gltv - Daniel:2:1-23

gltv@Daniel:2:1 @ And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar was dreaming dreams, and his spirit was troubled, and his sleep was finished on him.

gltv@Daniel:2:2 @ And the king said to call to the horoscopists, and to the conjurers, and to the sorcerers and to the Chaldeans, to tell to the king his dreams. And they came and stood before the king.

gltv@Daniel:2:3 @ And the king said to them, I have dreamed a dream, and my spirit was troubled to know the dream.

gltv@Daniel:2:4 @ And the Chaldeans spoke to the king in Aramaic: O king, live forever! Tell your servants the dream, and we will reveal the meaning.

gltv@Daniel:2:5 @ The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, The word is certainly gone from me. If you will not make known the dream and its meaning to me, you will be made into mere members, and your houses shall be made an outhouse.

gltv@Daniel:2:6 @ But if you make known the dream, you shall receive gifts and a present and great honor from before me. Therefore, reveal the dream and its meaning to me.

gltv@Daniel:2:7 @ They again replied and said, Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will reveal its meaning.

gltv@Daniel:2:8 @ The king answered and said, For I know that you buy time, that on account of all, you see the thing is certainly gone from me.

gltv@Daniel:2:9 @ But if you will not make the dream known to me, there is one law for you. For you have agreed upon lying and deceiving words to speak before me until the time has changed. Therefore, tell me the dream, then I shall know that you can reveal the meaning to me.

gltv@Daniel:2:10 @ The Chaldeans replied before the king and said, There is not a man on the earth who can reveal the king's matter, because not any king, lord, or ruler has asked such a thing from any horoscopist, or conjurer, or Chaldean.

gltv@Daniel:2:11 @ And the thing that the king asks is rare. And there is no other who may reveal it before the king, except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh.

gltv@Daniel:2:12 @ Then the king was enraged and angered. And he commanded all the wise men of Babylon to be destroyed.

gltv@Daniel:2:13 @ And the law went out that the wise men should be killed. And they looked for and his companions, to be killed.

gltv@Daniel:2:14 @ Then answered with counsel and insight to Arioch the chief of the king's bodyguard, who had gone out to kill the wise men of Babylon.

gltv@Daniel:2:15 @ He answered and said to Arioch, the king's officer, Why is the decree so hasty from before the king? And Arioch made the thing known to Daniel.

gltv@Daniel:2:16 @ And went in and asked of the king that he would give him time, and he would show the king the meaning.

gltv@Daniel:2:17 @ Then went to his house and declared the thing to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions,

gltv@Daniel:2:18 @ that they might pray for the mercies of God in Heaven about this secret, that and his companions should not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.

gltv@Daniel:2:19 @ Then the secret was revealed to in a night vision, and blessed the God of Heaven.

gltv@Daniel:2:20 @ answered and said, Blessed be the name of God forever and ever, for wisdom and might are His.

gltv@Daniel:2:21 @ And He changes the times and the seasons; He causes to pass away kings, and sets up kings; He gives wisdom to the wise, and knowledge to those who know understanding.

gltv@Daniel:2:22 @ He reveals the deep and secret things; He knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells in Him.

gltv@Daniel:2:23 @ I thank You and praise You, O God of my fathers, who has given me wisdom and might, and has made me know what we ask of You. For You have revealed to us the king's matter.
