babylon In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah came Nebuchadnezzar king of {Babylon} unto Jerusalem, and besieged it. babylon For this cause the king was angry and very furious, and commanded to destroy all the wise [men] of {Babylon}. babylon Then Daniel answered with counsel and wisdom to Arioch the captain of the king's guard, which was gone forth to slay the wise [men] of {Babylon}: babylon That they would desire mercies of the God of heaven concerning this secret; that Daniel and his fellows should not perish with the rest of the wise [men] of {Babylon}. babylon Therefore Daniel went in unto Arioch, whom the king had ordained to destroy the wise [men] of {Babylon}: he went and said thus unto him; Destroy not the wise [men] of Babylon: bring me in before the king, and I will show unto the king the interpretation. babylon Therefore Daniel went in unto Arioch, whom the king had ordained to destroy the wise [men] of Babylon: he went and said thus unto him; Destroy not the wise [men] of {Babylon}: bring me in before the king, and I will show unto the king the interpretation. babylon Then the king made Daniel a great man, and gave him many great gifts, and made him ruler over the whole province of {Babylon}, and chief of the governors over all the wise [men] of Babylon. babylon Then the king made Daniel a great man, and gave him many great gifts, and made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon, and chief of the governors over all the wise [men] of {Babylon}. babylon Then Daniel requested of the king, and he set Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, over the affairs of the province of {Babylon}: but Daniel [sat] in the gate of the king. babylon Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height [was] threescore cubits, [and] the breadth thereof six cubits: he set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of {Babylon}. babylon There are certain Jews whom thou hast set over the affairs of the province of {Babylon}, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego; these men, O king, have not regarded thee: they serve not thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up. babylon Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, in the province of {Babylon}. babylon Therefore made I a decree to bring in all the wise [men] of {Babylon} before me, that they might make known unto me the interpretation of the dream. babylon At the end of twelve months he walked in the palace of the kingdom of {Babylon}. babylon The king spake, and said, Is not this great {Babylon}, that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power, and for the honour of my majesty? babylon The king cried aloud to bring in the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. [And] the king spake, and said to the wise [men] of {Babylon}, Whosoever shall read this writing, and show me the interpretation thereof, shall be clothed with scarlet, and [have] a chain of gold about his neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom. babylon In the first year of Belshazzar king of {Babylon} Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed: then he wrote the dream, [and] told the sum of the matters. babylon And there followed another angel, saying, {Babylon} is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. babylon And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great {Babylon} came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. babylon And upon her forehead [was] a name written, MYSTERY, {BABYLON} THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. babylon And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, {Babylon} the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. babylon Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city {Babylon}, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come. babylon And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast [it] into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city {Babylon} be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all. ~~~~~~
