bes@Isaiah:38:11 @ I said, I shall no more at all see the salvation of God in the land of the living: I shall no more at all see the salvation of Israel on the earth: I shall no more at all see man.

bes@Isaiah:38:12 @ My life has failed from among my kindred: I have parted with the remainder of my life: it has gone forth and departed from me, as one that having pitched a tent takes it down again: my breath was with me as a weaver’s web, when she that weaves draws nigh to cut off the thread.

bes@Isaiah:38:13 @ In that day I was given up as to a lion until the morning: so has he broken all my bones: for I was so given up from day even to night.

bes@Isaiah:38:14 @ As a swallow, so will I cry, and as a dove, so do I mourn: for mine eyes have failed with looking to the height of heaven to the Lord, who has delivered me,

bes@Isaiah:38:15 @ and removed the sorrow of my soul.

bes@Isaiah:38:16 @ Yea, O Lord, for it was told thee concerning this; and thou hast revived my breath; and I am comforted, and live.

bes@Isaiah:38:18 @ For they that are in the grave shall not praise thee, neither shall the dead bless thee, neither shall they that are in Hades hope for thy mercy.

bes@Isaiah:38:19 @ The living shall bless thee, as I also do: for from this day shall I beget children, who shall declare thy righteousness,

bes@Isaiah:38:20 @ O God of my salvation; and I will not cease blessing thee with the psaltery all the days of my life before the house of God.

bes@Isaiah:39:2 @ And Ezekias was glad of their coming, and he shewed them the house of his spices, and of silver, and gold, and myrrh, and incense, and ointment, and all the houses of his treasures, and all that he had in his stores: and there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, which Ezekias did not shew.

bes@Isaiah:39:3 @ And Esaias the prophet came to king Ezekias, and said to him, What say these men? and whence came they to thee? and Ezekias said, They are come to me from a land afar off, from Babylon.

bes@Isaiah:39:4 @ And Esaias said, What have they seen in thine house? and Ezekias said, They have seen everything in my house; and there is nothing in my house which they have not seen: yea, also the possessions in my treasuries.

bes@Isaiah:40:19 @ Has not the artificer made an image, or the goldsmith having melted gold, gilt it over, and made it a similitude?

bes@Daniel:1:5 @ And the king appointed them a daily portion from the king’s table, and from the wine which he drank; and gave orders to nourish them three years, and that afterwards they should stand before the king.

bes@Daniel:1:6 @ Now these were among them of the children of Juda, Daniel, and Ananias, and Azarias, and Misael.

bes@Daniel:1:7 @ And the chief of the eunuchs gave them names: to Daniel, Baltasar; and to Ananias, Sedrach; and to Misael, Misach; and to Azarias, Abdenago.

bes@Daniel:1:8 @ And Daniel purposed in his heart, that he would not defile himself with the king’s table, nor with the wine of his drink: and he intreated the chief of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.

bes@Daniel:1:9 @ Now God had brought Daniel into favour and compassion with the chief of the eunuchs.

bes@Daniel:1:10 @ And the chief of the eunuchs said to Daniel, I fear my lord the king, who has appointed your meat and your drink, lest he see your countenances gloomy in comparison of the young men your equals; also shall ye endanger my head to the king.

bes@Daniel:1:11 @ And Daniel said to Amelsad, whom the chief of the eunuchs had appointed over Daniel, Ananias, Misael, and Azarias.

bes@Daniel:1:17 @ And (note:)Alex. to these four children(:note) as for these four children, God gave them understanding and prudence in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.

bes@Daniel:1:18 @ And at the end of the days, after which the king had given orders to bring them in, then the chief of the eunuchs brought them in before Nabuchodonosor.

bes@Daniel:2:4 @ And the Chaldeans spoke to the king in the Syrian language, saying, O king, live for ever: do thou tell the dream to thy servants, and we will declare the interpretation.

bes@Daniel:2:5 @ The king answered the Chaldeans, The thing has departed from me: if ye do not make known to me the dream and the interpretation, ye shall be destroyed, and your houses shall be spoiled.

bes@Daniel:2:6 @ But if ye make known to me the dream, and the interpretation thereof, ye shall receive of me gifts and presents and much honour: only tell me the dream, and the interpretation thereof.

bes@Daniel:2:7 @ They answered the second time, and said, Let the king tell the dream to his servants, and we will declare the interpretation.

bes@Daniel:2:8 @ And the king answered and said, I verily know that ye are (note:)Gr. redeeming time; or, watching to buy it; See Eph strkjv@5:16(:note) trying to gain time, because ye see that the thing has gone from me.

bes@Daniel:2:9 @ If then ye do not tell me the dream, I know that ye have concerted to utter before me a false and corrupt tale, until the time shall have past: tell me my dream, and I shall know that ye will also declare to me the interpretation thereof.

bes@Daniel:2:10 @ The Chaldeans answered before the king, and said, There is no man upon the earth, who shall be able to make known the king’s matter: forasmuch as no great king or ruler asks such a question of an enchanter, magician, or Chaldean.

bes@Daniel:2:11 @ For the question which the king asks is difficult, and there is no one else who shall answer it before the king, but the gods, whose dwelling is not with any flesh.

bes@Daniel:2:12 @ Then the king in rage and anger commanded to destroy all the wise men of Babylon.

bes@Daniel:2:13 @ So the decree went forth, and they began to slay the wise men; and they sought Daniel and his fellows to slay them.

bes@Daniel:2:14 @ Then Daniel answered with counsel and prudence to Arioch the (note:)See note on Ge strkjv@39:1(:note) captain of the royal guard, who was gone forth to kill the wise men of Babylon; saying,

bes@Daniel:2:15 @ Chief magistrate of the king, wherefore has the preemptory command proceeded from the king? So Arioch made known the matter to Daniel.

bes@Daniel:2:16 @ And Daniel intreated the king to give him time, and that he might thus declare to the king the interpretation of it.

bes@Daniel:2:17 @ So Daniel went into his house, and made known the matter to Ananias, and Misael, and Azarias, his friends.

bes@Daniel:2:18 @ And they sought mercies from the God of heaven concerning this mystery; that Daniel and his friends might not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.

bes@Daniel:2:19 @ Then the mystery was revealed to Daniel in a vision of the night; and Daniel blessed the God of heaven, and said,

bes@Daniel:2:20 @ May the name of God be blessed from everlasting and to everlasting: for wisdom and understanding are his.

bes@Daniel:2:21 @ And he changes times and seasons: he appoints kings, and removes them, giving wisdom to the wise, and prudence to them that have understanding:

bes@Daniel:2:22 @ he reveals deep and secret matters; knowing what is in darkness, and the light is with him.

bes@Daniel:2:23 @ I give thanks to thee, and praise thee, O God of my fathers, for thou has given me wisdom and power, and has made known to me the things which we asked of thee; and thou has made known to me the king’s vision.

bes@Daniel:2:24 @ And Daniel came to Arioch, whom the king had appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon, and said to him; Destroy not the wise men of Babylon, but bring me in before the king, and I will declare the interpretation to the king.

bes@Daniel:2:25 @ Then Arioch in haste brought in Daniel before the king, and said to him, I have found a man of the children of the captivity of Judea, who will declare the interpretation to the king.

bes@Daniel:2:26 @ And the king answered and said to Daniel, whose name was Baltasar, Canst thou declare to me the dream which I saw, and the interpretation thereof?

bes@Daniel:2:27 @ And Daniel answered before the king, and said, The mystery which the king asks the explanation of is not in the power of the wise men, magicians, enchanters, or soothsayers to declare to the king.

bes@Daniel:2:28 @ But there is a God in heaven revealing mysteries, and he has made known to king Nabuchodonosor what things must come to pass in the last days. Thy dream, and the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are as follows,

bes@Daniel:2:29 @ O king: thy thoughts upon thy bed arose as to what must come to pass hereafter: and he that reveals mysteries has made known to thee what must come to pass.

bes@Daniel:2:30 @ Moreover, this mystery has not been revealed to me by reason of wisdom which is in me beyond all others living, but for the sake of making known the interpretation to the king, that thou mightest know the thoughts of thine heart.

bes@Daniel:2:31 @ Thou, O king, sawest, and behold (note:)Lit. one image(:note) an image: that image was great, and the appearance of it excellent, standing before thy face; and the form of it was terrible.

bes@Daniel:2:32 @ It was an image, the head of which was of fine gold, its hands and breast and arms of silver, its belly and thighs of brass,

bes@Daniel:2:33 @ its legs of iron, its feet, part of iron and part of earthenware.

bes@Daniel:2:34 @ Thou sawest until a stone was cut out of a mountain without hands, and it smote the image upon its feet of iron and earthenware, and utterly reduced them to powder.

bes@Daniel:2:35 @ Then once for all the earthenware, the iron, the brass, the silver, the gold, were ground to powder, and became as (note:)Or, dust, or, cloud of dust(:note) chaff from the summer threshingfloor; and the violence of the wind carried them away, and no place was found for them: and the stone which had smitten the image became a great mountain, and filled all the earth.

bes@Daniel:2:36 @ This is the dream; and we will tell the interpretation thereof before the king.

bes@Daniel:2:37 @ Thou, O king, art a king of kings, to whom the God of heaven has given a powerful and strong and honourable kingdom,

bes@Daniel:2:38 @ in every place where the children of men dwell: and he has given into thine hand the wild beasts of the field, and the birds of the sky and the fish of the sea, and he has made thee lord of all.

bes@Daniel:2:39 @ Thou art the head of gold. And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee, and a third kingdom which is the brass, which shall have dominion over all the earth;

bes@Daniel:2:41 @ And whereas thou sawest the feet and the toes, part of earthenware and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; yet there shall be in (note:)Gr. of the iron root(:note) it of the strength of iron, as thou sawest the iron mixed with earthenware.

bes@Daniel:2:42 @ And whereas the toes of the feet were part of iron and part of earthenware, part of the kingdom shall be strong, and part of it shall be broken.

bes@Daniel:2:43 @ Whereas thou sawest the iron mixed with earthenware, they shall be mingled with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave together, as the iron does not mix itself with earthenware.

bes@Daniel:2:44 @ And in the days of those kings the God of heaven shall set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed: and his kingdom shall not be left to another people, but it shall beat to pieces and grind to powder all other kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.

bes@Daniel:2:45 @ Whereas thou sawest that a stone was cut out of a mountain without hands, and it beat to pieces the earthenware, the iron, the brass, the silver, the gold; the great God has made known to the king what must happen hereafter: and the dream is true, and the interpretation thereof sure.

bes@Daniel:2:46 @ Then king Nabuchodonosor fell upon his face, and worshipped Daniel, and gave orders to offer to him gifts and incense.

bes@Daniel:2:47 @ And the king answered and said to Daniel, Of a truth your God is a God of gods, and Lord of kings, who reveals mysteries; for thou has been able to reveal this mystery.

bes@Daniel:2:48 @ And the king promoted Daniel, and gave him great and abundant gifts, and set him over the whole province of Babylon, and made him chief satrap over all the wise men of Babylon.

bes@Daniel:2:49 @ And Daniel asked of the king, and he appointed Sedrach, Misach, and Abdenago, over the affairs of the province of Babylon: but Daniel was in the king’s palace.

bes@Daniel:3:1 @ In his eighteenth year Nabuchodonosor the king made a golden image, its height was sixty cubits, its breadth six cubits: and he set it up in the plain of Deira, in the province of Babylon.

bes@Daniel:3:2 @ And he sent forth to gather the governors, and the captains, and the heads of provinces, chiefs, and princes, and those who were in authority, and all the rulers of districts, to come to the dedication of the image.

bes@Daniel:3:3 @ So the heads of provinces, the governors, the captains, the chiefs, the great princes, those who were in authority, and all the rulers of districts, were gathered to the dedication of the image which king Nabuchodonosor had set up; and they stood before the image.

bes@Daniel:3:4 @ Then a herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded, ye peoples, tribes, and languages,

bes@Daniel:3:5 @ at what hour ye shall hear the sound of the trumpet, and pipe, and harp, and sackbut, and psaltery, and every kind of music, ye shall fall down and worship the golden image which king Nabuchodonosor has set up.

bes@Daniel:3:6 @ And whosoever shall not fall down and worship, in the same hour he shall be cast into the burning fiery furnace.

bes@Daniel:3:7 @ And it came to pass when the nations heard the sound of the trumpet, and pipe, and harp, and sackbut, and psaltery, and all kinds of music, all the nations, tribes, and languages, fell down and worshipped the golden image which king Nabuchodonosor had set up.

bes@Daniel:3:8 @ Then came near certain Chaldeans, and accused the Jews to the king, saying,

bes@Daniel:3:10 @ Thou, O king, has made a decree that every man who shall hear the sound of the trumpet, and pipe, and harp, sackbut, and psaltery, and all kinds of music,

bes@Daniel:3:11 @ and shall not fall down and worship the golden image, shall be cast into the burning fiery furnace.

bes@Daniel:3:12 @ There are certain Jews whom thou has appointed over the affairs of the province of Babylon, Sedrach, Misach, and Abdenago, who have not obeyed thy decree, O king: they serve not thy gods, and worship not the golden image which thou hast set up.

bes@Daniel:3:13 @ Then Nabuchodonosor in wrath and anger commanded to bring Sedrach, Misach, and Abdenago: and they were brought before the king.

bes@Daniel:3:14 @ And Nabuchodonosor answered and said to them, Is it true, Sedrach, Misach, and Abdenago, that ye serve not my gods, and worship not the golden image which I have set up?

bes@Daniel:3:15 @ Now then if ye be ready, whensoever ye shall hear the sound of the trumpet, and pipe, and harp, and sackbut, and psaltery, and harmony, and every kind of music, to fall down and worship the golden image which I have made; well: but if ye worship not, in the same hour ye shall be cast into the burning fiery furnace; and who is the God that shall deliver you out of my hand?

bes@Daniel:3:16 @ Then answered Sedrach, Misach and Abdenago and said to king Nabuchodonosor, We have no need to answer thee concerning this matter.

bes@Daniel:3:17 @ For our God whom we serve is in the heavens, able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will rescue us from thy hands, O king.

bes@Daniel:3:18 @ But if not, be it known to thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the image which thou hast set up.

bes@Daniel:3:19 @ Then Nabuchodonosor was filled with wrath, and the form of his countenance was changed toward Sedrach, Misach, and Abdenago: and he gave orders to heat the furnace seven times more than usual, until it should burn to the uttermost.

bes@Daniel:3:20 @ And he commanded mighty men to bind Sedrach, Misach, and Abdenago, and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace.

bes@Daniel:3:21 @ Then those men were bound with their (note:)Chaldee word(:note) coats, and caps, and hose, and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace,

bes@Daniel:3:22 @ forasmuch as the king’s word prevailed; and the furnace was made exceeding hot.

bes@Daniel:3:23 @ Then these three men, Sedrach, Misach, and Abdenago, fell bound into the midst of the burning furnace, and walked in the midst of the flame, singing praise to God, and blessing the Lord.

bes@Daniel:3:24 @ And Nabuchodonosor heard them singing praises; and he wondered, and rose up in haste, and said to his nobles, Did we not cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? and they said to the king, Yes, O king.

bes@Daniel:3:25 @ And the king said, But I see four men loose, and walking in the midst of the fire, and (note:)Lit. there is no destruction in them(:note) there has no harm happened to them; and the appearance of the fourth is like the Son of God.

bes@Daniel:3:26 @ Then Nabuchodonosor drew near to the door of the burning fiery furnace, and said, Sedrach, Misach, and Abdenago, ye servants of the most high God, proceed forth, and come hither. So Sedrach, Misach, and Abdenago, came forth out of the midst of the fire.

bes@Daniel:3:27 @ Then were assembled the satraps, and captains, and heads of provinces, and the royal princes; and they saw the men, and perceived that the fire had not had power against their (note:)Gr. singular; compare 1 Co strkjv@6:19.(:note) bodies, and the hair of their head was not burnt, and their coats were not Gr. changed scorched, nor was the smell of fire upon them.

bes@Daniel:3:28 @ And king Nabuchodonosor answered and said, Blessed be the God of Sedrach, Misach, and Abdenago, who has sent his angel, and delivered his servants, because they trusted in him; and they have changed the king’s word, and delivered their bodies to be burnt, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God.

bes@Daniel:3:29 @ Wherefore I publish a decree: Every people, tribe, or language, that shall speak reproachfully against the God of Sedrach, Misach, and Abdenago shall be destroyed, and their houses shall be plundered: because there is no other God who shall be able to deliver thus.

bes@Daniel:3:30 @ Then the king promoted Sedrach, Misach, and Abdenago, in the province of Babylon, and advanced them, and (note:)Or, made, or, pronounced them worthy(:note) gave them authority to rule over all the Jews who were in his kingdom.

bes@Daniel:3:31 @ King Nabuchodonosor to all nations, tribes, and tongues, who dwell in all the earth; Peace be multiplied to you.

bes@Daniel:3:32 @ It seemed good to me to declare to you the signs and wonders which the most high God has wrought with me,

bes@Daniel:3:33 @ how great and mighty they are: his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and his power to all generations.

bes@Daniel:4:2 @ I saw a vision, and it terrified me, and I was troubled on my bed, and the visions of my head troubled me.

bes@Daniel:4:3 @ And I made a decree to bring in before me all the wise men of Babylon, that they might make known to me the interpretation of the dream.

bes@Daniel:4:7 @ I had a vision upon my bed; and behold a tree in the midst of the earth, and its height was great.

bes@Daniel:4:8 @ The tree grew large and strong, and its height reached to the sky, and its extent to the extremity of the whole earth:

bes@Daniel:4:12 @ Only leave the stump of its roots in the earth, and bind it with an iron and brass band; and it shall lie in the grass that is without and in the dew of heaven, and its portion shall be with the wild beasts in the grass of the field.

bes@Daniel:4:13 @ His heart shall be changed from that of man, and the heart of a wild beast shall be given to him; and seven times shall pass over him.

bes@Daniel:4:14 @ The matter is by the decree of the watcher, and the demand is a word of the holy ones; that the living may known that the Lord is most high over the kingdom of men, and he will give it to whomsoever he shall please, and will set up over it that which is set at nought of men.

bes@Daniel:4:15 @ This is the (note:)Gr. dream(:note) vision which I king Nabuchodonosor saw: and do thou, Baltasar, declare the interpretation, for none of the wise men of my kingdom are able to shew me the interpretation of it: but thou, Daniel, art able; for the Holy Spirit of God is in thee.

bes@Daniel:4:16 @ Then Daniel, whose name is Baltasar, was amazed about one hour, and his thoughts troubled him. And Baltasar answered and said, My lord, let the dream be to them that hate thee, and the interpretation of it to thine enemies.

bes@Daniel:5:25 @ And this is the ordered writing, Mane, Thekel, Phares.

bes@Daniel:5:26 @ This is the interpretation of the (note:)Gr. Word(:note) sentence: Mane; God has measured thy kingdom, and Gr. fulfilled it finished it.

bes@Daniel:5:27 @ Thekel; it has been weighed in the balance, and found wanting.

bes@Daniel:5:28 @ Phares; thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.

bes@Daniel:5:29 @ Then Baltasar commanded, and they clothed Daniel with scarlet, and put the golden chain about his neck, and proclaimed concerning him that he was the third ruler in the kingdom.

bes@Daniel:5:30 @ In the same night was Baltasar the Chaldean king slain.

bes@Daniel:5:31 @ And Darius the Mede succeeded to the kingdom, being sixty-two years old.

bes@Daniel:6:1 @ And it pleased Darius, and he set over the kingdom a hundred and twenty satraps, to be in all his kingdom;

bes@Daniel:6:2 @ and over them three governors, of whom one was, Daniel; for the satraps to give account to them, that the king should not be troubled.

bes@Daniel:6:3 @ And Daniel was over them, for there was an excellent spirit in him; and the king set him over all his kingdom.

bes@Daniel:6:4 @ Then the governors and satraps sought to find occasion against Daniel; but they found against him no occasion, nor trespass, nor error, because he was faithful.

bes@Daniel:6:5 @ And the governors said, We shall not find occasion against Daniel, except in the ordinances of his God.

bes@Daniel:6:6 @ Then the governors and satraps stood by the king, and said to him, King Darius, live for ever.

bes@Daniel:6:7 @ All who preside over thy kingdom, captains and satraps, chiefs and local governors, have taken counsel together, to establish by a royal statue and to confirm a decree, that whosoever shall ask a petition of any god or man for thirty days, save of thee, O king, shall be cast into (note:)Gr. pit(:note) the den of lions.

bes@Daniel:6:8 @ Now then, O king, establish the decree, and publish a writ, that the decree of the Persians and Medes be not changed.

bes@Daniel:6:9 @ Then king Darius commanded the decree to be written.

bes@Daniel:6:10 @ And when Daniel knew that the decree was ordered, he went into his house; and his windows were opened in his (note:)Lit. upper chambers(:note) chambers toward Jerusalem, and three times in the day he knelt upon his knees, and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as he used to do before.

bes@Daniel:6:11 @ Then these men watched, and found Daniel praying and supplicating to his God.

bes@Daniel:6:12 @ And they came and said to the king, O king, has thou not made a decree, that whatsoever man shall ask a petition of any god or man for thirty days, but of thee, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions?

bes@Daniel:6:13 @ Then they answered and said before the king, Daniel of the children of the captivity of Judea, has not submitted to thy decree; and three times in the day he makes his requests of his God.

bes@Daniel:6:14 @ Then the king, when he heard the saying, was much grieved for (note:)Gr. «him,’ possibly, «himself’(:note) Daniel and he greatly exerted himself for Daniel to deliver him: and he exerted himself till evening to deliver him.

bes@Daniel:6:15 @ Then those men said to the king, Know, O king, that the law of the Medes and Persians is that we must not change any decree of statue which the king shall make.

bes@Daniel:6:16 @ Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of lions. But the king said to Daniel, Thy God whom thou servest continually, he will deliver thee.

bes@Daniel:6:17 @ And they brought a stone, and put it on the mouth of the den; and the king sealed it with his ring, and with the ring of his nobles; that the case might not be altered with regard to Daniel.

bes@Daniel:6:18 @ And the king departed to his house, and lay down fasting, and they brought him no food; and his sleep departed from him. But God shut the mouths of the lions, and they not molest Daniel.

bes@Daniel:6:19 @ Then the king arose very early in the morning, and came in hast to the den of lions.

bes@Daniel:6:20 @ And when he drew near to the den, he cried with a loud voice, Daniel, servant of the living God, has thy God, whom thou servest continually, been able to deliver thee from the lion’s mouth?

bes@Daniel:6:21 @ And Daniel said to the king, O king, live for ever.

bes@Daniel:6:22 @ My God has sent his angel, and stopped the lions’ mouths, and they have not hurt me: for uprightness was found in me before him; and moreover before thee, O king, I have committed no trespass.

bes@Daniel:6:23 @ Then the king was very glad for him, and he commanded to bring Daniel out of the den. So Daniel was brought out of the den, and there was found no hurt upon him, because he believed in his God.

bes@Daniel:6:24 @ And the king commanded, and they brought the men that had accused Daniel, and they were cast into the den of lions, they, and their children, and their wives: and they reached not the bottom of the den before the lions had the mastery of them, and utterly broke to pieces all their bones.

bes@Daniel:6:25 @ Then king Darius wrote to all nations, tribes, and languages, who dwell in all the earth, saying, Peace be multiplied to you.

bes@Daniel:6:26 @ This decree has been set forth by me in every dominion of my kingdom, that men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel: for he is the living and eternal God, and his kingdom shall not be destroyed, and his dominion is for ever.

bes@Daniel:6:27 @ He helps and delivers, and works signs and wonders in the heaven and on the earth, who has rescued Daniel from the power of the lions.

bes@Daniel:6:28 @ And Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.

bes@Daniel:7:1 @ In the first year of Baltasar, king of the Chaldeans Daniel (note:)Gr. saw(:note) had a dream, and Gr. there were, etc. visions of his head upon his bed: and he wrote his dream.

bes@Daniel:7:2 @ I Daniel beheld, and, lo, the four winds of heaven blew violently upon the great sea.

bes@Daniel:7:3 @ And there came up four great beasts out of the sea, differing from one another.

bes@Daniel:7:4 @ The first was as a lioness, and her wings as an eagle’s; I beheld until her wings were plucked, and she was lifted off from the earth, and she stood on (note:)Gr. feet of a man(:note) human feet, and a man’s heart was given to her.

bes@Daniel:7:5 @ And, behold, a second beast like a bear, and it supported itself on one side, and there were three ribs in its mouth, between its teeth: and thus they said to it, Arise, devour much flesh.

bes@Daniel:7:6 @ After this one I looked, and behold another wild beast as a leopard, and it had four wings of a bird upon it: and the wild beast had four heads, and power was given to it.

bes@Daniel:7:7 @ After this one I looked, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and exceedingly strong, and its teeth were of iron; devouring and crushing to atoms, and it trampled the remainder with its feet: and it was altogether different from the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.

bes@Daniel:7:8 @ I noticed his horns, and behold, another little horn came up in the midst of them, and before it three of the former horns were rooted out: and, behold, there were eyes as the eyes of a man in this horn, and a mouth speaking great things.

bes@Daniel:7:9 @ I beheld until the thrones were set, and the Ancient of days sat; and his raiment was white as snow, and the hair of his head, as pure wool: his throne was a flame of fire, and his wheels burning fire.

bes@Daniel:7:10 @ A stream of fire (note:)Lit. drew(:note) rushed forth before him: thousand thousands ministered to him, and ten thousands of myriads, attended upon him: the judgement sat, and the books were opened.

bes@Daniel:7:11 @ I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which that horn spoke, until the wild beast was slain and destroyed, and his body given (note:)Gr. to the burning of fire(:note) to be burnt with fire.

bes@Daniel:7:12 @ And the dominion of the rest of the wild beasts was taken away; but a prolonging of life was given them for (note:)Lit. time and time(:note) certain times.

bes@Daniel:7:13 @ I beheld in the night vision, and, lo, one coming with the clouds of heaven as the Son of man, and he came on to the Ancient of days, and was brought near to him.

bes@Daniel:7:14 @ And to him was given the dominion, and the honour, and the kingdom; and all nations, tribes, and languages, shall serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom shall not be destroyed.

bes@Daniel:7:15 @ As for me Daniel, my spirit in my body trembled, and the visions of my head troubled me.

bes@Daniel:7:16 @ And I drew near to one of them that stood by, and I sought to learn of him the (note:)Or, certainty(:note) truth of all these things: and he told me the truth, and made known to me the interpretation of the things.

bes@Daniel:7:17 @ These four beasts are four kingdoms that shall rise up on the earth:

bes@Daniel:7:18 @ which shall be taken away; and the saints of the Most High shall take the kingdom, and possess it for ever and ever.

bes@Daniel:7:19 @ Then I enquired carefully concerning the fourth beast; for it differed from every other beast, exceeding dreadful: its teeth were of iron, and its claws of brass, devouring, and utterly breaking to pieces, and it trampled the remainder with its feet:

bes@Daniel:7:20 @ and concerning it ten horns that were in its head, and the other that came up, and rooted up (note:)Alex. three of the former, even that horn, etc.(:note) some of the former, which had eyes, and a mouth speaking great things, and his look was Gr. greater bolder than the rest.

bes@Daniel:7:21 @ I beheld, and that horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;

bes@Daniel:7:22 @ until the Ancient of days came, and he gave judgement to the saints of the Most High; and the time came on, and the saints possessed the kingdom.

bes@Daniel:7:23 @ And he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom on the earth, which shall excel all other kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and trample and (note:)Gr. cut it in pieces(:note) destroy it.

bes@Daniel:7:24 @ And his ten horns are ten kings that shall arise: and after them shall arise another, who shall exceed all the former ones in (note:)Gr. evil(:note) wickedness and he shall subdue three kings.

bes@Daniel:7:25 @ And he shall speak words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the Most High, and shall think to change times and law: and power shall be given into his hand for a time and times and half a time.

bes@Daniel:7:26 @ And the judgement (note:)Alex. shall sit(:note) has sat, and they shall remove his dominion to abolish it, and to destroy it utterly.

bes@Daniel:7:27 @ And the kingdom and the power and the greatness of the kings that are under the whole heaven were given to the saints of the Most High; and his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all powers shall serve and obey him.

bes@Daniel:7:28 @ Hitherto is the end of the matter. As for me Daniel, my thoughts greatly troubled me, and my countenance was changed: but I kept the (note:)Lit. word(:note) matter in my heart.

bes@Daniel:8:1 @ In the third year of the reign of king Baltasar a vision appeared to me, even to me Daniel, after that which appeared to me at the first.

bes@Daniel:8:2 @ And I was in Susa the palace, which is in the land of Ælam, and I was on the bank of Ubal.

bes@Daniel:8:3 @ And I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, (note:)Gr. one ram(:note) a ram standing in front of the Ubal; and he had high horns; and one was higher than the other, and the high one came up Lit. at the last place last.

bes@Daniel:8:4 @ And I saw the ram butting westward, and northward, and southward; and no beast could stand before him, and there was none (note:)Gr. delivering(:note) that could deliver out of his hand; and he did according to his will, and became great.

bes@Daniel:8:5 @ And I was considering, and, behold, a (note:)Gr. he-goat of the goats(:note) he-goat came from the south-west on the face of the whole earth, and touched not the earth: and the goat had a Alex. notable horn horn between his eyes.

bes@Daniel:8:6 @ And he came to the ram that had the horns, which I had seen standing in front of the Ubal, and he ran at him with the (note:)Or, impetus(:note) violence of his strength.

bes@Daniel:8:7 @ And I saw him coming up close to the ram, and he was furiously enraged against him, and he smote the ram, and broke both his horns: and there was no strength in the ram to stand before him, but he cast him on the ground, and trampled on him; and there was none (note:)Gr. delivering(:note) that could deliver the ram out of his hand.

bes@Daniel:8:8 @ And the he-goat grew exceedingly great: and when he was strong, his great horn was broken; and four other horns rose up (note:)Gr. under him, see 2 Sa strkjv@2:23(:note) in its place toward the four winds of heaven.

bes@Daniel:8:9 @ And out of one of them came forth one strong horn, and it grew very great toward the south, and toward the host:

bes@Daniel:8:10 @ and it (note:)Or, grew great(:note) magnified itself to the host of heaven; and there fell to the earth some of the host of heaven and of the stars, and they trampled on them.

bes@Daniel:8:11 @ And this shall be until the chief captain shall have delivered the captivity: and by reason of him the sacrifice was disturbed, and he prospered; and the holy place shall be made desolate.

bes@Daniel:8:12 @ And a sin-offering was given for the sacrifice, and righteousness was cast down to the ground; and (note:)Or, «he,’ see verse 11(:note) it practised, and prospered.

bes@Daniel:8:13 @ And I heard one saint speaking, and a saint said to (note:)Hebrews. Palmoni, see Ru strkjv@4:1.(:note) a certain one speaking, How long shall the vision Lit. the sacrifice that has been removed, and the sin of desolation that has been given continue, even the removal of the sacrifice, and the bringing in of the sin of desolation; and how long shall the sanctuary and host be trampled?

bes@Daniel:8:14 @ And he said to him, Evening and morning there shall be two thousand and (note:)Alex. 300(:note) four hundred days; and then the sanctuary shall be cleansed.

bes@Daniel:8:15 @ And it came to pass, as I, even I Daniel, saw the vision, and sought to understand it, that, behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man.

bes@Daniel:8:16 @ And I heard the voice of a man (note:)Or, between me and the Ubal(:note) between the banks of the Ubal; and he called, and said, Gabriel, cause that man to understand the vision.

bes@Daniel:8:17 @ And he came and stood near where I stood: and when he came, I was struck with awe, and fell upon my face: but he said to me, Understand, son of man: for yet the vision is for (note:)Gr. an end of time(:note) an appointed time.

bes@Daniel:8:18 @ And while he spoke with me, I fell upon my face to the earth: and he touched me, and set me on my feet.

bes@Daniel:8:19 @ And he said, Behold, I make thee know the things that shall come to pass at the end of the wrath: for the vision is yet for an appointed time.

bes@Daniel:8:20 @ The ram which thou sawest that had the horns is the king of the Medes and Persians.

bes@Daniel:8:21 @ The he-goat is the King of the Greeks: and the great horn which was between his eyes, he is the first king.

bes@Daniel:8:22 @ And as for the one that was broken, in whose place there stood up four horns, four kings shall arise out of his nation, but not in their own strength.

bes@Daniel:8:23 @ And at the latter time of their kingdom, when their sins are coming to the full, there shall arise a king bold in countenance, and understanding riddles.

bes@Daniel:8:24 @ And his power shall be great, and he shall destroy wonderfully, and prosper, and practise, and shall destroy mighty men, and the holy people.

bes@Daniel:8:25 @ And the yoke of his chain shall prosper: there is craft in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by craft shall destroy many, and he shall stand up for the destruction of many, and shall crush them as eggs in his hand.

bes@Daniel:8:26 @ And the vision of the evening and morning that was mentioned is true: and do thou seal the vision; for it is for many days.

bes@Daniel:8:27 @ And I Daniel fell asleep, and was sick: then I arose, and did the king’s business; and I wondered at the vision, and there was none that understood it.

bes@Daniel:9:1 @ In the first year of Darius the son of Assuerus, of the seed of the Medes, who reigned over the kingdom of the Chaldeans,

bes@Daniel:9:2 @ I Daniel understood by books the number of the years which was the word of the Lord to the prophet Jeremias, even seventy years for the accomplishment of the desolation of Jerusalem.

bes@Daniel:9:3 @ And I set my face toward the Lord God, to seek him diligently by prayer and supplications, with fastings and sackcloth.

bes@Daniel:9:4 @ And I prayed to the Lord my God, and confessed, and said, O Lord, the great and wonderful God, keeping thy covenant and thy mercy to them that love thee, and to them that keep thy commandments; we have sinned,

bes@Daniel:9:6 @ and we have not hearkened to thy servants the prophets, who spoke in thy name to our kings, and our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land.

bes@Daniel:9:8 @ In thee, O Lord, is our righteousness, and to us belongs confusion of faced, and to our kings, and to our princes, and to our fathers, forasmuch as we have sinned.

bes@Daniel:9:9 @ To thee, the Lord our God, belong compassions and forgivenesses, whereas we have departed from thee;

bes@Daniel:9:10 @ neither have we hearkened to the voice of the Lord our God, to walk in his laws, which he set before us by the hands of his servants the prophets.

bes@Daniel:9:11 @ Moreover all Israel have transgressed thy law, and have (note:)Gr. turned aside from hearkening(:note) refused to hearken to thy voice; so the curse has come upon us, and the oath that is written in the law of Moses the servant of God, because we have sinned against him.

bes@Daniel:9:12 @ And he has confirmed his words, which he spoke against us, and against our judges who judged us, by bringing upon us great evils, such as have not happened under the whole heaven, according to what has happened in Jerusalem.

bes@Daniel:9:13 @ As it is written in the law of Moses, all these evils have come upon us: yet we have not besought the Lord our God, that we might turn away from our iniquities, and have understanding in all thy truth.

bes@Daniel:9:14 @ The Lord also has watched, and brought (note:)Gr. them(:note) the evils upon us: for the Lord our God is righteous Gr. over in all his work which he has executed, but we have not hearkened to his voice.

bes@Daniel:9:15 @ And now, O Lord our God, who broughtest thy people out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and madest to thyself a name, as at this day; we have sinned, we have transgressed.

bes@Daniel:9:16 @ O Lord, (note:)Compare Hebrews. and Ho strkjv@6:5(:note) thy mercy is over all: let, I pray thee, thy wrath turn away, and thine anger from thy city Jerusalem, even thy holy mountain: for we have sinned, and because of our iniquities, and those of our fathers, Jerusalem and thy people are become a reproach among all that are round about us.

bes@Daniel:9:17 @ And now, O lord our God, hearken to the prayer of thy servant, and his supplications, and cause thy face to shine on thy desolate sanctuary, for thine own sake, O Lord.

bes@Daniel:9:18 @ Incline thine ear, O my God, and hear; open thine eyes and behold our desolation, and that of thy city on which thy name is called: for we do not bring (note:)Gr. our supplication(:note) our pitiful case before thee on the ground of our righteousness, but on the ground of thy manifold compassions, O Lord.
