Daniel:4-6




strkjv@Daniel:4:1 @ Nebuchadnezzar the king, unto all people, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth; Peace be multiplied unto you.

strkjv@Daniel:4:2 @ I thought it good sh@ to shew the signs and wonders that the high God hath wrought toward me.

strkjv@Daniel:4:3 @ 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.

strkjv@Daniel:4:4 @ I Nebuchadnezzar was at rest sh@ in mine house, and flourishing in my palace:

strkjv@Daniel:4:5 @ I saw a dream which made me afraid d@, and the thoughts upon my bed and the visions of my head troubled b@ me.

strkjv@Daniel:4:6 @ 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.

strkjv@Daniel:4:7 @ 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.

strkjv@Daniel:4:8 @ But at the last Daniel came in before me, whose name was Belteshazzar Belt@, 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,

strkjv@Daniel:4:9 @ O Belteshazzar Belt@, master of the magicians, because I know y@ that the spirit of the holy gods is in thee, and no secret troubleth thee, tell me the visions of my dream that I have seen, and the interpretation thereof.

strkjv@Daniel:4:10 @ 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.

strkjv@Daniel:4:11 @ 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:

strkjv@Daniel:4:12 @ 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.

strkjv@Daniel:4:13 @ I saw in the visions of my head upon my bed, and, behold, a watcher and an holy one came down n@ from heaven;

strkjv@Daniel:4:14 @ 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:

strkjv@Daniel:4:15 @ 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:

strkjv@Daniel:4:16 @ 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.

strkjv@Daniel:4:17 @ 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.

strkjv@Daniel:4:18 @ This dream I king Nebuchadnezzar have seen. Now thou, O Belteshazzar Belt@, 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.

strkjv@Daniel:4:19 @ Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar Belt@, was astonied sh@ for one hour, and his thoughts troubled b@ him. The king spake, and said, Belteshazzar Belt@, let not the dream, or the interpretation thereof, trouble b@ thee. Belteshazzar answered and said, My lord, the dream be to them that hate s@ thee, and the interpretation thereof to thine enemies.

strkjv@Daniel:4:20 @ The tree that thou sawest, which grew r@, and was strong t@, whose height reached m@ unto the heaven, and the sight thereof to all the earth;

strkjv@Daniel:4:21 @ Whose leaves were fair, and the fruit thereof much, and in it was meat for all; under which the beasts of the field dwelt, and upon whose branches the fowls of the heaven had their habitation sh@:

strkjv@Daniel:4:22 @ 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.

strkjv@Daniel:4:23 @ 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;

strkjv@Daniel:4:24 @ This is the interpretation, O king, and this is the decree of the most High, which is come m@ upon my lord the king:

strkjv@Daniel:4:25 @ 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@.

strkjv@Daniel:4:26 @ 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.

strkjv@Daniel:4:27 @ 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.

strkjv@Daniel:4:28 @ All this came m@ upon the king Nebuchadnezzar.

strkjv@Daniel:4:29 @ At the end of twelve t@ months he walked in the palace of the kingdom of Babylon.

strkjv@Daniel:4:30 @ The king spake, and said, Is not this 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?

strkjv@Daniel:4:31 @ 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.

strkjv@Daniel:4:32 @ 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@.

strkjv@Daniel:4:33 @ 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.

strkjv@Daniel:4:34 @ 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:

strkjv@Daniel:4:35 @ 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?

strkjv@Daniel:4:36 @ 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.

strkjv@Daniel:4:37 @ 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@.

strkjv@Daniel:5:1 @ Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his lords, and drank sh@ wine before the thousand.

strkjv@Daniel:5:2 @ Belshazzar, whiles he tasted the wine, commanded to bring the golden and silver vessels which his father Nebuchadnezzar had taken n@ out of the temple which was in Jerusalem Y@ruwshalem (Chald); that the king, and his princes, his wives, and his concubines, might drink sh@ therein.

strkjv@Daniel:5:3 @ Then they brought the golden vessels that were taken n@ out of the temple of the house of God which was at Jerusalem Y@ruwshalem (Chald); and the king, and his princes, his wives, and his concubines, drank sh@ in them.

strkjv@Daniel:5:4 @ They drank sh@ wine, and praised sh@ the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone.

strkjv@Daniel:5:5 @ In the same hour came forth n@ fingers of a mans hand, and wrote k@ over against the candlestick upon the plaister of the wall of the kings palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote k@.

strkjv@Daniel:5:6 @ Then the kings countenance was changed sh@, and his thoughts troubled b@ him, so that the joints of his loins were loosed sh@, and his knees smote n@ one against another.

strkjv@Daniel:5:7 @ The king cried q@ aloud to bring in the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers g@. And the king spake, and said to the wise men of Babylon, Whosoever H3606shall read q@ this writing, and shew me the interpretation thereof, shall be clothed l@ with scarlet arg@, and have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall be the third ruler sh@ in the kingdom.

strkjv@Daniel:5:8 @ Then came in all the kings wise men: but they could k@ not read q@ the writing, nor make known y@ to the king the interpretation thereof.

strkjv@Daniel:5:9 @ Then was king Belshazzar greatly troubled b@, and his countenance was changed sh@ in him, and his lords were astonied sh@.

strkjv@Daniel:5:10 @ Now the queen, by reason of the words of the king and his lords, came into the banquet house: and the queen spake and said, O king, live for ever: let not thy thoughts trouble b@ thee, nor let thy countenance be changed sh@:

strkjv@Daniel:5:11 @ There is a man in thy kingdom, in whom is the spirit of the holy gods; and in the days of thy father light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, was found sh@ in him; whom the king Nebuchadnezzar thy father, the king, I say, thy father, made master of the magicians, astrologers, Chaldeans, and soothsayers g@;

strkjv@Daniel:5:12 @ Forasmuch as q@ an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting p@ of dreams, and shewing of hard sentences, and dissolving sh@ of doubts, were found sh@ in the same Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar Belt@: now let Daniel be called q@, and he will shew the interpretation.

strkjv@Daniel:5:13 @ Then was Daniel brought in before the king. And the king spake and said unto Daniel, Art thou that Daniel, which art of the children of the captivity of Judah, whom the king my father brought out of Jewry?

strkjv@Daniel:5:14 @ I have even heard sh@ of thee, that the spirit of the gods is in thee, and that light and understanding and excellent wisdom is found sh@ in thee.

strkjv@Daniel:5:15 @ And now the wise men, the astrologers, have been brought in before me, that they should read q@ this writing, and make known y@ unto me the interpretation thereof: but they could k@ not shew the interpretation of the thing:

strkjv@Daniel:5:16 @ And I have heard sh@ of thee, that thou canst y@ make p@ interpretations, and dissolve sh@ doubts: now if thou canst y@ read q@ the writing, and make known y@ to me the interpretation thereof, thou shalt be clothed l@ with scarlet arg@, and have a chain of gold about thy neck, and shalt be the third ruler sh@ in the kingdom.

strkjv@Daniel:5:17 @ Then Daniel answered and said before the king, Let thy gifts be to thyself, and give y@ thy rewards to another; yet I will read q@ the writing unto the king, and make known y@ to him the interpretation.

strkjv@Daniel:5:18 @ O thou king, the most high God gave y@ Nebuchadnezzar thy father a kingdom, and majesty, and glory, and honour:

strkjv@Daniel:5:19 @ And for the majesty that he gave y@ him, all people, nations, and languages, trembled and feared d@ before him: whom he would ts@ he slew q@; and whom he would ts@ he kept alive ; and whom he would ts@ he set up ; and whom he would ts@ he put down sh@.

strkjv@Daniel:5:20 @ But when his heart was lifted up, and his mind hardened t@ in pride, he was deposed n@ from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him:

strkjv@Daniel:5:21 @ And he was driven t@ from the sons of men; and his heart was made sh@ like the beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild asses: they fed him with grass like oxen, and his body was wet ts@ with the dew of heaven; till he knew y@ that the most high God ruled in the kingdom of men, and that he appointeth over it whomsoever he will ts@.

strkjv@Daniel:5:22 @ And thou his son, O Belshazzar, hast not humbled sh@ thine heart, though thou knewest y@ all this;

strkjv@Daniel:5:23 @ But hast lifted up thyself against the Lord of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of his house before thee, and thou, and thy lords, thy wives, and thy concubines, have drunk sh@ wine in them; and thou hast praised sh@ the gods of silver, and gold, of brass, iron, wood, and stone, which see not, nor hear sh@, nor know y@: and the God in whose hand thy breath is, and whose are all thy ways, hast thou not glorified:

strkjv@Daniel:5:24 @ Then was the part of the hand sent sh@ from him; and this writing was written r@.

strkjv@Daniel:5:25 @ And this is the writing that was written r@, MENE, MENE, TEKEL t@, UPHARSIN p@.

strkjv@Daniel:5:26 @ This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God hath numbered m@ thy kingdom, and finished sh@ it.

strkjv@Daniel:5:27 @ TEKEL t@; Thou art weighed t@ in the balances, and art found sh@ wanting.

strkjv@Daniel:5:28 @ PERES p@; Thy kingdom is divided p@, and given y@ to the Medes and Persians.

strkjv@Daniel:5:29 @ Then commanded Belshazzar, and they clothed l@ Daniel with scarlet arg@, and put a chain of gold about his neck, and made a proclamation k@ concerning him, that he should be the third ruler 07990in the kingdom.

strkjv@Daniel:5:30 @ In that night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain q@.

strkjv@Daniel:5:31 @ And Darius the Median took q@ the kingdom, being about threescore and two years old.

strkjv@Daniel:6:1 @ It pleased sh@ Darius to set over the kingdom an hundred and twenty princes, which should be over the whole kingdom;

strkjv@Daniel:6:2 @ And over these three presidents; of whom Daniel was first: that the princes might give y@ accounts unto them, and the king should have no damage n@.

strkjv@Daniel:6:3 @ Then this Daniel was preferred n@ above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.

strkjv@Daniel:6:4 @ Then the presidents and princes sought to find sh@ occasion against Daniel concerning the kingdom; but they could y@ find sh@ none occasion nor fault sh@; forasmuch as he was faithful, neither was there any error or fault sh@ found sh@ in him.

strkjv@Daniel:6:5 @ Then said these men, We shall not find sh@ any occasion against this Daniel, except we find sh@ it against him concerning the law of his God.

strkjv@Daniel:6:6 @ Then these presidents and princes assembled together r@ to the king, and said thus unto him, King Darius, live for ever.

strkjv@Daniel:6:7 @ All the presidents of the kingdom, the governors, and the princes, the counsellors, and the captains, have consulted together to establish a royal statute, and to make a firm t@ decree, that whosoever shall ask a petition of any God or man for thirty days, save of thee, O king, he shall be cast r@ into the den of lions.

strkjv@Daniel:6:8 @ Now k@, O king, establish the decree, and sign r@ the writing, that it be not changed sh@, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not.

strkjv@Daniel:6:9 @ Wherefore king Darius signed r@ the writing and the decree.

strkjv@Daniel:6:10 @ Now when Daniel knew y@ that the writing was signed r@, he went into his house; and his windows being open p@ in his chamber toward Jerusalem Y@ruwshalem (Chald), he kneeled b@ upon his knees three times a day, and prayed ts@, and gave thanks y@ before his God, as q@ he did aforetime .

strkjv@Daniel:6:11 @ Then these men assembled r@, and found sh@ Daniel praying and making supplication before his God.

strkjv@Daniel:6:12 @ Then they came near q@, and spake before the king concerning the kings decree; Hast thou not signed r@ a decree, that every man that shall ask a petition of any God or man within thirty days, save of thee, O king, shall be cast r@ into the den of lions? The king answered and said, The thing is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not.

strkjv@Daniel:6:13 @ Then answered they and said before the king, That Daniel, which is of the children of the captivity of Judah, regardeth not thee, O king, nor the decree that thou hast signed r@, but maketh his petition three times a day.

strkjv@Daniel:6:14 @ Then the king, when he heard sh@ these words, was sore displeased with himself, and set his heart on Daniel to deliver sh@ him: and he laboured sh@ till the going down of the sun to deliver n@ him.

strkjv@Daniel:6:15 @ Then these men assembled r@ unto the king, and said unto the king, Know y@, O king, that the law of the Medes and Persians is, That no decree nor statute which the king establisheth may be changed sh@.

strkjv@Daniel:6:16 @ Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast r@ him into the den of lions. Now the king spake and said unto Daniel, Thy God whom thou servest p@ continually, he will deliver sh@ thee.

strkjv@Daniel:6:17 @ And a stone was brought, and laid upon the mouth of the den; and the king sealed it with his own signet, and with the signet of his lords; that the purpose might not be changed sh@ concerning Daniel.

strkjv@Daniel:6:18 @ Then the king went to his palace, and passed the night fasting: neither were instruments of musick brought before him: and his sleep went n@ from him.

strkjv@Daniel:6:19 @ Then the king arose very early in the morning, and went in haste b@ unto the den of lions.

strkjv@Daniel:6:20 @ And when he came q@ to the den, he cried with a lamentable voice unto Daniel: and the king spake and said to Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, is thy God, whom thou servest p@ continually, able y@ to deliver sh@ thee from the lions?

strkjv@Daniel:6:21 @ Then said m@ Daniel unto the king, O king, live for ever.

strkjv@Daniel:6:22 @ My God hath sent sh@ his angel, and hath shut c@ the lions mouths, that they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him innocency was found sh@ in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt.

strkjv@Daniel:6:23 @ Then was the king exceeding glad for him, and commanded that they should take Daniel up n@ out of the den. So Daniel was taken up n@ out of the den, and no manner of hurt was found sh@ upon him, because he believed in his God.

strkjv@Daniel:6:24 @ And the king commanded, and they brought those men which had accused Daniel, and they cast r@ them into the den of lions, them, their children, and their wives; and the lions had the mastery H7981 sh@ of them, and brake all their bones in pieces d@ or ever they came m@ at the bottom of the den.

strkjv@Daniel:6:25 @ Then king Darius wrote k@ unto all people, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth; Peace be multiplied s@ unto you.

strkjv@Daniel:6:26 @ I make a decree t@, That in every dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear d@ before the God of Daniel: for he is the living God, and stedfast for ever, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed, and his dominion shall be even unto the end.

strkjv@Daniel:6:27 @ He delivereth sh@ and rescueth n@, and he worketh signs and wonders in heaven and in earth, who hath delivered sh@ Daniel from the power of the lions.

strkjv@Daniel:6:28 @ So this Daniel prospered ts@ in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.

strkjv@Daniel:7:1 @ In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed: then he wrote k@ the dream, and told the sum of the matters.
