The king{H4430} answered{H560} and said,{H6032} Belteshazzar,{H1096} let not{H409} the dream,{H2493} or the interpretation,{H6591} trouble{H927} thee. Belteshazzar{H1096} answered{H6032} and said,{H560} My lord,{H4756} the dream{H2493} be to them that hate{H8131} thee, and the interpretation{H6591} thereof to thine adversaries.{H6146} 20 The tree{H363} that thou sawest,{H2370} which grew,{H7236} and was strong,{H8631} whose height{H7314} reached{H4291} unto heaven,{H8065} and the sight{H2379} thereof to all{H3606} the earth;{H772} 21 whose leaves{H6074} were fair,{H8209} and the fruit{H4} thereof much,{H7690} and in it was food{H4203} for all;{H3606} under{H8460} which the beasts{H2423} of the field{H1251} dwelt,{H1753} and upon whose branches{H6056} the birds{H6853} of the heavens{H8065} had their habitation:{H7932} 22 it is thou,{H607} O king,{H4430} that art grown{H7236} and become strong;{H8631} for thy greatness{H7238} is grown,{H7236} and reacheth{H4291} unto heaven,{H8065} and thy dominion{H7985} to the end{H5491} of the earth.{H772} 23 And whereas the king{H4430} saw{H2370} a watcher{H5894} and a holy one{H6922} coming down{H5182} from{H4481} heaven,{H8065} and saying,{H560} Hew{H1414} down{H1414} the tree,{H363} and destroy{H2255} it; nevertheless{H1297} leave{H7662} the stump{H6136} of the roots{H8330} thereof in the earth,{H772} even with a band{H613} of iron{H6523} and brass,{H5174} in the tender grass{H1883} of the field,{H1251} and let it be wet{H6647} with the dew{H2920} of heaven:{H8065} and let his portion{H2508} be with{H5974} the beasts{H2423} of the field,{H1251} till{H5705} seven{H7655} times{H5732} pass{H2499} over{H5922} him; 24 this{H1836} is the interpretation,{H6591} O king,{H4430} and it{H1932} is the decree{H1510} of the Most High,{H5943} which is come{H4291} upon{H5922} my lord{H4756} the king:{H4430} 25 that thou shalt be driven{H2957} from{H4481} men,{H606} and thy dwelling{H4070} shall be{H1934} with{H5974} the beasts{H2423} of the field,{H1251} and thou shalt be made to eat{H2939} grass{H6211} as oxen,{H8450} and shalt be wet{H6647} with the dew{H2920} of heaven,{H8065} and seven{H7655} times{H5732} shall pass{H2499} over{H5922} thee; till{H5705} thou know{H3046} that the Most High{H5943} ruleth{H7990} in the kingdom{H4437} of men,{H606} and giveth{H5415} it to whomsoever{H4479} he will.{H6634} 26 And whereas they commanded{H560} to leave{H7662} the stump{H6136} of the roots{H8330} of the tree;{H363} thy kingdom{H4437} shall be sure{H7011} unto thee, after{H4481} that thou shalt have known{H3046} that the heavens{H8065} do rule.{H7990} 27 Wherefore,{H3861} O king,{H4430} let my counsel{H4431} be acceptable{H8232} unto thee,{H5922} and break off{H6562} thy sins{H2408} by righteousness,{H6665} and thine iniquities{H5758} by showing mercy{H2604} to the poor;{H6033} if{H2006} there may be{H1934} a lengthening{H754} of thy tranquillity.{H7963} 28 All{H3606} this came{H4291} upon{H5922} the king{H4430} Nebuchadnezzar.{H5020} 29 At the end{H7118} of twelve{H8648} months{H3393} he was walking{H1934} in{H5922} the royal{H4437} palace{H1965} of Babylon.{H895} 30 The king{H4430} spake{H6032} and said,{H560} Is{H576} not{H3809} this{H1932} great{H7229} Babylon,{H895} which I{H576} have built{H1124} for the royal{H4437} dwelling-place, by the might{H8632} of my power{H2632} and for the glory{H3367} of my majesty?{H1923} 31 While{H5751} the word{H4406} was in the king's{H4430} mouth,{H6433} there fell{H5308} a voice{H7032} from{H4481} heaven,{H8065} [saying], O king{H4430} Nebuchadnezzar,{H5020} to thee it is spoken:{H560} The kingdom{H4437} is departed{H5709} from{H4481} thee: 32 and thou shalt be driven{H2957} from{H4481} men;{H606} and thy dwelling{H4070} shall be with{H5974} the beasts{H2423} of the field;{H1251} thou shalt be made to eat{H2939} grass{H6211} as oxen;{H8450} and seven{H7655} times{H5732} shall pass{H2499} over{H5922} thee; until{H5705} thou know{H3046} that the Most High{H5943} ruleth{H7990} in the kingdom{H4437} of men,{H606} and giveth{H5415} it to whomsoever{H4479} he will.{H6634} 33 The same hour{H8160} was the thing{H4406} fulfilled{H5487} upon{H5922} Nebuchadnezzar:{H5020} and he was driven{H2957} from{H4481} men,{H606} and did eat{H399} grass{H6211} as oxen,{H8450} and his body{H1655} was wet{H6647} with the dew{H2920} of heaven,{H8065} till{H5705} his hair{H8177} was grown{H7236} like eagles'{H5403} [feathers], and his nails{H2953} like birds'{H6853} [claws].
