Daniel 2

2:1 And in the second <G 8147> year <G 8141> of the reign <G
4438> of Nebuchadnezzar <G 5019> Nebuchadnezzar <G 5019> dreamed
<G 2492> dreams <G 2472>, wherewith his spirit <G 7307> was
troubled <G 6470>, and his sleep <G 8142> brake <G 1961> from
him.

2:2 Then the king <G 4428> commanded <G 0559> to call <G 7121>
the magicians <G 2748>, and the astrologers <G 0825>, and the
sorcerers <G 3784>, and the Chaldeans <G 3779>, for to shew <G
5046> the king <G 4428> his dreams <G 2472>. So they came <G
0935> and stood <G 5975> before <G 6440> the king <G 4428>.

2:3 And the king <G 4428> said <G 0559> unto them, I have
dreamed <G 2492> a dream <G 2472>, and my spirit < G 7307> was
troubled <G 6470> to know <G 3045> the dream <G 2472>.

2:4 Then spake <G 1696> the Chaldeans <G 3779> to the king <G
4428> in Syriack <G 0762>, O king <G 4430>, live <G 2418> for
ever <G 5957>: tell <G 0560> thy servants <G 5649> the dream <G
2493>, and we will shew <G 2324> the interpretation < G 6591>.

2:5 The king <G 4430> answered <G 6032> and said < G 0560> to the
Chaldeans <G 3779>, The thing <G 4406> is gone <G 0230> from me:
if <G 2006> ye will not make known <G 3046> unto me the dream <G
2493>, with the interpretation <G 6591> thereof, ye shall be cut
<G 5648> in pieces <G 1917>, and your houses <G 1005> shall be
made <G 7761> a dunghill <G 5122>.

2:6 But if <G 2006> ye shew <G 2324> the dream <G 2493>, and the
interpretation <G 6591> thereof, ye shall receive <G 6902> of me
gifts <G 4978> and rewards <G 5023> and great <G 7690> honour <G
3367>: therefore <G 2006> shew <G 2324> me the dream <G 2493>,
and the interpretation <G 6591> thereof.

2:7 They answered <G 6032> again <G 8579> and said <G 0560>, Let
the king <G 4430> tell <G 0560> his servants <G 5649> the dream
<G 2493>, and we will shew <G 2324> the interpretation <G 6591>
of it.

2:8 The king <G 4430> answered <G 6032> and said < G 0560>, I
know <G 3046> of certainty <G 3330> that ye would gain <G 2084>
the time <G 5732>, because ye see <G 2370> the thing <G 4406> is
gone <G 0230> from me.

2:9 But if <G 2006> ye will not make known <G 3046> unto me the
dream <G 2493>, [there is but] one <G 2298> decree <G 1882> for
you: for ye have prepared <G 2164> lying <G 3538> and corrupt <G
7844> words <G 4406> to speak <G 0560> before < G 6925> me, till
<G 5704> the time <G 5732> be changed <G 8133>: therefore <G
2006> tell <G 0560> me the dream <G 2493>, and I shall know <G
3046> that ye can shew <G 2324> me the interpretation <G 6591>
thereof.

2:10 The Chaldeans <G 3779> answered <G 6032> before <G 6925>
the king <G 4430>, and said <G 0560>, There is not a man <G
0606> upon the earth <G 3007> that can <G 3202> shew <G 2324>
the king's <G 4430> matter <G 4406>: therefore [there is] no
king <G 4430>, lord <G 7229>, nor ruler <G 7990> , [that] asked
<G 7593> such <G 1836> things at any <G 3606> magician <G 2749>,
or astrologer <G 0826>, or Chaldean <G 3777>.

2:11 And [it is] a rare <G 3358> thing <G 4406> that the king <G
4430> requireth <G 7593>, and there is none <G 3809> other <G
0321> that can shew <G 2324> it before <G 6925> the king <G
4430>, except <G 3861> the gods <G 0426>, whose <G 1768>
dwelling <G 4070> is not with flesh <G 1321>.

2:12 For this <G 1836> cause the king <G 4430> was angry <G
1149> and very <G 7690> furious <G 7108>, and commanded <G 0560>
to destroy <G 7> all <G 3606> the wise <G 2445> [men] of Babylon
<G 0895>.

2:13 And the decree <G 1882> went <G 5312> forth < G 5312> that
the wise <G 2445> [men] should be slain <G 6992>; and they
sought <G 1158> Daniel <G 1841> and his fellows <G 2269> to be
slain <G 6992>.

2:14 Then <G 0116> Daniel <G 1841> answered <G 8421> with
counsel <G 5843> and wisdom <G 2942> to Arioch <G 0746> the
captain <G 7229> of the king's <G 4430> guard <G 2877>, which <G
1768> was gone <G 5312> forth <G 5312> to slay < G 6992> the wise
<G 2445> [men] of Babylon <G 0895>:

2:15 He answered <G 6032> and said <G 0560> to Arioch <G 0746>
the king's <G 4430> captain <G 7990>, Why [is] the decree <G
1882> [so] hasty <G 2685> from the king <G 4430>? Then <G 0116>
Arioch <G 0746> made the thing <G 4406> known <G 3046> to Daniel
<G 1841>.

2:16 Then Daniel <G 1841> went <G 5954> in, and desired <G 1156>
of the king <G 4430> that he would give <G 5415> him time <G
2166>, and that he would shew <G 2324> the king <G 4430> the
interpretation <G 6591>.

2:17 Then <G 0116> Daniel <G 1841> went <G 0236> to his house <G
1005>, and made the thing <G 4406> known <G 3046> to Hananiah <G
2608>, Mishael <G 4332>, and Azariah <G 5839>, his companions <G
2269>:

2:18 That they would desire <G 1156> mercies <G 7359> of the God
<G 0426> of heaven <G 8065> concerning <G 5922> this <G 1836>
secret <G 7328>; that Daniel <G 1841> and his fellows <G 2269>
should not perish <G 7> with the rest <G 7606> of the wise <G
2445> [men] of Babylon <G 0895>.

2:19 Then <G 0116> was the secret <G 7328> revealed <G 1541>
unto Daniel <G 1841> in a night <G 3916> vision <G 2376>. Then
<G 0116> Daniel <G 1841> blessed <G 1289> the God <G 0426> of
heaven <G 8065>.

2:20 Daniel <G 1841> answered <G 6032> and said <G 0560>,
Blessed <G 1289> be the name <G 8036> of God <G 0426> for ever
<G 5957> and ever <G 5957>: for wisdom <G 2452> and might <G
1370> are his:

2:21 And he changeth <G 8133> the times <G 5732> and the seasons
<G 2166>: he removeth <G 5709> kings <G 4430>, and setteth <G
6966> up kings <G 4430>: he giveth <G 3052> wisdom <G 2452> unto
the wise <G 2445>, and knowledge <G 0998> to them that know <G
3046> understanding <G 0999>:

2:22 He revealeth <G 1541> the deep <G 5994> and secret <G 5642>
things: he knoweth <G 3046> what <G 4101> [is] in the darkness
<G 2816>, and the light <G 5094> dwelleth <G 8271> with him.

2:23 I thank <G 3029> thee, and praise <G 7624> thee, O thou God
<G 0426> of my fathers <G 2>, who <G 1768> hast given <G 3052>
me wisdom <G 2452> and might <G 1370>, and hast made known <G
3046> unto me now <G 3705> what <G 1768> we desired <G 1156> of
thee: for thou hast [now <G 3705>] made known <G 3046> unto us
the king's <G 4430> matter <G 4406>.

2:24 Therefore Daniel <G 1841> went <G 5954> in unto Arioch <G
0746>, whom <G 1768> the king <G 4430> had ordained <G 4483> to
destroy <G 7> the wise <G 2445> [men] of Babylon < G 0895>: he
went <G 0236> and said <G 0560> thus <G 3652> unto him; Destroy
<G 7> not the wise <G 2445> [men] of Babylon <G 0895>: bring <G
5924> me in before <G 6925> the king <G 4430>, and I will shew
<G 2324> unto the king <G 4430> the interpretation <G 6591>.

2:25 Then <G 0116> Arioch <G 0746> brought <G 5954> in Daniel <G
1841> before <G 6925> the king <G 4430> in haste <G 0927>, and
said <G 0560> thus <G 3652> unto him, I have found <G 4672> a
man <G 1400> of the captives of Judah <G 3061>, that will make
known <G 3046> unto the king <G 4430> the interpretation <G
6591>.

2:26 The king <G 4430> answered <G 6032> and said < G 0560> to
Daniel <G 1841>, whose <G 1768> name <G 8036> [was] Belteshazzar
<G 1096>, Art <G 0383> thou able <G 3546> to make known <G 3046>
unto me the dream <G 2493> which <G 1768> I have seen <G 2370>,
and the interpretation <G 6591> thereof?

2:27 Daniel <G 1841> answered <G 6032> in the presence <G 6925>
of the king <G 4430>, and said <G 0560>, The secret <G 7328>
which <G 1768> the king <G 4430> hath demanded <G 7593> cannot
the wise <G 2445> [men], the astrologers <G 0826>, the magicians
<G 2749>, the soothsayers <G 1505>, shew <G 2324> unto the king
<G 4430>;

2:28 But there is a God <G 0426> in heaven <G 8065> that
revealeth <G 1541> secrets <G 7328>, and maketh known <G 3046>
to the king <G 4430> Nebuchadnezzar <G 5020> what < G 4101> shall
be in the latter <G 0320> days <G 3118>. Thy dream <G 2493>, and
the visions <G 2376> of thy head <G 7217> upon thy bed <G 4903>,
are these <G 1836>;

2:29 As for thee, O king <G 4430>, thy thoughts <G 7476> came <G
5559> [into thy mind] upon thy bed <G 4903>, what <G 4101>
should come <G 1934> to pass hereafter: and he that revealeth <G
1541> secrets <G 7328> maketh known <G 3046> to thee what <G
4101> shall come <G 1934> to pass.

2:30 But as for me, this <G 1836> secret <G 7328> is not
revealed <G 1541> to me for [any] wisdom <G 2452> that I have <G
0383> more <G 4481> than <G 4481> any <G 3606> living <G 2417>,
but for [their] sakes <G 1701> that shall make known <G 3046>
the interpretation <G 6591> to the king <G 4430>, and that thou
mightest know <G 3046> the thoughts <G 7476> of thy heart <G
3825>.

2:31 Thou, O king <G 4430>, sawest <G 2370>, and behold <G 0431>
a great <G 7690> image <G 6755>. This <G 1797> great <G 7229>
image <G 6755>, whose brightness <G 2122> [was] excellent <G
3493>, stood <G 6966> before <G 6903> thee; and the form <G
7299> thereof [was] terrible <G 1763>.

2:32 This <G 1931> image's <G 6755> head <G 7217> [was] of fine
<G 2869> gold <G 1722>, his breast <G 2306> and his arms <G
1672> of silver <G 3702>, his belly <G 4577> and his thighs <G
3410> of brass <G 5174>,

2:33 His legs <G 8243> of iron <G 6523>, his feet < G 7271> part
<G 4481> of iron <G 6523> and part <G 4481> of clay <G 2635>.

2:34 Thou sawest <G 2370> till <G 5704> that a stone <G 69> was
cut <G 1505> out without hands <G 3028>, which smote <G 4223>
the image <G 6755> upon his feet <G 7271> [that were] of iron <G
6523> and clay <G 2635>, and brake <G 1855> them to pieces.

2:35 Then <G 0116> was the iron <G 6523>, the clay <G 2635>, the
brass <G 5174>, the silver <G 3702>, and the gold < G 1722>,
broken <G 1854> to pieces together <G 2298>, and became <G 1934>
like the chaff <G 5784> of the summer <G 7007> threshingfloors
<G 0147>; and the wind <G 7308> carried <G 5376> them away, that
no place <G 0870> was found <G 7912> for them: and the stone <G
69> that smote <G 4223> the image <G 6755> became <G 1934> a
great <G 7229> mountain <G 2906>, and filled <G 4391> the whole
<G 3606> earth <G 0772>.

2:36 This <G 1836> [is] the dream <G 2493>; and we will tell <G
0560> the interpretation <G 6591> thereof before <G 6925> the
king <G 4430>.

2:37 Thou, O king <G 4430>, [art] a king <G 4430> of kings <G
4430>: for the God <G 0426> of heaven <G 8065> hath given <G
3052> thee a kingdom <G 4437>, power <G 2632>, and strength <G
8632>, and glory <G 3367>.

2:38 And wheresoever the children <G 1123> of men <G 0606> dwell
<G 1753>, the beasts <G 2423> of the field <G 1251> and the
fowls <G 5776> of the heaven <G 8065> hath he given <G 3052>
into thine hand <G 3028>, and hath made thee ruler <G 7981> over
them all <G 3606>. Thou [art] this <G 1931> head < G 7217> of
gold <G 1722>.

2:39 And after <G 0870> thee shall arise <G 6965> another <G
0317> kingdom <G 4437> inferior <G 0772> to thee, and another <G
0317> third <G 8523> kingdom <G 4437> of brass < G 5174>, which
<G 1768> shall bear <G 7981> rule <G 7981> over all <G 3606> the
earth <G 0772>.

2:40 And the fourth <G 7244> kingdom <G 4437> shall be strong <G
8624> as iron <G 6523>: forasmuch as iron <G 6523> breaketh <G
1855> in pieces and subdueth <G 2827> all <G 3606> [things]: and
as iron <G 6523> that breaketh <G 7940> all <G 3606> these <G
0459>, shall it break <G 1854> in pieces and bruise < G 7490>.

2:41 And whereas <G 1768> thou sawest <G 2370> the feet <G 7271>
and toes <G 0677>, part <G 4481> of potters <G 6353>' clay <G
2635>, and part <G 4481> of iron <G 6523>, the kingdom <G 4437>
shall be divided <G 6386>; but there shall be in it of the
strength <G 5326> of the iron <G 6523>, forasmuch as thou sawest
<G 2370> the iron <G 6523> mixed <G 6151> with miry <G 2917>
clay <G 2635>.

2:42 And [as] the toes <G 0677> of the feet <G 7271> [were] part
<G 4481> of iron <G 6523>, and part <G 4481> of clay <G 2635>,
[so] the kingdom <G 4437> shall be partly <G 7118> strong <G
8624>, and partly <G 7118> broken <G 8406>.

2:43 And whereas <G 1768> thou sawest <G 2370> iron <G 6523>
mixed <G 6151> with miry <G 2917> clay <G 2635>, they shall
mingle <G 6151> themselves with the seed <G 2234> of men <G
0606>: but they shall not cleave <G 1693> one <G 1836> to
another <G 1836>, even <G 1887> as iron <G 6523> is not mixed <G
6151> with clay <G 2635>.

2:44 And in the days <G 3118> of these <G 0581> kings <G 4430>
shall the God <G 0426> of heaven <G 8065> set <G 6966> up a
kingdom <G 4437>, which <G 1768> shall never be destroyed <G
2255>: and the kingdom <G 4437> shall not be left <G 7662> to
other <G 0321> people <G 5972>, [but] it shall break <G 1854> in
pieces and consume <G 5487> all <G 3606> these <G 0459> kingdoms
<G 4437>, and it shall stand <G 6966> for ever <G 5957>.

2:45 Forasmuch as thou sawest <G 2370> that the stone <G 69> was
cut <G 1505> out of the mountain <G 2906> without hands <G 3028>,
and that it brake <G 1855> in pieces the iron <G 6523>, the
brass <G 5174>, the clay <G 2635>, the silver <G 3702>, and the
gold <G 1722>; the great <G 7229> God <G 0426> hath made known
<G 3046> to the king <G 4430> what <G 4101> shall come <G 1934>
to pass hereafter: and the dream <G 2493> [is] certain < G 3330>,
and the interpretation <G 6591> thereof sure <G 0546>.

2:46 Then <G 0116> the king <G 4430> Nebuchadnezzar <G 5020>
fell <G 5308> upon his face <G 0600>, and worshipped <G 5457>
Daniel <G 1841>, and commanded <G 0560> that they should offer
<G 5260> an oblation <G 8641> and sweet <G 5208> odours <G 5208>
unto him.

2:47 The king <G 4430> answered <G 6032> unto Daniel <G 1841>,
and said <G 0560>, Of a truth <G 7187> [it is], that your God <G
0426> [is] a God <G 0426> of gods <G 0426>, and a Lord <G 4756>
of kings <G 4430>, and a revealer <G 1541> of secrets <G 7328>,
seeing <G 1768> thou couldest <G 3202> reveal <G 1541> this <G
1836> secret <G 7328>.

2:48 Then <G 0116> the king <G 4430> made <G 7236> Daniel <G
1841> a great <G 7236> man, and gave <G 3052> him many <G 7690>
great <G 7260> gifts <G 4978>, and made him ruler < G 7981> over
<G 5922> the whole <G 3606> province <G 4083> of Babylon <G
0895>, and chief <G 7229> of the governors <G 5461> over <G
5922> all <G 3606> the wise <G 2445> [men] of Babylon <G 0895>.

2:49 Then Daniel <G 1841> requested <G 1156> of the king <G
4430>, and he set <G 4483> Shadrach <G 7715>, Meshach <G 4336>,
and Abednego <G 5665>, over <G 5922> the affairs < G 5673> of the
province <G 4083> of Babylon <G 0895>: but Daniel < G 1841> [sat]
in the gate <G 8651> of the king <G 4430>.
