nasb @Daniel:2:24 @Therefore , Daniel went in to Arioch , whom the king had appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon ; he went and spoke to him as follows - " Do not destroy the wise men of Babylon ! Take me into the king 's presence , and I will declare the interpretation to the king ." nasb @Daniel:2:25 @Then Arioch hurriedly brought Daniel into the king 's presence and spoke to him as follows - "I have found a man among the exiles from Judah who can make the interpretation known to the king !" nasb @Daniel:2:26 @The king said to Daniel , whose name was Belteshazzar , "Are you able to make known to me the dream which I have seen and its interpretation ?" nasb @Daniel:2:27 @Daniel answered before the king and said , "As for the mystery about which the king has inquired , neither wise men , conjurers , magicians nor diviners are able to declare it to the king . nasb @Daniel:2:28 " @However , there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries , and He has made known to King Nebuchadnezzar what will take place in the latter days . This was your dream and the visions in your mind while on your bed . nasb @Daniel:2:29 " @As for you , O king , while on your bed your thoughts turned to what would take place in the future ; and He who reveals mysteries has made known to you what will take place . nasb @Daniel:2:30 " @But as for me , this mystery has not been revealed to me for any wisdom residing in me more than in any other living man , but for the purpose of making the interpretation known to the king , and that you may understand the thoughts of your mind . nasb @Daniel:2:31 " @You , O king , were looking and behold , there was a single great statue ; that statue , which was large and of extraordinary splendor , was standing in front of you , and its appearance was awesome . nasb @Daniel:2:32 " @The head of that statue was made of fine gold , its breast and its arms of silver , its belly and its thighs of bronze , nasb @Daniel:2:33 @its legs of iron , its feet partly of iron and partly of clay . nasb @Daniel:2:34 " @You continued looking until a stone was cut out without hands , and it struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay and crushed them . nasb @Daniel:2:35 " @Then the iron , the clay , the bronze , the silver and the gold were crushed all at the same time and became like chaff from the summer threshing floors ; and the wind carried them away so that not a trace of them was found . But the stone that struck the statue became a great mountain and filled the whole earth . nasb @Daniel:2:36 " @This was the dream ; now we will tell its interpretation before the king . nasb @Daniel:2:37 " @You , O king , are the king of kings , to whom the God of heaven has given the kingdom , the power , the strength and the glory ; nasb @Daniel:2:38 @and wherever the sons of men dwell , or the beasts of the field , or the birds of the sky , He has given them into your hand and has caused you to rule over them all . You are the head of gold . nasb @Daniel:2:39 " @After you there will arise another kingdom inferior to you , then another third kingdom of bronze , which will rule over all the earth . nasb @Daniel:2:40 " @Then there will be a fourth kingdom as strong as iron ; inasmuch as iron crushes and shatters all things , so , like iron that breaks in pieces , it will crush and break all these in pieces . nasb @Daniel:2:41 " @In that you saw the feet and toes , partly of potter 's clay and partly of iron , it will be a divided kingdom ; but it will have in it the toughness of iron , inasmuch as you saw the iron mixed with common clay . nasb @Daniel:2:42 " @As the toes of the feet were partly of iron and partly of pottery , so some of the kingdom will be strong and part of it will be brittle . nasb @Daniel:2:43 " @And in that you saw the iron mixed with common clay , they will combine with one another in the seed of men ; but they will not adhere to one another , even as iron does not combine with pottery . nasb @Daniel:2:44 " @In the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which will never be destroyed , and that kingdom will not be left for another people ; it will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms , but it will itself endure forever . nasb @Daniel:2:45 " @Inasmuch as you saw that a stone was cut out of the mountain without hands and that it crushed the iron , the bronze , the clay , the silver and the gold , the great God has made known to the king what will take place in the future ; so the dream is true and its interpretation is trustworthy ." nasb @Daniel:2:46 @Then King Nebuchadnezzar fell on his face and did homage to Daniel , and gave orders to present to him an offering and fragrant incense . nasb @Daniel:2:47 @The king answered Daniel and said , "Surely your God is a God of gods and a Lord of kings and a revealer of mysteries , since you have been able to reveal this mystery ." nasb @Daniel:2:48 @Then the king promoted Daniel and gave him many great gifts , and he made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon and chief prefect over all the wise men of Babylon . nasb @Daniel:2:49 @And Daniel made request of the king , and he appointed Shadrach , Meshach and Abed-nego over the administration of the province of Babylon , while Daniel was at the king 's court .
