Daniel 4:1-6 ▼

1 I, Nebuchadnezzar, was at home in my palace, content and prosperous.

2 I had a terrifying dream as I lay in bed, and the images and my visions frightened me.

3 So I issued a decree that all the wise men of Babylon should be brought before me to give the interpretation of the dream.

4 When the magicians, enchanters, Chaldeans, and diviners had come in, I related the dream before them; but none of them could tell me its meaning.

5 Finally there came before me Daniel, whose name is Belteshazzar after the name of my god, and in whom is a spirit of the holy gods. I repeated the dream to him:

6 “Belteshazzar, chief of the magicians, I know that a spirit of the holy gods is in you and no mystery is too difficult for you; this is the dream that I saw, tell me its meaning.
