Nebuchadnezzar
the king,
unto all
people,
nations,
and languages,
that dwell
in all
the earth;
Peace
be multiplied
unto you.
I thought
it good
to shew
the signs
and wonders
that the high
God
hath wrought
toward
me.
How
great
are his signs!
and how
mighty
are his wonders!
his kingdom
is an everlasting
kingdom,
and his dominion
is from
generation
to generation.
I
Nebuchadnezzar
was
at rest
in mine house,
and flourishing
in my palace:
I saw
a dream
which made me afraid,
and the thoughts
upon
my bed
and the visions
of my head
troubled
me.
Therefore
made
I
a decree
to bring
in all
the wise
men of Babylon
before
me, that they might make known
unto me the interpretation
of the dream.
Then
came
in the magicians,
the astrologers,
the Chaldeans,
and the soothsayers:
and I
told
the dream
before
them; but they did not
make known
unto me the interpretation
thereof.
But at
the last
Daniel
came in
before me,
whose name
was Belteshazzar,
according to the name
of my god,
and in whom is the spirit
of the holy
gods:
and before
him I told
the dream,
saying,

O Belteshazzar,
master
of the magicians,
because I
know
that the spirit
of the holy
gods
is in thee, and no
secret
troubleth
thee, tell
me the visions
of my dream
that I have seen,
and the interpretation
thereof.

Thus were the visions
of mine head
in
my bed;
I saw,
and behold
a tree
in the midst
of the earth,
and the height
thereof was great.
The tree
grew,
and was strong,
and the height
thereof reached
unto heaven,
and the sight
thereof to the end
of all
the earth:
The leaves
thereof were fair,
and the fruit
thereof much,
and in it was meat
for all:
the beasts
of the field
had shadow
under
it, and the fowls
of the heaven
dwelt
in the boughs
thereof, and all
flesh
was fed
of it.
I saw
in the visions
of my head
upon
my bed,
and, behold,
a watcher
and an holy one
came down
from
heaven;
He cried
aloud,
and said
thus,
Hew down
the tree,
and cut off
his branches,
shake off
his leaves,
and scatter
his fruit:
let the beasts
get away
from
under it,
and the fowls
from
his branches:

Nevertheless

and let it be wet

and let his portion
be with

in the grass
of the earth:

This matter
is by the decree

and the demand

that the living
may know

and giveth

This
dream
I
king
Nebuchadnezzar
have seen.
Now thou,
O Belteshazzar,
declare
the interpretation
thereof, forasmuch as
all
the wise
men of my kingdom
are not
able
to make known
unto me the interpretation:
but thou
art able;
for the spirit
of the holy
gods
is in thee.

Then
Daniel,
whose name
was Belteshazzar,
was astonied
for one
hour,
and his thoughts
troubled
him. The king
spake,
and said,
Belteshazzar,
let not
the dream,
or the interpretation
thereof, trouble
thee. Belteshazzar
answered
and said,
My lord,
the dream
be to them that hate
thee, and the interpretation
thereof to thine enemies.

The tree
that thou sawest,
which grew,
and was strong,
whose height
reached
unto the heaven,
and the sight
thereof to all
the earth;
say
Whose leaves
were fair,
and the fruit
thereof much,
and in it was meat
for all;
under
which the beasts
of the field
dwelt,
and upon whose branches
the fowls
of the heaven
had their habitation:
It is thou,
O king,
that art grown
and become strong:
for thy greatness
is grown,
and reacheth
unto heaven,
and thy dominion
to the end
of the earth.
And whereas the king
saw
a watcher
and an holy one
coming down
from
heaven,
and saying,
Hew
the tree
down,
and destroy
it; yet
leave
the stump
of the roots
thereof in the earth,
even with a band
of iron
and brass,
in the tender grass
of the field;
and let it be wet
with the dew
of heaven,
and let his portion
be with
the beasts
of the field,
till
seven
times
pass
over
him;
This
is the interpretation,
O king,
and this
is the decree
of the most High,
which is come
upon
my lord
the king:
of many days

That they shall drive
thee from
men,
and thy dwelling
shall be

the beasts
of the field,
and they shall make thee to eat
grass
as oxen,
and they shall wet
thee with the dew
of heaven,
and seven
times
shall pass
over
thee, till
thou know
that the most High
ruleth
in the kingdom
of men,
and giveth
it to whomsoever
he will.
And whereas they commanded
to leave
the stump
of the tree
roots;
thy kingdom
shall be sure
unto thee, after
that thou shalt have known
that the heavens
do rule.
Wherefore,
O king,
let my counsel
be acceptable
unto thee,
and break off
thy sins
by righteousness,
and thine iniquities
by shewing mercy
to the poor;
if
it may be
a lengthening
of thy tranquillity.

All
this came
upon
the king
Nebuchadnezzar.

While
the word
was in the king's
mouth,
there fell
a voice
from
heaven,
saying, O king
Nebuchadnezzar,
to thee it is spoken;
The kingdom
is departed
from
thee.
Nabouchodonosor

And they shall drive
thee from
men,
and thy dwelling
shall be with
the beasts
of the field:
they shall make thee to eat
grass

and seven
times
shall pass
over
thee, until
thou know
that the most High
ruleth
in the kingdom
of men,
and giveth
it to whomsoever

The same hour
was the thing
fulfilled
upon
Nebuchadnezzar:
and he was driven
from
men,
and did eat
grass
as oxen,
and his body
was wet
with the dew
of heaven,
till
his hairs
were grown
like eagles'
feathers, and his nails
like birds'
claws.
And at the end
of the days
I
Nebuchadnezzar
lifted up
mine eyes
unto heaven,
and mine understanding
returned
unto me,
and I blessed
the most High,
and I praised
and honoured
him that liveth
for ever,
whose dominion
is an everlasting
dominion,
and his kingdom
is from
generation
to generation:

And all

and he doeth
according to his will
in the army

and among the inhabitants

At the same time
my reason

mine honour
and brightness
returned
unto me;
and my counsellors
and my lords

and I was established

and excellent

Now
I
Nebuchadnezzar
praise

the King
of heaven,
all
whose works
are truth,
and his ways

and those that walk
in pride
he is able
