Now thou{H607}, O Belteshazzar{H1096}, declare{H560}{(H8747)} the interpretation{H6591} thereof, forasmuch as{H6903} all{H3606} the wise{H2445} men of my kingdom{H4437} are not{H3809} able{H3202}{(H8750)} to make known{H3046}{(H8682)} unto me the interpretation{H6591}: but thou{H607} art able{H3546}{(H8751)}; for the spirit{H7308} of the holy{H6922} gods{H426} is in thee. 19 Then{H116} Daniel{H1841}, whose name{H8036} was Belteshazzar{H1096}, was astonied{H8075}{(H8733)} for one{H2298} hour{H8160}, and his thoughts{H7476} troubled{H927}{(H8792)} him. The king{H4430} spake{H6032}{(H8750)}, and said{H560}{(H8750)}, Belteshazzar{H1096}, let not{H409} the dream{H2493}, or the interpretation{H6591} thereof, trouble{H927}{(H8792)} thee. Belteshazzar{H1096} answered{H6032}{(H8750)} and said{H560}{(H8750)}, My lord{H4756}, the dream{H2493} be to them that hate{H8131}{(H8750)} thee, and the interpretation{H6591} thereof to thine enemies{H6146}. 20 The tree{H363} that thou sawest{H2370}{(H8754)}, which grew{H7236}{(H8754)}, and was strong{H8631}{(H8754)}, whose height{H7314} reached{H4291}{(H8748)} unto the 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 meat{H4203} for all{H3606}; under{H8460} which the beasts{H2423} of the field{H1251} dwelt{H1753}{(H8748)}, and upon whose branches{H6056} the fowls{H6853} of the heaven{H8065} had their habitation{H7932}{(H8748)}: 22 It is thou{H607}, O king{H4430}, that art grown{H7236}{(H8754)} and become strong{H8631}{(H8748)}: for thy greatness{H7238} is grown{H7236}{(H8754)}, and reacheth{H4291}{(H8754)} unto heaven{H8065}, and thy dominion{H7985} to the end{H5491} of the earth{H772}. 23 And whereas the king{H4430} saw{H2370}{(H8754)} a watcher{H5894} and an holy one{H6922} coming down{H5182}{(H8750)} from{H4481} heaven{H8065}, and saying{H560}{(H8750)}, Hew{H1414} the tree{H363} down{H1414}, and destroy{H2255}{(H8740)} it; yet{H1297} leave{H7662}{(H8747)} 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}{(H8721)} 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 this{H1932} is the decree{H1510} of the most High{H5943}, which is come{H4291}{(H8754)} upon{H5922} my lord{H4756} the king{H4430}: 25 That they shall drive{H2957}{(H8751)} thee from{H4481} men{H606}, and thy dwelling{H4070} shall be{H1934}{(H8748)} with{H5974} the beasts{H2423} of the field{H1251}, and they shall make thee to eat{H2939}{(H8748)} grass{H6211} as oxen{H8450}, and they shall wet{H6647}{(H8743)} thee with the dew{H2920} of heaven{H8065}, and seven{H7655} times{H5732} shall pass{H2499} over{H5922} thee, till{H5705} thou know{H3046}{(H8748)} that the most High{H5943} ruleth{H7990} in the kingdom{H4437} of men{H606}, and giveth{H5415}{(H8748)} it to whomsoever{H4479} he will{H6634}{(H8748)}. 26 And whereas they commanded{H560}{(H8754)} to leave{H7662}{(H8749)} the stump{H6136} of the tree{H363} roots{H8330}; thy kingdom{H4437} shall be sure{H7011} unto thee, after{H4481} that thou shalt have known{H3046}{(H8748)} that the heavens{H8065} do rule{H7990}. 27 Wherefore{H3861}, O king{H4430}, let my counsel{H4431} be acceptable{H8232}{(H8748)} unto thee{H5922}, and break off{H6562}{(H8747)} thy sins{H2408} by righteousness{H6665}, and thine iniquities{H5758} by shewing mercy{H2604}{(H8749)} to the poor{H6033}{(H8750)}; if{H2006} it may be{H1934}{(H8748)} a lengthening{H754} of thy tranquillity{H7963}. 28 All{H3606} this came{H4291}{(H8754)} upon{H5922} the king{H4430} Nebuchadnezzar{H5020}. 29 At the end{H7118} of twelve{H8648}{H6236} months{H3393} he walked{H1934}{(H8754)}{H1981}{(H8750)} in{H5922} the palace{H1965} of the kingdom{H4437} of Babylon{H895}. 30 The king{H4430} spake{H6032}{(H8750)}, and said{H560}{(H8750)}, Is not{H3809} this{H1932}{H1668} great{H7229} Babylon{H895}, that I{H576} have built{H1124}{(H8754)} for the house{H1005} of the kingdom{H4437} by the might{H8632} of my power{H2632}, and for the honour{H3367} of my majesty{H1923}? 31 While{H5751} the word{H4406} was in the king's{H4430} mouth{H6433}, there fell{H5308}{(H8754)} a voice{H7032} from{H4481} heaven{H8065}, saying, O king{H4430} Nebuchadnezzar{H5020}, to thee it is spoken{H560}{(H8750)}; The kingdom{H4437} is departed{H5709}{(H8754)} from{H4481} thee. 32 And they shall drive{H2957}{(H8751)} thee from{H4481} men{H606}, and thy dwelling{H4070} shall be with{H5974} the beasts{H2423} of the field{H1251}: they shall make thee to eat{H2939}{(H8748)} grass{H6211} as oxen{H8450}, and seven{H7655} times{H5732} shall pass{H2499} over{H5922} thee, until{H5705} thou know{H3046}{(H8748)} that the most High{H5943} ruleth{H7990} in the kingdom{H4437} of men{H606}, and giveth{H5415}{(H8748)} it to whomsoever{H4479} he will{H6634}{(H8748)}. 33 The same hour{H8160} was the thing{H4406} fulfilled{H5487}{(H8754)} upon{H5922} Nebuchadnezzar{H5020}: and he was driven{H2957}{(H8752)} from{H4481} men{H606}, and did eat{H399}{(H8748)} grass{H6211} as oxen{H8450}, and his body{H1655} was wet{H6647}{(H8721)} with the dew{H2920} of heaven{H8065}, till{H5705} his hairs{H8177} were grown{H7236}{(H8754)} like eagles{H5403}' feathers, and his nails{H2953} like birds{H6853}' claws.
  • Dan 6:8 : 8 Now{H3705}, O king{H4430}, establish{H6966}{(H8681)} the decree{H633}, and sign{H7560}{(H8748)} the writing{H3792}, that it be not{H3809} changed{H8133}{(H8682)}, according to the law{H1882} of the Medes{H4076} and Persians{H6540}, which altereth{H5709}{(H8748)} not{H3809}.
