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>.
