4:1 Nebuchad-nezzar
the
king,
vnto
all
people,
nations,
and
languages
that
dwell
in
all
the
earth,
Peace
be
multiplied
vnto
you.
4:2 I
thought
it
good
to
shew
the
signes,
and
wonders,
that
the
high
God
hath
wrought
toward
me.
4:3 How
great
are
his
signes
and
how
mighty
are
his
wonders
his
kingdome
is
an
euerlasting
kingdome,
and
his
dominion
is
fro
generation
to
generation.
4:4 I
Nebuchadnezzar
was
at
rest
in
mine
house,
and
flourishing
in
my
palace.
4:5 I
saw
a
dreame
which
made
me
afraid,
and
the
thoughts
vpon
my
bed,
and
the
visions
of
my
head
troubled
me.
4:6 Therefore
made
I
a
decree,
to
bring
in
all
the
wise
men
of
Babylon
before
mee,
that
they
might
make
knowen
vnto
me
the
interpretation
of
the
dreame.
4:7 Then
came
in
the
Magicians,
the
Astrologers,
the
Caldeans,
and
the
Southsayers:
and
I
tolde
the
dreame
before
them;
but
they
did
not
make
knowen
vnto
mee
the
interpretation
thereof.
4:8 But
at
the
last
Daniel
came
in
before
me,
(whose
name
was
Belteshazzar,
according
to
the
name
of
my
God,
and
in
whom
is
the
spirit
of
the
holy
Gods)
&
before
him
I
told
the
dreame,
saying,
4:9 O
Belteshazzar,
master
of
the
Magicians,
because
I
know
that
the
spirit
of
the
holy
Gods
is
in
thee,
and
no
secret
troubleth
thee,
tell
me
the
visions
of
my
dreame
that
I
haue
seene,
and
the
interpretation
thereof.
4:10 Thus
were
the
visions
of
mine
head
in
my
bed:
I
saw,
and
behold,
a
tree
in
the
middest
of
the
earth,
and
the
height
thereof
was
great.
4:11 The
tree
grew,
and
was
strong,
and
the
height
thereof
reached
vnto
heauen,
and
the
sight
thereof
to
the
end
of
all
the
earth.
4:12 The
leaues
thereof
were
faire,
and
the
fruite
thereof
much,
and
in
it
was
meate
for
all:
the
beasts
of
the
field
had
shadow
vnder
it,
and
the
foules
of
the
heauen
dwelt
in
the
boughes
thereof,
and
all
flesh
was
fed
of
it.
4:13 I
sawe
in
the
visions
of
my
head
vpon
my
bed,
&
behold,
a
watcher
and
an
holy
one
came
downe
from
heauen.
4:14 He
cryed
aloude,
and
said
thus;
Hew
downe
the
tree,
and
cut
off
his
branches;
shake
off
his
leaues,
and
scatter
his
fruite;
let
the
beasts
get
away
from
vnder
it,
and
the
foules
from
his
branches.
4:15 Neuerthelesse
leaue
the
stumpe
of
his
rootes
in
the
earth,
euen
with
a
band
of
yron
and
brasse,
in
the
tender
grasse
of
the
field,
and
let
it
be
wet
with
the
dew
of
heauen,
and
let
his
portion
be
with
the
beastes
in
the
grasse
of
the
earth.
4:16 Let
his
heart
bee
changed
from
mans,
and
let
a
beasts
heart
be
giuen
vnto
him,
and
let
seuen
times
passe
ouer
him.
4:17 This
matter
is
by
the
decree
of
the
watchers,
and
the
demaund
by
the
word
of
the
Holy
ones:
to
the
intent
that
the
liuing
may
know,
that
the
most
High
ruleth
in
the
kingdome
of
men,
and
giueth
it
to
whomsoeuer
hee
will,
and
setteth
vp
ouer
it
the
basest
of
men.
4:18 This
dreame,
I
king
Nebuchadnezzar
haue
seene:
Now
thou,
O
Belteshazzar,
declare
the
interpretation
thereof,
forasmuch
as
all
the
Wise
men
of
my
kingdome
are
not
able
to
make
knowen
vnto
mee
the
interpretation:
but
thou
art
able,
for
the
spirit
of
the
holy
Gods
is
in
thee.
4:19 Then
Daniel
(whose
name
was
Belteshazzar)
was
astonied
for
one
houre,
and
his
thoughts
troubled
him:
The
King
spake,
and
said,
Belteshazzar,
let
not
the
dreame,
or
the
interpretation
thereof
trouble
thee.
Belteshazzar
answered;
and
said;
My
lord,
the
dreame
be
to
them
that
hate
thee,
and
the
interpretation
thereof
to
thine
enemies.
4:20 The
tree
that
thou
sawest,
which
grew,
and
was
strong,
whose
height
reached
vnto
the
heauen,
and
the
sight
thereof
to
all
the
earth:
4:21 Whose
leaues
were
faire,
and
the
fruit
thereof
much,
and
in
it
was
meate
for
all,
vnder
which
the
beasts
of
the
field
dwelt,
and
vpon
whose
branches
the
foules
of
the
heauen
had
their
habitation:
4:22 It
is
thou,
O
King,
that
art
growen
and
become
strong:
for
thy
greatnesse
is
growen
and
reacheth
vnto
heauen,
and
thy
dominion
to
the
end
of
the
earth.
4:23 And
whereas
the
King
saw
a
watcher,
and
an
holy
one
comming
downe
from
heauen,
and
saying,
Hew
the
tree
downe,
and
destroy
it,
yet
leaue
the
stumpe
of
the
rootes
thereof
in
the
earth,
euen
with
a
band
of
yron
and
brasse
in
the
tender
grasse
of
the
field,
and
let
it
be
wet
with
the
dewe
of
heauen,
and
let
his
portion
be
with
the
beasts
of
the
field,
till
seuen
times
passe
ouer
him:
4:24 This
is
the
interpretation,
O
king,
&
this
is
the
decree
of
the
most
Hie,
which
is
come
vpon
my
lord
the
king:
4:25 That
they
shall
driue
thee
from
men,
and
thy
dwelling
shall
be
with
the
beasts
of
the
field,
and
they
shall
make
thee
to
eate
grasse
as
oxen,
and
they
shall
wet
thee
with
the
dew
of
heauen,
and
seuen
times
shall
passe
ouer
thee,
till
thou
know
that
the
most
high
ruleth
in
the
kingdome
of
men,
and
giueth
it
to
whomsoeuer
he
will.
4:26 And
whereas
they
commanded
to
leaue
the
stumpe
of
the
tree
rootes;
thy
kingdome
shall
be
sure
vnto
thee,
after
that
thou
shalt
haue
knowen
that
the
heauens
doe
rule.
4:27 Wherefore,
O
King,
let
my
counsell
be
acceptable
vnto
thee,
and
breake
off
thy
sinnes
by
righteousnesse,
and
thine
iniquities
by
shewing
mercy
to
the
poore;
if
it
may
be
a
lengthening
of
thy
tranquillitie.
4:28 All
this
came
vpon
the
King
Nebuchad-nezzar.
4:29 At
the
end
of
twelue
moneths
he
walked
in
the
palace
of
the
kingdome
of
Babylon.
4:30 The
King
spake,
and
said,
Is
not
this
great
Babylon,
that
I
haue
built
for
the
house
of
the
kingdome,
by
the
might
of
my
power,
and
for
the
honour
of
my
maiestie
4:31 While
the
word
was
in
the
Kings
mouth,
there
fell
a
voice
from
heauen,
saying,
O
King
Nebuchad-nezzar,
to
thee
it
is
spoken;
The
kingdome
is
departed
from
thee.
4:32 And
they
shall
driue
thee
from
men,
and
thy
dwelling
shall
be
with
the
beasts
of
the
field;
they
shall
make
thee
to
eate
grasse
as
oxen,
and
seuen
times
shall
passe
ouer
thee,
vntill
thou
know
that
the
most
high
ruleth
in
the
kingdome
of
men,
and
giueth
it
to
whomsoeuer
he
will.
4:33 The
same
houre
was
the
thing
fulfilled
vpon
Nebuchad-nezzar,
and
he
was
driuen
from
men,
and
did
eate
grasse
as
oxen,
and
his
body
was
wet
with
the
dew
of
heauen,
till
his
haires
were
growen
like
Egles
feathers,
and
his
nailes
like
birds
clawes.
4:34 And
at
the
end
of
the
dayes,
I
Nebuchad-nezzar
lift
vp
mine
eyes
vnto
heauen,
and
mine
vnderstanding
returned
vnto
me,
and
I
blessed
the
most
high,
and
I
praised,
and
honoured
him
that
liueth
for
euer,
whose
dominion
is
an
euerlasting
dominion,
and
his
kingdome
is
from
generation
to
generation.
4:35 And
all
the
inhabitants
of
the
earth
are
reputed
as
nothing:
and
hee
doth
according
to
his
will
in
the
armie
of
heauen,
and
among
the
inhabitants
of
the
earth:
and
none
can
stay
his
hand,
or
say
vnto
him,
What
doest
thou
4:36 At
the
same
time
my
reason
returned
vnto
me,
and
for
the
glory
of
my
kingdome,
mine
honour,
and
brightnes
returned
vnto
me,
and
my
counsellers,
and
my
Lords
sought
vnto
me,
and
I
was
established
in
my
kingdome,
and
excellent
Maiestie
was
added
vnto
me.
4:37 Now
I
Nebuchad-nezzar
praise,
and
extoll
and
honour
the
King
of
heauen,
all
whose
workes
are
trthh,
and
his
waies
iudgement,
and
those
that
walke
in
pride
he
is
able
to
abase.
