Nebuchadnezzar H5020 the king H4430 , unto all H3606 people H5972 , nations H524 , and languages H3961 , that H1768 dwell H1753 in all H3606 the earth H772 ; Peace H8001 be multiplied H7680 unto you .
How H4101 great H7260 [ are ] his signs H852 ! and how H4101 mighty H8624 [ are ] his wonders H8540 ! his kingdom H4437 [ is ] an everlasting H5957 kingdom H4437 , and his dominion H7985 [ is ] from H5974 generation H1859 to generation H1859 .
I saw H2370 a dream H2493 which made me afraid H1763 , and the thoughts H2031 upon H5922 my bed H4903 and the visions H2376 of my head H7217 troubled H927 me .
Therefore made H4481 I a decree H2942 to bring in H5924 all H3606 the wise H2445 [ men ] of Babylon H895 before H6925 me , that H1768 they might make known H3046 unto me the interpretation H6591 of the dream H2493 .
Then H116 came in H5954 the magicians H2749 , the astrologers H826 , the Chaldeans H3779 , and the soothsayers H1505 : and I H576 told H560 the dream H2493 before H6925 them ; but they did not H3809 make known H3046 unto me the interpretation H6591 thereof .
But at H5705 the last H318 Daniel H1841 came in H5954 before H6925 me , whose H1768 name H8036 [ was ] Belteshazzar H1096 , according to the name H8036 of my god H426 , and in whom H1768 [ is ] the spirit H7308 of the holy H6922 gods H426 : and before H6925 him I told H560 the dream H2493 , [ saying ] ,
O Belteshazzar H1096 , master H7229 of the magicians H2749 , because H1768 I H576 know H3046 that H1768 the spirit H7308 of the holy H6922 gods H426 [ is ] in thee , and no H3809 secret H7328 troubleth H598 thee , tell H560 me the visions H2376 of my dream H2493 that H1768 I have seen H2370 , and the interpretation H6591 thereof .
Thus [ were ] the visions H2376 of mine head H7217 in H5922 my bed H4903 ; I saw H1934 , and behold H431 a tree H363 in the midst H1459 of the earth H772 , and the height H7314 thereof [ was ] great H7690 .
The tree H363 grew H7236 , and was strong H8631 , and the height H7314 thereof reached H4291 unto heaven H8065 , and the sight H2379 thereof to the end H5491 of all H3606 the earth H772 :
The leaves H6074 thereof [ were ] fair H8209 , and the fruit H4 thereof much H7690 , and in it [ was ] meat H4203 for all H3606 : the beasts H2423 of the field H1251 had shadow H2927 under H8460 it , and the fowls H6853 of the heaven H8065 dwelt H1753 in the boughs H6056 thereof , and all H3606 flesh H1321 was fed H2110 of H4481 it .
I saw H1934 in the visions H2376 of my head H7217 upon H5922 my bed H4903 , and , behold H431 , a watcher H5894 and a holy one H6922 came down H5182 from H4481 heaven H8065 ;
He cried H7123 aloud H2429 , and said H560 thus H3652 , Hew down H1414 the tree H363 , and cut off H7113 his branches H6056 , shake off H5426 his leaves H6074 , and scatter H921 his fruit H4 : let the beasts H2423 get away H5111 from H4481 under H8479 it , and the fowls H6853 from H4481 his branches H6056 :
Nevertheless H1297 leave H7662 the stump H6136 of his roots H8330 in the earth H772 , even with a band H613 of H1768 iron H6523 and brass H5174 , in the tender grass H1883 of H1768 the field H1251 ; and let it be wet H6647 with the dew H2920 of heaven H8065 , and [ let ] his portion H2508 [ be ] with H5974 the beasts H2423 in the grass H6211 of the earth H772 :
Let his heart H3825 be changed H8133 from H4481 man H606 \'s , and let a beast H2423 \'s heart H3825 be given H3052 unto him ; and let seven H7655 times H5732 pass H2499 over H5922 him .
This matter H6600 [ is ] by the decree H1510 of the watchers H5894 , and the demand H7595 by the word H3983 of the holy ones H6922 : to H5705 the intent H1701 that H1768 the living H2417 may know H3046 that H1768 the most High H5943 ruleth H7990 in the kingdom H4437 of men H606 , and giveth H5415 it to whomsoever H4479 he will H6634 , and setteth up H6966 over H5922 it the basest H8215 of men H606 .
This H1836 dream H2493 I H576 king H4430 Nebuchadnezzar H5020 have seen H2370 . Now thou H607 , O Belteshazzar H1096 , declare H560 the interpretation H6591 thereof , forasmuch as all H3606 the wise H2445 [ men ] of my kingdom H4437 are not able H3202 to make known H3046 unto me the interpretation H6591 : but thou H607 [ art ] able H3546 ; for H1768 the spirit H7308 of the holy H6922 gods H426 [ is ] in thee .
Then H116 Daniel H1841 , whose H1768 name H8036 [ was ] Belteshazzar H1096 , was astonished H8075 for one H2298 hour H8160 , and his thoughts H7476 troubled H927 him . The king H4430 spoke H6032 , and said H560 , Belteshazzar H1096 , let not H409 the dream H2493 , or the interpretation H6591 thereof , trouble H927 thee . Belteshazzar H1096 answered H6032 and said H560 , My lord H4756 , the dream H2493 [ be ] to them that hate H8131 thee , and the interpretation H6591 thereof to thine enemies H6146 .
The tree H363 that H1768 thou sawest H2370 , which H1768 grew H7236 , and was strong H8631 , whose height H7314 reached H4291 unto the heaven H8065 , and the sight H2379 thereof to all H3606 the earth H772 ;
Whose leaves H6074 [ were ] fair H8209 , and the fruit H4 thereof much H7690 , and in it [ was ] meat H4203 for all H3606 ; under H8460 which the beasts H2423 of the field H1251 dwelt H1753 , and upon whose branches H6056 the fowls H6853 of the heaven H8065 had their habitation H7932 :
It H1932 [ is ] thou H607 , O king H4430 , that H1768 art grown H7236 and become strong H8631 : for thy greatness H7238 is grown H7236 , and reacheth H4291 unto heaven H8065 , and thy dominion H7985 to the end H5491 of the earth H772 .
And whereas H1768 the king H4430 saw H2370 a watcher H5894 and a holy one H6922 coming down H5182 from H4481 heaven H8065 , and saying H560 , Hew the tree down H1414 , and destroy H2255 it ; yet H1297 leave H7662 the stump H6136 of the roots H8330 thereof in the earth H772 , even with a band H613 of H1768 iron H6523 and brass H5174 , in the tender grass H1883 of H1768 the field H1251 ; and let it be wet H6647 with the dew H2920 of heaven H8065 , and [ let ] his portion H2508 [ be ] with H5974 the beasts H2423 of the field H1251 , till H5705 seven H7655 times H5732 pass H2499 over H5922 him ;
This H1836 [ is ] the interpretation H6591 , O king H4430 , and this H1932 [ is ] the decree H1510 of the most High H5943 , which H1768 is come H4291 upon H5922 my lord H4756 the king H4430 :
That they shall drive H2957 thee from H4481 men H606 , and thy dwelling H4070 shall be H1934 with H5974 the beasts H2423 of the field H1251 , and they shall make thee to eat H2939 grass H6211 as oxen H8450 , and they shall wet H6647 thee with the dew H4481 of heaven H8065 , and seven H7655 times H5732 shall pass H2499 over H5922 thee , till H5705 thou know H3046 that H1768 the most High H5943 ruleth H7990 in the kingdom H4437 of men H606 , and giveth H5415 it to whomsoever H4479 he will H6634 .
And whereas H1768 they commanded H560 to leave H7662 the stump H6136 of H1768 the tree H363 roots H8330 ; thy kingdom H4437 shall be sure H7011 unto thee , after that thou shalt have known H3046 that H1768 the heavens H8065 do rule H7990 .
Wherefore H3861 , O king H4430 , let my counsel H4431 be acceptable H8232 unto H5922 thee , and break H6562 off thy sins H2408 by righteousness H6665 , and thine iniquities H5758 by showing mercy H2604 to the poor H6033 ; if H2006 it may be H1934 a lengthening H754 of thy tranquillity H7963 .
The king H4430 spoke H6032 , and said H560 , Is not H3809 this H1668 great H7229 Babylon H895 , that H1768 I H576 have built H1124 for the house H1005 of the kingdom H4437 by the might H8632 of my power H2632 , and for the honor H3367 of my majesty H1923 ?
While H5751 the word H4406 [ was ] in the king H4430 \'s mouth H6433 , there fell H5308 a voice H7032 from H4481 heaven H8065 , [ saying ] , O king H4430 Nebuchadnezzar H5020 , to thee it is spoken H560 ; The kingdom H4437 is departed H5709 from H4481 thee .
And they shall drive H2957 thee from H4481 men H606 , and thy dwelling H4070 [ shall ] [ be ] with H5974 the beasts H2423 of the field H1251 : they shall make thee to eat H2939 grass H6211 as oxen H8450 , and seven H7655 times H5732 shall pass H2499 over H5922 thee , until H5705 thou know H3046 that H1768 the most High H5943 ruleth H7990 in the kingdom H4437 of men H606 , and giveth H5415 it to whomsoever H4479 he will H6634 .
The same hour H8160 was the thing H4406 fulfilled H5487 upon H5922 Nebuchadnezzar H5020 : and he was driven H2957 from H4481 men H606 , and did eat H399 grass H6211 as oxen H8450 , and his body H1655 was wet H6647 with the dew H4481 of heaven H8065 , till H5705 his hairs H8177 were grown H7236 like eagles H5403 \' [ feathers ] , and his nails H2953 like birds H6853 \' [ claws ] .
And at the end H7118 of the days H3118 I H576 Nebuchadnezzar H5020 lifted up H5191 mine eyes H5870 unto heaven H8065 , and mine understanding H4486 returned H8421 unto H5922 me , and I blessed H1289 the most High H5943 , and I praised H7624 and honored H1922 him that liveth H2417 forever H5957 , whose H1768 dominion H7985 [ is ] an everlasting H5957 dominion H7985 , and his kingdom H4437 [ is ] from H5974 generation H1859 to generation H1859 :
And all H3606 the inhabitants H1753 of the earth H772 [ are ] reputed H2804 as nothing H3809 : and he doeth H5648 according to his will H6634 in the army H2429 of heaven H8065 , and [ among ] the inhabitants H1753 of the earth H772 : and none H3809 can H383 stay H4223 his hand H3028 , or say H560 unto him , What H4101 doest H5648 thou ?
At the same time H2166 my reason H4486 returned H8421 unto H5922 me ; and for the glory H3367 of my kingdom H4437 , mine honor H1923 and brightness H2122 returned H8421 unto H5922 me ; and my counselors H1907 and my lords H7261 sought H1156 unto me ; and I was established H8627 in H5922 my kingdom H4437 , and excellent H3493 majesty H7238 was added H3255 unto me .
Now H3705 I H576 Nebuchadnezzar H5020 praise H7624 and extol H7313 and honor H1922 the King H4430 of heaven H8065 , all H3606 whose H1768 works H4567 [ are ] truth H7187 , and his ways H735 judgment H1780 : and those H1768 that walk H1981 in pride H1467 he is able H3202 to abase H8214 .
