Daniel:4:22-37
Seeker Overlay ON
*
It is thou ,
O king ,
that art grown r @
and become strong t @:
for thy greatness is grown r @,
and reacheth m @
unto heaven ,
and thy dominion to the end of the earth .
*
And whereas the king saw a watcher and an holy one coming down n @
from heaven ,
and saying ,
Hew #
the tree down ,
and destroy it ;
yet leave sh @
the stump of the roots thereof 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 of the field ,
till seven times pass over him ;
*
This is the interpretation ,
O king ,
and this is the decree of the most High ,
which is come m @
upon my lord the king :
*
That they shall drive t @
thee from men ,
and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field ,
and they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen ,
and they shall wet ts @
thee with the dew of heaven ,
and seven times shall pass over thee ,
till thou know y @
that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men ,
and giveth n @
it to whomsoever he will ts @.
*
And whereas they commanded to leave sh @
the stump of the tree roots ;
thy kingdom shall be sure unto thee ,
after that thou shalt have known y @
that the heavens do rule .
*
Wherefore ,
O king ,
let my counsel be acceptable sh @
unto thee ,
and break off p @
thy sins by righteousness ,
and thine iniquities by shewing mercy to the poor ;
if it may be a lengthening of thy tranquillity .
*
All this came m @
upon the king Nebuchadnezzar .
*
At the end of twelve t @
reyn #
months he walked in the palace of the kingdom of Babylon .
*
The king spake ,
and said ,
Is not this huw #
great Babylon ,
that I have built b @
for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power ,
and for the honour of my majesty ?
*
While the word was in the kings mouth ,
there fell n @
a voice from heaven ,
saying ,
O king Nebuchadnezzar ,
to thee it is spoken ;
The kingdom is departed from thee .
*
And they shall drive t @
thee from men ,
and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field :
they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen ,
and seven times shall pass over thee ,
until thou know y @
that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men ,
and giveth n @
it to whomsoever he will ts @.
*
The same hour was the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar :
and he was driven t @
from men ,
and did eat grass as oxen ,
and his body was wet ts @
with the dew of heaven ,
till his hairs were grown r @
like eagles feathers ,
and his nails like birds claws .
*
And at the end of the days I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up n @
mine eyes unto heaven ,
and mine understanding returned unto me ,
and I blessed b @
the most High ,
and I praised sh @
and honoured him that liveth for ever ,
whose dominion is an everlasting dominion ,
and his kingdom is from generation to generation :
*
And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing :
and he doeth according to his will ts @
in the army of heaven ,
and among the inhabitants of the earth :
and none can stay m @
his hand ,
or say unto him ,
What doest thou ?
*
At the same time my reason returned unto me ;
and for the glory of my kingdom ,
mine honour and brightness returned unto me ;
and my counsellors and my lords sought unto me ;
and I was established t @
in my kingdom ,
and excellent majesty was added y @
unto me .
*
Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise sh @
and extol and honour the King of heaven ,
all whose works are truth ,
and his ways judgment :
and those that walk in pride he is able y @
to abase sh @.
