gltv - Daniel:4:1-18

gltv@Daniel:4:1 @ Nebuchadnezzar the king to all the peoples, the nations, and the tongues that dwell in all the earth: Your peace be multiplied.

gltv@Daniel:4:2 @ It seemed good before me to declare the signs and wonders that the Most High God has done with me.

gltv@Daniel:4:3 @ How great are His signs! And how mighty are His wonders! His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and His rule is from generation to generation.

gltv@Daniel:4:4 @ I, Nebuchadnezzar, was at ease in my house, and flourishing in my palace.

gltv@Daniel:4:5 @ I saw a dream, and it terrified me, and the thoughts on my bed and visions of my head troubled me.

gltv@Daniel:4:6 @ So I made a decree to bring in all the wise men of Babylon before me, that they might make known to me the meaning of the dream.

gltv@Daniel:4:7 @ Then the horoscopists, the conjurers, the Chaldeans, and the fortunetellers came in. And I told the dream before them, but they did not make its meaning known to me.

gltv@Daniel:4:8 @ But at last 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 I told the dream before him, saying,

gltv@Daniel:4:9 @ O Belteshazzar, master of the horoscopists, because I now that the spirit of the holy gods is in you, and no secret troubles you, tell me the visions of my dream that I have seen, and its meaning.

gltv@Daniel:4:10 @ As to the visions of my head on my bed, I was looking, and. behold, a tree was in the middle of the earth. And its height was great.

gltv@Daniel:4:11 @ The tree became great and strong, and its height reached to the sky, and its appearance to the end of all the earth.

gltv@Daniel:4:12 @ Its leaves were beautiful, and its fruit plentiful, and food for all was in it. The animals of the field sought shade under it, and the birds of the sky dwelt in its branches, and all flesh was fed from it.

gltv@Daniel:4:13 @ I was looking in the visions of my head on my bed. And, behold, a watcher, even a holy one, came down from the heaven

gltv@Daniel:4:14 @ He cried with might and said this: Cut down the tree and cut off its branches. Shake off its leaves and scatter its fruit. Let the animals flee from under it, and the birds leave its branches.

gltv@Daniel:4:15 @ But leave the stump of its roots in the earth, even with a fetter of iron and bronze, in the grass of the field. And let it be wet with the dew of the heavens, and his portion be with the animals in the grass of the earth.

gltv@Daniel:4:16 @ Let his heart be changed from man's, and let the heart of an animal be given to him. And let seven times pass over him.

gltv@Daniel:4:17 @ This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the command by the word of the holy ones, so that the living may know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men and gives it to whomever He will. And He sets up over it the lowest of men.

gltv@Daniel:4:18 @ I, Nebuchadnezzar, have seen this dream. Now you, O Belteshazzar, declare its meaning, since all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to reveal the meaning to me. But you are able, for the spirit of the holy gods is in you.
