Daniel 1





1. In the third <07969> year <08141> of the reign <04438> of
Jehoiakim <03079> king <04428> of Judah <03063> came <0935>
Nebuchadnezzar <05019> king <04428> of Babylon < 0894> unto
Jerusalem <03389>, and besieged <06696> it.



2 And the Lord <0136> gave <05414> Jehoiakim < 03079> king
<04428> of Judah <03063> into his hand <03027>, with part
<07117> of the vessels <03627> of the house < 01004> of God
<0430>: which he carried <0935> into the land < 0776> of Shinar
<08152> to the house <01004> of his god <0430>; and he brought
<0935> the vessels <03627> into the treasure < 0214> house
<01004> of his god <0430>.



3 And the king <04428> spake <0559> unto Ashpenaz <0828> the
master <07227> of his eunuchs <05631>, that he should bring
<0935> [certain] of the children <01121> of Israel <03478>, and
of the king's <04410> seed <02233>, and of the princes <06579>;



4 Children <03206> in whom [was] no <0369> blemish <03971>,
but well <02896> favoured <04758>, and skilful < 07919> in all
<03605> wisdom <02451>, and cunning <03045> in knowledge <01847>,
and understanding <0995> science <04093>, and such as [had]
ability <03581> in them to stand <05975> in the king's <04428>
palace <01964>, and whom they might teach <03925> the learning
<05612> and the tongue <03956> of the Chaldeans < 03779>.



5 And the king <04428> appointed <04487> them a daily <03117>
provision <01697> of the king's <04428> meat < 06598>, and of the
wine <03196> which he drank <04960>: so nourishing <01431> them
three <07969> years <08141>, that at the end < 07117> thereof
they might stand <05975> before <06440> the king < 04428>.



6 Now among these <01992> were of the children < 01121> of
Judah <03063>, Daniel <01840>, Hananiah <02608>, Mishael <04332>,
and Azariah <05838>:



7 Unto whom <01992> the prince <08269> of the eunuchs <05631>
gave <07760> names <08034>: for he gave <07760> unto Daniel
<01840> [the name <08034>] of Belteshazzar < 01095>; and to
Hananiah <02608>, of Shadrach <07714>; and to Mishael <04332>,
of Meshach <04335>; and to Azariah <05838>, of Abednego <05664>.



8. But Daniel <01840> purposed <07760> in his heart <03820>
that he would not defile <01351> himself with the portion
<06598> of the king's <04428> meat <06598>, nor with the wine
<03196> which he drank <04960>: therefore he requested <01245>
of the prince <08269> of the eunuchs <05631> that he might not
defile <01351> himself.



9 Now God <0430> had brought <05414> Daniel < 01840> into
favour <02617> and tender love with the prince <08269> of the
eunuchs <05631>.



10 And the prince <08269> of the eunuchs <05631> said <0559>
unto Daniel <01840>, I fear <03373> my lord < 0113> the king
<04428>, who <0834> hath appointed <04487> your meat <03978> and
your drink <04960>: for why <04100> should he see < 07200> your
faces <06440> worse <02196> liking than <04480> the children
<03206> which <0834> [are] of your sort <01524> ? then shall ye
make [me] endanger <02325> my head <07218> to the king <04428>.



11 Then said <0559> Daniel <01840> to Melzar < 04453>, whom
<0834> the prince <08269> of the eunuchs <05631> had set <04487>
over <05921> Daniel <01840>, Hananiah <02608>, Mishael <04332>,
and Azariah <05838>,



12 Prove <05254> thy servants <05650>, I beseech <04994> thee,
ten <06235> days <03117>; and let them give < 05414> us pulse
<02235> to eat <0398>, and water <04325> to drink <08354>.



13 Then let our countenances <04758> be looked < 07200> upon
before <06440> thee, and the countenance <04758> of the children
<03206> that eat <0398> of the portion <06598> of the king's
<04428> meat <06598>: and as thou seest <07200>, deal <06213>
with thy servants <05650>.



14 So he consented <08085> to them in this <02088> matter
<01697>, and proved <05254> them ten <06235> days <03117>.



15 And at the end <07117> of ten <06235> days < 03117> their
countenances <04758> appeared <07200> fairer < 02896> and fatter
<01277> in flesh <01320> than <04480> all < 03605> the children
<03206> which did eat <0398> the portion <06598> of the king's
<04428> meat <06598>.



16 Thus Melzar <04453> took <05375> away the portion <06598>
of their meat <06598>, and the wine <03196> that they should
drink <04960>; and gave <05414> them pulse < 02235>.



17. As for these <0428> four <0702> children < 03206>, God
<0430> gave <05414> them knowledge <04093> and skill <07919> in
all <03605> learning <05612> and wisdom <02451>: and Daniel
<01840> had understanding <0995> in all <03605> visions <02377>
and dreams <02472>.



18 Now at the end <07117> of the days <03117> that the king
<04428> had said <0559> he should bring <0935> them in, then the
prince <08269> of the eunuchs <05631> brought < 0935> them in
before <06440> Nebuchadnezzar <05019>.



19 And the king <04428> communed <01696> with them; and among
them all <03605> was found <04672> none <03808> like Daniel
<01840>, Hananiah <02608>, Mishael <04332>, and Azariah <05838>:
therefore stood <05975> they before <06440> the king <04428>.



20 And in all <03605> matters <01697> of wisdom < 02451> [and]
understanding <0998>, that the king <04428> enquired <01245> of
them, he found <04672> them ten <06235> times better <03027>
than <05921> all <03605> the magicians <02748> [and] astrologers
<0825> that [were] in all <03605> his realm < 04438>.



21 And Daniel <01840> continued <01961> [even] unto the first
<0259> year <08141> of king <04428> Cyrus < 03566>.



Daniel 2



1. And in the second <08147> year <08141> of the reign <04438>
of Nebuchadnezzar <05019> Nebuchadnezzar <05019> dreamed <02492>
dreams <02472>, wherewith his spirit <07307> was troubled
<06470>, and his sleep <08142> brake <01961> from him.



2 Then the king <04428> commanded <0559> to call <07121> the
magicians <02748>, and the astrologers <0825>, and the sorcerers
<03784>, and the Chaldeans <03779>, for to shew < 05046> the king
<04428> his dreams <02472>. So they came <0935> and stood
<05975> before <06440> the king <04428>.



3 And the king <04428> said <0559> unto them, I have dreamed
<02492> a dream <02472>, and my spirit <07307> was troubled
<06470> to know <03045> the dream <02472>.



4 Then spake <01696> the Chaldeans <03779> to the king <04428>
in Syriack <0762>, O king <04430>, live <02418> for ever <05957>:
tell <0560> thy servants <05649> the dream < 02493>, and we will
shew <02324> the interpretation <06591>.



5 The king <04430> answered <06032> and said < 0560> to the
Chaldeans <03779>, The thing <04406> is gone < 0230> from me: if
<02006> ye will not make known <03046> unto me the dream <02493>,
with the interpretation <06591> thereof, ye shall be cut
<05648> in pieces <01917>, and your houses < 01005> shall be made
<07761> a dunghill <05122>.



6 But if <02006> ye shew <02324> the dream < 02493>, and the
interpretation <06591> thereof, ye shall receive < 06902> of me
gifts <04978> and rewards <05023> and great < 07690> honour
<03367>: therefore <02006> shew <02324> me the dream <02493>,
and the interpretation <06591> thereof.



7 They answered <06032> again <08579> and said < 0560>, Let the
king <04430> tell <0560> his servants <05649> the dream <02493>,
and we will shew <02324> the interpretation <06591> of it.



8 The king <04430> answered <06032> and said < 0560>, I know
<03046> of certainty <03330> that ye would gain < 02084> the time
<05732>, because ye see <02370> the thing < 04406> is gone <0230>
from me.



9 But if <02006> ye will not make known <03046> unto me the
dream <02493>, [there is but] one <02298> decree < 01882> for you:
for ye have prepared <02164> lying <03538> and corrupt <07844>
words <04406> to speak <0560> before <06925> me, till <05704>
the time <05732> be changed <08133>: therefore < 02006> tell
<0560> me the dream <02493>, and I shall know < 03046> that ye
can shew <02324> me the interpretation <06591> thereof.



10 The Chaldeans <03779> answered <06032> before <06925> the
king <04430>, and said <0560>, There is not a man < 0606> upon
the earth <03007> that can <03202> shew <02324> the king's
<04430> matter <04406>: therefore [there is] no king <04430>,
lord <07229>, nor ruler <07990>, [that] asked < 07593> such
<01836> things at any <03606> magician <02749>, or astrologer
<0826>, or Chaldean <03777>.



11 And [it is] a rare <03358> thing <04406> that the king
<04430> requireth <07593>, and there is none < 03809> other
<0321> that can shew <02324> it before <06925> the king <04430>,
except <03861> the gods <0426>, whose <01768> dwelling <04070>
is not with flesh <01321>.



12 For this <01836> cause the king <04430> was angry <01149>
and very <07690> furious <07108>, and commanded < 0560> to
destroy <07> all <03606> the wise <02445> [men] of Babylon
<0895>.



13 And the decree <01882> went <05312> forth < 05312> that the
wise <02445> [men] should be slain <06992>; and they sought
<01158> Daniel <01841> and his fellows <02269> to be slain
<06992>.



14. Then <0116> Daniel <01841> answered <08421> with counsel
<05843> and wisdom <02942> to Arioch <0746> the captain <07229>
of the king's <04430> guard <02877>, which < 01768> was gone
<05312> forth <05312> to slay <06992> the wise <02445> [men] of
Babylon <0895>:



15 He answered <06032> and said <0560> to Arioch <0746> the
king's <04430> captain <07990>, Why [is] the decree <01882> [so]
hasty <02685> from the king <04430>? Then <0116> Arioch <0746>
made the thing <04406> known <03046> to Daniel < 01841>.



16 Then Daniel <01841> went <05954> in, and desired <01156> of
the king <04430> that he would give <05415> him time <02166>,
and that he would shew <02324> the king <04430> the
interpretation <06591>.



17 Then <0116> Daniel <01841> went <0236> to his house <01005>,
and made the thing <04406> known <03046> to Hananiah <02608>,
Mishael <04332>, and Azariah <05839>, his companions <02269>:



18 That they would desire <01156> mercies <07359> of the God
<0426> of heaven <08065> concerning <05922> this <01836> secret
<07328>; that Daniel <01841> and his fellows < 02269> should not
perish <07> with the rest <07606> of the wise < 02445> [men] of
Babylon <0895>.



19 Then <0116> was the secret <07328> revealed < 01541> unto
Daniel <01841> in a night <03916> vision <02376> . Then <0116>
Daniel <01841> blessed <01289> the God <0426> of heaven <08065>.



20 Daniel <01841> answered <06032> and said < 0560>, Blessed
<01289> be the name <08036> of God <0426> for ever <05957> and
ever <05957>: for wisdom <02452> and might < 01370> are his:



21 And he changeth <08133> the times <05732> and the seasons
<02166>: he removeth <05709> kings <04430>, and setteth <06966>
up kings <04430>: he giveth <03052> wisdom < 02452> unto the wise
<02445>, and knowledge <0998> to them that know < 03046>
understanding <0999>:



22 He revealeth <01541> the deep <05994> and secret <05642>
things: he knoweth <03046> what <04101> [is] in the darkness
<02816>, and the light <05094> dwelleth <08271> with him.



23 I thank <03029> thee, and praise <07624> thee, O thou God
<0426> of my fathers <02>, who <01768> hast given <03052> me
wisdom <02452> and might <01370>, and hast made known <03046>
unto me now <03705> what <01768> we desired < 01156> of thee: for
thou hast [now <03705>] made known <03046> unto us the king's
<04430> matter <04406>.



24. Therefore Daniel <01841> went <05954> in unto Arioch <0746>,
whom <01768> the king <04430> had ordained < 04483> to destroy
<07> the wise <02445> [men] of Babylon <0895>: he went <0236>
and said <0560> thus <03652> unto him; Destroy < 07> not the wise
<02445> [men] of Babylon <0895>: bring <05924> me in before
<06925> the king <04430>, and I will shew < 02324> unto the king
<04430> the interpretation <06591>.



25 Then <0116> Arioch <0746> brought <05954> in Daniel <01841>
before <06925> the king <04430> in haste <0927>, and said <0560>
thus <03652> unto him, I have found <04672> a man < 01400> of the
captives of Judah <03061>, that will make known < 03046> unto the
king <04430> the interpretation <06591>.



26 The king <04430> answered <06032> and said < 0560> to Daniel
<01841>, whose <01768> name <08036> [was] Belteshazzar <01096>,
Art <0383> thou able <03546> to make known < 03046> unto me the
dream <02493> which <01768> I have seen <02370>, and the
interpretation <06591> thereof?



27 Daniel <01841> answered <06032> in the presence <06925> of
the king <04430>, and said <0560>, The secret < 07328> which
<01768> the king <04430> hath demanded <07593> cannot the wise
<02445> [men], the astrologers <0826>, the magicians <02749>,
the soothsayers <01505>, shew <02324> unto the king <04430>;



28 But there is a God <0426> in heaven <08065> that revealeth
<01541> secrets <07328>, and maketh known < 03046> to the king
<04430> Nebuchadnezzar <05020> what <04101> shall be in the
latter <0320> days <03118>. Thy dream <02493>, and the visions
<02376> of thy head <07217> upon thy bed <04903> , are these
<01836>;



29 As for thee, O king <04430>, thy thoughts <07476> came
<05559> [into thy mind] upon thy bed <04903>, what <04101>
should come <01934> to pass hereafter: and he that revealeth
<01541> secrets <07328> maketh known <03046> to thee what
<04101> shall come <01934> to pass.



30 But as for me, this <01836> secret <07328> is not revealed
<01541> to me for [any] wisdom <02452> that I have <0383> more
<04481> than <04481> any <03606> living < 02417>, but for [their]
sakes <01701> that shall make known <03046> the interpretation
<06591> to the king <04430>, and that thou mightest know <03046>
the thoughts <07476> of thy heart <03825>.



31. Thou, O king <04430>, sawest <02370>, and behold <0431> a
great <07690> image <06755>. This <01797> great <07229> image
<06755>, whose brightness <02122> [was] excellent < 03493>, stood
<06966> before <06903> thee; and the form < 07299> thereof [was]
terrible <01763>.



32 This <01931> image's <06755> head <07217> [was] of fine
<02869> gold <01722>, his breast <02306> and his arms <01672> of
silver <03702>, his belly <04577> and his thighs < 03410> of
brass <05174>,



33 His legs <08243> of iron <06523>, his feet < 07271> part
<04481> of iron <06523> and part <04481> of clay <02635>.



34 Thou sawest <02370> till <05704> that a stone <069> was cut
<01505> out without hands <03028>, which smote < 04223> the image
<06755> upon his feet <07271> [that were] of iron < 06523> and
clay <02635>, and brake <01855> them to pieces.



35 Then <0116> was the iron <06523>, the clay < 02635>, the
brass <05174>, the silver <03702>, and the gold < 01722>, broken
<01854> to pieces together <02298>, and became < 01934> like the
chaff <05784> of the summer <07007> threshingfloors <0147>; and
the wind <07308> carried <05376> them away, that no place <0870>
was found <07912> for them: and the stone <069> that smote
<04223> the image <06755> became <01934> a great <07229>
mountain <02906>, and filled <04391> the whole < 03606> earth
<0772>.



36 This <01836> [is] the dream <02493>; and we will tell
<0560> the interpretation <06591> thereof before < 06925> the
king <04430>.



37 Thou, O king <04430>, [art] a king <04430> of kings <04430>:
for the God <0426> of heaven <08065> hath given < 03052> thee a
kingdom <04437>, power <02632>, and strength < 08632>, and glory
<03367>.



38 And wheresoever the children <01123> of men < 0606> dwell
<01753>, the beasts <02423> of the field <01251> and the fowls
<05776> of the heaven <08065> hath he given < 03052> into thine
hand <03028>, and hath made thee ruler <07981> over them all
<03606>. Thou [art] this <01931> head <07217> of gold <01722>.



39 And after <0870> thee shall arise <06965> another <0317>
kingdom <04437> inferior <0772> to thee, and another <0317>
third <08523> kingdom <04437> of brass <05174>, which <01768>
shall bear <07981> rule <07981> over all <03606> the earth
<0772>.



40 And the fourth <07244> kingdom <04437> shall be strong
<08624> as iron <06523>: forasmuch as iron < 06523> breaketh
<01855> in pieces and subdueth <02827> all < 03606> [things]: and
as iron <06523> that breaketh <07940> all < 03606> these <0459>,
shall it break <01854> in pieces and bruise <07490>.



41 And whereas <01768> thou sawest <02370> the feet <07271>
and toes <0677>, part <04481> of potters <06353> ' clay <02635>,
and part <04481> of iron <06523>, the kingdom < 04437> shall be
divided <06386>; but there shall be in it of the strength
<05326> of the iron <06523>, forasmuch as thou sawest <02370>
the iron <06523> mixed <06151> with miry <02917> clay <02635>.



42 And [as] the toes <0677> of the feet <07271> [were] part
<04481> of iron <06523>, and part <04481> of clay <02635>, [so]
the kingdom <04437> shall be partly <07118> strong <08624>, and
partly <07118> broken <08406>.



43 And whereas <01768> thou sawest <02370> iron < 06523> mixed
<06151> with miry <02917> clay <02635>, they shall mingle
<06151> themselves with the seed <02234> of men < 0606>: but they
shall not cleave <01693> one <01836> to another < 01836>, even
<01887> as iron <06523> is not mixed <06151> with clay <02635>.



44 And in the days <03118> of these <0581> kings <04430> shall
the God <0426> of heaven <08065> set <06966> up a kingdom
<04437>, which <01768> shall never be destroyed < 02255>: and the
kingdom <04437> shall not be left <07662> to other <0321> people
<05972>, [but] it shall break <01854> in pieces and consume
<05487> all <03606> these <0459> kingdoms < 04437>, and it shall
stand <06966> for ever <05957>.



45 Forasmuch as thou sawest <02370> that the stone < 069> was
cut <01505> out of the mountain <02906> without hands <03028>,
and that it brake <01855> in pieces the iron <06523>, the brass
<05174>, the clay <02635>, the silver <03702>, and the gold
<01722>; the great <07229> God <0426> hath made known <03046> to
the king <04430> what <04101> shall come <01934> to pass
hereafter: and the dream <02493> [is] certain <03330>, and the
interpretation <06591> thereof sure <0546>.



46. Then <0116> the king <04430> Nebuchadnezzar < 05020> fell
<05308> upon his face <0600>, and worshipped < 05457> Daniel
<01841>, and commanded <0560> that they should offer <05260> an
oblation <08641> and sweet <05208> odours < 05208> unto him.



47 The king <04430> answered <06032> unto Daniel <01841>, and
said <0560>, Of a truth <07187> [it is], that your God <0426>
[is] a God <0426> of gods <0426>, and a Lord < 04756> of kings
<04430>, and a revealer <01541> of secrets < 07328>, seeing
<01768> thou couldest <03202> reveal <01541> this <01836> secret
<07328>.



48 Then <0116> the king <04430> made <07236> Daniel <01841> a
great <07236> man, and gave <03052> him many < 07690> great
<07260> gifts <04978>, and made him ruler < 07981> over <05922>
the whole <03606> province <04083> of Babylon < 0895>, and chief
<07229> of the governors <05461> over <05922> all <03606> the
wise <02445> [men] of Babylon <0895>.



49 Then Daniel <01841> requested <01156> of the king <04430>,
and he set <04483> Shadrach <07715>, Meshach < 04336>, and
Abednego <05665>, over <05922> the affairs < 05673> of the
province <04083> of Babylon <0895>: but Daniel < 01841> [sat] in
the gate <08651> of the king <04430>.



Daniel 3



1. Nebuchadnezzar <05020> the king <04430> made < 05648> an
image <06755> of gold <01722>, whose <01768> height <07314>
[was] threescore <08361> cubits <0521>, [and] the breadth
<06613> thereof six <08353> cubits <0521>: he set <06966> it up
in the plain <01236> of Dura <01757>, in the province <04083> of
Babylon <0895>.



2 Then Nebuchadnezzar <05020> the king <04430> sent <07972> to
gather <03673> together the princes <0324>, the governors
<05461>, and the captains <06347>, the judges < 0148>, the
treasurers <01411>, the counsellors <01884>, the sheriffs
<08614>, and all <03606> the rulers <07984> of the provinces
<04082>, to come <0858> to the dedication < 02597> of the image
<06755> which <01768> Nebuchadnezzar <05020> the king <04430>
had set <06966> up.



3 Then <0116> the princes <0324>, the governors < 05461>, and
captains <06347>, the judges <0148>, the treasurers <01411>, the
counsellors <01884>, the sheriffs <08614>, and all <03606> the
rulers <07984> of the provinces <04082>, were gathered <03673>
together unto the dedication <02597> of the image < 06755> that
Nebuchadnezzar <05020> the king <04430> had set < 06966> up; and
they stood <06966> before <06903> the image < 06755> that
Nebuchadnezzar <05020> had set <06966> up.



4 Then an herald <03744> cried <07123> aloud < 02429>, To you
it is commanded <0560>, O people <05972>, nations < 0524>, and
languages <03961>,



5 [That] at what <01768> time <05732> ye hear < 08086> the
sound <07032> of the cornet <07162>, flute < 04953>, harp <07030>,
sackbut <05443>, psaltery <06460>, dulcimer < 05481>, and all
<03606> kinds <02177> of musick <02170>, ye fall <05308> down
and worship <05457> the golden <01722> image < 06755> that
Nebuchadnezzar <05020> the king <04430> hath set < 06966> up:



6 And whoso falleth <05308> not down and worshippeth < 05457>
shall the same hour <08160> be cast <07412> into the midst
<01459> of a burning <03345> fiery <05135> furnace <0861>.



7 Therefore at that time <02166>, when <01768> all <03606> the
people <05972> heard <08086> the sound <07032> of the cornet
<07162>, flute <04953>, harp <07030>, sackbut <05443>, psaltery
<06460>, and all <03606> kinds <02177> of musick <02170>, all
<03606> the people <05972>, the nations <0524>, and the
languages <03961>, fell <05308> down [and] worshipped <05457>
the golden <01722> image <06755> that Nebuchadnezzar <05020> the
king <04430> had set <06966> up.



8. Wherefore at that time <02166> certain <01400> Chaldeans
<03779> came <07127> near <07127>, and accused <07170> the Jews
<03064>.



9 They spake <06032> and said <0560> to the king <04430>
Nebuchadnezzar <05020>, O king <04430>, live < 02418> for ever
<05957>.



10 Thou, O king <04430>, hast made <07761> a decree <02942>,
that every <03606> man <0606> that shall hear < 08086> the sound
<07032> of the cornet <07162>, flute <04953>, harp <07030>,
sackbut <05443>, psaltery <06460>, and dulcimer < 05481>, and all
<03606> kinds <02177> of musick <02170>, shall fall <05308> down
and worship <05457> the golden <01722> image < 06755>:



11 And whoso falleth <05308> not down and worshippeth < 05457>,
[that] he should be cast <07412> into the midst < 01459> of a
burning <03345> fiery <05135> furnace <0861>.



12 There are certain <01400> Jews <03064> whom < 03487> thou
hast set <04483> over <05921> the affairs < 05673> of the
province <04083> of Babylon <0895>, Shadrach < 07715>, Meshach
<04336>, and Abednego <05665>; these <0479> men <01400>, O king
<04430>, have not regarded thee: they serve <06399> not thy gods
<0426>, nor <03809> worship <05457> the golden <01722> image
<06755> which <01768> thou hast set <06966> up.



13 Then <0116> Nebuchadnezzar <05020> in [his] rage <07266>
and fury <02528> commanded <0560> to bring < 0858> Shadrach
<07715>, Meshach <04336>, and Abednego <05665>. Then <0116> they
brought <0858> these <0479> men <01400> before <06925> the king
<04430>.



14 Nebuchadnezzar <05020> spake <06032> and said <0560> unto
them, [Is it] true <06656>, O Shadrach <07715>, Meshach <04336>,
and Abednego <05665>, do not ye serve <06399> my gods <0426>,
nor <03809> worship <05457> the golden <01722> image <06755>
which <01768> I have set <06966> up?



15 Now <03705> if <02006> ye be ready <06263> that at what
<01768> time <05732> ye hear <08086> the sound <07032> of the
cornet <07162>, flute <04953>, harp <07030>, sackbut <05443>,
psaltery <06460>, and dulcimer <05481>, and all < 03606> kinds
<02177> of musick <02170>, ye fall <05308> down and worship
<05457> the image <06755> which <01768> I have made <05648>;
[well]: but if <02006> ye worship <05457> not, ye shall be cast
<07412> the same hour <08160> into the midst < 01459> of a
burning <03345> fiery <05135> furnace <0861>; and who <04479>
[is] that God <0426> that shall deliver <07804> you out of my
hands <03028>?



16 Shadrach <07715>, Meshach <04336>, and Abednego <05665>,
answered <06032> and said <0560> to the king < 04430>, O
Nebuchadnezzar <05020>, we [are] not careful <02818> to answer
<08421> thee in this <01836> matter <06600>.



17 If <02006> it be [so], our God <0426> whom < 01768> we serve
<06399> is able <03202> to deliver <07804> us from the burning
<03345> fiery <05135> furnace <0861>, and he will deliver
<07804> [us] out of thine hand <03028>, O king < 04430>.



18 But if not, be it known <03046> unto thee, O king < 04430>,
that we will not serve <06399> thy gods <0426>, nor <03809>
worship <05457> the golden <01722> image <06755> which <01768>
thou hast set <06966> up.



19. Then <0116> was Nebuchadnezzar <05020> full < 04391> of fury
<02528>, and the form <06755> of his visage < 0600> was changed
<08133> against <05922> Shadrach <07715>, Meshach <04336>, and
Abednego <05665>: [therefore] he spake <06032>, and commanded
<0560> that they should heat <0228> the furnace < 0861> one
<02298> seven <07655> times more <05922> than <01768> it was
wont <02370> to be heated <0228>.



20 And he commanded <0560> the most <02429> mighty <01401> men
<01400> that [were] in his army <02429> to bind < 03729> Shadrach
<07715>, Meshach <04336>, and Abednego <05665>, [and] to cast
<07412> [them] into the burning <03345> fiery < 05135> furnace
<0861>.



21 Then <0116> these <0479> men <01400> were bound <03729> in
their coats <05622>, their hosen <06361>, and their hats <03737>,
and their [other] garments <03831>, and were cast < 07412> into
the midst <01459> of the burning <03345> fiery < 05135> furnace
<0861>.



22 Therefore because the king's <04430> commandment < 04406>
was urgent <02685>, and the furnace <0861> exceeding <02493> hot
<0228>, the flame <07631> of the fire <05135> slew <06992> those
<0479> men <01400> that took <05267> up Shadrach <07715>,
Meshach <04336>, and Abednego <05665>.



23 And these <0479> three <08532> men <01400>, Shadrach
<07715>, Meshach <04336>, and Abednego <05665>, fell <05308>
down bound <03729> into the midst <01459> of the burning <03345>
fiery <05135> furnace <0861>.



24 Then <0116> Nebuchadnezzar <05020> the king < 04430> was
astonied <08429>, and rose <06965> up in haste < 0927>, [and]
spake <06032>, and said <0560> unto his counsellors <01907>, Did
not we cast <07412> three <08532> men <01400> bound <03729> into
the midst <01459> of the fire <05135>? They answered <06032> and
said <0560> unto the king <04430>, True <03330>, O king <04430>.



25 He answered <06032> and said <0560>, Lo < 01888>, I see
<02370> four <0703> men <01400> loose < 08271>, walking <01981>
in the midst <01459> of the fire <05135>, and they have <0383>
no <03809> hurt <02257>; and the form <07299> of the fourth
<07244> is like <01821> the Son <01247> of God <0426>.



26 Then <0116> Nebuchadnezzar <05020> came < 07127> near
<07127> to the mouth <08651> of the burning < 03345> fiery
<05135> furnace <0861>, [and] spake <06032>, and said <0560>,
Shadrach <07715>, Meshach <04336>, and Abednego < 05665>, ye
servants <05649> of the most <05943> high < 05943> God <0426>,
come <05312> forth <05312>, and come <0858> [hither]. Then
<0116> Shadrach <07715>, Meshach <04336>, and Abednego <05665>,
came <05312> forth <05312> of the midst <01459> of the fire
<05135>.



27 And the princes <0324>, governors <05461>, and captains
<06347>, and the king's <04430> counsellors < 01907>, being
gathered <03673> together, saw <02370> these < 0479> men <01400>,
upon whose <01768> bodies <01655> the fire < 05135> had no
<03809> power <07981>, nor <03809> was an hair <08177> of their
head <07217> singed <02761>, neither <03809> were their coats
<05622> changed <08133>, nor <03809> the smell <07382> of fire
<05135> had passed <05709> on them.



28. [Then] Nebuchadnezzar <05020> spake <06032>, and said
<0560>, Blessed <01289> [be] the God <0426> of Shadrach <07715>,
Meshach <04336>, and Abednego <05665>, who < 01768> hath sent
<07972> his angel <04398>, and delivered <07804> his servants
<05649> that trusted <07365> in him, and have changed <08133>
the king's <04430> word <04406>, and yielded < 03052> their
bodies <01655>, that they might not serve <06399> nor <03809>
worship <05457> any <03606> god <0426>, except <03861> their own
God <0426>.



29 Therefore I make <07761> a decree <02942>, That every
<03606> people <05972>, nation <0524>, and language <03961>,
which <01768> speak <0560> any thing amiss < 07955> against
<05922> the God <0426> of Shadrach <07715>, Meshach <04336>, and
Abednego <05665>, shall be cut <05648> in pieces < 01917>, and
their houses <01005> shall be made <07739> a dunghill <05122>:
because there is no <03809> other <0321> God < 0426> that can
<03202> deliver <05338> after <01863> this < 01836> sort.



30 Then <0116> the king <04430> promoted < 06744> Shadrach
<07715>, Meshach <04336>, and Abednego <05665>, in the province
<04082> of Babylon <0895>.



Daniel 4



1. Nebuchadnezzar <05020> the king <04430>, unto all <03606>
people <05972>, nations <0524>, and languages < 03961>, that
dwell <01753> in all <03606> the earth <0772>; Peace <08001> be
multiplied <07680> unto you.



2 I thought it good <08232> to shew <02324> the signs <0852>
and wonders <08540> that the high <05943> God < 0426> hath
wrought <05648> toward <05974> me.



3 How <04101> great <07260> [are] his signs < 0852>! and how
<04101> mighty <08624> [are] his wonders <08540> ! his kingdom
<04437> [is] an everlasting <05957> kingdom < 04437>, and his
dominion <07985> [is] from generation <01859> to generation
<01859>.



4. I Nebuchadnezzar <05020> was at rest <07954> in mine house
<01005>, and flourishing <07487> in my palace < 01965>:



5 I saw <02370> a dream <02493> which made me afraid <01763>,
and the thoughts <02031> upon my bed <04903> and the visions
<02376> of my head <07217> troubled <0927> me.



6 Therefore made <07761> I a decree <02942> to bring <05924>
in all <03606> the wise <02445> [men] of Babylon < 0895> before
<06925> me, that they might make known <03046> unto me the
interpretation <06591> of the dream <02493>.



7 Then <0116> came <05954> in the magicians < 02749>, the
astrologers <0826>, the Chaldeans <03779>, and the soothsayers
<01505>: and I told <0560> the dream <02493> before <06925> them;
but they did not make known <03046> unto me the interpretation
<06591> thereof.



8 But at <05706> the last <0318> Daniel < 01841> came <05954>
in before me, whose <01768> name <08036> [was] Belteshazzar
<01096>, according to the name <08036> of my god < 0426>, and in
whom <01768> [is] the spirit <07308> of the holy < 06922> gods
<0426>: and before <06925> him I told <0560> the dream <02493>,
[saying],



9 O Belteshazzar <01096>, master <0729> of the magicians
<02749>, because <01768> I know <03046> that the spirit <07308>
of the holy <06922> gods <0426> [is] in thee, and no secret
<07328> troubleth <0598> thee, tell <0560> me the visions
<02376> of my dream <02493> that I have seen < 02370>, and the
interpretation <06591> thereof.



10 Thus [were] the visions <02376> of mine head < 07217> in my
bed <04903>; I saw <02370>, and behold <0431> a tree <0363> in
the midst <01459> of the earth <0772>, and the height <07314>
thereof [was] great <07690>.



11 The tree <0363> grew <07236>, and was strong < 08631>, and
the height <07314> thereof reached <04291> unto heaven <08065>,
and the sight <02379> thereof to the end <05491> of all <03606>
the earth <0772>:



12 The leaves <06074> thereof [were] fair <08509>, and the
fruit <04> thereof much <07690>, and in it [was] meat <04203>
for all <03606>: the beasts <02423> of the field < 01251> had
shadow <02927> under <08460> it, and the fowls < 06853> of the
heaven <08065> dwelt <01753> in the boughs < 06056> thereof, and
all <03606> flesh <01321> was fed <02110> of it.



13 I saw <02370> in the visions <02376> of my head <07217>
upon my bed <04903>, and, behold <0431>, a watcher <05894> and
an holy <06922> one came <05182> down <05182> from heaven
<08065>;



14 He cried <07123> aloud <02429>, and said < 0560> thus
<03652>, Hew <01414> down the tree <0363>, and cut <07113> off
his branches <06056>, shake <05426> off <0575> his leaves
<06074>, and scatter <0921> his fruit <04>: let the beasts
<02423> get <05111> away <05111> from under < 08478> it, and the
fowls <06853> from his branches <06056>:



15 Nevertheless <01297> leave <07662> the stump < 06136> of his
roots <08330> in the earth <0772>, even with a band <0613> of
iron <06523> and brass <05174>, in the tender grass <01883> of
the field <01251>; and let it be wet <06647> with the dew
<02920> of heaven <08065>, and [let] his portion < 02508> [be]
with the beasts <02423> in the grass <06211> of the earth <0772>:



16 Let his heart <03825> be changed <08133> from man's <0606>,
and let a beast's <02423> heart <03825> be given < 03052> unto
him; and let seven <07655> times <05732> pass < 02499> over
<05922> him.



17 This matter <06600> [is] by the decree <01510> of the
watchers <05894>, and the demand <07595> by the word <03983> of
the holy <06922> ones: to the intent <01701> that the living
<02417> may know <03046> that the most <05943> High <05943>
ruleth <07980> in the kingdom <04437> of men < 0606>, and giveth
<05415> it to whomsoever <04479> he will <06634> , and setteth
<06966> up over <05922> it the basest <08215> of men <0606>.



18 This <01836> dream <02493> I king <04430> Nebuchadnezzar
<05020> have seen <02370>. Now thou, O Belteshazzar <01096>,
declare <0560> the interpretation <06591> thereof, forasmuch as
all <03606> the wise <02445> [men] of my kingdom < 04437> are not
able <03202> to make known <03046> unto me the interpretation
<06591>: but thou [art] able <03546>; for the spirit <07308> of
the holy <06922> gods <0426> [is] in thee.



19. Then <0116> Daniel <01841>, whose <01768> name <08036>
[was] Belteshazzar <01096>, was astonied <08075> for one <02298>
hour <08160>, and his thoughts <07476> troubled < 0927> him. The
king <04430> spake <06032>, and said <0560>, Belteshazzar
<01096>, let not the dream <02493>, or the interpretation
<06591> thereof, trouble <0927> thee. Belteshazzar <01096>
answered <06032> and said <0560>, My lord < 04756>, the dream
<02493> [be] to them that hate <08131> thee, and the
interpretation <06591> thereof to thine enemies < 06146>.



20 The tree <0363> that thou sawest <02370>, which <01768>
grew <07236>, and was strong <08631>, whose height <07314>
reached <04291> unto the heaven <08065>, and the sight <02379>
thereof to all <03606> the earth <0772>;



21 Whose leaves <06074> [were] fair <08509>, and the fruit
<04> thereof much <07690>, and in it [was] meat < 04203> for all
<03606>; under <08460> which the beasts <02423> of the field
<01251> dwelt <01753>, and upon whose branches < 06056> the fowls
<06853> of the heaven <08065> had their habitation <07932>:



22 It [is] thou, O king <04430>, that art grown < 07236> and
become <08631> strong <08631>: for thy greatness < 07238> is
grown <07236>, and reacheth <04291> unto heaven < 08065>, and thy
dominion <07985> to the end <05491> of the earth < 0772>.



23 And whereas <01768> the king <04430> saw < 02370> a watcher
<05894> and an holy <06922> one coming <05182> down <05182> from
heaven <08065>, and saying <0560>, Hew <01414> the tree <0363>
down, and destroy <02255> it; yet <01297> leave < 07662> the
stump <06136> of the roots <08330> thereof in the earth <0772>,
even with a band <0613> of iron <06523> and brass < 05174>, in
the tender grass <01883> of the field <01251>; and let it be wet
<06647> with the dew <02920> of heaven <08065>, and [let] his
portion <02508> [be] with the beasts <02423> of the field
<01251>, till <05704> seven <07655> times < 05732> pass <02499>
over <05922> him;



24 This <01836> [is] the interpretation <06591>, O king
<04430>, and this <01931> [is] the decree < 01510> of the most
<05943> High <05943>, which <01768> is come < 04291> upon my lord
<04756> the king <04430>:



25 That they shall drive <02957> thee from men < 0606>, and thy
dwelling <04070> shall be with the beasts <02423> of the field
<01251>, and they shall make thee to eat <02939> grass <06211>
as oxen <08450>, and they shall wet <06647> thee with the dew
<02920> of heaven <08065>, and seven <07655> times <05732> shall
pass <02499> over <05922> thee, till <05704> thou know <03046>
that the most <05943> High ruleth <07980> in the kingdom <04437>
of men <0606>, and giveth <05415> it to whomsoever <04479> he
will <06634>.



26 And whereas <01768> they commanded <0560> to leave <07662>
the stump <06136> of the tree <0363> roots < 08330>; thy kingdom
<04437> shall be sure <07011> unto thee, after < 01767> that thou
shalt have known <03046> that the heavens <08065> do rule
<07990>.



27 Wherefore <03861>, O king <04430>, let my counsel <04431>
be acceptable <08232> unto thee, and break <06562> off thy sins
<02408> by righteousness <06665>, and thine iniquities <05758>
by shewing mercy <02604> to the poor <06033>; if < 02006> it may
be a lengthening <0754> of thy tranquillity <07963>.



28. All <03606> this came <04291> upon the king < 04430>
Nebuchadnezzar <05020>.



29 At the end <07118> of twelve months <03393> he walked
<01981> in the palace <01965> of the kingdom < 04437> of Babylon
<0895>.



30 The king <04430> spake <06032>, and said < 0560>, Is not
this <01668> great <07227> Babylon <0895>, that I have built
<01124> for the house <01005> of the kingdom < 04437> by the
might <08632> of my power <02632>, and for the honour <03367> of
my majesty <01923>?



31 While <05751> the word <04406> [was] in the king's <04430>
mouth <06433>, there fell <05308> a voice < 07032> from heaven
<08065>, [saying], O king <04430> Nebuchadnezzar < 05020>, to
thee it is spoken <0560>; The kingdom <04437> is departed
<05709> from thee.



32 And they shall drive <02957> thee from men <0606> , and thy
dwelling <04070> [shall be] with the beasts <02423> of the field
<01251>: they shall make thee to eat <02939> grass <06211> as
oxen <08450>, and seven <07655> times <05732> shall pass <02499>
over <05922> thee, until <05704> thou know < 03046> that the most
<05943> High <05943> ruleth <07980> in the kingdom <04437> of
men <0606>, and giveth <05415> it to whomsoever < 04479> he will
<06634>.



33 The same hour <08160> was the thing <04406> fulfilled
<05487> upon Nebuchadnezzar <05020>: and he was driven <02957>
from men <0606>, and did eat <0399> grass < 06211> as oxen
<08450>, and his body <01655> was wet <06647> with the dew
<02920> of heaven <08065>, till <05704> his hairs <08177> were
grown <07236> like eagles <05403>' [feathers], and his nails
<02953> like birds <06853>' [claws].



34. And at the end <07118> of the days <03118> I Nebuchadnezzar
<05020> lifted <05191> up mine eyes <05870> unto heaven <08065>,
and mine understanding <04486> returned <07725> unto me, and I
blessed <01289> the most <05943> High <05943>, and I praised
<07624> and honoured <01922> him that liveth < 02416> for ever
<05957>, whose <01768> dominion <07985> [is] an everlasting
<05957> dominion <07985>, and his kingdom < 04437> [is] from
generation <01859> to generation <01859>:



35 And all <03606> the inhabitants <01753> of the earth <0772>
[are] reputed <02804> as nothing <03809>: and he doeth <05648>
according to his will <06634> in the army <02429> of heaven
<08065>, and [among] the inhabitants <01753> of the earth <0772>:
and none <03809> can stay <04223> his hand < 03028>, or say
<0560> unto him, What <04101> doest <05648> thou?



36 At the same time <02166> my reason <04486> returned <07725>
unto me; and for the glory <03367> of my kingdom < 04437>, mine
honour <01923> and brightness <02122> returned < 07725> unto me;
and my counsellors <01907> and my lords <07261> sought <01158>
unto me; and I was established <08627> in my kingdom < 04437>,
and excellent <03493> majesty <07238> was added < 03255> unto me.



37 Now <03705> I Nebuchadnezzar <05020> praise < 07624> and
extol <07313> and honour <01922> the King < 04430> of heaven
<08065>, all <03606> whose works <04567> [are] truth <07187>,
and his ways <0735> judgment <01780>: and those < 01768> that
walk <01980> in pride <01466> he is able <03202> to abase
<08214>.



Daniel 5



1. Belshazzar <01113> the king <04430> made < 05648> a great
<07227> feast <03900> to a thousand <0506> of his lords <07261>,
and drank <08355> wine <02562> before <06903> the thousand
<0506>.



2 Belshazzar <01113>, whiles he tasted <02942> the wine
<02562>, commanded <0560> to bring <0858> the golden <01722> and
silver <03702> vessels <03984> which <01768> his father <02>
Nebuchadnezzar <05020> had taken <05312> out of the temple
<01965> which <01768> [was] in Jerusalem <03390> ; that the king
<04430>, and his princes <07261>, his wives < 07695>, and his
concubines <03904>, might drink <08355> therein.



3 Then <0116> they brought <0858> the golden < 01722> vessels
<03984> that were taken <05312> out of the temple < 01965> of the
house <01005> of God <0426> which <01768> [was] at Jerusalem
<03390>; and the king <04430>, and his princes < 07261>, his
wives <07695>, and his concubines <03904>, drank < 08355> in them.



4 They drank <08355> wine <02562>, and praised < 07624> the
gods <0426> of gold <01722>, and of silver < 03702>, of brass
<05174>, of iron <06523>, of wood <0636>, and of stone <069>.



5 In the same hour <08160> came <05312> forth < 05312> fingers
<0677> of a man's <0606> hand <03028>, and wrote <03790> over
<06903> against <06903> the candlestick <05043> upon the
plaister <01528> of the wall <03797> of the king's <04430>
palace <01965>: and the king <04430> saw <02370> the part
<06447> of the hand <03028> that wrote <03790>.



6 Then <0116> the king's <04430> countenance < 02122> was
changed <08133>, and his thoughts <07476> troubled <0927> him,
so that the joints <07001> of his loins <02788> were loosed
<08271>, and his knees <0755> smote <05368> one <01668> against
another <01668>.



7 The king <04430> cried <07123> aloud <02429> to bring
<05924> in the astrologers <0826>, the Chaldeans < 03779>, and
the soothsayers <01505>. [And] the king <04430> spake <06032>,
and said <0560> to the wise <02445> [men] of Babylon <0895>,
Whosoever <03605> shall read <07123> this < 01836> writing
<03792>, and shew <02324> me the interpretation < 06591> thereof,
shall be clothed <03848> with scarlet <0711>, and [have] a chain
<02002> of gold <01722> about <05922> his neck <06676>, and
shall be the third <08523> ruler <07981> in the kingdom <04437>.



8 Then <0116> came <05954> in all <03606> the king's <04430>
wise <02445> [men]: but they could <03546> not read <07123> the
writing <03792>, nor make known <03046> to the king <04430> the
interpretation <06591> thereof.



9 Then <0116> was king <04430> Belshazzar < 01113> greatly
<07690> troubled <0927>, and his countenance < 02122> was changed
<08133> in him, and his lords <07261> were astonied <02672>.



10. [Now] the queen <04433>, by reason <06903> of the words
<04406> of the king <04430> and his lords < 07261>, came <05954>
into the banquet <04961> house <01005>: [and] the queen <04433>
spake <06032> and said <0560>, O king <04430>, live <02414> for
ever <05957>: let not thy thoughts <07476> trouble <0927> thee,
nor <0408> let thy countenance <02122> be changed < 08133>:



11 There is a man <01400> in thy kingdom <04437>, in whom
<01768> [is] the spirit <07308> of the holy < 06922> gods <0426>;
and in the days <03118> of thy father <02> light < 05094> and
understanding <07924> and wisdom <02452>, like the wisdom
<02452> of the gods <0426>, was found <07912> in him; whom the
king <04430> Nebuchadnezzar <05020> thy father < 02>, the king
<04430>, [I say], thy father <02>, made master < 0729> of the
magicians <02749>, astrologers <0826>, Chaldeans < 03779>, [and]
soothsayers <01505>;



12 Forasmuch as an excellent <03493> spirit <07308>, and
knowledge <0998>, and understanding <07924>, interpreting
<06591> of dreams <02493>, and shewing <0263> of hard <0280>
sentences <0280>, and dissolving <08271> of doubts <07001>, were
found <07912> in the same Daniel <01841>, whom < 01768> the king
<04430> named <08036> Belteshazzar <01096>: now <03705> let
Daniel <01841> be called <07123>, and he will shew <05046> the
interpretation <06591>.



13 Then <0116> was Daniel <01841> brought < 05954> in before
<06925> the king <04430>. [And] the king <04430> spake <06032>
and said <0560> unto Daniel <01841>, [Art] thou that Daniel
<01841>, which <01768> [art] of the children < 01123> of the
captivity <01547> of Judah <03061>, whom <01768> the king
<04430> my father <02> brought <0858> out of Jewry <03061>?



14 I have even heard <08086> of thee, that the spirit < 07308>
of the gods <0426> [is] in thee, and [that] light < 05094> and
understanding <07924> and excellent <03493> wisdom <02452> is
found <07912> in thee.



15 And now <03705> the wise <02445> [men], the astrologers
<0826>, have been brought <05954> in before < 06925> me, that
they should read <07123> this <01836> writing < 03792>, and make
known <03046> unto me the interpretation <06591> thereof: but
they could <05346> not shew <02324> the interpretation <06591>
of the thing <04406>:



16 And I have heard <08086> of thee, that thou canst < 03202>
make interpretations <06591>, and dissolve <08271> doubts
<07001>: now <03705> if <02006> thou canst < 03202> read <07123>
the writing <03792>, and make known <03046> to me the
interpretation <06591> thereof, thou shalt be clothed < 03848>
with scarlet <0711>, and [have] a chain <02002> of gold <01722>
about <05922> thy neck <06676>, and shalt be the third <08531>
ruler <07981> in the kingdom <04437>.



17 Then <0116> Daniel <01841> answered <06032> and said <0560>
before <06925> the king <04430>, Let thy gifts < 04978> be to
thyself, and give <03052> thy rewards <05023> to another <0321>;
yet <01297> I will read <07123> the writing < 03792> unto the
king <04430>, and make known <03046> to him the interpretation
<06591>.



18 O thou king <04430>, the most <05943> high < 05943> God
<0426> gave <03052> Nebuchadnezzar <05020> thy father <02> a
kingdom <04437>, and majesty <07238>, and glory < 03367>, and
honour <01923>:



19 And for the majesty <07238> that he gave <03052> him, all
<03606> people <05972>, nations <0524>, and languages <03961>,
trembled <02112> and feared <01763> before him: whom <01768> he
would <06634> he slew <06992>; and whom <01768> he would <06634>
he kept alive <02418>; and whom <01768> he would < 06634> he set
<07313> up; and whom he would <06634> he put < 08214> down
<08214>.



20 But when <01768> his heart <03825> was lifted <07313> up,
and his mind <07307> hardened <08631> in pride < 02103>, he was
deposed <05182> from his kingly <04437> throne < 03764>, and they
took <05709> his glory <03367> from him:



21 And he was driven <02957> from the sons <01123> of men
<0606>; and his heart <03825> was made <07737> like <05974> the
beasts <02423>, and his dwelling <04070> [was] with the wild
<06167> asses <06167>: they fed <02939> him with grass <06211>
like oxen <08450>, and his body <01655> was wet < 06647> with the
dew <02920> of heaven <08065>; till <05704> he knew <03046> that
the most <05943> high <05943> God <0426> ruled <07990> in the
kingdom <04437> of men <0606>, and [that] he appointeth <06966>
over <05922> it whomsoever he will <06634>.



22 And thou his son <01247>, O Belshazzar <01113>, hast not
humbled <08214> thine heart <03825>, though thou knewest <03046>
all <03606> this <01836>;



23 But hast lifted <07313> up thyself against < 05922> the Lord
<04756> of heaven <08065>; and they have brought < 0858> the
vessels <03984> of his house <01005> before < 06925> thee, and
thou, and thy lords <07261>, thy wives <07695>, and thy
concubines <03904>, have drunk <08355> wine < 02562> in them; and
thou hast praised <07624> the gods <0426> of silver <03702>, and
gold <01722>, of brass <05174>, iron <06523>, wood <0636>, and
stone <069>, which <01768> see <02370> not, nor <03809> hear
<08086>, nor <03809> know <03046>: and the God <0426> in whose
<01768> hand <03028> thy breath <05396> [is], and whose [are]
all <03606> thy ways <0735>, hast thou not glorified <01922>:



24 Then <0116> was the part <06447> of the hand < 03028> sent
<07972> from him; and this <01836> writing < 03792> was written
<07560>.



25 And this <01836> [is] the writing <03792> that was written
<07560>, MENE <04484>, MENE <04484>, TEKEL < 08625>, UPHARSIN
<06537>.



26 This <01836> [is] the interpretation <06591> of the thing
<04406>: MENE <04484>; God <0426> hath numbered <04483> thy
kingdom <04437>, and finished <08000> it.



27 TEKEL <08625>; Thou art weighed <08625> in the balances
<03976>, and art found <07912> wanting <02627>.



28 PERES <06537>; Thy kingdom <04437> is divided <06537>, and
given <03052> to the Medes <04076> and Persians < 06540>.



29 Then <0116> commanded <0560> Belshazzar < 01113>, and they
clothed <03848> Daniel <01841> with scarlet < 0711>, and [put] a
chain <02002> of gold <01722> about <05922> his neck <06676>,
and made a proclamation <03745> concerning <05922> him, that he
should be the third <08531> ruler <07990> in the kingdom <04437>.



30. In that night <03916> was Belshazzar <01113> the king
<04430> of the Chaldeans <03779> slain <06992>.



31 And Darius <01868> the Median <04077> took < 06902> the
kingdom <04437>, [being] about threescore <08361> and two
<08648> years <08140> old <01247>.



Daniel 6



1. It pleased <08232> Darius <01868> to set < 03966> over
<05922> the kingdom <04437> an hundred <03969> and twenty
<06243> princes <0324>, which <01768> should be over the whole
<03606> kingdom <04437>;



2 And over <05924> these <04481> three <08532> presidents
<05632>; of whom Daniel <01841> [was] first < 02298>: that the
princes <0324> might give <03052> accounts < 02941> unto them,
and the king <04430> should have <01934> no < 03809> damage
<05142>.



3 Then <0116> this <01836> Daniel <01841> was preferred
<05330> above <05922> the presidents <05632> and princes <0324>,
because an excellent <03493> spirit <07308> [was] in him; and
the king <04430> thought <06246> to set <03966> him over <05922>
the whole <03606> realm <04437>.



4 Then <0116> the presidents <05632> and princes <0324> sought
<01158> to find <07912> occasion <05931> against Daniel <01841>
concerning <06655> the kingdom <04437>; but they could <03202>
find <07912> none <03809> occasion <05931> nor <03809> fault
<07844>; forasmuch as he [was] faithful <0540>, neither <03809>
was there any <03606> error <07960> or fault < 07844> found
<07912> in him.



5 Then <0116> said <0560> these <0479> men <01400>, We shall
not find <07912> any <03606> occasion <05931> against <05922>
this <01836> Daniel <01841>, except <03861> we find <07912> [it]
against him concerning the law <01882> of his God < 0426>.



6. Then <0116> these <0459> presidents <05632> and princes
<0324> assembled <07284> together to the king < 04430>, and said
<0560> thus <03652> unto him, King <04430> Darius <01868>, live
<02414> for ever <05757>.



7 All <03606> the presidents <05632> of the kingdom <04437>,
the governors <05461>, and the princes <0324>, the counsellors
<01907>, and the captains <06347>, have consulted < 03272>
together to establish <06966> a royal <04430> statute <07010>,
and to make a firm <08631> decree <0633>, that whosoever <03605>
shall ask <01156> a petition <01159> of any < 03606> God <0426>
or man <0606> for thirty <08533> days <03118>, save <03861> of
thee, O king <04430>, he shall be cast <07412> into the den
<01358> of lions <0744>.



8 Now <03705>, O king <04430>, establish < 06966> the decree
<0633>, and sign <07560> the writing <03792>, that it be not
changed <08133>, according to the law <01882> of the Medes
<04076> and Persians <06540>, which <01768> altereth <05709> not.



9 Wherefore king <04430> Darius <01868> signed < 07560> the
writing <03792> and the decree <0633>.



10 Now <01768> when <01768> Daniel <01841> knew <03046> that
the writing <03792> was signed <07560>, he went < 05954> into his
house <01005>; and his windows <03551> being open < 06606> in his
chamber <05952> toward <05049> Jerusalem <03390> , he kneeled
<01289> upon his knees <01291> three <08532> times <02166> a day
<03118>, and prayed <06739>, and gave thanks < 03029> before
<06925> his God <0426>, as he did <05648> aforetime.



11. Then <0116> these <0479> men <01400> assembled <07284>, and
found <07912> Daniel <01841> praying <01156> and making
supplication <02604> before <06925> his God < 0426>.



12 Then <0116> they came <07127> near <07127>, and spake
<0560> before <06925> the king <04430> concerning <05922> the
king's <04430> decree <0633>; Hast thou not signed <07560> a
decree <0633>, that every <03606> man <0606> that shall ask
<01156> [a petition] of any <03606> God <0426> or man <0606>
within <05705> thirty <08533> days <03118>, save <03861> of thee,
O king <04430>, shall be cast <07412> into the den <01358> of
lions <0744>? The king <04430> answered <06032> and said <0560>,
The thing <04406> [is] true <03330>, according to the law
<01882> of the Medes <04076> and Persians < 06540>, which <01768>
altereth <05709> not.



13 Then <0116> answered <06032> they and said < 0560> before
<06925> the king <04430>, That Daniel <01841>, which <01768>
[is] of the children <01123> of the captivity <01547> of Judah
<03061>, regardeth not thee, O king <04430>, nor the decree
<0633> that thou hast signed <07560>, but maketh his petition
<01159> three <08532> times <02166> a day < 03118>.



14 Then <0116> the king <04430>, when <01768> he heard <08086>
[these] words <04406>, was sore <07690> displeased <0888> with
himself, and set <07761> [his] heart <01079> on < 05922> Daniel
<01841> to deliver <07804> him: and he laboured < 07712> till
<05704> the going <04606> down <04606> of the sun <08122> to
deliver <05338> him.



15 Then <0116> these <0479> men <01400> assembled <07284> unto
the king <04430>, and said <0560> unto the king < 04430>, Know
<03046>, O king <04430>, that the law <01882> of the Medes
<04076> and Persians <06540> [is], That no decree < 0633> nor
statute <07010> which <01768> the king <04430> establisheth
<06966> may be changed <08133>.



16 Then <0116> the king <04430> commanded < 0560>, and they
brought <0858> Daniel <01841>, and cast <07412> [him] into the
den <01358> of lions <0744>. [Now <0116>] the king <04430> spake
<06032> and said <0560> unto Daniel <01841>, Thy God <0426> whom
<01768> thou servest <06399> continually <08411> , he will
deliver <07804> thee.



17 And a stone <069> was brought <0858>, and laid <07760> upon
the mouth <06433> of the den <01358>; and the king <04430>
sealed <02857> it with his own signet <05824>, and with the
signet <05824> of his lords <07261>; that the purpose <06640>
might not be changed <08133> concerning Daniel <01841> .



18. Then <0116> the king <04430> went <0236> to his palace
<01965>, and passed the night <0956> fasting < 02908>: neither
<03809> were instruments <01761> of musick brought <05954>
before <06925> him: and his sleep <08139> went < 05075> from him.



19 Then <0116> the king <04430> arose <06966> very early
<08238> in the morning <05053>, and went <0236> in haste <0927>
unto the den <01358> of lions <0744>.



20 And when he came <07127> to the den <01358>, he cried
<02200> with a lamentable <06088> voice <07032> unto Daniel
<01841>: [and] the king <04430> spake <06032> and said <0560> to
Daniel <01841>, O Daniel <01841>, servant < 05649> of the living
<02417> God <0426>, is thy God <0426>, whom < 01768> thou servest
<06399> continually <08411>, able <03202> to deliver <07804>
thee from the lions <0744>?



21 Then <0116> said <04449> Daniel <01841> unto the king
<04430>, O king <04430>, live <02414> for ever <05957>.



22 My God <0426> hath sent <07972> his angel < 04398>, and hath
shut <05463> the lions <0744>' mouths <06433>, that they have
not hurt <02255> me: forasmuch as before <06925> him innocency
<02136> was found <07912> in me; and also <0638> before <06925>
thee, O king <04430>, have I done <05648> no < 03809> hurt
<02248>.



23 Then <0116> was the king <04430> exceeding < 07689> glad
<02868> for him, and commanded <0560> that they should take
<05267> Daniel <01841> up out of the den <01358> . So Daniel
<01841> was taken <05267> up out of the den < 01358>, and no
manner of hurt <02257> was found <07912> upon him, because
<01768> he believed <0540> in his God <0426>.



24 And the king <04430> commanded <0560>, and they brought
<0858> those <0479> men <01400> which < 01768> had accused
<07170> Daniel <01841>, and they cast <07412> [them] into the
den <01358> of lions <0744>, them, their children < 01123>, and
their wives <05389>; and the lions <0744> had the mastery
<06981> of them, and brake <01855> all <03606> their bones
<01635> in pieces or ever <03809> they came < 04291> at the
bottom <0773> of the den <01358>.



25. Then <0116> king <04430> Darius <01868> wrote <03790> unto
all <03606> people <05972>, nations <0524>, and languages
<03961>, that dwell <01753> in all <03606> the earth <0772>;
Peace <08001> be multiplied <07680> unto you.



26 I make <07761> a decree <02942>, That in every <03606>
dominion <07985> of my kingdom <04437> men tremble <02112> and
fear <01763> before the God <0426> of Daniel < 01841>: for he
[is] the living <02417> God <0426>, and stedfast < 07011> for
ever <05957>, and his kingdom <04437> [that] which <01768> shall
not be destroyed <02255>, and his dominion <07985> [shall be
even] unto the end <05491>.



27 He delivereth <07804> and rescueth <05338>, and he worketh
<05648> signs <0852> and wonders <08540> in heaven <08065> and
in earth <0772>, who <01768> hath delivered < 07804> Daniel
<01841> from the power <03028> of the lions < 0744>.



28 So this <01836> Daniel <01841> prospered < 06744> in the
reign <04437> of Darius <01868>, and in the reign < 04437> of
Cyrus <03567> the Persian <06523>.



Daniel 7



1. In the first <02298> year <08140> of Belshazzar <01113> king
<04430> of Babylon <0895> Daniel <01841> had <02370> a dream
<02493> and visions <02376> of his head <07217> upon his bed
<04903>: then <0116> he wrote <03790> the dream <02493>, [and]
told <0560> the sum <07217> of the matters < 04406>.



2 Daniel <01841> spake <06032> and said <0560> , I saw <02370>
in my vision <02376> by night <03916>, and, behold <0718>, the
four <0703> winds <07308> of the heaven <08065> strove <01519>
upon the great <07227> sea <03221>.



3 And four <0703> great <07260> beasts <02423> came <05559> up
from the sea <03221>, diverse <08133> one < 01668> from another
<01668>.



4 The first <06933> [was] like a lion <0738>, and had eagle's
<05403> wings <01611>: I beheld till <05704> the wings <01611>
thereof were plucked <04804>, and it was lifted < 05191> up from
the earth <0772>, and made stand <06966> upon the feet <07271>
as a man <0606>, and a man's <0606> heart < 03825> was given
<03052> to it.



5 And behold <0718> another <0317> beast < 02423>, a second
<08578>, like <01821> to a bear <01678>, and it raised <06966>
up itself on one <02298> side <07859>, and [it had] three
<08532> ribs <06763> in the mouth <06433> of it between <0997>
the teeth <08128> of it: and they said <0560> thus <03652> unto
it, Arise <06965>, devour <0399> much <07690> flesh <01321>.



6 After <0870> this <01836> I beheld, and lo < 0718> another
<0317>, like a leopard <05245>, which <01768> had upon the back
<01355> of it four <0703> wings <01611> of a fowl <05776>; the
beast <02423> had also four <0703> heads <07217> ; and dominion
<07985> was given <03052> to it.



7 After <0870> this <01836> I saw <02370> in the night <03916>
visions <02376>, and behold <0718> a fourth < 07244> beast
<02423>, dreadful <01763> and terrible <0574>, and strong
<08624> exceedingly <03493>; and it had great < 07260> iron
<06523> teeth <08128>: it devoured <0399> and brake <01855> in
pieces, and stamped <07512> the residue <07606> with the feet
<07271> of it: and it [was] diverse <08133> from all <03606> the
beasts <02423> that [were] before <06925> it; and it had ten
<06236> horns <07162>.



8 I considered <07920> the horns <07162>, and, behold <0431>,
there came <05559> up among <0997> them another < 0317> little
<02192> horn <07162>, before <06925> whom there were three
<08532> of the first <06933> horns <07162> plucked <06132> up by
the roots <06132>: and, behold <0431>, in this < 01668> horn
<07162> [were] eyes <05870> like the eyes < 05870> of man <0606>,
and a mouth <06433> speaking <04449> great < 07260> things.



9. I beheld till <05704> the thrones <03764> were cast <07412>
down, and the Ancient <06268> of days <03118> did sit <03488>,
whose garment <03831> [was] white as snow <08517>, and the hair
<08177> of his head <07217> like the pure < 05343> wool <06015>:
his throne <03764> [was like] the fiery <05135> flame <07631>,
[and] his wheels <01535> [as] burning <01815> fire <05135>.



10 A fiery <05135> stream <05103> issued < 05047> and came
<05312> forth <05312> from before <06925> him: thousand <0506>
thousands <0506> ministered <08120> unto him, and ten <07240>
thousand <07240> times ten <07240> thousand < 07240> stood
<06966> before <06925> him: the judgment <01780> was set <03488>,
and the books <05609> were opened <06606>.



11 I beheld then <0116> because <04481> of the voice <07032>
of the great <07260> words <04406> which <01768> the horn
<07162> spake <04449>: I beheld [even <05705>] till <05704> the
beast <02423> was slain <06992>, and his body < 01655> destroyed
<07>, and given <03052> to the burning <03346> flame <0785>.



12 As concerning the rest <07606> of the beasts < 02423>, they
had their dominion <07985> taken <05709> away < 05709>: yet their
lives <02417> were prolonged for a season <02166> and time
<05732>.



13 I saw <02370> in the night <06916> visions < 02376>, and,
behold <0718>, [one] like the Son <01247> of man < 0606> came
with the clouds <06050> of heaven <08065>, and came <04291> to
the Ancient <06268> of days <03118>, and they brought <07127>
him near <07127> before <06925> him.



14 And there was given <03052> him dominion <07985>, and glory
<03367>, and a kingdom <04437>, that all <03606> people <05972>,
nations <0524>, and languages <03961>, should serve <06399> him:
his dominion <07985> [is] an everlasting <05957> dominion
<07985>, which <01768> shall not pass <05709> away <05709>, and
his kingdom <04437> [that] which <01768> shall not be destroyed
<02255>.



15. I Daniel <01841> was grieved <03735> in my spirit <07308>
in the midst <01459> of [my] body <05085>, and the visions
<02376> of my head <07217> troubled <0927> me.



16 I came <07127> near <07127> unto one < 02298> of them that
stood <06966> by, and asked <01156> him the truth < 03330> of all
<03606> this <01836>. So he told <0560> me, and made me know
<03046> the interpretation <06591> of the things < 04406>.



17 These <0459> great <07260> beasts <02423>, which <01768>
are four <0703>, [are] four <0703> kings <04430> , [which] shall
arise <06965> out of the earth <0772>.



18 But the saints <06922> of the most <05946> High <05946>
shall take <06902> the kingdom <04437>, and possess <02631> the
kingdom <04437> for ever <05957>, even <05705> for ever <05957>
and ever <05957>.



19 Then <0116> I would <06634> know <03046> the truth <03321>
of the fourth <07244> beast <02423>, which < 01768> was diverse
<08133> from all <03606> the others, exceeding < 03493> dreadful
<01763>, whose <01768> teeth <08128> [were of] iron <06523>, and
his nails <02953> [of] brass <05174>; [which] devoured <0399>,
brake <01855> in pieces, and stamped <07512> the residue <07606>
with his feet <07271>;



20 And of the ten <06236> horns <07162> that [were] in his
head <07217>, and [of] the other <0317> which < 01768> came
<05559> up, and before whom <04479> three < 08532> fell <05308>;
even [of] that horn <07162> that had eyes <05870>, and a mouth
<06433> that spake <04449> very <07260> great <07260> things,
whose look <02376> [was] more <05750> stout < 07229> than <04481>
his fellows <02273>.



21 I beheld, and the same <01797> horn <07162> made <05648>
war <07129> with the saints <06922>, and prevailed <03202>
against them;



22 Until <05704> the Ancient <06268> of days < 03118> came
<0858>, and judgment <01780> was given <03052> to the saints
<06922> of the most <05946> High <05946>; and the time <02166>
came <04291> that the saints <06922> possessed < 02631> the
kingdom <04437>.



23 Thus <03652> he said <0560>, The fourth < 07244> beast
<02423> shall be the fourth <07244> kingdom < 04437> upon earth
<0772>, which <01768> shall be diverse <08133> from all <03606>
kingdoms <04437>, and shall devour <0399> the whole <03606>
earth <0772>, and shall tread <01759> it down, and break <01854>
it in pieces.



24 And the ten <06236> horns <07162> out of this kingdom
<04437> [are] ten <06236> kings <04430> [that] shall arise
<06965>: and another <0312> shall rise <06966> after <0311> them;
and he shall be diverse <08133> from the first < 06933>, and he
shall subdue <08214> three <08532> kings <04430> .



25 And he shall speak <04449> [great] words <04406> against
<06655> the most <05943> High <05943>, and shall wear <01080>
out the saints <06922> of the most <05946> High < 05946>, and
think <05452> to change <08133> times <02166> and laws <01882>:
and they shall be given <03052> into his hand <03028> until
<05704> a time <05732> and times <05732> and the dividing
<06387> of time <05732>.



26 But the judgment <01780> shall sit <03488>, and they shall
take <05709> away <05709> his dominion <07985>, to consume
<08046> and to destroy <07> [it] unto the end < 05491>.



27 And the kingdom <04437> and dominion <07985>, and the
greatness <07238> of the kingdom <04437> under < 08460> the whole
<03606> heaven <08065>, shall be given <03052> to the people
<05972> of the saints <06922> of the most < 05945> High <05946>,
whose kingdom <04437> [is] an everlasting <05957> kingdom
<04437>, and all <03606> dominions <07985> shall serve <06399>
and obey <08086> him.



28 Hitherto [is] the end <05491> of the matter < 04406>. As for
me Daniel <01841>, my cogitations <07476> much < 07690> troubled
<0927> me, and my countenance <02122> changed < 08133> in me: but
I kept <05202> the matter <04406> in my heart < 03821>.



Daniel 8



1. In the third <07969> year <08141> of the reign <04438> of
king <04428> Belshazzar <01113> a vision <02377> appeared
<07200> unto me, [even unto] me Daniel <01840>, after <0310>
that which appeared <07200> unto me at the first < 08462>.



2 And I saw <07200> in a vision <02377>; and it came <01961>
to pass, when I saw <07200>, that I [was] at Shushan < 07800>
[in] the palace <01002>, which <0834> [is] in the province
<04082> of Elam <05867>; and I saw <07200> in a vision <02377>,
and I was by the river <0180> of Ulai <0195>.



3 Then I lifted <05375> up mine eyes <05869>, and saw <07200>,
and, behold <02009>, there stood <05975> before < 06440> the
river <0180> a ram <0352> which had [two] horns < 07161>: and the
[two] horns <07161> [were] high <01364>; but one < 0259> [was]
higher <01364> than <04480> the other <08145>, and the higher
<01364> came <05927> up last <0314>.



4 I saw <07200> the ram <0352> pushing <05055> westward
<03220>, and northward <06828>, and southward < 05045>; so that
no <03808> beasts <02416> might stand <05975> before <06440> him,
neither <0369> [was there any] that could deliver < 05337> out
of his hand <03027>; but he did <06213> according to his will
<07522>, and became <01431> great <01431>.



5 And as I was considering <0995>, behold <02009>, an he goat
<05795> came <0935> from the west <04628> on the face <06440> of
the whole <03605> earth <0776>, and touched < 05060> not the
ground <0776>: and the goat <06842> [had] a notable <02380> horn
<07161> between <0996> his eyes <05869>.



6 And he came <0935> to the ram <0352> that had [two] horns
<07161>, which <0834> I had seen <07200> standing <05975> before
<06440> the river <0180>, and ran <07323> unto him in the fury
<02534> of his power <03581>.



7 And I saw <07200> him come <05060> close < 0681> unto the ram
<0352>, and he was moved with choler <04843> against <0413> him,
and smote <05221> the ram <0352>, and brake < 07665> his two
<08147> horns <07161>: and there was no <03808> power <03581> in
the ram <0352> to stand <05975> before <06440> him, but he cast
<07993> him down to the ground <0776>, and stamped <07429> upon
him: and there was none <03808> that could deliver < 05337> the
ram <0352> out of his hand <03027>.



8 Therefore the he goat <06842> waxed very great < 01431>: and
when he was strong <06105>, the great <01419> horn <07161> was
broken <07665>; and for it came <05927> up four < 0702> notable
<02380> ones toward the four <0702> winds < 07307> of heaven
<08064>.



9 And out of one <0259> of them came <03318> forth <03318> a
little <04704> horn <07161>, which waxed exceeding <03499> great
<01431>, toward <0413> the south <05045>, and toward <0413> the
east <04217>, and toward <0413> the pleasant < 06643> [land].



10 And it waxed great <01431>, [even] to the host < 06635> of
heaven <08064>; and it cast <05307> down <05307> [some] of the
host <06635> and of the stars <03556> to the ground <0776>, and
stamped <07429> upon them.



11 Yea, he magnified <01431> [himself] even to the prince
<08269> of the host <06635>, and by him the daily < 08548>
[sacrifice] was taken <07311> away <07311>, and the place
<04349> of his sanctuary <04720> was cast < 07993> down.



12 And an host <06635> was given <05414> [him] against <05921>
the daily <08548> [sacrifice] by reason of transgression <06588>,
and it cast <07993> down the truth <0571> to the ground <0776>;
and it practised <06213>, and prospered <06743>.



13 Then I heard <08085> one <0259> saint < 06918> speaking
<01696>, and another <0259> saint <06918> said <0559> unto that
certain <06422> [saint] which spake <01696>, How < 05704> long
<05704> [shall be] the vision <02377> [concerning] the daily
<08548> [sacrifice], and the transgression <06588> of desolation
<08074>, to give <05414> both the sanctuary < 06944> and the host
<06635> to be trodden <04823> under foot <04823> ?



14 And he said <0559> unto me, Unto two thousand < 0505> and
three <07969> hundred <03967> days; then shall the sanctuary
<06944> be cleansed <06663>.



15. And it came <01961> to pass, when I, [even] I Daniel
<01840>, had seen <07200> the vision <02377>, and sought <01245>
for the meaning <0998>, then, behold <02009>, there stood
<05975> before <05048> me as the appearance < 04758> of a man
<01397>.



16 And I heard <08085> a man's <0120> voice < 06963> between
<0996> [the banks of] Ulai <0195>, which called < 07121>, and
said <0559>, Gabriel <01403>, make this <01975> [man] to
understand <0995> the vision <04758>.



17 So he came <0935> near <0681> where I stood < 05977>: and
when he came <0935>, I was afraid <01204>, and fell <05307> upon
my face <06440>: but he said <0559> unto me, Understand <0995>,
O son <01121> of man <0120>: for at the time < 06256> of the end
<07093> [shall be] the vision <04758>.



18 Now as he was speaking <01696> with me, I was in a deep
<07290> sleep <07290> on <05921> my face < 06440> toward the
ground <0776>: but he touched <05060> me, and set < 05975> me
upright <05977>.



19 And he said <0559>, Behold <02005>, I will make thee know
<03045> what shall be in the last <0319> end of the indignation
<02195>: for at the time appointed <04150> the end <07093>
[shall be].



20 The ram <0352> which <0834> thou sawest < 07200> having
<01167> [two] horns <07161> [are] the kings < 04428> of Media
<04074> and Persia <06539>.



21 And the rough <08163> goat <06842> [is] the king <04428> of
Grecia <03120>: and the great <01419> horn < 07161> that [is]
between <0996> his eyes <05869> [is] the first < 07223> king
<04428>.



22 Now that being broken <07665>, whereas four < 0702> stood
<05975> up for it, four <0702> kingdoms <04438> shall stand
<05975> up out of the nation <01471>, but not in his power
<03581>.



23 And in the latter <0319> time of their kingdom < 04438>,
when the transgressors <06586> are come to the full < 08552>, a
king <04428> of fierce <05794> countenance < 06440>, and
understanding <0995> dark <02420> sentences < 02420>, shall stand
<05975> up.



24 And his power <03581> shall be mighty <06105>, but not by
his own power <03581>: and he shall destroy <07843> wonderfully
<06381>, and shall prosper <06743>, and practise < 06213>, and
shall destroy <07843> the mighty <06099> and the holy <06918>
people <05971>.



25 And through <05921> his policy <07922> also he shall cause
craft <04820> to prosper <06743> in his hand < 03027>; and he
shall magnify <01431> [himself] in his heart <03824>, and by
peace <07962> shall destroy <07843> many <07227> : he shall also
stand <05975> up against <05921> the Prince < 08269> of princes
<08269>; but he shall be broken <07665> without < 0657> hand
<03027>.



26 And the vision <04758> of the evening <06153> and the
morning <01242> which <0834> was told <0560> [is] true <0571>:
wherefore shut <05640> thou up the vision <02377>; for it [shall
be] for many <07227> days <03117>.



27 And I Daniel <01840> fainted <01961>, and was sick <02470>
[certain] days <03117>; afterward I rose <06965> up, and did
<06213> the king's <04428> business <04399>; and I was
astonished <08074> at <05921> the vision <04758> , but none
<0369> understood <0995> [it].



Daniel 9



1. In the first <0259> year <08141> of Darius < 01867> the son
<01121> of Ahasuerus <0325>, of the seed <02233> of the Medes
<04074>, which <0834> was made king <04427> over <05921> the
realm <04438> of the Chaldeans <03778>;



2 In the first <0259> year <08141> of his reign < 04427> I
Daniel <01840> understood <0995> by books < 05612> the number
<04557> of the years <08141>, whereof <0834> the word <01697> of
the LORD <03068> came <01961> to Jeremiah < 03414> the prophet
<05030>, that he would accomplish <04390> seventy < 07657> years
<08141> in the desolations <02723> of Jerusalem < 03389>.



3 And I set <05414> my face <06440> unto the Lord <0136> God
<0430>, to seek <01245> by prayer <08605> and supplications
<08469>, with fasting <06685>, and sackcloth < 08242>, and ashes
<0665>:



4. And I prayed <06419> unto the LORD <03068> my God <0430>,
and made my confession <03034>, and said <0559>, O Lord <0136>,
the great <01419> and dreadful <03372> God < 0410>, keeping
<08104> the covenant <01285> and mercy <02617> to them that love
<0157> him, and to them that keep <08104> his commandments
<04687>;



5 We have sinned <02398>, and have committed <05753> iniquity
<05753>, and have done wickedly <07561>, and have rebelled
<04775>, even by departing <05493> from thy precepts <04687> and
from thy judgments <04941>:



6 Neither <03808> have we hearkened <08085> unto thy servants
<05650> the prophets <05030>, which <0834> spake <01696> in thy
name <08034> to our kings <04428>, our princes < 08269>, and our
fathers <01>, and to all <03605> the people < 05971> of the land
<0776>.



7 O Lord <0136>, righteousness <06666> [belongeth] unto thee,
but unto us confusion <01322> of faces <06440>, as at this
<02088> day <03117>; to the men <0376> of Judah <03063>, and to
the inhabitants <03427> of Jerusalem <03389>, and unto all
<03605> Israel <03478>, [that are] near <07138>, and [that are]
far <07350> off, through all <03605> the countries <0776>
whither thou hast driven <05080> them, because of their trespass
<04604> that they have trespassed <04603> against thee.



8 O Lord <0136>, to us [belongeth] confusion <01322> of face
<06440>, to our kings <04428>, to our princes < 08269>, and to
our fathers <01>, because <0834> we have sinned < 02398> against
thee.



9 To the Lord <0136> our God <0430> [belong] mercies <07356>
and forgivenesses <05547>, though <03588> we have rebelled
<04775> against him;



10 Neither <03808> have we obeyed <08085> the voice <06963> of
the LORD <03068> our God <0430>, to walk <03212> in his laws
<08451>, which <0834> he set <05414> before < 06440> us by his
servants <05650> the prophets <05030>.



11 Yea, all <03605> Israel <03478> have transgressed <05674>
thy law <08451>, even by departing <05493>, that they might not
obey <08085> thy voice <06963>; therefore the curse <0423> is
poured <05413> upon us, and the oath <07621> that [is] written
<03789> in the law <08451> of Moses <04872> the servant <05650>
of God <0430>, because <03588> we have sinned < 02398> against
him.



12 And he hath confirmed <06965> his words <01697>, which
<0834> he spake <01696> against <05921> us, and against <05921>
our judges <08199> that judged <08199> us, by bringing <0935>
upon us a great <01419> evil <07451>: for under < 08478> the
whole <03605> heaven <08064> hath not been done as hath been
done <06213> upon Jerusalem <03389>.



13 As [it is] written <03789> in the law <08451> of Moses
<04872>, all <03605> this <02063> evil < 07451> is come <0935>
upon us: yet made we not our prayer <02470> before the LORD
<03068> our God <0430>, that we might turn < 07725> from our
iniquities <05771>, and understand <07919> thy truth <0571>.



14 Therefore hath the LORD <03068> watched <08245> upon the
evil <07451>, and brought <0935> it upon us: for the LORD
<03068> our God <0430> [is] righteous <06662> in all <03605> his
works <04639> which <0834> he doeth <06213>: for we obeyed
<08085> not his voice <06963>.



15 And now <06258>, O Lord <0136> our God < 0430>, that hast
brought <03318> thy people <05971> forth <03318> out of the land
<0776> of Egypt <04714> with a mighty <02389> hand <03027>, and
hast gotten <06213> thee renown <08034>, as at this day <03117>;
we have sinned <02398>, we have done wickedly <07561>.



16 O Lord <0136>, according to all <03605> thy righteousness
<06666>, I beseech <04994> thee, let thine anger < 0639> and thy
fury <02534> be turned <07725> away from thy city < 05892>
Jerusalem <03389>, thy holy <06944> mountain < 02022>: because
<03588> for our sins <02399>, and for the iniquities <05771> of
our fathers <01>, Jerusalem <03389> and thy people <05971> [are
become] a reproach <02781> to all <03605> [that are] about
<05439> us.



17 Now <06258> therefore, O our God <0430>, hear <08085> the
prayer <08605> of thy servant <05650>, and his supplications
<08469>, and cause thy face <06440> to shine < 0215> upon thy
sanctuary <04720> that is desolate <08074>, for the Lord's
<0136> sake <04616>.



18 O my God <0430>, incline <05186> thine ear < 0241>, and hear
<08085>; open <06491> thine eyes <05869>, and behold <07200> our
desolations <08074>, and the city <05892> which < 0834> is called
<07121> by thy name <08034>: for we do not present <05307> our
supplications <08469> before <06440> thee for our
righteousnesses <06666>, but for thy great <07227> mercies
<07356>.



19 O Lord <0136>, hear <08085>; O Lord <0136>, forgive <05545>;
O Lord <0136>, hearken <07181> and do <06213>; defer <0309> not,
for thine own sake <04616>, O my God <0430>: for thy city
<05892> and thy people <05971> are called < 07121> by thy name
<08034>.



20. And whiles <05750> I [was] speaking <01696>, and praying
<06419>, and confessing <03034> my sin <02403> and the sin
<02403> of my people <05971> Israel <03478>, and presenting
<05307> my supplication <08467> before <06440> the LORD <03068>
my God <0430> for the holy <06944> mountain < 02022> of my God
<0430>;



21 Yea, whiles I [was] speaking <01696> in prayer < 08605>,
even the man <0376> Gabriel <01403>, whom <0834> I had seen
<07200> in the vision <02377> at the beginning < 08462>, being
caused to fly <03286> swiftly <03288>, touched < 05060> me about
the time <06256> of the evening <06153> oblation < 04503>.



22 And he informed <0995> [me], and talked <01696> with me,
and said <0559>, O Daniel <01840>, I am now < 06258> come <03318>
forth <03318> to give thee skill <07919> and understanding
<0998>.



23 At the beginning <08462> of thy supplications < 08469> the
commandment <01697> came <03318> forth <03318>, and I am come
<0935> to shew <05046> [thee]; for thou [art] greatly beloved
<02530>: therefore understand <0995> the matter < 01697>, and
consider <0995> the vision <02377>.



24 Seventy <07657> weeks <07620> are determined < 02852> upon
thy people <05971> and upon thy holy <06944> city < 05892>, to
finish <03607> the transgression <06588>, and to make an end
<02856> of sins <02403>, and to make reconciliation <03722> for
iniquity <05771>, and to bring <0935> in everlasting <05769>
righteousness <06664>, and to seal <02856> up the vision <02377>
and prophecy <05030>, and to anoint <04886> the most <06944>
Holy <06944>.



25 Know <03045> therefore and understand <07919>, [that] from
the going <04161> forth <04161> of the commandment <01697> to
restore <07725> and to build <01129> Jerusalem < 03389> unto the
Messiah <04899> the Prince <05057> [shall be] seven <07651>
weeks <07620>, and threescore <08346> and two < 08147> weeks
<07620>: the street <07339> shall be built < 01129> again <07725>,
and the wall <02742>, even in troublous <05916> times <06256>.



26 And after <0310> threescore <08346> and two < 08147> weeks
<07620> shall Messiah <04899> be cut <03772> off, but not for
himself: and the people <05971> of the prince <05057> that shall
come <0935> shall destroy <07843> the city < 05892> and the
sanctuary <06944>; and the end <07093> thereof [shall be] with a
flood <07858>, and unto the end <07093> of the war <04421>
desolations <08074> are determined <02782>.



27 And he shall confirm <01396> the covenant <01285> with many
<07227> for one <0259> week <07620>: and in the midst <02677> of
the week <07620> he shall cause the sacrifice <02077> and the
oblation <04503> to cease <07673>, and for the overspreading
<03671> of abominations <08251> he shall make [it] desolate
<08074>, even until <05704> the consummation < 03617>, and that
determined <02782> shall be poured <05413> upon the desolate
<08076>.



Daniel 10



1. In the third <07969> year <08141> of Cyrus < 03566> king
<04428> of Persia <06539> a thing <01697> was revealed <01540>
unto Daniel <01840>, whose <0834> name <08034> was called
<07121> Belteshazzar <01095>; and the thing < 01697> [was] true
<0571>, but the time appointed <06635> [was] long < 01419>: and
he understood <0995> the thing <01697>, and had understanding
<0998> of the vision <04758>.



2 In those <01992> days <03117> I Daniel < 01840> was mourning
<056> three <07969> full <03117> weeks < 07620>.



3 I ate <0398> no <03808> pleasant <02530> bread <03899>,
neither <03808> came <0935> flesh <01320> nor <03808> wine
<03196> in my mouth <06310>, neither <03808> did I anoint
<05480> myself at all, till <05704> three < 07969> whole <03117>
weeks <07620> were fulfilled <04390>.



4 And in the four <0702> and twentieth <06242> day <03117> of
the first <07223> month <02320>, as I was by the side <03027> of
the great <01419> river <05104>, which <01931> [is] Hiddekel
<02313>;



5 Then I lifted <05375> up mine eyes <05869>, and looked
<07200>, and behold <02009> a certain <0259> man <0376> clothed
<03847> in linen <0906>, whose loins <04975> [were] girded
<02296> with fine gold <03800> of Uphaz <0210>:



6 His body <01472> also [was] like the beryl <08658> , and his
face <06440> as the appearance <04758> of lightning <01300>, and
his eyes <05869> as lamps <03940> of fire <0784> , and his arms
<02220> and his feet <04772> like in colour < 05869> to polished
<07044> brass <05178>, and the voice <06963> of his words
<01697> like the voice <06963> of a multitude < 01995>.



7 And I Daniel <01840> alone <0905> saw < 07200> the vision
<04759>: for the men <0582> that were with me saw < 07200> not
the vision <04759>; but a great <01419> quaking < 02731> fell
<05307> upon them, so that they fled <01272> to hide <02244>
themselves.



8 Therefore I was left <07604> alone <0905>, and saw <07200>
this great <01419> vision <04759>, and there remained <07604> no
<03808> strength <03581> in me: for my comeliness < 01935> was
turned <02015> in me into corruption <04889>, and I retained
<06113> no <03808> strength <03581>.



9 Yet heard <08085> I the voice <06963> of his words <01697>:
and when I heard <08085> the voice <06963> of his words <01697>,
then was I in a deep <07290> sleep <07290> on my face <06440>,
and my face <06440> toward the ground <0776>.



10. And, behold <02009>, an hand <03027> touched < 05060> me,
which set <05128> me upon my knees <01290> and [upon] the palms
<03709> of my hands <03027>.



11 And he said <0559> unto me, O Daniel <01840>, a man <0376>
greatly beloved <02530>, understand <0995> the words <01697>
that I speak <01696> unto thee, and stand <05975> upright
<05977>: for unto thee am I now <06258> sent < 07971>. And when
he had spoken <01696> this <02088> word <01697> unto me, I stood
<05975> trembling <07460>.



12 Then said <0559> he unto me, Fear <03372> not, Daniel
<01840>: for from the first <07223> day <03117> that thou didst
set <05414> thine heart <03820> to understand < 0995>, and to
chasten <06031> thyself before <06440> thy God < 0430>, thy words
<01697> were heard <08085>, and I am come <0935> for thy words
<01697>.



13 But the prince <08269> of the kingdom <04438> of Persia
<06539> withstood <05975> me one <0259> and twenty <06242> days
<03117>: but, lo <02009>, Michael <04317>, one <0259> of the
chief <07223> princes <08269>, came <0935> to help <05826> me;
and I remained <03498> there <08033> with the kings <04428> of
Persia <06539>.



14 Now I am come <0935> to make thee understand < 0995> what
shall befall <07136> thy people <05971> in the latter <0319>
days <03117>: for yet <05750> the vision <02377> [is] for [many]
days <03117>.



15 And when he had spoken <01696> such <0428> words <01697>
unto me, I set <05414> my face <06440> toward the ground <0776>,
and I became <0481> dumb <0481>.



16 And, behold <02009>, [one] like the similitude < 01823> of
the sons <01121> of men <0120> touched <05060> my lips <08193>:
then I opened <06605> my mouth <06310>, and spake < 01696>, and
said <0559> unto him that stood <05975> before < 06440> me, O my
lord <0113>, by the vision <04758> my sorrows < 06735> are turned
<02015> upon me, and I have retained <06113> no < 03808> strength
<03581>.



17 For how <01963> can <03201> the servant < 05650> of this
<02088> my lord <0113> talk <01696> with this <02088> my lord
<0113>? for as for me, straightway <06258> there remained
<05975> no <03808> strength <03581> in me, neither <03808> is
there breath <05397> left <07604> in me.



18 Then there came again <03284> and touched <05060> me [one]
like the appearance <04758> of a man <0120>, and he strengthened
<02388> me,



19 And said <0559>, O man <0376> greatly beloved <02530>, fear
<03372> not: peace <07965> [be] unto thee, be strong <02388>,
yea, be strong <02388>. And when he had spoken <01696> unto me,
I was strengthened <02388>, and said <0559>, Let my lord <0113>
speak <01696>; for thou hast strengthened <02388> me.



20 Then said <0559> he, Knowest <03045> thou wherefore <04100>
I come <0935> unto thee? and now <06258> will I return <07725>
to fight <03898> with the prince <08269> of Persia <06539>: and
when I am gone <03318> forth <03318>, lo <02009> , the prince
<08269> of Grecia <03120> shall come <0935>.



21 But I will shew <05046> thee that which is noted < 07559> in
the scripture <03791> of truth <0571>: and [there is] none
<0369> that holdeth <02388> with me in these < 0428> things, but
Michael <04317> your prince <08269>.



Daniel 11



1. Also I in the first <0259> year <08141> of Darius <01867>
the Mede <04075>, [even] I, stood <05975> to confirm <02388> and
to strengthen <04581> him.



2 And now <06258> will I shew <05046> thee the truth <0571>.
Behold <02009>, there shall stand <05975> up yet < 05750> three
<07969> kings <04428> in Persia <06539>; and the fourth <07243>
shall be far <01419> richer <06238> than [they] all <03605>: and
by his strength <02394> through his riches <06239> he shall stir
<05782> up all <03605> against the realm <04438> of Grecia
<03120>.



3 And a mighty <01368> king <04428> shall stand < 05975> up,
that shall rule <04910> with great <07227> dominion <04474>, and
do <06213> according to his will <07522>.



4 And when he shall stand <05975> up, his kingdom < 04438>
shall be broken <07665>, and shall be divided <02673> toward the
four <0702> winds <07307> of heaven <08064>; and not to his
posterity <0319>, nor <03808> according to his dominion <04915>
which <0834> he ruled <04910>: for his kingdom < 04438> shall be
plucked <05428> up, even for others <0312> beside < 0905> those
<0428>.



5. And the king <04428> of the south <05045> shall be strong
<02388>, and [one] of his princes <08269>; and he shall be
strong <02388> above <05921> him, and have dominion <04910>; his
dominion <04474> [shall be] a great <07227> dominion <04474>.



6 And in the end <07093> of years <08141> they shall join
<02266> themselves together; for the king's <04428> daughter
<01323> of the south <05045> shall come <0935> to the king
<04428> of the north <06828> to make <06213> an agreement
<04339>: but she shall not retain <06113> the power <03581> of
the arm <02220>; neither <03808> shall he stand < 05975>, nor his
arm <02220>: but she shall be given <05414> up, and they that
brought <0935> her, and he that begat <03205> her, and he that
strengthened <02388> her in [these] times <06256>.



7 But out of a branch <05342> of her roots <08328> shall [one]
stand <05975> up in his estate <03653>, which shall come <0935>
with an army <02428>, and shall enter <0935> into the fortress
<04581> of the king <04428> of the north <06828> , and shall deal
<06213> against them, and shall prevail <02388>:



8 And shall also <01571> carry <0935> captives < 07628> into
Egypt <04714> their gods <0430>, with their princes <05257>,
[and] with their precious <02532> vessels <03627> of silver
<03701> and of gold <02091>; and he shall continue <05975>
[more] years <08141> than the king <04428> of the north <06828>.



9 So the king <04428> of the south <05045> shall come <0935>
into [his] kingdom <04438>, and shall return <07725> into <0413>
his own land <0127>.



10 But his sons <01121> shall be stirred <01624> up, and shall
assemble <0622> a multitude <01995> of great < 07227> forces
<02428>: and [one] shall certainly come <0935>, and overflow
<07857>, and pass <05674> through: then shall he return <07725>,
and be stirred <01624> up, [even] to his fortress < 04581>.



11 And the king <04428> of the south <05045> shall be moved
with choler <04843>, and shall come <03318> forth < 03318> and
fight <03898> with him, [even] with the king <04428> of the
north <06828>: and he shall set <05975> forth < 05975> a great
<07227> multitude <01995>; but the multitude < 01995> shall be
given <05414> into his hand <03027>.



12 [And] when he hath taken <05375> away the multitude <01995>,
his heart <03824> shall be lifted <07311> up; and he shall cast
<05307> down <05307> [many] ten <07239> thousands <07239>: but
he shall not be strengthened <05810> [by it].



13 For the king <04428> of the north <06828> shall return
<07725>, and shall set <05975> forth a multitude < 01995> greater
<07227> than <04480> the former <07223>, and shall certainly
come <0935> after <07093> certain <06256> years <08141> with a
great <01419> army <02428> and with much riches < 07399>.



14 And in those <01992> times <06256> there shall many <07227>
stand <05975> up against <05921> the king < 04428> of the south
<05045>: also the robbers <06530> of thy people < 05971> shall
exalt <05375> themselves to establish <05975> the vision <02377>;
but they shall fall <03782>.



15 So the king <04428> of the north <06828> shall come <0935>,
and cast <08210> up a mount <05550>, and take < 03920> the most
fenced <04013> cities <05892>: and the arms < 02220> of the south
<05045> shall not withstand <05975>, neither < 0369> his chosen
<04005> people <05971>, neither <0369> [shall there be any]
strength <03581> to withstand <05975>.



16 But he that cometh <0935> against <0413> him shall do
<06213> according to his own <07522> will < 07522>, and none
<0369> shall stand <05975> before <06440> him: and he shall
stand <05975> in the glorious <06643> land < 0776>, which by his
hand <03027> shall be consumed <03615>.



17 He shall also set <07760> his face <06440> to enter <0935>
with the strength <08633> of his whole <03605> kingdom <04438>,
and upright <03477> ones with him; thus shall he do < 06213>: and
he shall give <05414> him the daughter <01323> of women <0802>,
corrupting <07843> her: but she shall not stand < 05975> [on his
side], neither <03808> be for him.



18 After this shall he turn <07725> his face <06440> unto the
isles <0339>, and shall take <03920> many < 07227>: but a prince
<07101> for his own behalf shall cause the reproach < 02781>
offered by him to cease <07673>; without <01115> his own
reproach <02781> he shall cause [it] to turn <07725> upon him.



19 Then he shall turn <07725> his face <06440> toward the fort
<04581> of his own land <0776>: but he shall stumble <03782> and
fall <05307>, and not be found <04672>.



20 Then shall stand <05975> up in his estate <03653> a raiser
<05674> of taxes <05065> [in] the glory <01925> of the kingdom
<04438>: but within few <0259> days <03117> he shall be
destroyed <07665>, neither <03808> in anger < 0639>, nor <03808>
in battle <04421>.



21. And in his estate <03653> shall stand <05975> up a vile
<0959> person, to whom <05921> they shall not give <05414> the
honour <01935> of the kingdom <04438>: but he shall come <0935>
in peaceably <07962>, and obtain <02388> the kingdom <04438> by
flatteries <02519>.



22 And with the arms <02220> of a flood <07858> shall they be
overflown <07857> from before <06440> him, and shall be broken
<07665>; yea <01571>, also <01571> the prince <05057> of the
covenant <01285>.



23 And after the league <02266> [made] with him he shall work
<06213> deceitfully <04820>: for he shall come < 05927> up, and
shall become <06105> strong <06105> with a small < 04592> people
<01471>.



24 He shall enter <0935> peaceably <07962> even upon the
fattest <04924> places of the province <04082>; and he shall do
<06213> [that] which <0834> his fathers <01> have not done
<06213>, nor his fathers <01>' fathers <01>; he shall scatter
<0967> among them the prey <0961>, and spoil < 07998>, and riches
<07399>: [yea], and he shall forecast <02803> his devices
<04284> against <05921> the strong <04013> holds <04013>, even
for a time <06256>.



25 And he shall stir <05782> up his power <03581> and his
courage <03824> against <05921> the king <04428> of the south
<05045> with a great <01419> army <02428>; and the king <04428>
of the south <05045> shall be stirred <01624> up to battle
<04421> with a very great <01419> and mighty < 06099> army
<02428>; but he shall not stand <05975>: for they shall forecast
<02803> devices <04284> against <05921> him.



26 Yea, they that feed <0398> of the portion <06598> of his
meat <06598> shall destroy <07665> him, and his army <02428>
shall overflow <07857>: and many <07227> shall fall <05307> down
slain <02491>.



27 And both <08147> these kings <04428>' hearts < 03824> [shall
be] to do mischief <04827>, and they shall speak < 01696> lies
<03576> at <05921> one <0259> table < 07979>; but it shall not
prosper <06743>: for yet <05750> the end <07093> [shall be] at
the time appointed <04150>.



28 Then shall he return <07725> into his land <0776> with
great <01419> riches <07399>; and his heart < 03824> [shall be]
against <05921> the holy <06944> covenant < 01285>; and he shall
do <06213> [exploits], and return <07725> to his own land <0776>.



29 At the time appointed <04150> he shall return < 07725>, and
come <0935> toward the south <05045>; but it shall not be as the
former <07223>, or as the latter <0314>.



30 For the ships <06716> of Chittim <03794> shall come <0935>
against him: therefore he shall be grieved <03512>, and return
<07725>, and have indignation <02194> against < 05921> the holy
<06944> covenant <01285>: so shall he do <06213> ; he shall even
return <07725>, and have intelligence <0995> with them that
forsake <05800> the holy <06944> covenant < 01285>.



31 And arms <02220> shall stand <05975> on his part <02506>,
and they shall pollute <02490> the sanctuary <04720> of strength
<04581>, and shall take <05493> away <05493> the daily <08548>
[sacrifice], and they shall place <05414> the abomination
<08251> that maketh desolate <08074>.



32 And such as do wickedly <07561> against the covenant
<01285> shall he corrupt <02610> by flatteries < 02514>: but the
people <05971> that do know <03045> their God < 0430> shall be
strong <02388>, and do <06213> [exploits].



33 And they that understand <07919> among the people < 05971>
shall instruct <0995> many <07227>: yet they shall fall <03782>
by the sword <02719>, and by flame <03852>, by captivity <07628>,
and by spoil <0961>, [many] days <03117>.



34 Now when they shall fall <03782>, they shall be holpen
<05826> with a little <04592> help <05828>: but many <07227>
shall cleave <03867> to them with flatteries <02519>.



35 And [some] of them of understanding <07919> shall fall
<03782>, to try <06884> them, and to purge < 01305>, and to make
[them] white <03835>, [even] to the time <06256> of the end
<07093>: because [it is] yet <05750> for a time appointed
<04150>.



36 And the king <04428> shall do <06213> according to his will
<07522>; and he shall exalt <07311> himself, and magnify <01431>
himself above <05921> every <03605> god <0410>, and shall speak
<01696> marvellous <06381> things against < 05921> the God <0410>
of gods <0410>, and shall prosper <06743> till < 05704> the
indignation <02195> be accomplished <03615>: for that that is
determined <02782> shall be done <06213>.



37 Neither <03808> shall he regard <0995> the God <0430> of
his fathers <01>, nor the desire <02532> of women < 0802>, nor
<03808> regard <0995> any <03605> god < 0433>: for he shall
magnify <01431> himself above <05921> all < 03605>.



38 But in his estate <03653> shall he honour <03513> the God
<0433> of forces <04581>: and a god <0433> whom <0834> his
fathers <01> knew <03045> not shall he honour < 03513> with gold
<02091>, and silver <03701>, and with precious < 03368> stones
<068>, and pleasant <02530> things.



39 Thus shall he do <06213> in the most <04581> strong <04581>
holds <04013> with a strange <05236> god <0433>, whom <0834> he
shall acknowledge <05234> [and] increase <07235> with glory
<03519>: and he shall cause them to rule <04910> over many
<07227>, and shall divide <02505> the land < 0127> for gain
<04242>.



40 And at the time <06256> of the end <07093> shall the king
<04428> of the south <05045> push <05055> at him: and the king
<04428> of the north <06828> shall come <08175> against <05921>
him like a whirlwind <08175>, with chariots <07393>, and with
horsemen <06571>, and with many <07227> ships < 0591>; and he
shall enter <0935> into the countries <0776>, and shall overflow
<07857> and pass <05674> over <05674>.



41 He shall enter <0935> also into the glorious < 06643> land
<0776>, and many <07227> [countries] shall be overthrown <03782>:
but these <0428> shall escape <04422> out of his hand <03027>,
[even] Edom <0123>, and Moab <04124>, and the chief <07225> of
the children <01121> of Ammon <05983>.



42 He shall stretch <07971> forth his hand <03027> also upon
the countries <0776>: and the land <0776> of Egypt <04714> shall
not escape <06413>.



43 But he shall have power <04910> over the treasures < 04362>
of gold <02091> and of silver <03701>, and over all <03605> the
precious <02530> things of Egypt <04714>: and the Libyans
<03864> and the Ethiopians <03569> [shall be] at his steps
<04703>.



44 But tidings <08052> out of the east <04217> and out of the
north <06828> shall trouble <0926> him: therefore he shall go
<03318> forth <03318> with great <01419> fury <02534> to destroy
<08045>, and utterly to make away <02763> many < 07227>.



45 And he shall plant <05193> the tabernacles <0168> of his
palace <0643> between <0996> the seas <03220> in the glorious
<06643> holy <06944> mountain <02022>; yet he shall come <0935>
to his end <07093>, and none <0369> shall help < 05826> him.



Daniel 12



1. And at that time <06256> shall Michael <04317> stand <05975>
up, the great <01419> prince <08269> which standeth <05975> for
the children <01121> of thy people <05971>: and there shall be a
time <06256> of trouble <06869>, such <0834> as never <03808>
was since there was a nation <01471> [even] to that same <01931>
time <06256>: and at that time <06256> thy people < 05971> shall
be delivered <04422>, every <03605> one that shall be found
<04672> written <03789> in the book <05612>.



2 And many <07227> of them that sleep <03463> in the dust
<06083> of the earth <0127> shall awake <06974>, some <0428> to
everlasting <05769> life <02416>, and some < 0428> to shame
<02781> [and] everlasting <05769> contempt < 01860>.



3 And they that be wise <07919> shall shine <02094> as the
brightness <02096> of the firmament <07549>; and they that turn
many <07227> to righteousness <06663> as the stars <03556> for
ever <05769> and ever <05703>.



4 But thou, O Daniel <01840>, shut <05640> up the words
<01697>, and seal <02856> the book <05612>, [even] to the time
<06256> of the end <07093>: many <07227> shall run <07751> to
and fro <07751>, and knowledge <01847> shall be increased
<07235>.



5. Then I Daniel <01840> looked <07200>, and, behold <02009>,
there stood <05975> other <0312> two <08147>, the one <0259> on
this <02008> side of the bank <08193> of the river <02975>, and
the other <0259> on that side of the bank <08193> of the river
<02975>.



6 And [one] said <0559> to the man <0376> clothed <03847> in
linen <0906>, which <0834> [was] upon the waters < 04325> of the
river <02975>, How <05704> long <05704> [shall it be to] the end
<07093> of these wonders <06382>?



7 And I heard <08085> the man <0376> clothed < 03847> in linen
<0906>, which <0834> [was] upon the waters < 04325> of the river
<02975>, when he held <07311> up his right < 03225> hand <03225>
and his left <08040> hand <08040> unto heaven < 08064>, and sware
<07650> by him that liveth <02416> for ever < 05769> that [it
shall be] for a time <04150>, times <04150>, and an half <02677>;
and when he shall have accomplished <03615> to scatter < 05310>
the power <03027> of the holy <06944> people < 05971>, all
<03605> these <0428> [things] shall be finished < 03615>.



8 And I heard <08085>, but I understood <0995> not: then said
<0559> I, O my Lord <0113>, what <04100> [shall be] the end
<0319> of these <0428> [things]?



9 And he said <0559>, Go <03212> thy way, Daniel <01840>: for
the words <01697> [are] closed <05640> up and sealed <02856>
till <05704> the time <06256> of the end <07093> .



10 Many <07227> shall be purified <01305>, and made white
<03835>, and tried <06884>; but the wicked < 07563> shall do
wickedly <07561>: and none <03808> of the wicked < 07563> shall
understand <0995>; but the wise <07919> shall understand <0995>.



11 And from the time <06256> [that] the daily < 08548>
[sacrifice] shall be taken <05493> away <05493>, and the
abomination <08251> that maketh desolate <08074> set <05414> up,
[there shall be] a thousand <0505> two hundred <03967> and
ninety <08673> days <03117>.



12 Blessed <0835> [is] he that waiteth <02442>, and cometh
<05060> to the thousand <0505> three <07969> hundred <03967> and
five <02568> and thirty <07970> days <03117>.



13 But go <03212> thou thy way <01870> till the end <07093>
[be]: for thou shalt rest <05117>, and stand <05975> in thy lot
<01486> at the end <07093> of the days <03117>.
