Daniel 4:1-9 ▼

1 Nebuchadnezzar the king to all peoples, nations and tongues, that dwell in all the earth, your peace shall become great.

2 The signs and wonders that the most high God made with me, it was pleasant before me to show.

3 His signs, how many! and his wonders, how mighty! his kingdom, an eternal kingdom, and his dominion with generation and generation.

4 I Nebuchadnezzar, was secure in my house, and green in my temple:

5 I saw a dream, and it will terrify me; and the conceptions upon my bed and the visions of my head, will cause me to tremble.

6 And an edict being set from me to bring up before me to all the wise of Babel, that they shall make known to me the interpretation of the dream.

7 At that time the sacred scribes, the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the diviners, coming in: and I told the dream before them: and its interpretation they making not known to me.

8 And even at last Daniel came up before me, whose name Belteshazzar, according to the name of my god, and the spirit of the holy gods in him: and before him I told the dream:

9 O Belteshazzar, leader of the sacred scribes, for I knew that the spirit of the holy gods is in thee, and my secret pressed not upon thee; the visions of my dream that I saw, and its interpretation, say thou.
