And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams; and his spirit was troubled, and his sleep went from him. |

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. |
|
2:2
Then the king commanded to call the magicians, and the enchanters, and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans, to tell the king his dreams. So they came in and stood before the king. |
|
2:2
Then the king°
commanded°°
to call°°
the magicians,°
and the astrologers,°
and the sorcerers,°°
and the Chaldeans,°
for to shew°°
the king°
his dreams.°
So they came°°
and stood°°
before°
the king.° |
|
2:3
And the king said unto them, I have dreamed a dream, and my spirit is troubled to know the dream. |
|
2:3
And the king°
said°°
unto them, I have dreamed°°
a dream,°
and my spirit°
was troubled°°
to know°°°
the dream.° |
|
2:4
Then spake the Chaldeans to the king in the Syrian language, O king, live for ever: tell thy servants the dream, and we will show the interpretation. |
|
2:4
Then spake°°
the Chaldeans°
to the king°
in Syriack,°
O king,°
live°°
for ever:°
tell°°
thy servants°
the dream,°
and we will shew°°
the interpretation.° |
|
2:5
The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, The thing is gone from me: if ye make not known unto me the dream and the interpretation thereof, ye shall be cut in pieces, and your houses shall be made a dunghill. |
|
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.° |
|
2:6
But if ye show the dream and the interpretation thereof, ye shall receive of me gifts and rewards and great honor: therefore show me the dream and the interpretation thereof. |
|
2:6
But if°
ye shew°°
the dream,°
and the interpretation°
thereof, ye shall receive°°
of°°
me°
gifts°
and rewards°
and great°
honour:°
therefore°
shew°°
me the dream,°
and the interpretation°
thereof. |
|
2:7
They answered the second time and said, Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will show the interpretation. |
|
2:7
They answered°°
again°
and said,°°
Let the king°
tell°°
his servants°
the dream,°
and we will shew°°
the interpretation°
of it. |
|
2:8
The king answered and said, I know of a certainty that ye would gain time, because ye see the thing is gone from me. |
|
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. |
|
2:9
But if ye make not known unto me the dream, there is but one law 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. |
|
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 shew°°
me the interpretation°
thereof. |
|
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, forasmuch as no king, lord, or ruler, hath asked such a thing of any magician, or enchanter, or Chaldean. |
|
2:10 ¶
The Chaldeans°
answered°°
before°
the king,°
and said,°°
There is°
not°
a man°
upon°
the earth°
that°
can°°
shew°°
the king's°
matter:°
therefore°°°
[there is] no°°
king,°
lord,°
nor ruler,°
[that] asked°°
such°
things°°
at any°
magician,°
or astrologer,°
or Chaldean.° |
|
2:11
And it is a rare thing that the king requireth, and there is no other that can show it before the king, except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh. |
|
2:11
And [it is] a rare°
thing°
that°
the king°
requireth,°°
and there is°
none°
other°
that°
can shew°°
it before°
the king,°
except°
the gods,°
whose°
dwelling°
is°
not°
with°
flesh.° |
|
2:12
For this cause the king was angry and very furious, and commanded to destroy all the wise men of Babylon. |
|
2:12
For°
this°
cause°°°
the king°
was angry°°
and very°
furious,°°
and commanded°°
to destroy°°
all°
the wise°
[men] of Babylon.° |
|
2:13
So the decree went forth, and the wise men were to be slain; and they sought Daniel and his companions to be slain. |
|
2:13
And the decree°
went forth°°
that the wise°
[men] should be slain;°°
and they sought°°
Daniel°
and his fellows°
to be slain.°° |
|
2:14 ¶
Then Daniel returned answer with counsel and prudence to Arioch the captain of the king's guard, who was gone forth to slay the wise men of Babylon; |
|
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:° |
|
2:15
he answered and said to Arioch the king's captain, Wherefore is the decree so urgent from the king? Then Arioch made the thing known to Daniel. |
|
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.° |
|
2:16
And Daniel went in, and desired of the king that he would appoint him a time, and he would show the king the interpretation. |
|
2:16
Then Daniel°
went in,°°
and desired°°
of°
the king°
that°
he would give°°
him time,°
and that he would shew°°
the king°
the interpretation.° |
|
2:17
Then Daniel went to his house, and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions: |
|
2:17
Then°
Daniel°
went°°
to his house,°
and made the thing°
known°°°
to Hananiah,°
Mishael,°
and Azariah,°
his companions:° |
|
2:18
that they would desire mercies of the God of heaven concerning this secret; that Daniel and his companions should nor perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon. |
|
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.° |
|
2:19 ¶
Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a vision of the night. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven. |
|
2:19 ¶
Then°
was the secret°
revealed°°
unto Daniel°
in a night°°
vision.°
Then°
Daniel°
blessed°°
the God°
of heaven.° |
|
2:20
Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever; for wisdom and might are his. |
|
2:20
Daniel°
answered°°
and said,°°
Blessed°°
be°°
the name°
of°
God°
for°
ever°
and ever:°°°
for°
wisdom°
and might°
are°
his: |
|
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 have understanding; |
|
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:° |
|
2:22
he revealeth the deep and secret things; he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him. |
|
2:22
He°
revealeth°°
the deep°
and secret things:°°
he knoweth°°
what°
[is] in the darkness,°
and the light°
dwelleth°°
with°
him.° |
|
2:23
I thank thee, and praise thee, O thou God of my fathers, who hast given me wisdom and might, and hast now made known unto me what we desired of thee; for thou hast made known unto us the king's matter. |
|
2:23
I°
thank°°
thee, and praise°°
thee, O thou God°
of my fathers,°

|
2:24 ¶
Therefore Daniel went in unto Arioch, whom the king had appointed 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. |
|
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 shew°°
unto the king°
the interpretation.° |
|
2:25
Then Arioch brought in Daniel before the king in haste, and said thus unto him, I have found a man of the children of the captivity of Judah, that will make known unto the king the interpretation. |
|
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.° |
|
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? |
|
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? |
|
2:27
Daniel answered before the king, and said, The secret which the king hath demanded can neither wise men, enchanters, magicians, nor soothsayers, show unto the king; |
|
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,°°
shew°°
unto the king;° |
|
2:28
but there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets, and he hath made 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: |
|
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;° |
|
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 hath made known to thee what shall come to pass. |
|
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.°° |
|
2:30
But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for any wisdom that I have more than any living, but to the intent that the interpretation may be made known to the king, and that thou mayest know the thoughts of thy heart. |
|
2:30
But as for me,°
this°
secret°
is not°
revealed°°
to me for [any] wisdom°
that°
I have°
more than°
any°

but°
for [their] sakes°°

the interpretation°
to the king,°
and that thou mightest know°°
the thoughts°
of thy heart.° |
|
2:31 ¶
Thou, O king, sawest, and, behold, a great image. This image, which was mighty, and whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee; and the aspect thereof was terrible. |
|
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.°° |
|
2:32
As for this image, its head was of fine gold, its breast and its arms of silver, its belly and its thighs of brass, |
|
2:32
This°
image's°
head°
[was] of°
fine°
gold,°
his breast°
and his arms°
of°
silver,°
his belly°
and his thighs°
of°
brass,° |
|
2:33
its legs of iron, its feet part of iron, and part of clay. |
|
2:33
His legs°
of°
iron,°
his feet°
part°
of°
iron°
and part°
of°
clay.° |
|
2:34
Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon its feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them in pieces. |
|
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.°°° |
|
2:35
Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken in pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing-floors; and the wind carried them away, so that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth. |
|
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.° |
|
2:36 ¶
This is the dream; and we will tell the interpretation thereof before the king. |
|
2:36 ¶
This°
[is] the dream;°
and we will tell°°
the interpretation°
thereof before°
the king.° |
|
2:37
Thou, O king, art king of kings, unto whom the God of heaven hath given the kingdom, the power, and the strength, and the glory; |
|
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.° |
|
2:38
and wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field and the birds of the heavens hath he given into thy hand, and hath made thee to rule over them all: thou art the head of gold. |
|
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.° |
|
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. |
|
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.° |
|
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 crusheth all these, shall it break in pieces and crush. |
|
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.°° |
|
2:41
And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, it shall be a divided kingdom; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay. |
|
2:41
And whereas°
thou sawest°°
the feet°
and toes,°
part°
of°
potters'°
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.° |
|
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. |
|
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.°° |
|
2:43
And whereas thou sawest the 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 doth not mingle with clay. |
|
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.° |
|
2:44
And in the days of those kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed, nor shall the sovereignty thereof be left to another people; but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever. |
|
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.° |
|
2:45
Forasmuch as thou sawest that a 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. |

Then the king Nebuchadnezzar fell upon his face, and worshipped Daniel, and commanded that they should offer an oblation and sweet odors unto him. |

2:47
The king answered unto Daniel, and said, Of a truth your God is the God of gods, and the Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, seeing thou hast been able to reveal this secret. |
|
2:47
The king°
answered°°
unto Daniel,°
and said,°°
Of°
a truth°
[it is], that°
your God°

Then the king made Daniel great, and gave him many great gifts, and made him to rule over the whole province of Babylon, and to be chief governor over all the wise men of Babylon. |

2:48
Then°
the king°
made°°
Daniel°
