    1In the second year of Nebuchadnezzar’s reign, Nebuchadnezzar had dreams that deeply troubled his spirit, and his sleep left him.

    2So the king commanded to summon the magicians, enchanters, sorcerers, and Chaldeans to explain his dreams to him. They came and stood before the king.

    3The king said to them, "I have dreamed a dream, and my spirit is troubled to understand the dream."

    4Then the Chaldeans spoke to the king in Aramaic, "O king, live forever! Tell the dream to your servants, and we will reveal its interpretation."

    5The king answered the Chaldeans, saying, "The command from me is firm: if you do not make the dream and its interpretation known to me, you will be torn limb from limb, and your houses will be turned into rubble.

    6But if you reveal the dream and its interpretation, you will receive gifts, rewards, and great honor from me. So declare the dream and its interpretation to me."

    7They answered again, saying, "Let the king tell the dream to his servants, and we will reveal its interpretation."

    8The king responded, "I am certain that you are trying to gain time because you see that my command is firm.

    9If you do not make the dream known to me, there is only one decree for you. You have agreed to speak false and corrupt words before me until the situation changes. Therefore, tell me the dream, so that I may know that you can reveal its interpretation."

    10The Chaldeans answered the king, saying, "There is no man on earth who can declare the king's matter. No great and powerful king has ever asked such a thing from any magician, enchanter, or Chaldean.

    24Therefore, Daniel went to Arioch, whom the king had appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon. He went and said to him, "Do not destroy the wise men of Babylon; bring me before the king, and I will reveal the interpretation to the king."

    26The king said to Daniel, who was also called Belteshazzar, "Are you able to make known to me the dream which I saw and its interpretation?"

    27Daniel answered the king, saying, "The mystery which the king asks about cannot be revealed by wise men, enchanters, magicians, or diviners.

    28However, there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries. He has made known to King Nebuchadnezzar what will happen in the latter days. Your dream and the visions in your mind as you lay on your bed are as follows.

    29As for you, O king, your thoughts came into your mind while on your bed about what would happen in the future, and He who reveals mysteries has made known to you what is to come.

    30But as for me, this mystery has not been revealed to me because of any wisdom that I have more than anyone else, but so that the interpretation may be made known to the king and that you may understand the thoughts of your heart.
