geneva@Daniel:4:4 @ I Nebuchadnezzar was at (note:)There was no trouble that might cause me to dream, and therefore it came only from God.(:note) rest in mine house, and flourishing in my palace:

geneva@Daniel:4:5 @ I saw a (note:)This was another dream besides that which he saw of the four empires, for Daniel both declared what that dream was, and what it meant, and here he expounds this dream.(:note) dream which made me afraid, and the thoughts upon my bed and the visions of my head troubled me.

geneva@Daniel:4:6 @ {\cf2 (4:3)} Therefore made I a decree, that they should bring all the wise men of Babel before mee, that they might declare vnto me the interpretation of the dreame.

geneva@Daniel:4:7 @ Then came in the magicians, the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers: and I told the dream before them; but (note:)In that he sent abroad to others, whose ignorance in times past he had experienced, and left Daniel who was ever ready at hand, it declares the nature of the ungodly, who never seek for the servants of God unless they absolutely have to, and then they flatter to a great extent.(:note) they did not make known unto me the interpretation thereof.

geneva@Daniel:4:8 @ But at the last Daniel came in before me, whose name [was] (note:)This no doubt was a great grief to Daniel not only to have his name changed, but to be called by the name of a vile idol, which thing Nebuchadnezzar did to make him forget the true religion of God.(:note) Belteshazzar, 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],

geneva@Daniel:4:9 @ O Belteshazzar, (note:)Which also was a great grief to the Prophet, to be numbered among the sorcerers and men whose practices were wicked and contrary to God's word.(:note) master of the magicians, because I know 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.

geneva@Daniel:4:10 @ Thus [were] the visions of mine head in my bed; I saw, and behold a (note:)By the tree is signified the dignity of a king whom God ordains to be a defence for every type of man, and whose state is profitable for mankind.(:note) tree in the midst of the earth, and the height thereof [was] great.

geneva@Daniel:4:12 @ {\cf2 (4:9)} The boughes thereof were faire & the fruite thereof much, and in it was meate for all: it made a shadow vnder it for the beastes of the fielde, and the foules of the heauen dwelt in the boughes thereof, and all flesh fedde of it.
