* Nebuchadnezzar the king , unto all people , nations , and languages , that dwell in all the earth ; Peace be multiplied unto you . * I thought it good sh @ 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 sh @ in mine house , and flourishing in my palace : * I saw a dream which made me afraid d @, and the thoughts upon my bed and the visions of my head troubled b @ me . * Therefore # made I a decree to bring in all the wise men of Babylon before me , that they might make known y @ unto me the interpretation of the dream . * Then came in the magicians , the astrologers , the Chaldeans , and the soothsayers g @: and I told the dream before them ; but they did not make known y @ unto me the interpretation thereof . * But at the last Daniel came in before me , whose name was Belteshazzar Belt @sha #tstsar #, 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 Belt @sha #tstsar #, master of the magicians , because I know y @ that the spirit of the holy gods is in thee , and no kol # 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 r @, and was strong t @, and the height thereof reached m @ 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 t @ 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 n @ from heaven ; * He cried q @ aloud , and said thus , Hew down the tree , and cut off q @ his branches , shake off n @ his leaves , and scatter b @ his fruit : let the beasts get away from under it , and the fowls from his branches : * Nevertheless leave sh @ the stump of his roots in the earth , even with a band of iron and brass , in the tender grass of the field ; and let it be wet ts @ with the dew of heaven , and let his portion be with the beasts in the grass of the earth : * Let his heart be changed sh @ from mans , and let a beasts heart be given y @ unto him ; and let seven times pass over him . * This matter is by the decree of the watchers , and the demand by the word of the holy ones : to the intent that the living may know y @ that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men , and giveth n @ it to whomsoever he will ts @, and setteth up over it the basest of men . * This dream I king Nebuchadnezzar have seen . Now thou , O Belteshazzar Belt @sha #tstsar #, declare the interpretation thereof , forasmuch as all the wise men of my kingdom are not able y @ to make known y @ unto me the interpretation : but thou art able k @; for the spirit of the holy gods is in thee .
