2:1 And
in
the
second
yeere
of
the
reigne
of
Nebuchadnezzar,
Nebuchad-nezzar
dreamed
dreames,
wherewith
his
spirit
was
troubled,
and
his
sleepe
brake
from
him.
2:2 Then
the
King
commanded
to
call
the
Magicians,
and
the
Astrologers,
and
the
Sorcerers,
and
the
Caldeans,
for
to
shew
the
King
his
dreames:
so
they
came
and
stood
before
the
king.
2:3 And
the
King
said
vnto
them,
I
haue
dreamed
a
dreame,
and
my
spirit
was
troubled
to
know
the
dreame.
2:4 Then
spake
the
Caldeans
to
the
King
in
Syriacke;
O
king,
liue
for
euer:
tell
thy
seruants
the
dreame,
and
we
will
shew
the
interpretation.
2:5 The
King
answered,
and
said
to
the
Caldeans,
The
thing
is
gone
from
mee:
if
ye
will
not
make
knowen
vnto
me
the
dreame,
with
the
interpretation
thereof,
yee
shall
be
cut
in
pieces,
and
your
houses
shalbe
made
a
dunghill.
2:6 But
if
yee
shewe
the
dreame,
and
the
interpretation
thereof,
yee
shall
receiue
of
me
giftes
and
rewards,
and
great
honour:
therefore
shewe
me
the
dreame,
and
the
interpretation
thereof.
2:7 They
answered
againe,
and
said,
Let
the
King
tell
his
seruants
the
dreame,
and
we
will
shew
the
interpretation
of
it.
2:8 The
King
answered,
and
said,
I
know
of
certeinty
that
ye
would
gaine
the
time,
because
ye
see
the
thing
is
gone
from
me.
2:9 But
if
yee
will
not
make
knowen
vnto
me
the
dreame,
there
is
but
one
decree
for
you:
for
ye
haue
prepared
lying,
and
corrupt
words
to
speake
before
me,
till
the
time
be
changed:
therefore
tell
me
the
dreame,
and
I
shall
know
that
yee
can
shewe
mee
the
interpretation
thereof.
2:10 The
Caldeans
answered
before
the
King,
and
said,
There
is
not
a
man
vpon
the
earth
that
can
shew
the
kings
matter:
therefore
there
is
no
King,
lord,
nor
ruler,
that
asked
such
things
at
any
Magician,
or
Astrologer,
or
Caldean.
2:11 And
it
is
a
rare
thing
that
the
king
requireth,
and
there
is
none
other
that
can
shew
it
before
the
King,
except
the
gods,
whose
dwelling
is
not
with
flesh.
2:12 For
this
cause
the
King
was
angry
and
very
furious,
and
commanded
to
destroy
all
the
wise
men
of
Babylon.
2:13 And
the
decree
went
foorth
that
the
wise
men
should
be
slaine,
and
they
sought
Daniel
and
his
fellowes
to
be
slaine.
2:14 Then
Daniel
answered
with
counsell
and
wisedome
to
Arioch
the
captaine
of
the
Kings
guard,
which
was
gone
foorth
to
slay
the
wise
men
of
Babylon.
2:15 Hee
answered
and
said
to
Arioch
the
Kings
captaine,
Why
is
the
decree
so
hastie
from
the
King
Then
Arioch
made
the
thing
knowen
to
Daniel.
2:16 Then
Daniel
went
in
and
desired
of
the
King,
that
hee
would
giue
him
time,
and
that
he
would
shew
the
king
the
interpretation.
2:17 Then
Daniel
went
to
his
house,
and
made
the
thing
knowen
to
Hananiah,
Mishael,
and
Azariah
his
companions:
2:18 That
they
would
desire
mercies
of
the
God
of
heauen
concerning
this
secret,
that
Daniel
and
his
fellowes
should
not
perish
with
the
rest
of
the
Wise
men
of
Babylon.
2:19 Then
was
the
secret
reuealed
vnto
Daniel
in
a
night
vision:
then
Daniel
blessed
the
God
of
heauen.
2:20 Daniel
answered
and
said;
Blessed
be
the
name
of
God
for
euer
and
euer:
for
wisedome
and
might
are
his:
2:21 And
he
changeth
the
times
and
the
seasons:
he
remoueth
Kings,
and
setteth
vp
Kings:
he
giueth
wisedome
vnto
the
wise,
and
knowledge
to
them
that
know
vnderstanding.
2:22 He
reuealeth
the
deepe
and
secret
things:
hee
knoweth
what
is
in
the
darknes,
&
the
light
dwelleth
with
him.
2:23 I
thanke
thee
and
praise
thee,
O
thou
God
of
my
fathers,
who
hast
giuen
me
wisedome
and
might,
and
hast
made
knowen
vnto
me
now
what
we
desired
of
thee:
for
thou
hast
now
made
knowen
vnto
vs
the
kings
matter.
2:24 Therefore
Daniel
went
in
vnto
Arioch
whom
the
king
had
ordained
to
destroy
the
wise
men
of
Babylon:
he
went
and
said
thus
vnto
him,
Destroy
not
the
wise
men
of
Babylon:
bring
me
in
before
the
king,
and
I
will
shew
vnto
the
king
the
interpretation.
2:25 Then
Arioch
brought
in
Daniel
before
the
king
in
haste,
&
said
thus
vnto
him,
I
haue
found
a
man
of
the
captiues
of
Iudah,
that
will
make
knowen
vnto
the
king
the
interpretation.
2:26 The
King
answered
and
said
to
Daniel
whose
name
was
Belteshazzar,
Art
thou
able
to
make
knowen
vnto
me
the
dreame
which
I
haue
seene,
and
the
interpretation
thereof
2:27 Daniel
answered
in
the
presence
of
the
King,
and
said,
The
secret
which
the
King
hath
demanded,
cannot
the
wise
men,
the
astrologians,
the
magicians,
ye
southsaiers
shew
vnto
the
king:
2:28 But
there
is
a
God
in
heauen
that
reuealeth
secrets,
and
maketh
knowen
to
the
king
Nebuchad-nezzar,
what
shalbe
in
the
latter
dayes.
Thy
dreame,
and
the
visions
of
thy
head
vpon
thy
bed,
are
these.
2:29 As
for
thee,
O
King,
thy
thoughts
came
into
thy
minde
vpon
thy
bed,
what
should
come
to
passe
hereafter:
and
he
that
reuealeth
secrets,
maketh
knowen
to
thee,
what
shall
come
to
passe.
2:30 But
as
for
me,
this
secret
is
not
reuealed
to
me,
for
any
wisdome
that
I
haue
more
then
any
liuing,
but
for
their
sakes
that
shall
make
knowen
the
interpretation
to
the
King,
and
that
thou
mightest
know
the
thoughts
of
thy
heart.
2:31 Thou,
O
King,
sawest,
and
behold
a
great
image:
this
great
image
whose
brightnesse
was
excelleut,
stood
before
thee,
and
the
forme
thereof
was
terrible.
2:32 This
images
head
was
of
fine
gold,
his
breast
and
his
armes
of
siluer,
his
belly
and
his
thighes
of
brasse:
2:33 His
legs
of
yron,
his
feete
part
of
yron,
and
part
of
clay.
2:34 Thou
sawest
till
that
a
stone
was
cut
out
without
hands,
which
smote
the
image
vpon
his
feete
that
were
of
yron
and
clay,
and
brake
them
to
pieces.
2:35 Then
was
the
yron,
the
clay,
the
brasse,
the
siluer,
and
the
golde
broken
to
pieces
together,
and
became
like
the
chaffe
of
the
summer
threshing
floores,
and
the
wind
caried
them
away,
that
no
place
was
found
for
them:
&
the
stone
that
smote
the
image
became
a
great
mountaine,
and
filled
the
whole
earth.
2:36 This
is
the
dreame,
and
we
will
tell
the
interpretation
thereof
before
the
King.
2:37 Thou,
O
King,
art
a
king
of
Kings:
for
the
God
of
heauen
hath
giuen
thee
a
kingdome,
power,
and
strength,
and
glory.
2:38 And
wheresoeuer
the
children
of
men
dwel,
the
beasts
of
the
field,
and
the
foules
of
the
heauen
hath
he
giuen
into
thine
hand,
and
hath
made
thee
ruler
ouer
them
all:
thou
art
this
head
of
gold.
2:39 And
after
thee
shall
arise
an
other
kingdome
inferiour
to
thee,
and
another
third
kingdome
of
brasse,
which
shall
beare
rule
ouer
all
the
earth.
2:40 And
the
fourth
kingdome
shall
be
strong
as
yron:
forasmuch
as
yron
breaketh
in
pieces
and
subdueth
all
things;
and
as
yron
that
breaketh
all
these,
shall
it
breake
in
pieces
and
bruise.
2:41 And
whereas
thou
sawest
the
feete
and
toes,
part
of
potters
clay,
and
part
of
yron:
the
kingdome
shalbe
diuided,
but
there
shalbe
in
it
of
the
strength
of
the
yron,
forasmuch
as
thou
sawest
the
yron
mixt
with
myrie
clay.
2:42 And
as
the
toes
of
the
feete
were
part
of
yron,
and
part
of
clay;
so
the
kingdome
shall
be
partly
strong,
and
partly
broken.
2:43 And
whereas
thou
sawest
yron
mixt
with
myrie
clay,
they
shall
mingle
themselues
with
the
seede
of
men:
but
they
shall
not
cleaue
one
to
an
other,
euen
as
yron
is
not
mixed
with
clay.
2:44 And
in
the
daies
of
these
Kings
shall
the
God
of
heauen
set
vp
a
kingdome,
which
shall
neuer
be
destroyed:
and
the
Kingdome
shall
not
be
left
to
other
people,
but
it
shall
breake
in
pieces,
and
consume
all
these
kingdomes,
and
it
shall
stand
for
euer.
2:45 Forasmuch
as
thou
sawest
that
the
stone
was
cut
out
of
the
mountaine
without
hands,
and
that
it
brake
in
pieces
the
yron,
the
brasse,
the
clay,
the
siluer,
and
the
gold:
the
great
God
hath
made
knowen
to
the
King
what
shall
come
to
passe
hereafter,
&
the
dreame
is
certaine,
and
the
interpretation
thereof
sure.
2:46 Then
the
King
Nebuchadnezzar
fell
vpon
his
face,
and
worshipped
Daniel,
and
commanded
that
they
should
offer
an
oblation,
and
sweet
odours
vnto
him.
2:47 The
King
answered
vnto
Daniel
and
said,
Of
a
trueth
it
is,
that
your
God
is
a
God
of
gods,
and
a
Lord
of
Kings,
and
a
reuealer
of
secrets,
seeing
thou
couldest
reueale
this
secret.
2:48 Then
the
King
made
Daniel
a
great
man,
and
gaue
him
many
great
gifts,
&
made
him
ruler
ouer
the
whole
prouince
of
Babylon,
and
chiefe
of
the
gouernours
ouer
all
the
wise
men
of
Babylon.
2:49 Then
Daniel
requested
of
the
King,
and
he
set
Shadrach,
Meshach,
and
Abednego
ouer
the
affaires
of
the
prouince
of
Babylon:
but
Daniel
sate
in
the
gate
of
the
King.
