rsv@Daniel:1:5 @ The king assigned them a daily portion of the rich food which the king ate, and of the wine which he drank. They were to be educated for three years, and at the end of that time they were to stand before the king.
rsv@Daniel:1:6 @ Among these were Daniel, Hanani'ah, Mish'a-el, and Azari'ah of the tribe of Judah.
rsv@Daniel:1:7 @ And the chief of the eunuchs gave them names: Daniel he called Belteshaz'zar, Hanani'ah he called Shadrach, Mish'a-el he called Meshach, and Azari'ah he called Abed'nego.
rsv@Daniel:1:8 @ But Daniel resolved that he would not defile himself with the king's rich food, or with the wine which he drank; therefore he asked the chief of the eunuchs to allow him not to defile himself.
rsv@Daniel:1:9 @ And God gave Daniel favor and compassion in the sight of the chief of the eunuchs;
rsv@Daniel:1:10 @ and the chief of the eunuchs said to Daniel, "I fear lest my lord the king, who appointed your food and your drink, should see that you were in poorer condition than the youths who are of your own age. So you would endanger my head with the king."
rsv@Daniel:1:11 @ Then Daniel said to the steward whom the chief of the eunuchs had appointed over Daniel, Hanani'ah, Mish'a-el, and Azari'ah;
rsv@Daniel:1:12 @ "Test your servants for ten days; let us be given vegetables to eat and water to drink.
rsv@Daniel:1:13 @ Then let our appearance and the appearance of the youths who eat the king's rich food be observed by you, and according to what you see deal with your servants."
rsv@Daniel:1:14 @ So he hearkened to them in this matter, and tested them for ten days.
rsv@Daniel:1:15 @ At the end of ten days it was seen that they were better in appearance and fatter in flesh than all the youths who ate the king's rich food.
rsv@Daniel:1:16 @ So the steward took away their rich food and the wine they were to drink, and gave them vegetables.
rsv@Daniel:1:17 @ As for these four youths, God gave them learning and skill in all letters and wisdom; and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.
rsv@Daniel:1:18 @ At the end of the time, when the king had commanded that they should be brought in, the chief of the eunuchs brought them in before Nebuchadnez'zar.
rsv@Daniel:1:19 @ And the king spoke with them, and among them all none was found like Daniel, Hanani'ah, Mish'a-el, and Azari'ah; therefore they stood before the king.
rsv@Daniel:1:20 @ And in every matter of wisdom and understanding concerning which the king inquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and enchanters that were in all his kingdom.
rsv@Daniel:1:21 @ And Daniel continued until the first year of King Cyrus.
rsv@Daniel:2:1 @ In the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnez'zar, Nebuchadnez'zar had dreams; and his spirit was troubled, and his sleep left him.
rsv@Daniel:2:2 @ Then the king commanded that the magicians, the enchanters, the sorcerers, and the Chalde'ans be summoned, to tell the king his dreams. So they came in and stood before the king.
rsv@Daniel:2:3 @ And the king said to them, "I had a dream, and my spirit is troubled to know the dream."
rsv@Daniel:2:4 @ Then the Chalde'ans said to the king, "O king, live for ever! Tell your servants the dream, and we will show the interpretation."
rsv@Daniel:2:5 @ The king answered the Chalde'ans, "The word from me is sure: if you do not make known to me the dream and its interpretation, you shall be torn limb from limb, and your houses shall be laid in ruins.
rsv@Daniel:2:6 @ But if you show the dream and its interpretation, you shall receive from me gifts and rewards and great honor. Therefore show me the dream and its interpretation."
rsv@Daniel:2:7 @ They answered a second time, "Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will show its interpretation."
rsv@Daniel:2:8 @ The king answered, "I know with certainty that you are trying to gain time, because you see that the word from me is sure
rsv@Daniel:2:9 @ that if you do not make the dream known to me, there is but one sentence for you. You have agreed to speak lying and corrupt words before me till the times change. Therefore tell me the dream, and I shall know that you can show me its interpretation."
rsv@Daniel:2:10 @ The Chalde'ans answered the king, "There is not a man on earth who can meet the king's demand; for no great and powerful king has asked such a thing of any magician or enchanter or Chalde'an.
rsv@Daniel:2:11 @ The thing that the king asks is difficult, and none can show it to the king except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh."
rsv@Daniel:2:12 @ Because of this the king was angry and very furious, and commanded that all the wise men of Babylon be destroyed.
rsv@Daniel:2:13 @ So the decree went forth that the wise men were to be slain, and they sought Daniel and his companions, to slay them.
rsv@Daniel:2:14 @ Then Daniel replied with prudence and discretion to Ar'i-och, the captain of the king's guard, who had gone out to slay the wise men of Babylon;
rsv@Daniel:2:15 @ he said to Ar'i-och, the king's captain, "Why is the decree of the king so severe?" Then Ar'i-och made the matter known to Daniel.
rsv@Daniel:2:16 @ And Daniel went in and besought the king to appoint him a time, that he might show to the king the interpretation.
rsv@Daniel:2:17 @ Then Daniel went to his house and made the matter known to Hanani'ah, Mish'a-el, and Azari'ah, his companions,
rsv@Daniel:2:18 @ and told them to seek mercy of the God of heaven concerning this mystery, so that Daniel and his companions might not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.
rsv@Daniel:2:19 @ Then the mystery was revealed to Daniel in a vision of the night. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven.
rsv@Daniel:2:20 @ Daniel said: "Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever. to whom belong wisdom and might.
rsv@Daniel:2:21 @ He changes times and seasons; he removes kings and sets up kings; he gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding;
rsv@Daniel:2:22 @ he reveals deep and mysterious things; he knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells with him.
rsv@Daniel:2:23 @ To thee, O God of my fathers, I give thanks and praise, for thou hast given me wisdom and strength, and hast now made known to me what we asked of thee, for thou hast made known to us the king's matter."
rsv@Daniel:2:24 @ Therefore Daniel went in to Ar'i-och, whom the king had appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon; he went and said thus to him, "Do not destroy the wise men of Babylon; bring me in before the king, and I will show the king the interpretation."
rsv@Daniel:2:25 @ Then Ar'i-och brought in Daniel before the king in haste, and said thus to him: "I have found among the exiles from Judah a man who can make known to the king the interpretation."
rsv@Daniel:2:26 @ The king said to Daniel, whose name was Belteshaz'zar, "Are you able to make known to me the dream that I have seen and its interpretation?"
rsv@Daniel:2:27 @ Daniel answered the king, "No wise men, enchanters, magicians, or astrologers can show to the king the mystery which the king has asked,
rsv@Daniel:2:28 @ but there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries, and he has made known to King Nebuchadnez'zar what will be in the latter days. Your dream and the visions of your head as you lay in bed are these:
rsv@Daniel:2:29 @ To you, O king, as you lay in bed came thoughts of what would be hereafter, and he who reveals mysteries made known to you what is to be.
rsv@Daniel:2:30 @ But as for me, not because of any wisdom that I have more than all the living has this mystery been revealed to me, but in order that the interpretation may be made known to the king, and that you may know the thoughts of your mind.
rsv@Daniel:2:31 @ "You saw, O king, and behold, a great image. This image, mighty and of exceeding brightness, stood before you, and its appearance was frightening.
rsv@Daniel:2:32 @ The head of this image was of fine gold, its breast and arms of silver, its belly and thighs of bronze,
rsv@Daniel:2:33 @ its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of clay.
rsv@Daniel:2:34 @ As you looked, a stone was cut out by no human hand, and it smote the image on its feet of iron and clay, and broke them in pieces;
rsv@Daniel:2:35 @ then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold, all together were broken in pieces, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away, so that not a trace of them could be found. But the stone that struck the image became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.
rsv@Daniel:2:36 @ "This was the dream; now we will tell the king its interpretation.
rsv@Daniel:2:37 @ You, O king, the king of kings, to whom the God of heaven has given the kingdom, the power, and the might, and the glory,
rsv@Daniel:2:38 @ and into whose hand he has given, wherever they dwell, the sons of men, the beasts of the field, and the birds of the air, making you rule over them all--you are the head of gold.
rsv@Daniel:2:39 @ After you shall arise another kingdom inferior to you, and yet a third kingdom of bronze, which shall rule over all the earth.
rsv@Daniel:2:40 @ And there shall be a fourth kingdom, strong as iron, because iron breaks to pieces and shatters all things; and like iron which crushes, it shall break and crush all these.
rsv@Daniel:2:41 @ And as you saw the feet and toes partly of potter's clay and partly of iron, it shall be a divided kingdom; but some of the firmness of iron shall be in it, just as you saw iron mixed with the miry clay.
rsv@Daniel:2:42 @ And as the toes of the feet were partly iron and partly clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong and partly brittle.
rsv@Daniel:2:43 @ As you saw the iron mixed with miry clay, so they will mix with one another in marriage, but they will not hold together, just as iron does not mix with clay.
rsv@Daniel:2:44 @ And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed, nor shall its sovereignty be left to another people. It shall break in pieces all these kingdoms and bring them to an end, and it shall stand for ever;
rsv@Daniel:2:45 @ just as you saw that a stone was cut from a mountain by no human hand, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold. A great God has made known to the king what shall be hereafter. The dream is certain, and its interpretation sure."
rsv@Daniel:2:46 @ Then King Nebuchadnez'zar fell upon his face, and did homage to Daniel, and commanded that an offering and incense be offered up to him.
rsv@Daniel:2:47 @ The king said to Daniel, "Truly, your God is God of gods and Lord of kings, and a revealer of mysteries, for you have been able to reveal this mystery."
rsv@Daniel:2:48 @ Then the king gave Daniel high honors and many great gifts, and made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon, and chief prefect over all the wise men of Babylon.
rsv@Daniel:2:49 @ Daniel made request of the king, and he appointed Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed'nego over the affairs of the province of Babylon; but Daniel remained at the king's court.
rsv@Daniel:3:1 @ King Nebuchadnez'zar made an image of gold, whose height was sixty cubits and its breadth six cubits. He set it up on the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon.
rsv@Daniel:3:2 @ Then King Nebuchadnez'zar sent to assemble the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, the counselors, the treasurers, the justices, the magistrates, and all the officials of the provinces to come to the dedication of the image which King Nebuchadnez'zar had set up.
rsv@Daniel:3:3 @ Then the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, the counselors, the treasurers, the justices, the magistrates, and all the officials of the provinces, were assembled for the dedication of the image that King Nebuchadnez'zar had set up; and they stood before the image that Nebuchadnez'zar had set up.
rsv@Daniel:3:4 @ And the herald proclaimed aloud, "You are commanded, O peoples, nations, and languages,
rsv@Daniel:3:5 @ that when you hear the sound of the horn, pipe, lyre, trigon, harp, bagpipe, and every kind of music, you are to fall down and worship the golden image that King Nebuchadnez'zar has set up;
rsv@Daniel:3:6 @ and whoever does not fall down and worship shall immediately be cast into a burning fiery furnace."
rsv@Daniel:3:7 @ Therefore, as soon as all the peoples heard the sound of the horn, pipe, lyre, trigon, harp, bagpipe, and every kind of music, all the peoples, nations, and languages fell down and worshiped the golden image which King Nebuchadnez'zar had set up.
rsv@Daniel:3:8 @ Therefore at that time certain Chalde'ans came forward and maliciously accused the Jews.
rsv@Daniel:3:9 @ They said to King Nebuchadnez'zar, "O king, live for ever!
rsv@Daniel:3:10 @ You, O king, have made a decree, that every man who hears the sound of the horn, pipe, lyre, trigon, harp, bagpipe, and every kind of music, shall fall down and worship the golden image;
rsv@Daniel:3:11 @ and whoever does not fall down and worship shall be cast into a burning fiery furnace.
rsv@Daniel:3:12 @ There are certain Jews whom you have appointed over the affairs of the province of Babylon: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed'nego. These men, O king, pay no heed to you; they do not serve your gods or worship the golden image which you have set up."
rsv@Daniel:3:13 @ Then Nebuchadnez'zar in furious rage commanded that Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed'nego be brought. Then they brought these men before the king.
rsv@Daniel:3:14 @ Nebuchadnez'zar said to them, "Is it true, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed'nego, that you do not serve my gods or worship the golden image which I have set up?
rsv@Daniel:3:15 @ Now if you are ready when you hear the sound of the horn, pipe, lyre, trigon, harp, bagpipe, and every kind of music, to fall down and worship the image which I have made, well and good; but if you do not worship, you shall immediately be cast into a burning fiery furnace; and who is the god that will deliver you out of my hands?"
rsv@Daniel:3:16 @ Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed'nego answered the king, "O Nebuchadnez'zar, we have no need to answer you in this matter.
rsv@Daniel:3:17 @ If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace; and he will deliver us out of your hand, O king.
rsv@Daniel:3:18 @ But if not, be it known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the golden image which you have set up."
rsv@Daniel:3:19 @ Then Nebuchadnez'zar was full of fury, and the expression of his face was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed'nego. He ordered the furnace heated seven times more than it was wont to be heated.
rsv@Daniel:3:20 @ And he ordered certain mighty men of his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed'nego, and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace.
rsv@Daniel:3:21 @ Then these men were bound in their mantles, their tunics, their hats, and their other garments, and they were cast into the burning fiery furnace.
rsv@Daniel:3:22 @ Because the king's order was strict and the furnace very hot, the flame of the fire slew those men who took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed'nego.
rsv@Daniel:3:23 @ And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed'nego, fell bound into the burning fiery furnace.
rsv@Daniel:3:24 @ Then King Nebuchadnez'zar was astonished and rose up in haste. He said to his counselors, "Did we not cast three men bound into the fire?" They answered the king, "True, O king."
rsv@Daniel:3:25 @ He answered, "But I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they are not hurt; and the appearance of the fourth is like a son of the gods."
rsv@Daniel:3:26 @ Then Nebuchadnez'zar came near to the door of the burning fiery furnace and said, "Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed'nego, servants of the Most High God, come forth, and come here!" Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed'nego came out from the fire.
rsv@Daniel:3:27 @ And the satraps, the prefects, the governors, and the king's counselors gathered together and saw that the fire had not had any power over the bodies of those men; the hair of their heads was not singed, their mantles were not harmed, and no smell of fire had come upon them.
rsv@Daniel:3:28 @ Nebuchadnez'zar said, "Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed'nego, who has sent his angel and delivered his servants, who trusted in him, and set at nought the king's command, and yielded up their bodies rather than serve and worship any god except their own God.
rsv@Daniel:3:29 @ Therefore I make a decree: Any people, nation, or language that speaks anything against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed'nego shall be torn limb from limb, and their houses laid in ruins; for there is no other god who is able to deliver in this way."
rsv@Daniel:3:30 @ Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed'nego in the province of Babylon.
rsv@Daniel:4:1 @ King Nebuchadnez'zar to all peoples, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth: Peace be multiplied to you!
rsv@Daniel:4:2 @ It has seemed good to me to show the signs and wonders that the Most High God has wrought toward me.
rsv@Daniel:4:3 @ How great are his signs, how mighty his wonders! His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and his dominion is from generation to generation.
rsv@Daniel:4:4 @ I, Nebuchadnez'zar, was at ease in my house and prospering in my palace.
rsv@Daniel:4:5 @ I had a dream which made me afraid; as I lay in bed the fancies and the visions of my head alarmed me.
rsv@Daniel:4:6 @ Therefore I made a decree that all the wise men of Babylon should be brought before me, that they might make known to me the interpretation of the dream.
rsv@Daniel:4:7 @ Then the magicians, the enchanters, the Chalde'ans, and the astrologers came in; and I told them the dream, but they could not make known to me its interpretation.
rsv@Daniel:4:8 @ At last Daniel came in before me--he who was named Belteshaz'zar after the name of my god, and in whom is the spirit of the holy gods--and I told him the dream, saying,
rsv@Daniel:4:9 @ "O Belteshaz'zar, chief of the magicians, because I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in you and that no mystery is difficult for you, here is the dream which I saw; tell me its interpretation.
rsv@Daniel:4:10 @ The visions of my head as I lay in bed were these: I saw, and behold, a tree in the midst of the earth; and its height was great.
rsv@Daniel:4:11 @ The tree grew and became strong, and its top reached to heaven, and it was visible to the end of the whole earth.
rsv@Daniel:4:12 @ Its leaves were fair and its fruit abundant, and in it was food for all. The beasts of the field found shade under it, and the birds of the air dwelt in its branches, and all flesh was fed from it.
rsv@Daniel:4:13 @ "I saw in the visions of my head as I lay in bed, and behold, a watcher, a holy one, came down from heaven.
rsv@Daniel:4:14 @ He cried aloud and said thus, `Hew down the tree and cut off its branches, strip off its leaves and scatter its fruit; let the beasts flee from under it and the birds from its branches.
rsv@Daniel:4:15 @ But leave the stump of its roots in the earth, bound with a band of iron and bronze, amid the tender grass of the field. Let him be wet with the dew of heaven; let his lot be with the beasts in the grass of the earth;
rsv@Daniel:4:16 @ let his mind be changed from a man's, and let a beast's mind be given to him; and let seven times pass over him.
rsv@Daniel:4:17 @ The sentence is by the decree of the watchers, the decision by the word of the holy ones, to the end that the living may know that the Most High rules the kingdom of men, and gives it to whom he will, and sets over it the lowliest of men.'
rsv@Daniel:4:18 @ This dream I, King Nebuchadnez'zar, saw. And you, O Belteshaz'zar, declare the interpretation, because all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make known to me the interpretation, but you are able, for the spirit of the holy gods is in you."
rsv@Daniel:4:19 @ Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshaz'zar, was dismayed for a moment, and his thoughts alarmed him. The king said, "Belteshaz'zar, let not the dream or the interpretation alarm you." Belteshaz'zar answered, "My lord, may the dream be for those who hate you and its interpretation for your enemies!
rsv@Daniel:4:20 @ The tree you saw, which grew and became strong, so that its top reached to heaven, and it was visible to the end of the whole earth;
rsv@Daniel:4:21 @ whose leaves were fair and its fruit abundant, and in which was food for all; under which beasts of the field found shade, and in whose branches the birds of the air dwelt--
rsv@Daniel:4:22 @ it is you, O king, who have grown and become strong. Your greatness has grown and reaches to heaven, and your dominion to the ends of the earth.
rsv@Daniel:4:23 @ And whereas the king saw a watcher, a holy one, coming down from heaven and saying, `Hew down the tree and destroy it, but leave the stump of its roots in the earth, bound with a band of iron and bronze, in the tender grass of the field; and let him be wet with the dew of heaven; and let his lot be with the beasts of the field, till seven times pass over him';
rsv@Daniel:4:24 @ this is the interpretation, O king: It is a decree of the Most High, which has come upon my lord the king,
rsv@Daniel:4:25 @ that you shall be driven from among men, and your dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field; you shall be made to eat grass like an ox, and you shall be wet with the dew of heaven, and seven times shall pass over you, till you know that the Most High rules the kingdom of men, and gives it to whom he will.
rsv@Daniel:4:26 @ And as it was commanded to leave the stump of the roots of the tree, your kingdom shall be sure for you from the time that you know that Heaven rules.
rsv@Daniel:4:27 @ Therefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable to you; break off your sins by practicing righteousness, and your iniquities by showing mercy to the oppressed, that there may perhaps be a lengthening of your tranquillity."
rsv@Daniel:4:28 @ All this came upon King Nebuchadnez'zar.
rsv@Daniel:4:29 @ At the end of twelve months he was walking on the roof of the royal palace of Babylon,
rsv@Daniel:4:30 @ and the king said, "Is not this great Babylon, which I have built by my mighty power as a royal residence and for the glory of my majesty?"
rsv@Daniel:4:31 @ While the words were still in the king's mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, "O King Nebuchadnez'zar, to you it is spoken: The kingdom has departed from you,
rsv@Daniel:4:32 @ and you shall be driven from among men, and your dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field; and you shall be made to eat grass like an ox; and seven times shall pass over you, until you have learned that the Most High rules the kingdom of men and gives it to whom he will."
rsv@Daniel:4:33 @ Immediately the word was fulfilled upon Nebuchadnez'zar. He was driven from among men, and ate grass like an ox, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven till his hair grew as long as eagles' feathers, and his nails were like birds' claws.
rsv@Daniel:4:34 @ At the end of the days I, Nebuchadnez'zar, lifted my eyes to heaven, and my reason returned to me, and I blessed the Most High, and praised and honored him who lives for ever; for his dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom endures from generation to generation;
rsv@Daniel:4:35 @ all the inhabitants of the earth are accounted as nothing; and he does according to his will in the host of heaven and among the inhabitants of the earth; and none can stay his hand or say to him, "What doest thou?"
rsv@Daniel:4:36 @ At the same time my reason returned to me; and for the glory of my kingdom, my majesty and splendor returned to me. My counselors and my lords sought me, and I was established in my kingdom, and still more greatness was added to me.
rsv@Daniel:4:37 @ Now I, Nebuchadnez'zar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven; for all his works are right and his ways are just; and those who walk in pride he is able to abase.
rsv@Daniel:5:1 @ King Belshaz'zar made a great feast for a thousand of his lords, and drank wine in front of the thousand.
rsv@Daniel:5:2 @ Belshaz'zar, when he tasted the wine, commanded that the vessels of gold and of silver which Nebuchadnez'zar his father had taken out of the temple in Jerusalem be brought, that the king and his lords, his wives, and his concubines might drink from them.
rsv@Daniel:5:3 @ Then they brought in the golden and silver vessels which had been taken out of the temple, the house of God in Jerusalem; and the king and his lords, his wives, and his concubines drank from them.
rsv@Daniel:5:4 @ They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold and silver, bronze, iron, wood, and stone.
rsv@Daniel:5:5 @ Immediately the fingers of a man's hand appeared and wrote on the plaster of the wall of the king's palace, opposite the lampstand; and the king saw the hand as it wrote.
rsv@Daniel:5:6 @ Then the king's color changed, and his thoughts alarmed him; his limbs gave way, and his knees knocked together.
rsv@Daniel:5:7 @ The king cried aloud to bring in the enchanters, the Chalde'ans, and the astrologers. The king said to the wise men of Babylon, "Whoever reads this writing, and shows me its interpretation, shall be clothed with purple, and have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom."
rsv@Daniel:5:8 @ Then all the king's wise men came in, but they could not read the writing or make known to the king the interpretation.
rsv@Daniel:5:9 @ Then King Belshaz'zar was greatly alarmed, and his color changed; and his lords were perplexed.
rsv@Daniel:5:10 @ The queen, because of the words of the king and his lords, came into the banqueting hall; and the queen said, "O king, live for ever! Let not your thoughts alarm you or your color change.
rsv@Daniel:5:11 @ There is in your kingdom a man in whom is the spirit of the holy gods. In the days of your father light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, were found in him, and King Nebuchadnez'zar, your father, made him chief of the magicians, enchanters, Chalde'ans, and astrologers,
rsv@Daniel:5:12 @ because an excellent spirit, knowledge, and understanding to interpret dreams, explain riddles, and solve problems were found in this Daniel, whom the king named Belteshaz'zar. Now let Daniel be called, and he will show the interpretation."
rsv@Daniel:5:13 @ Then Daniel was brought in before the king. The king said to Daniel, "You are that Daniel, one of the exiles of Judah, whom the king my father brought from Judah.
rsv@Daniel:5:14 @ I have heard of you that the spirit of the holy gods is in you, and that light and understanding and excellent wisdom are found in you.
rsv@Daniel:5:15 @ Now the wise men, the enchanters, have been brought in before me to read this writing and make known to me its interpretation; but they could not show the interpretation of the matter.
rsv@Daniel:5:16 @ But I have heard that you can give interpretations and solve problems. Now if you can read the writing and make known to me its interpretation, you shall be clothed with purple, and have a chain of gold about your neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.
rsv@Daniel:5:17 @ Then Daniel answered before the king, "Let your gifts be for yourself, and give your rewards to another; nevertheless I will read the writing to the king and make known to him the interpretation.
rsv@Daniel:5:18 @ O king, the Most High God gave Nebuchadnez'zar your father kingship and greatness and glory and majesty;
rsv@Daniel:5:19 @ and because of the greatness that he gave him, all peoples, nations, and languages trembled and feared before him; whom he would he slew, and whom he would he kept alive; whom he would he raised up, and whom he would he put down.
rsv@Daniel:5:20 @ But when his heart was lifted up and his spirit was hardened so that he dealt proudly, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and his glory was taken from him;
rsv@Daniel:5:21 @ he was driven from among men, and his mind was made like that of a beast, and his dwelling was with the wild asses; he was fed grass like an ox, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, until he knew that the Most High God rules the kingdom of men, and sets over it whom he will.
rsv@Daniel:5:22 @ And you his son, Belshaz'zar, have not humbled your heart, though you knew all this,
rsv@Daniel:5:23 @ but you have lifted up yourself against the Lord of heaven; and the vessels of his house have been brought in before you, and you and your lords, your wives, and your concubines have drunk wine from them; and you have praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood, and stone, which do not see or hear or know, but the God in whose hand is your breath, and whose are all your ways, you have not honored.
rsv@Daniel:5:24 @ "Then from his presence the hand was sent, and this writing was inscribed.
rsv@Daniel:5:25 @ And this is the writing that was inscribed: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, and PARSIN.
rsv@Daniel:5:26 @ This is the interpretation of the matter: MENE, God has numbered the days of your kingdom and brought it to an end;
rsv@Daniel:5:27 @ TEKEL, you have been weighed in the balances and found wanting;
rsv@Daniel:5:28 @ PERES, your kingdom is divided and given to the Medes and Persians."
rsv@Daniel:5:29 @ Then Belshaz'zar commanded, and Daniel was clothed with purple, a chain of gold was put about his neck, and proclamation was made concerning him, that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom.
rsv@Daniel:5:30 @ That very night Belshaz'zar the Chalde'an king was slain.
rsv@Daniel:5:31 @ And Darius the Mede received the kingdom, being about sixty-two years old.
rsv@Daniel:6:1 @ It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom a hundred and twenty satraps, to be throughout the whole kingdom;
rsv@Daniel:6:2 @ and over them three presidents, of whom Daniel was one, to whom these satraps should give account, so that the king might suffer no loss.
rsv@Daniel:6:3 @ Then this Daniel became distinguished above all the other presidents and satraps, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king planned to set him over the whole kingdom.
rsv@Daniel:6:4 @ Then the presidents and the satraps sought to find a ground for complaint against Daniel with regard to the kingdom; but they could find no ground for complaint or any fault, because he was faithful, and no error or fault was found in him.
rsv@Daniel:6:5 @ Then these men said, "We shall not find any ground for complaint against this Daniel unless we find it in connection with the law of his God."
rsv@Daniel:6:6 @ Then these presidents and satraps came by agreement to the king and said to him, "O King Darius, live for ever!
rsv@Daniel:6:7 @ All the presidents of the kingdom, the prefects and the satraps, the counselors and the governors are agreed that the king should establish an ordinance and enforce an interdict, that whoever makes petition to any god or man for thirty days, except to you, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions.
rsv@Daniel:6:8 @ Now, O king, establish the interdict and sign the document, so that it cannot be changed, according to the law of the Medes and the Persians, which cannot be revoked."
rsv@Daniel:6:9 @ Therefore King Darius signed the document and interdict.
rsv@Daniel:6:10 @ When Daniel knew that the document had been signed, he went to his house where he had windows in his upper chamber open toward Jerusalem; and he got down upon his knees three times a day and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as he had done previously.
rsv@Daniel:6:11 @ Then these men came by agreement and found Daniel making petition and supplication before his God.
rsv@Daniel:6:12 @ Then they came near and said before the king, concerning the interdict, "O king! Did you not sign an interdict, that any man who makes petition to any god or man within thirty days except to you, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions?" The king answered, "The thing stands fast, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which cannot be revoked."
rsv@Daniel:6:13 @ Then they answered before the king, "That Daniel, who is one of the exiles from Judah, pays no heed to you, O king, or the interdict you have signed, but makes his petition three times a day."
rsv@Daniel:6:14 @ Then the king, when he heard these words, was much distressed, and set his mind to deliver Daniel; and he labored till the sun went down to rescue him.
rsv@Daniel:6:15 @ Then these men came by agreement to the king, and said to the king, "Know, O king, that it is a law of the Medes and Persians that no interdict or ordinance which the king establishes can be changed."
rsv@Daniel:6:16 @ Then the king commanded, and Daniel was brought and cast into the den of lions. The king said to Daniel, "May your God, whom you serve continually, deliver you!"![[pBiblx2]](/img/pbiblx2_logo3.png){kind=logo}
