DA-2:1 And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar


  • Nebuchadnezzar
  • dreamed dreams, wherewith his spirit was troubled, and his sleep
  • brake from
  • him.
  • DA-2:2 Then the king commanded to call the magicians, and the
  • astrologers,
  • and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans, for to show the king his
  • dreams. So they
  • came and stood before the king.
  • DA-2:3 And the king said unto them, I have dreamed a dream, and
  • my spirit was
  • troubled to know the dream.
  • DA-2:4 Then spake the Chaldeans to the king in Syriack, O king,
  • live for
  • ever: tell thy servants the dream, and we will show the
  • interpretation.
  • DA-2:5 The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, The thing
  • is gone from
  • me: if ye will not make known unto me the dream, with the
  • interpretation
  • thereof, ye shall be cut in pieces, and your houses shall be
  • made a dunghill.
  • DA-2:6 But if ye show the dream, and the interpretation thereof,
  • ye shall
  • receive of me gifts and rewards and great honour: therefore show
  • me the dream,
  • and the interpretation thereof.
  • DA-2:7 They answered again and said, Let the king tell his
  • servants the
  • dream, and we will show the interpretation of it.
  • DA-2:8 The king answered and said, I know of certainty that ye
  • would gain the
  • time, because ye see the thing is gone from me.
  • DA-2:9 But if ye will not make known unto me the dream, [there
  • is but] one
  • decree for you: for ye have prepared lying and corrupt words to
  • speak before
  • me, till the time be changed: therefore tell me the dream, and I
  • shall know
  • that ye can show me the interpretation thereof.
  • DA-2:10 The Chaldeans answered before the king, and said, There
  • is not a man
  • upon the earth that can show the king's matter: therefore [there
  • is] no king,
  • lord, nor ruler, [that] asked such things at any magician, or
  • astrologer, or
  • Chaldean.
  • DA-2:11 And [it is] a rare thing that the king requireth, and
  • there is none
  • other that can show it before the king, except the gods, whose
  • dwelling is not
  • with flesh.
  • DA-2:12 For this cause the king was angry and very furious, and
  • commanded to
  • destroy all the wise [men] of Babylon.
  • DA-2:13 And the decree went forth that the wise [men] should be
  • slain; and
  • they sought Daniel and his fellows to be slain.
  • DA-2:14 Then Daniel answered with counsel and wisdom to Arioch
  • the captain of
  • the king's guard, which was gone forth to slay the wise [men] of
  • Babylon:
  • DA-2:15 He answered and said to Arioch the king's captain, Why
  • [is] the
  • decree [so] hasty from the king? Then Arioch made the thing
  • known to Daniel.
  • DA-2:16 Then Daniel went in, and desired of the king that he
  • would give him
  • time, and that he would show the king the interpretation.
  • DA-2:17 Then Daniel went to his house, and made the thing known
  • to Hananiah,
  • Mishael, and Azariah, his companions:
  • DA-2:18 That they would desire mercies of the God of heaven
  • concerning this
  • secret; that Daniel and his fellows should not perish with the
  • rest of the
  • wise [men] of Babylon.
  • DA-2:19 Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a night
  • vision. Then
  • Daniel blessed the God of heaven.
  • DA-2:20 Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God
  • for ever and
  • ever: for wisdom and might are his:
  • DA-2:21 And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth
  • kings, and
  • setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge
  • to them that
  • know understanding:
  • DA-2:22 He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth
  • what [is] in the
  • darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.
  • DA-2:23 I thank thee, and praise thee, O thou God of my fathers,
  • who hast
  • given me wisdom and might, and hast made known unto me now what
  • we desired of
  • thee: for thou hast [now] made known unto us the king's matter.
  • DA-2:24 Therefore Daniel went in unto Arioch, whom the king had
  • ordained to
  • destroy the wise [men] of Babylon: he went and said thus unto
  • him; Destroy not
  • the wise [men] of Babylon: bring me in before the king, and I
  • will show unto
  • the king the interpretation.
  • DA-2:25 Then Arioch brought in Daniel before the king in haste,
  • and said thus
  • unto him, I have found a man of the captives of Judah, that will
  • make known
  • unto the king the interpretation.
  • DA-2:26 The king answered and said to Daniel, whose name [was]
  • Belteshazzar,
  • Art thou able to make known unto me the dream which I have seen,
  • and the
  • interpretation thereof?
  • DA-2:27 Daniel answered in the presence of the king, and said,
  • The secret
  • which the king hath demanded cannot the wise [men], the
  • astrologers, the
  • magicians, the soothsayers, show unto the king;
  • DA-2:28 But there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets,
  • and maketh known
  • to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. Thy
  • dream, and
  • the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are these;
  • DA-2:29 As for thee, O king, thy thoughts came [into thy mind]
  • upon thy bed,
  • what should come to pass hereafter: and he that revealeth
  • secrets maketh known
  • to thee what shall come to pass.
  • DA-2:30 But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for
  • [any] wisdom
  • that I have more than any living, but for [their] sakes that
  • shall make known
  • the interpretation to the king, and that thou mightest know the
  • thoughts of
  • thy heart.
  • DA-2:31 Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This
  • great image,
  • whose brightness [was] excellent, stood before thee; and the
  • form thereof
  • [was] terrible.
  • DA-2:32 This image's head [was] of fine gold, his breast and
  • his arms of
  • silver, his belly and his thighs of brass,
  • DA-2:33 His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of
  • clay.
  • DA-2:34 Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands,
  • which smote
  • the image upon his feet [that were] of iron and clay, and brake
  • them to
  • pieces.
  • DA-2:35 Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and
  • the gold,
  • broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the
  • summer
  • threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place
  • was found for
  • them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain,
  • and filled
  • the whole earth.
  • DA-2:36 This [is] the dream; and we will tell the
  • interpretation thereof
  • before the king.
  • DA-2:37 Thou, O king, [art] a king of kings: for the God of
  • heaven hath given
  • thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory.
  • DA-2:38 And wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts
  • of the field
  • and the fowls of the heaven hath he given into thine hand, and
  • hath made thee
  • ruler over them all. Thou [art] this head of gold.
  • DA-2:39 And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to
  • thee, and
  • another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all
  • the earth.
  • DA-2:40 And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron:
  • forasmuch as iron
  • breaketh in pieces and subdueth all [things]: and as iron that
  • breaketh all
  • these, shall it break in pieces and bruise.
  • DA-2:41 And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of
  • potter's clay, and
  • part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be
  • in it of the
  • strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed
  • with miry clay.
  • DA-2:42 And [as] the toes of the feet [were] part of iron, and
  • part of clay,
  • [so] the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.
  • DA-2:43 And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they
  • shall mingle
  • themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one
  • to another,
  • even as iron is not mixed with clay.
  • DA-2:44 And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven
  • set up a
  • kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall
  • not be left to
  • other people, [but] it shall break in pieces and consume all
  • these kingdoms,
  • and it shall stand for ever.
  • DA-2:45 Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of
  • the mountain
  • without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass,
  • the clay, the
  • silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king
  • what shall
  • come to pass hereafter: and the dream [is] certain, and the
  • interpretation
  • thereof sure.
  • DA-2:46 Then the king Nebuchadnezzar fell upon his face, and
  • worshipped
  • Daniel, and commanded that they should offer an oblation and
  • sweet odours unto
  • him.
  • DA-2:47 The king answered unto Daniel, and said, Of a truth [it
  • is], that
  • your God [is] a God of gods, and a Lord of kings, and a revealer
  • of secrets,
  • seeing thou couldest reveal this secret.
  • DA-2:48 Then the king made Daniel a great man, and gave him
  • many great gifts,
  • and made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon, and chief
  • of the
  • governors over all the wise [men] of Babylon.
  • DA-2:49 Then Daniel requested of the king, and he set Shadrach,
  • Meshach, and
  • Abednego, over the affairs of the province of Babylon: but
  • Daniel [sat] in the
  • gate of the king.
