Daniel 4

1. Nebuchadnezzar <5020 N@buwkadnetstsar > the king < 4430 melek
>, unto all

<3606 kol > people <5972 <am >, nations <0524 >ummah >, and
languages <3961

lishshan >, that dwell <1753 duwr > in all <3606 kol > the earth
<0772 >ara<

>; Peace <8001 sh@lam > be multiplied <7680 s@ga> > unto you.

2 I thought it good <8232 sh@phar > to shew <2324 chava> > the
signs <0852

>ath > and wonders <8540 t@mahh > that the high < 5943 <illay >
God <0426

>elahh > hath wrought <5648 <abad > toward < 5974 <im > me.

3 How <4101 mah > great <7260 rabrab > [are] his signs <0852
>ath >! and how

<4101 mah > mighty <8624 taqqiyph > [are] his wonders <8540
t@mahh >! his

kingdom <4437 malkuw > [is] an everlasting <5957 < alam > kingdom
<4437 malkuw

>, and his dominion <7985 sholtan > [is] from generation <1859
dar > to

generation <1859 dar >.

4. I Nebuchadnezzar <5020 N@buwkadnetstsar > was at rest <7954
sh@lah > in

mine house <1005 bayith >, and flourishing <7487 ra< anan > in my
palace <1965

heykal >:

5 I saw <2370 chaza> > a dream <2493 chelem > which made me
afraid <1763

d@chal >, and the thoughts <2031 harhor > upon my bed <4903
mishkab > and the

visions <2376 chezev > of my head <7217 re>sh > troubled <0927
b@hal > me.

6 Therefore made <7761 suwm > I a decree <2942 t@<em > to bring
<5924 <ella>

> in all <3606 kol > the wise <2445 chakkiym > [men] of Babylon
<0895 Babel >

before <6925 qodam > me, that they might make known < 3046 y@da<
> unto me the

interpretation <6591 p@shar > of the dream <2493 chelem >.

7 Then <0116 >edayin > came <5954 <alal > in the magicians
<2749 chartom >,

the astrologers <0826 >ashshaph >, the Chaldeans < 3779 Kasday >,
and the

soothsayers <1505 g@zar >: and I told <0560 >amar > the dream
<2493 chelem >

before <6925 qodam > them; but they did not make known < 3046
y@da< > unto me

the interpretation <6591 p@shar > thereof.

8 But at <5706 <ad > the last <0318 >ochoreyn > Daniel <1841
Daniye>l > came

<5954 <alal > in before me, whose <1768 diy > name <8036 shum >
[was]

Belteshazzar <1096 Belt@sha>tstsar >, according to the name
<8036 shum > of

my god <0426 >elahh >, and in whom <1768 diy > [is] the spirit
<7308 ruwach >

of the holy <6922 qaddiysh > gods <0426 >elahh >: and before
<6925 qodam >

him I told <0560 >amar > the dream <2493 chelem >, [saying],

9 O Belteshazzar <1096 Belt@sha>tstsar >, master < 0729 >araz >
of the

magicians <2749 chartom >, because <1768 diy > I know <3046
y@da< > that the

spirit <7308 ruwach > of the holy <6922 qaddiysh > gods <0426
>elahh > [is]

in thee, and no secret <7328 raz > troubleth <0598 > anac > thee,
tell <0560

>amar > me the visions <2376 chezev > of my dream < 2493 chelem >
that I have

seen <2370 chaza> >, and the interpretation <6591 p@shar >
thereof.

10 Thus [were] the visions <2376 chezev > of mine head < 7217
re>sh > in my

bed <4903 mishkab >; I saw <2370 chaza> >, and behold <0431
>aluw > a tree

<0363 >iylan > in the midst <1459 gav > of the earth <0772 >ara<
>, and the

height <7314 ruwm > thereof [was] great <7690 saggiy> >.

11 The tree <0363 >iylan > grew <7236 r@bah >, and was strong
<8631 t@qeph

>, and the height <7314 ruwm > thereof reached <4291 m@ta> >
unto heaven

<8065 shamayin >, and the sight <2379 chazowth > thereof to the
end <5491

cowph > of all <3606 kol > the earth <0772 >ara< >:

12 The leaves <6074 <ophiy > thereof [were] fair < 8509 takriyk
>, and the

fruit <4> thereof much <7690 saggiy> >, and in it [was] meat
<4203 mazown >

for all <3606 kol >: the beasts <2423 cheyva> > of the field
<1251 bar > had

shadow <2927 t@lal > under <8460 t@chowth > it, and the fowls
<6853 ts@phar >

of the heaven <8065 shamayin > dwelt <1753 duwr > in the boughs
<6056 <anaph

> thereof, and all <3606 kol > flesh <1321 b@sar > was fed <2110
zuwn > of

it.

13 I saw <2370 chaza> > in the visions <2376 chezev > of my
head <7217 re>sh

> upon my bed <4903 mishkab >, and, behold <0431 > aluw >, a
watcher <5894

<iyr > and an holy <6922 qaddiysh > one came <5182 n@chath >
down <5182

n@chath > from heaven <8065 shamayin >;

14 He cried <7123 q@ra> > aloud <2429 chayil >, and said <0560
>amar > thus

<3652 ken >, Hew <1414 g@dad > down the tree <0363 >iylan >, and
cut <7113

q@tsats > off his branches <6056 <anaph >, shake < 5426 n@ther >
off <0575 >an

> his leaves <6074 <ophiy >, and scatter <0921 b@dar > his fruit
<4>: let the

beasts <2423 cheyva> > get <5111 nuwd > away < 5111 nuwd > from
under <8478

tachath > it, and the fowls <6853 ts@phar > from his branches
<6056 <anaph >:

15 Nevertheless <1297 b@ram > leave <7662 sh@baq > the stump
<6136 <iqqar >

of his roots <8330 shoresh > in the earth <0772 > ara< >, even
with a band

<0613 >ecuwr > of iron <6523 parzel > and brass <5174 n@chash >,
in the

tender grass <1883 dethe> > of the field <1251 bar >; and let it
be wet <6647

ts@ba< > with the dew <2920 tal > of heaven <8065 shamayin >,
and [let] his

portion <2508 chalaq > [be] with the beasts <2423 cheyva> > in
the grass

<6211 <ash > of the earth <0772 >ara< >:

16 Let his heart <3825 l@bab > be changed <8133 sh@na> > from
man's <0606

>enash >, and let a beast's <2423 cheyva> > heart <3825 l@bab >
be given

<3052 y@hab > unto him; and let seven <7655 shib<ah > times
<5732 <iddan >

pass <2499 chalaph > over <5922 <al > him.

17 This matter <6600 pithgam > [is] by the decree <1510 g@zerah
> of the

watchers <5894 <iyr >, and the demand <7595 sh@> ela> > by the
word <3983

me>mar > of the holy <6922 qaddiysh > ones: to the intent <1701
dibrah > that

the living <2417 chay > may know <3046 y@da< > that the most
<5943 <illay >

High <5943 <illay > ruleth <7980 shalat > in the kingdom <4437
malkuw > of

men <0606 >enash >, and giveth <5415 n@than > it to whomsoever
<4479 man > he

will <6634 ts@ba> >, and setteth <6966 quwm > up over <5922 <al
> it the

basest <8215 sh@phal > of men <0606 >enash >.

18 This <1836 den > dream <2493 chelem > I king < 4430 melek >
Nebuchadnezzar

<5020 N@buwkadnetstsar > have seen <2370 chaza> >. Now thou, O
Belteshazzar

<1096 Belt@sha>tstsar >, declare <0560 >amar > the
interpretation <6591

p@shar > thereof, forasmuch as all <3606 kol > the wise <2445
chakkiym >

[men] of my kingdom <4437 malkuw > are not able <3202 y@kel > to
make known

<3046 y@da< > unto me the interpretation <6591 p@shar >: but
thou [art] able

<3546 k@hal >; for the spirit <7308 ruwach > of the holy <6922
qaddiysh >

gods <0426 >elahh > [is] in thee.

19. Then <0116 >edayin > Daniel <1841 Daniye>l >, whose <1768
diy > name

<8036 shum > [was] Belteshazzar <1096 Belt@sha>tstsar >, was
astonied <8075

sh@mam > for one <2298 chad > hour <8160 sha<ah >, and his
thoughts <7476

ra<yown > troubled <0927 b@hal > him. The king < 4430 melek >
spake <6032

<anah >, and said <0560 >amar >, Belteshazzar < 1096
Belt@sha>tstsar >, let

not the dream <2493 chelem >, or the interpretation < 6591 p@shar
> thereof,

trouble <0927 b@hal > thee. Belteshazzar <1096 Belt@sha>tstsar >
answered

<6032 <anah > and said <0560 >amar >, My lord <4756 mare> >, the
dream <2493

chelem > [be] to them that hate <8131 s@ne> > thee, and the
interpretation

<6591 p@shar > thereof to thine enemies <6146 <ar > .

20 The tree <0363 >iylan > that thou sawest <2370 chaza> >,
which <1768 diy

> grew <7236 r@bah >, and was strong <8631 t@qeph > , whose
height <7314 ruwm

> reached <4291 m@ta> > unto the heaven <8065 shamayin >, and
the sight <2379

chazowth > thereof to all <3606 kol > the earth <0772 >ara< >;

21 Whose leaves <6074 <ophiy > [were] fair <8509 takriyk >, and
the fruit

<4> thereof much <7690 saggiy> >, and in it [was] meat <4203
mazown > for all

<3606 kol >; under <8460 t@chowth > which the beasts <2423
cheyva> > of the

field <1251 bar > dwelt <1753 duwr >, and upon whose branches
<6056 <anaph >

the fowls <6853 ts@phar > of the heaven <8065 shamayin > had
their habitation

<7932 sh@kan >:

22 It [is] thou, O king <4430 melek >, that art grown < 7236
r@bah > and

become <8631 t@qeph > strong <8631 t@qeph >: for thy greatness
<7238 r@buw >

is grown <7236 r@bah >, and reacheth <4291 m@ta> > unto heaven
<8065 shamayin

>, and thy dominion <7985 sholtan > to the end <5491 cowph > of
the earth

<0772 >ara< >.

23 And whereas <1768 diy > the king <4430 melek > saw <2370
chaza> > a

watcher <5894 <iyr > and an holy <6922 qaddiysh > one coming
<5182 n@chath >

down <5182 n@chath > from heaven <8065 shamayin >, and saying
<0560 >amar >,

Hew <1414 g@dad > the tree <0363 >iylan > down, and destroy
<2255 chabal >

it; yet <1297 b@ram > leave <7662 sh@baq > the stump <6136
<iqqar > of the

roots <8330 shoresh > thereof in the earth <0772 > ara< >, even
with a band

<0613 >ecuwr > of iron <6523 parzel > and brass <5174 n@chash >,
in the

tender grass <1883 dethe> > of the field <1251 bar >; and let it
be wet <6647

ts@ba< > with the dew <2920 tal > of heaven <8065 shamayin >,
and [let] his

portion <2508 chalaq > [be] with the beasts <2423 cheyva> > of
the field

<1251 bar >, till <5704 <ad > seven <7655 shib<ah > times <5732
<iddan > pass

<2499 chalaph > over <5922 <al > him;

24 This <1836 den > [is] the interpretation <6591 p@shar >, O
king <4430

melek >, and this <1931 huw> > [is] the decree < 1510 g@zerah >
of the most

<5943 <illay > High <5943 <illay >, which < 1768 diy > is come
<4291 m@ta> >

upon my lord <4756 mare> > the king <4430 melek >:

25 That they shall drive <2957 t@rad > thee from men < 0606
>enash >, and thy

dwelling <4070 m@dowr > shall be with the beasts <2423 cheyva> >
of the field

<1251 bar >, and they shall make thee to eat <2939 t@< am > grass
<6211 <ash >

as oxen <8450 towr >, and they shall wet <6647 ts@ba< > thee
with the dew

<2920 tal > of heaven <8065 shamayin >, and seven < 7655 shib<ah
> times <5732

<iddan > shall pass <2499 chalaph > over <5922 < al > thee, till
<5704 <ad >

thou know <3046 y@da< > that the most <5943 <illay > High ruleth
<7980 shalat

giveth <5415

n@than > it to whomsoever <4479 man > he will <6634 ts@ba> >.

26 And whereas <1768 diy > they commanded <0560 > amar > to
leave <7662

sh@baq > the stump <6136 <iqqar > of the tree < 0363 >iylan >
roots <8330

shoresh >; thy kingdom <4437 malkuw > shall be sure < 7011 qayam
> unto thee,

after <1767 day > that thou shalt have known <3046 y@da< > that
the heavens

<8065 shamayin > do rule <7990 shalliyt >.

27 Wherefore <3861 lawhen >, O king <4430 melek >, let my
counsel <4431

m@lak > be acceptable <8232 sh@phar > unto thee, and break <6562
p@raq > off

thy sins <2408 chatiy > by righteousness <6665 tsidqah >, and
thine

iniquities <5758 <ivya> > by shewing mercy <2604 chanan > to the
poor <6033

<anah >; if <2006 hen > it may be a lengthening < 0754 >arka> >
of thy

tranquillity <7963 sh@levah >.

28. All <3606 kol > this came <4291 m@ta> > upon the king <4430
melek >

Nebuchadnezzar <5020 N@buwkadnetstsar >.

29 At the end <7118 q@tsath > of twelve months <3393 y@rach >
he walked

<1981 halak > in the palace <1965 heykal > of the kingdom <4437
malkuw > of

Babylon <0895 Babel >.

30 The king <4430 melek > spake <6032 <anah >, and said <0560
>amar >, Is

not this <1668 da> > great <7227 rab > Babylon < 0895 Babel >,
that I have

built <1124 b@na> > for the house <1005 bayith > of the kingdom
<4437 malkuw

> by the might <8632 t@qoph > of my power <2632 checen >, and
for the honour

<3367 y@qar > of my majesty <1923 hadar >?

31 While <5751 <owd > the word <4406 millah > [was] in the
king's <4430

melek > mouth <6433 pum >, there fell <5308 n@phal > a voice
<7032 qal > from

heaven <8065 shamayin >, [saying], O king <4430 melek >
Nebuchadnezzar <5020

N@buwkadnetstsar >, to thee it is spoken <0560 >amar > ; The
kingdom <4437

malkuw > is departed <5709 <ada> > from thee.

32 And they shall drive <2957 t@rad > thee from men < 0606
>enash >, and thy

dwelling <4070 m@dowr > [shall be] with the beasts <2423 cheyva>
> of the

field <1251 bar >: they shall make thee to eat <2939 t@<am >
grass <6211 <ash

> as oxen <8450 towr >, and seven <7655 shib<ah > times <5732
<iddan > shall

pass <2499 chalaph > over <5922 <al > thee, until <5704 <ad >
thou know <3046

y@da< > that the most <5943 <illay > High <5943 <illay > ruleth
<7980 shalat

> in the kingdom <4437 malkuw > of men <0606 > enash >, and
giveth <5415

n@than > it to whomsoever <4479 man > he will <6634 ts@ba> >.

33 The same hour <8160 sha<ah > was the thing <4406 millah >
fulfilled <5487

cuwph > upon Nebuchadnezzar <5020 N@buwkadnetstsar >: and he was
driven <2957

t@rad > from men <0606 >enash >, and did eat <0399 >akal > grass
<6211 <ash >

as oxen <8450 towr >, and his body <1655 geshem > was wet <6647
ts@ba< > with

the dew <2920 tal > of heaven <8065 shamayin >, till <5704 <ad >
his hairs

<8177 s@<ar > were grown <7236 r@bah > like eagles <5403 n@shar
>'

[feathers], and his nails <2953 t@phar > like birds < 6853
ts@phar >' [claws].

34. And at the end <7118 q@tsath > of the days <3118 yowm > I
Nebuchadnezzar

<5020 N@buwkadnetstsar > lifted <5191 n@tal > up mine eyes <5870
<ayin > unto

heaven <8065 shamayin >, and mine understanding <4486 manda< >
returned <7725

shuwb > unto me, and I blessed <1289 b@rak > the most <5943
<illay > High

<5943 <illay >, and I praised <7624 sh@bach > and honoured <1922
hadar > him

that liveth <2416 chay > for ever <5957 <alam >, whose <1768 diy
> dominion

<7985 sholtan > [is] an everlasting <5957 <alam > dominion <7985
sholtan >,

and his kingdom <4437 malkuw > [is] from generation < 1859 dar >
to generation

<1859 dar >:

35 And all <3606 kol > the inhabitants <1753 duwr > of the
earth <0772 >ara<

> [are] reputed <2804 chashab > as nothing <3809 la> >: and he
doeth <5648

<abad > according to his will <6634 ts@ba> > in the army <2429
chayil > of

heaven <8065 shamayin >, and [among] the inhabitants < 1753 duwr

earth <0772 >ara< >: and none <3809 la> > can stay <4223 m@cha>
> his hand

<3028 yad >, or say <0560 >amar > unto him, What <4101 mah >
doest <5648

<abad > thou?

36 At the same time <2166 z@man > my reason <4486 manda< >
returned <7725

shuwb > unto me; and for the glory <3367 y@qar > of my kingdom
<4437 malkuw

returned <7725 shuwb

<7261 rabr@ban >

sought <1158 ba<ah > unto me; and I was established < 8627 t@qan
> in my

kingdom <4437 malkuw >, and excellent <3493 yattiyr > majesty
<7238 r@buw >

was added <3255 y@caph > unto me.

37 Now <3705 k@<an > I Nebuchadnezzar <5020 N@buwkadnetstsar >
praise <7624

sh@bach > and extol <7313 ruwm > and honour <1922 hadar > the
King <4430

melek > of heaven <8065 shamayin >, all <3606 kol > whose works
<4567 ma<bad

judgment <1780

diyn >: and those <1768 diy > that walk <1980 halak > in pride
<1466 gevah >

he is able <3202 y@kel > to abase <8214 sh@phal >.
