3 And a mighty <1368> king <4428> shall stand <5975> up, that

shall rule <4910> with great <7227> dominion <4474>, and do <6213>

according to his will <7522>.


11:4 And when he shall stand <5975> up, his kingdom <4438> shall be

broken <7665>, and shall be divided <2673> toward the four <0702>

winds <7307> of heaven <8064>; and not to his posterity <0319>, nor

<3808> according to his dominion <4915> which <0834> he ruled

<4910>: for his kingdom <4438> shall be plucked <5428> up, even for

others <0312> beside <0905> those <0428>.


11:5. And the king <4428> of the south <5045> shall be strong

<2388>, and [one] of his princes <8269>; and he shall be strong

<2388> above <5921> him, and have dominion <4910>; his dominion

<4474> [shall be] a great <7227> dominion <4474>.


11:6 And in the end <7093> of years <8141> they shall join <2266>

themselves together; for the king's <4428> daughter <1323> of the

south <5045> shall come <0935> to the king <4428> of the north

<6828> to make <6213> an agreement <4339>: but she shall not retain

<6113> the power <3581> of the arm <2220>; neither <3808> shall he

stand <5975>, nor his arm <2220>: but she shall be given <5414> up,

and they that brought <0935> her, and he that begat <3205> her, and

he that strengthened <2388> her in [these] times <6256>.


11:7 But out of a branch <5342> of her roots <8328> shall [one]

stand <5975> up in his estate <3653>, which shall come <0935> with

an army <2428>, and shall enter <0935> into the fortress <4581> of

the king <4428> of the north <6828>, and shall deal <6213> against

them, and shall prevail <2388>:


11:8 And shall also <1571> carry <0935> captives <7628> into Egypt

<4714> their gods <0430>, with their princes <5257>, [and] with

their precious <2532> vessels <3627> of silver <3701> and of gold

<2091>; and he shall continue <5975> [more] years <8141> than the

king <4428> of the north <6828>.


11:9 So the king <4428> of the south <5045> shall come <0935> into

[his] kingdom <4438>, and shall return <7725> into <0413> his own

land <0127>.


11:10 But his sons <1121> shall be stirred <1624> up, and shall

assemble <0622> a multitude <1995> of great <7227> forces <2428>:

and [one] shall certainly come <0935>, and overflow <7857>, and pass

<5674> through: then shall he return <7725>, and be stirred <1624>

up, [even] to his fortress <4581>.


11:11 And the king <4428> of the south <5045> shall be moved with

choler <4843>, and shall come <3318> forth <3318> and fight <3898>

with him, [even] with the king <4428> of the north <6828>: and he

shall set <5975> forth <5975> a great <7227> multitude <1995>; but

the multitude <1995> shall be given <5414> into his hand <3027>.


11:12 [And] when he hath taken <5375> away the multitude <1995>, his

heart <3824> shall be lifted <7311> up; and he shall cast <5307>

down <5307> [many] ten <7239> thousands <7239>: but he shall not be

strengthened <5810> [by it].


11:13 For the king <4428> of the north <6828> shall return <7725>,

and shall set <5975> forth a multitude <1995> greater <7227> than

<4480> the former <7223>, and shall certainly come <0935> after

<7093> certain <6256> years <8141> with a great <1419> army <2428>

and with much riches <7399>.


11:14 And in those <1992> times <6256> there shall many <7227> stand

<5975> up against <5921> the king <4428> of the south <5045>: also

the robbers <6530> of thy people <5971> shall exalt <5375>

themselves to establish <5975> the vision <2377>; but they shall

fall <3782>.


11:15 So the king <4428> of the north <6828> shall come <0935>, and

cast <8210> up a mount <5550>, and take <3920> the most fenced

<4013> cities <5892>: and the arms <2220> of the south <5045> shall

not withstand <5975>, neither <0369> his chosen <4005> people

<5971>, neither <0369> [shall there be any] strength <3581> to

withstand <5975>.


11:16 But he that cometh <0935> against <0413> him shall do <6213>

according to his own <7522> will <7522>, and none <0369> shall stand

<5975> before <6440> him: and he shall stand <5975> in the glorious

<6643> land <0776>, which by his hand <3027> shall be consumed

<3615>.


11:17 He shall also set <7760> his face <6440> to enter <0935> with

the strength <8633> of his whole <3605> kingdom <4438>, and upright

<3477> ones with him; thus shall he do <6213>: and he shall give

<5414> him the daughter <1323> of women <0802>, corrupting <7843>

her: but she shall not stand <5975> [on his side], neither <3808> be

for him.


11:18 After this shall he turn <7725> his face <6440> unto the isles

<0339>, and shall take <3920> many <7227>: but a prince <7101> for

his own behalf shall cause the reproach <2781> offered by him to

cease <7673>; without <1115> his own reproach <2781> he shall cause

[it] to turn <7725> upon him.


11:19 Then he shall turn <7725> his face <6440> toward the fort

<4581> of his own land <0776>: but he shall stumble <3782> and fall

<5307>, and not be found <4672>.


11:20 Then shall stand <5975> up in his estate <3653> a raiser

<5674> of taxes <5065> [in] the glory <1925> of the kingdom <4438>:

but within few <0259> days <3117> he shall be destroyed <7665>,

neither <3808> in anger <0639>, nor <3808> in battle <4421>.


11:21. And in his estate <3653> shall stand <5975> up a vile <0959>

person, to whom <5921> they shall not give <5414> the honour <1935>

of the kingdom <4438>: but he shall come <0935> in peaceably <7962>,

and obtain <2388> the kingdom <4438> by flatteries <2519>.


11:22 And with the arms <2220> of a flood <7858> shall they be

overflown <7857> from before <6440> him, and shall be broken <7665>;

yea <1571>, also <1571> the prince <5057> of the covenant <1285>.


11:23 And after the league <2266> [made] with him he shall work

<6213> deceitfully <4820>: for he shall come <5927> up, and shall

become <6105> strong <6105> with a small <4592> people <1471>.


11:24 He shall enter <0935> peaceably <7962> even upon the fattest

<4924> places of the province <4082>; and he shall do <6213> [that]

which <0834> his fathers <1> have not done <6213>, nor his fathers

<1>' fathers <1>; he shall scatter <0967> among them the prey

<0961>, and spoil <7998>, and riches <7399>: [yea], and he shall

forecast <2803> his devices <4284> against <5921> the strong <4013>

holds <4013>, even for a time <6256>.


11:25 And he shall stir <5782> up his power <3581> and his courage

<3824> against <5921> the king <4428> of the south <5045> with a

great <1419> army <2428>; and the king <4428> of the south <5045>

shall be stirred <1624> up to battle <4421> with a very great <1419>

and mighty <6099> army <2428>; but he shall not stand <5975>: for

they shall forecast <2803> devices <4284> against <5921> him.


11:26 Yea, they that feed <0398> of the portion <6598> of his meat

<6598> shall destroy <7665> him, and his army <2428> shall overflow

<7857>: and many <7227> shall fall <5307> down slain <2491>.


11:27 And both <8147> these kings <4428>' hearts <3824> [shall be]

to do mischief <4827>, and they shall speak <1696> lies <3576> at

<5921> one <0259> table <7979>; but it shall not prosper <6743>: for

yet <5750> the end <7093> [shall be] at the time appointed <4150>.


11:28 Then shall he return <7725> into his land <0776> with great

<1419> riches <7399>; and his heart <3824> [shall be] against <5921>

the holy <6944> covenant <1285>; and he shall do <6213> [exploits],

and return <7725> to his own land <0776>.


11:29 At the time appointed <4150> he shall return <7725>, and come

<0935> toward the south <5045>; but it shall not be as the former

<7223>, or as the latter <0314>.


11:30 For the ships <6716> of Chittim <3794> shall come <0935>

against him: therefore he shall be grieved <3512>, and return

<7725>, and have indignation <2194> against <5921> the holy <6944>

covenant <1285>: so shall he do <6213>; he shall even return <7725>,

and have intelligence <0995> with them that forsake <5800> the holy

<6944> covenant <1285>.


11:31 And arms <2220> shall stand <5975> on his part <2506>, and

they shall pollute <2490> the sanctuary <4720> of strength <4581>,

and shall take <5493> away <5493> the daily <8548> [sacrifice], and

they shall place <5414> the abomination <8251> that maketh desolate

<8074>.


11:32 And such as do wickedly <7561> against the covenant <1285>

shall he corrupt <2610> by flatteries <2514>: but the people <5971>

that do know <3045> their God <0430> shall be strong <2388>, and do

<6213> [exploits].


11:33 And they that understand <7919> among the people <5971> shall

instruct <0995> many <7227>: yet they shall fall <3782> by the sword

<2719>, and by flame <3852>, by captivity <7628>, and by spoil

<0961>, [many] days <3117>.


11:34 Now when they shall fall <3782>, they shall be holpen <5826>

with a little <4592> help <5828>: but many <7227> shall cleave

<3867> to them with flatteries <2519>.


11:35 And [some] of them of understanding <7919> shall fall <3782>,

to try <6884> them, and to purge <1305>, and to make [them] white

<3835>, [even] to the time <6256> of the end <7093>: because [it is]

yet <5750> for a time appointed <4150>.


11:36 And the king <4428> shall do <6213> according to his will

<7522>; and he shall exalt <7311> himself, and magnify <1431>

himself above <5921> every <3605> god <0410>, and shall speak <1696>

marvellous <6381> things against <5921> the God <0410> of gods

<0410>, and shall prosper <6743> till <5704> the indignation <2195>

be accomplished <3615>: for that that is determined <2782> shall be

done <6213>.


11:37 Neither <3808> shall he regard <0995> the God <0430> of his

fathers <1>, nor the desire <2532> of women <0802>, nor <3808>

regard <0995> any <3605> god <0433>: for he shall magnify <1431>

himself above <5921> all <3605>.


11:38 But in his estate <3653> shall he honour <3513> the God <0433>

of forces <4581>: and a god <0433> whom <0834> his fathers <1> knew

<3045> not shall he honour <3513> with gold <2091>, and silver

<3701>, and with precious <3368> stones <68>, and pleasant <2530>

things.


11:39 Thus shall he do <6213> in the most <4581> strong <4581> holds

<4013> with a strange <5236> god <0433>, whom <0834> he shall

acknowledge <5234> [and] increase <7235> with glory <3519>: and he

shall cause them to rule <4910> over many <7227>, and shall divide

<2505> the land <0127> for gain <4242>.


11:40 And at the time <6256> of the end <7093> shall the king <4428>

of the south <5045> push <5055> at him: and the king <4428> of the

north <6828> shall come <8175> against <5921> him like a whirlwind

<8175>, with chariots <7393>, and with horsemen <6571>, and with

many <7227> ships <0591>; and he shall enter <0935> into the

countries <0776>, and shall overflow <7857> and pass <5674> over

<5674>.


11:41 He shall enter <0935> also into the glorious <6643> land

<0776>, and many <7227> [countries] shall be overthrown <3782>: but

these <0428> shall escape <4422> out of his hand <3027>, [even] Edom

<0123>, and Moab <4124>, and the chief <7225> of the children <1121>

of Ammon <5983>.


11:42 He shall stretch <7971> forth his hand <3027> also upon the

countries <0776>: and the land <0776> of Egypt <4714> shall not

escape <6413>.


11:43 But he shall have power <4910> over the treasures <4362> of

gold <2091> and of silver <3701>, and over all <3605> the precious

<2530> things of Egypt <4714>: and the Libyans <3864> and the

Ethiopians <3569> [shall be] at his steps <4703>.


11:44 But tidings <8052> out of the east <4217> and out of the north

<6828> shall trouble <0926> him: therefore he shall go <3318> forth

<3318> with great <1419> fury <2534> to destroy <8045>, and utterly

to make away <2763> many <7227>.


11:45 And he shall plant <5193> the tabernacles <0168> of his palace

<0643> between <0996> the seas <3220> in the glorious <6643> holy

<6944> mountain <2022>; yet he shall come <0935> to his end <7093>,

and none <0369> shall help <5826> him.


Daniel 12


12:1. And at that time <6256> shall Michael <4317> stand <5975> up,

the great <1419> prince <8269> which standeth <5975> for the

children <1121> of thy people <5971>: and there shall be a time

<6256> of trouble <6869>, such <0834> as never <3808> was since

there was a nation <1471> [even] to that same <1931> time <6256>:

and at that time <6256> thy people <5971> shall be delivered <4422>,

every <3605> one that shall be found <4672> written <3789> in the

book <5612>.


12:2 And many <7227> of them that sleep <3463> in the dust <6083> of

the earth <0127> shall awake <6974>, some <0428> to everlasting

<5769> life <2416>, and some <0428> to shame <2781> [and]

everlasting <5769> contempt <1860>.


12:3 And they that be wise <7919> shall shine <2094> as the

brightness <2096> of the firmament <7549>; and they that turn many

<7227> to righteousness <6663> as the stars <3556> for ever <5769>

and ever <5703>.


12:4 But thou, O Daniel <1840>, shut <5640> up the words <1697>, and

seal <2856> the book <5612>, [even] to the time <6256> of the end

<7093>: many <7227> shall run <7751> to and fro <7751>, and

knowledge <1847> shall be increased <7235>.


12:5. Then I Daniel <1840> looked <7200>, and, behold <2009>, there

stood <5975> other <0312> two <8147>, the one <0259> on this <2008>

side of the bank <8193> of the river <2975>, and the other <0259> on

that side of the bank <8193> of the river <2975>.


12:6 And [one] said <0559> to the man <0376> clothed <3847> in linen

<0906>, which <0834> [was] upon the waters <4325> of the river

<2975>, How <5704> long <5704> [shall it be to] the end <7093> of

these wonders <6382>?


12:7 And I heard <8085> the man <0376> clothed <3847> in linen

<0906>, which <0834> [was] upon the waters <4325> of the river

<2975>, when he held <7311> up his right <3225> hand <3225> and his

left <8040> hand <8040> unto heaven <8064>, and sware <7650> by him

that liveth <2416> for ever <5769> that [it shall be] for a time

<4150>, times <4150>, and an half <2677>; and when he shall have

accomplished <3615> to scatter <5310> the power <3027> of the holy

<6944> people <5971>, all <3605> these <0428> [things] shall be

finished <3615>.


12:8 And I heard <8085>, but I understood <0995> not: then said

<0559> I, O my Lord <0113>, what <4100> [shall be] the end <0319> of

these <0428> [things]?


12:9 And he said <0559>, Go <3212> thy way, Daniel <1840>: for the

words <1697> [are] closed <5640> up and sealed <2856> till <5704>

the time <6256> of the end <7093>.


12:10 Many <7227> shall be purified <1305>, and made white <3835>,

and tried <6884>; but the wicked <7563> shall do wickedly <7561>:

and none <3808> of the wicked <7563> shall understand <0995>; but

the wise <7919> shall understand <0995>.


12:11 And from the time <6256> [that] the daily <8548> [sacrifice]

shall be taken <5493> away <5493>, and the abomination <8251> that

maketh desolate <8074> set <5414> up, [there shall be] a thousand

<0505> two hundred <3967> and ninety <8673> days <3117>.


12:12 Blessed <0835> [is] he that waiteth <2442>, and cometh <5060>

to the thousand <0505> three <7969> hundred <3967> and five <2568>

and thirty <7970> days <3117>.


12:13 But go <3212> thou thy way <1870> till the end <7093> [be]:

for thou shalt rest <5117>, and stand <5975> in thy lot <1486> at

the end <7093> of the days <3117>.
