==== <DA1>

DA-1:1 In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of
Judah came

Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon unto Jerusalem, and besieged it.

DA-1:2 And the Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand,
with part of

the vessels of the house of God: which he carried into the land
of Shinar to

the house of his god; and he brought the vessels into the
treasure house of

his god.

DA-1:3 And the king spake unto Ashpenaz the master of his
eunuchs, that he

should bring [certain] of the children of Israel, and of the
king's seed, and

of the princes;

DA-1:4 Children in whom [was] no blemish, but well favoured,
and skilful in

all wisdom, and cunning in knowledge, and understanding science,
and such as

[had] ability in them to stand in the king's palace, and whom
they might teach

the learning and the tongue of the Chaldeans.

DA-1:5 And the king appointed them a daily provision of the
king's meat, and

of the wine which he drank: so nourishing them three years, that
at the end

thereof they might stand before the king.

DA-1:6 Now among these were of the children of Judah, Daniel,
Hananiah,

Mishael, and Azariah:

DA-1:7 Unto whom the prince of the eunuchs gave names: for he
gave unto

Daniel [the name] of Belteshazzar; and to Hananiah, of Shadrach;
and to

Mishael, of Meshach; and to Azariah, of Abednego.

DA-1:8 But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not
defile himself with

the portion of the king's meat, nor with the wine which he drank:
therefore he

requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile
himself.

DA-1:9 Now God had brought Daniel into favour and tender love
with the prince

of the eunuchs.

DA-1:10 And the prince of the eunuchs said unto Daniel, I fear
my lord the

king, who hath appointed your meat and your drink: for why
should he see your

faces worse liking than the children which [are] of your sort?
then shall ye

make [me] endanger my head to the king.

DA-1:11 Then said Daniel to Melzar, whom the prince of the
eunuchs had set

over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah,

DA-1:12 Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days; and let
them give us

pulse to eat, and water to drink.

DA-1:13 Then let our countenances be looked upon before thee,
and the

countenance of the children that eat of the portion of the
king's meat: and as

thou seest, deal with thy servants.

DA-1:14 So he consented to them in this matter, and proved them
ten days.

DA-1:15 And at the end of ten days their countenances appeared
fairer and

fatter in flesh than all the children which did eat the portion
of the king's

meat.

DA-1:16 Thus Melzar took away the portion of their meat, and
the wine that

they should drink; and gave them pulse.

DA-1:17 As for these four children, God gave them knowledge and
skill in all

learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions
and dreams.

DA-1:18 Now at the end of the days that the king had said he
should bring

them in, then the prince of the eunuchs brought them in before
Nebuchadnezzar.



DA-1:19 And the king communed with them; and among them all was
found none

like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: therefore stood
they before the

king.

DA-1:20 And in all matters of wisdom [and] understanding, that
the king

inquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the
magicians [and]

astrologers that [were] in all his realm.

DA-1:21 And Daniel continued [even] unto the first year of king
Cyrus.

==== <DA2>

DA-2:1 And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar
Nebuchadnezzar

dreamed dreams, wherewith his spirit was troubled, and his sleep
brake from

him.

DA-2:2 Then the king commanded to call the magicians, and the
astrologers,

and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans, for to show the king his
dreams. So they

came and stood before the king.

DA-2:3 And the king said unto them, I have dreamed a dream, and
my spirit was

troubled to know the dream.

DA-2:4 Then spake the Chaldeans to the king in Syriack, O king,
live for

ever: tell thy servants the dream, and we will show the
interpretation.

DA-2:5 The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, The thing
is gone from

me: if ye will not make known unto me the dream, with the
interpretation

thereof, ye shall be cut in pieces, and your houses shall be
made a dunghill.

DA-2:6 But if ye show the dream, and the interpretation thereof,
ye shall

receive of me gifts and rewards and great honour: therefore show
me the dream,

and the interpretation thereof.

DA-2:7 They answered again and said, Let the king tell his
servants the

dream, and we will show the interpretation of it.

DA-2:8 The king answered and said, I know of certainty that ye
would gain the

time, because ye see the thing is gone from me.

DA-2:9 But if ye will not make known unto me the dream, [there
is but] one

decree for you: for ye have prepared lying and corrupt words to
speak before

me, till the time be changed: therefore tell me the dream, and I
shall know

that ye can show me the interpretation thereof.

DA-2:10 The Chaldeans answered before the king, and said, There
is not a man

upon the earth that can show the king's matter: therefore [there
is] no king,

lord, nor ruler, [that] asked such things at any magician, or
astrologer, or

Chaldean.

DA-2:11 And [it is] a rare thing that the king requireth, and
there is none

other that can show it before the king, except the gods, whose
dwelling is not

with flesh.

DA-2:12 For this cause the king was angry and very furious, and
commanded to

destroy all the wise [men] of Babylon.

DA-2:13 And the decree went forth that the wise [men] should be
slain; and

they sought Daniel and his fellows to be slain.

DA-2:14 Then Daniel answered with counsel and wisdom to Arioch
the captain of

the king's guard, which was gone forth to slay the wise [men] of
Babylon:

DA-2:15 He answered and said to Arioch the king's captain, Why
[is] the

decree [so] hasty from the king? Then Arioch made the thing
known to Daniel.

DA-2:16 Then Daniel went in, and desired of the king that he
would give him

time, and that he would show the king the interpretation.

DA-2:17 Then Daniel went to his house, and made the thing known
to Hananiah,

Mishael, and Azariah, his companions:

DA-2:18 That they would desire mercies of the God of heaven
concerning this

secret; that Daniel and his fellows should not perish with the
rest of the

wise [men] of Babylon.

DA-2:19 Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a night
vision. Then

Daniel blessed the God of heaven.

DA-2:20 Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God
for ever and

ever: for wisdom and might are his:

DA-2:21 And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth
kings, and

setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge
to them that

know understanding:

DA-2:22 He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth
what [is] in the

darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.

DA-2:23 I thank thee, and praise thee, O thou God of my fathers,
who hast

given me wisdom and might, and hast made known unto me now what
we desired of

thee: for thou hast [now] made known unto us the king's matter.

DA-2:24 Therefore Daniel went in unto Arioch, whom the king had
ordained to

destroy the wise [men] of Babylon: he went and said thus unto
him; Destroy not

the wise [men] of Babylon: bring me in before the king, and I
will show unto

the king the interpretation.

DA-2:25 Then Arioch brought in Daniel before the king in haste,
and said thus

unto him, I have found a man of the captives of Judah, that will
make known

unto the king the interpretation.

DA-2:26 The king answered and said to Daniel, whose name [was]
Belteshazzar,

Art thou able to make known unto me the dream which I have seen,
and the

interpretation thereof?

DA-2:27 Daniel answered in the presence of the king, and said,
The secret

which the king hath demanded cannot the wise [men], the
astrologers, the

magicians, the soothsayers, show unto the king;

DA-2:28 But there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets,
and maketh known

to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. Thy
dream, and

the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are these;

DA-2:29 As for thee, O king, thy thoughts came [into thy mind]
upon thy bed,

what should come to pass hereafter: and he that revealeth
secrets maketh known

to thee what shall come to pass.

DA-2:30 But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for
[any] wisdom

that I have more than any living, but for [their] sakes that
shall make known

the interpretation to the king, and that thou mightest know the
thoughts of

thy heart.

DA-2:31 Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This
great image,

whose brightness [was] excellent, stood before thee; and the
form thereof

[was] terrible.

DA-2:32 This image's head [was] of fine gold, his breast and
his arms of

silver, his belly and his thighs of brass,

DA-2:33 His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of
clay.

DA-2:34 Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands,
which smote

the image upon his feet [that were] of iron and clay, and brake
them to

pieces.

DA-2:35 Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and
the gold,

broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the
summer

threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place
was found for

them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain,
and filled

the whole earth.

DA-2:36 This [is] the dream; and we will tell the
interpretation thereof

before the king.

DA-2:37 Thou, O king, [art] a king of kings: for the God of
heaven hath given

thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory.

DA-2:38 And wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts
of the field

and the fowls of the heaven hath he given into thine hand, and
hath made thee

ruler over them all. Thou [art] this head of gold.

DA-2:39 And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to
thee, and

another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all
the earth.

DA-2:40 And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron:
forasmuch as iron

breaketh in pieces and subdueth all [things]: and as iron that
breaketh all

these, shall it break in pieces and bruise.

DA-2:41 And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of
potter's clay, and

part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be
in it of the

strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed
with miry clay.

DA-2:42 And [as] the toes of the feet [were] part of iron, and
part of clay,

[so] the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.

DA-2:43 And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they
shall mingle

themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one
to another,

even as iron is not mixed with clay.

DA-2:44 And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven
set up a

kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall
not be left to

other people, [but] it shall break in pieces and consume all
these kingdoms,

and it shall stand for ever.

DA-2:45 Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of
the mountain

without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass,
the clay, the

silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king
what shall

come to pass hereafter: and the dream [is] certain, and the
interpretation

thereof sure.

DA-2:46 Then the king Nebuchadnezzar fell upon his face, and
worshipped

Daniel, and commanded that they should offer an oblation and
sweet odours unto

him.

DA-2:47 The king answered unto Daniel, and said, Of a truth [it
is], that

your God [is] a God of gods, and a Lord of kings, and a revealer
of secrets,

seeing thou couldest reveal this secret.

DA-2:48 Then the king made Daniel a great man, and gave him
many great gifts,

and made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon, and chief
of the

governors over all the wise [men] of Babylon.

DA-2:49 Then Daniel requested of the king, and he set Shadrach,
Meshach, and

Abednego, over the affairs of the province of Babylon: but
Daniel [sat] in the

gate of the king.

==== <DA3>

DA-3:1 Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose
height [was]

threescore cubits, [and] the breadth thereof six cubits: he set
it up in the

plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon.

DA-3:2 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather together the
princes, the

governors, and the captains, the judges, the treasurers, the
counsellors, the

sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, to come to the
dedication of

the image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.

DA-3:3 Then the princes, the governors, and captains, the
judges, the

treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of
the

provinces, were gathered together unto the dedication of the
image that

Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up; and they stood before the
image that

Nebuchadnezzar had set up.

DA-3:4 Then an herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded, O
people, nations,

and languages,

DA-3:5 [That] at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet,
flute, harp,

sackbut, psaltery, dulcimer, and all kinds of music, ye fall
down and worship

the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath set up:

DA-3:6 And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth shall the
same hour be cast

into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.

DA-3:7 Therefore at that time, when all the people heard the
sound of the

cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and all kinds of music,
all the

people, the nations, and the languages, fell down [and]
worshipped the golden

image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.

DA-3:8 Wherefore at that time certain Chaldeans came near, and
accused the

Jews.

DA-3:9 They spake and said to the king Nebuchadnezzar, O king,
live for ever.



DA-3:10 Thou, O king, hast made a decree, that every man that
shall hear the

sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and
dulcimer, and all

kinds of music, shall fall down and worship the golden image:

DA-3:11 And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth, [that] he
should be cast

into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.

DA-3:12 There are certain Jews whom thou hast set over the
affairs of the

province of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego; these men,
O king, have

not regarded thee: they serve not thy gods, nor worship the
golden image which

thou hast set up.

DA-3:13 Then Nebuchadnezzar in [his] rage and fury commanded to
bring

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Then they brought these men
before the king.

DA-3:14 Nebuchadnezzar spake and said unto them, [Is it] true,
O Shadrach,

Meshach, and Abednego, do not ye serve my gods, nor worship the
golden image

which I have set up?

DA-3:15 Now if ye be ready that at what time ye hear the sound
of the cornet,

flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of
music, ye fall

down and worship the image which I have made; [well]: but if ye
worship not,

ye shall be cast the same hour into the midst of a burning fiery
furnace; and

who [is] that God that shall deliver you out of my hands?

DA-3:16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, answered and said to
the king, O

Nebuchadnezzar, we [are] not careful to answer thee in this
matter.

DA-3:17 If it be [so], our God whom we serve is able to deliver
us from the

burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver [us] out of thine
hand, O king.

DA-3:18 But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will
not serve thy

gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.

DA-3:19 Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and the form of
his visage was

changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego: [therefore] he
spake, and

commanded that they should heat the furnace one seven times more
than it was

wont to be heated.

DA-3:20 And he commanded the most mighty men that [were] in his
army to bind

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, [and] to cast [them] into the
burning fiery

furnace.

DA-3:21 Then these men were bound in their coats, their hosen,
and their

hats, and their [other] garments, and were cast into the midst
of the burning

fiery furnace.

DA-3:22 Therefore because the king's commandment was urgent,
and the furnace

exceeding hot, the flame of the fire slew those men that took up
Shadrach,

Meshach, and Abednego.

DA-3:23 And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego,
fell down bound

into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.

DA-3:24 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonied, and rose up
in haste,

[and] spake, and said unto his counsellors, Did not we cast
three men bound

into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto the king,
True, O

king.

DA-3:25 He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking
in the midst

of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth
is like the Son

of God.

DA-3:26 Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the
burning fiery

furnace, [and] spake, and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego,
ye servants

of the most high God, come forth, and come [hither]. Then
Shadrach, Meshach,

and Abednego, came forth of the midst of the fire.

DA-3:27 And the princes, governors, and captains, and the
king's counsellors,

being gathered together, saw these men, upon whose bodies the
fire had no

power, nor was an hair of their head singed, neither were their
coats changed,

nor the smell of fire had passed on them.

DA-3:28 [Then] Nebuchadnezzar spake, and said, Blessed [be] the
God of

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who hath sent his angel, and
delivered his

servants that trusted in him, and have changed the king's word,
and yielded

their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god,
except their own

God.

DA-3:29 Therefore I make a decree, That every people, nation,
and language,

which speak any thing amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach,
and

Abednego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made
a dunghill:

because there is no other God that can deliver after this sort.

DA-3:30 Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego,
in the

province of Babylon.

==== <DA4>

DA-4:1 Nebuchadnezzar the king, unto all people, nations, and
languages, that

dwell in all the earth; Peace be multiplied unto you.

DA-4:2 I thought it good to show the signs and wonders that the
high God hath

wrought toward me.

DA-4:3 How great [are] his signs! and how mighty [are] his
wonders! his

kingdom [is] an everlasting kingdom, and his dominion [is] from
generation to

generation.

DA-4:4 I Nebuchadnezzar was at rest in mine house, and
flourishing in my

palace:

DA-4:5 I saw a dream which made me afraid, and the thoughts
upon my bed and

the visions of my head troubled me.

DA-4:6 Therefore made I a decree to bring in all the wise [men]
of Babylon

before me, that they might make known unto me the interpretation
of the dream.



DA-4:7 Then came in the magicians, the astrologers, the
Chaldeans, and the

soothsayers: and I told the dream before them; but they did not
make known

unto me the interpretation thereof.

DA-4:8 But at the last Daniel came in before me, whose name
[was]

Belteshazzar, according to the name of my god, and in whom [is]
the spirit of

the holy gods: and before him I told the dream, [saying],

DA-4:9 O Belteshazzar, master of the magicians, because I know
that the

spirit of the holy gods [is] in thee, and no secret troubleth
thee, tell me

the visions of my dream that I have seen, and the interpretation
thereof.

DA-4:10 Thus [were] the visions of mine head in my bed; I saw,
and behold, a

tree in the midst of the earth, and the height thereof [was]
great.

DA-4:11 The tree grew, and was strong, and the height thereof
reached unto

heaven, and the sight thereof to the end of all the earth:

DA-4:12 The leaves thereof [were] fair, and the fruit thereof
much, and in it

[was] meat for all: the beasts of the field had shadow under it,
and the fowls

of the heaven dwelt in the boughs thereof, and all flesh was fed
of it.

DA-4:13 I saw in the visions of my head upon my bed, and,
behold, a watcher

and an holy one came down from heaven;

DA-4:14 He cried aloud, and said thus, Hew down the tree, and
cut off his

branches, shake off his leaves, and scatter his fruit: let the
beasts get away

from under it, and the fowls from his branches:

DA-4:15 Nevertheless leave the stump of his roots in the earth,
even with a

band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field; and
let it be wet

with the dew of heaven, and [let] his portion [be] with the
beasts in the

grass of the earth:

DA-4:16 Let his heart be changed from man's, and let a beast's
heart be given

unto him: and let seven times pass over him.

DA-4:17 This matter [is] by the decree of the watchers, and the
demand by the

word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know
that the most

High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever
he will, and

setteth up over it the basest of men.

DA-4:18 This dream I king Nebuchadnezzar have seen. Now thou, O
Belteshazzar,

declare the interpretation thereof, forasmuch as all the wise
[men] of my

kingdom are not able to make known unto me the interpretation:
but thou [art]

able; for the spirit of the holy gods [is] in thee.

DA-4:19 Then Daniel, whose name [was] Belteshazzar, was
astonied for one

hour, and his thoughts troubled him. The king spake, and said,
Belteshazzar,

let not the dream, or the interpretation thereof, trouble thee.
Belteshazzar

answered and said, My lord, the dream [be] to them that hate
thee, and the

interpretation thereof to thine enemies.

DA-4:20 The tree that thou sawest, which grew, and was strong,
whose height

reached unto the heaven, and the sight thereof to all the earth;

DA-4:21 Whose leaves [were] fair, and the fruit thereof much,
and in it [was]

meat for all; under which the beasts of the field dwelt, and
upon whose

branches the fowls of the heaven had their habitation:

DA-4:22 It [is] thou, O king, that art grown and become strong:
for thy

greatness is grown, and reacheth unto heaven, and thy dominion
to the end of

the earth.

DA-4:23 And whereas the king saw a watcher and an holy one
coming down from

heaven, and saying, Hew the tree down, and destroy it; yet leave
the stump of

the roots thereof in the earth, even with a band of iron and
brass, in the

tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew of
heaven, and [let]

his portion [be] with the beasts of the field, till seven times
pass over him;



DA-4:24 This [is] the interpretation, O king, and this [is] the
decree of the

most High, which is come upon my lord the king:

DA-4:25 That they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling
shall be with

the beasts of the field, and they shall make thee to eat grass
as oxen, and

they shall wet thee with the dew of heaven, and seven times
shall pass over

thee, till thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of
men, and

giveth it to whomsoever he will.

DA-4:26 And whereas they commanded to leave the stump of the
tree roots; thy

kingdom shall be sure unto thee, after that thou shalt have
known that the

heavens do rule.

DA-4:27 Wherefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable unto
thee, and break

off thy sins by righteousness, and thine iniquities by showing
mercy to the

poor; if it may be a lengthening of thy tranquillity.

DA-4:28 All this came upon the king Nebuchadnezzar.

DA-4:29 At the end of twelve months he walked in the palace of
the kingdom of

Babylon.

DA-4:30 The king spake, and said, Is not this great Babylon,
that I have

built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power, and
for the

honour of my majesty?

DA-4:31 While the word [was] in the king's mouth, there fell a
voice from

heaven, [saying], O king Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken;
The kingdom is

departed from thee.

DA-4:32 And they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling
[shall be] with

the beasts of the field: they shall make thee to eat grass as
oxen, and seven

times shall pass over thee, until thou know that the most High
ruleth in the

kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.

DA-4:33 The same hour was the thing fulfilled upon
Nebuchadnezzar: and he was

driven from men, and did eat grass as oxen, and his body was wet
with the dew

of heaven, till his hairs were grown like eagles' [feathers],
and his nails

like birds' [claws].

DA-4:34 And at the end of the days I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up
mine eyes unto

heaven, and mine understanding returned unto me, and I blessed
the most High,

and I praised and honoured him that liveth for ever, whose
dominion [is] an

everlasting dominion, and his kingdom [is] from generation to
generation:

DA-4:35 And all the inhabitants of the earth [are] reputed as
nothing: and he

doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and [among]
the inhabitants

of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What
doest thou?

DA-4:36 At the same time my reason returned unto me; and for
the glory of my

kingdom, mine honour and brightness returned unto me; and my
counsellors and

my lords sought unto me; and I was established in my kingdom,
and excellent

majesty was added unto me.

DA-4:37 Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honour the
King of heaven,

all whose works [are] truth, and his ways judgment: and those
that walk in

pride he is able to abase.

==== <DA5>

DA-5:1 Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of
his lords, and

drank wine before the thousand.

DA-5:2 Belshazzar, whiles he tasted the wine, commanded to
bring the golden

and silver vessels which his father Nebuchadnezzar had taken out
of the temple

which [was] in Jerusalem; that the king, and his princes, his
wives, and his

concubines, might drink therein.

DA-5:3 Then they brought the golden vessels that were taken out
of the temple

of the house of God which [was] at Jerusalem; and the king, and
his princes,

his wives, and his concubines, drank in them.

DA-5:4 They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of
silver, of

brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone.

DA-5:5 In the same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand, and
wrote over

against the candlestick upon the plaster of the wall of the
king's palace: and

the king saw the part of the hand that wrote.

DA-5:6 Then the king's countenance was changed, and his
thoughts troubled

him, so that the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees
smote one

against another.

DA-5:7 The king cried aloud to bring in the astrologers, the
Chaldeans, and

the soothsayers. [And] the king spake, and said to the wise
[men] of Babylon,

Whosoever shall read this writing, and show me the
interpretation thereof,

shall be clothed with scarlet, and [have] a chain of gold about
his neck, and

shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.

DA-5:8 Then came in all the king's wise [men]: but they could
not read the

writing, nor make known to the king the interpretation thereof.

DA-5:9 Then was king Belshazzar greatly troubled, and his
countenance was

changed in him, and his lords were astonied.

DA-5:10 [Now] the queen by reason of the words of the king and
his lords came

into the banquet house: [and] the queen spake and said, O king,
live for ever:

let not thy thoughts trouble thee, nor let thy countenance be
changed:

DA-5:11 There is a man in thy kingdom, in whom [is] the spirit
of the holy

gods; and in the days of thy father light and understanding and
wisdom, like

the wisdom of the gods, was found in him; whom the king
Nebuchadnezzar thy

father, the king, [I say], thy father, made master of the
magicians,

astrologers, Chaldeans, [and] soothsayers;

DA-5:12 Forasmuch as an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and
understanding,

interpreting of dreams, and showing of hard sentences, and
dissolving of

doubts, were found in the same Daniel, whom the king named
Belteshazzar: now

let Daniel be called, and he will show the interpretation.

DA-5:13 Then was Daniel brought in before the king. [And] the
king spake and

said unto Daniel, [Art] thou that Daniel, which [art] of the
children of the

captivity of Judah, whom the king my father brought out of Jewry?

DA-5:14 I have even heard of thee, that the spirit of the gods
[is] in thee,

and [that] light and understanding and excellent wisdom is found
in thee.

DA-5:15 And now the wise [men], the astrologers, have been
brought in before

me, that they should read this writing, and make known unto me
the

interpretation thereof: but they could not show the
interpretation of the

thing:

DA-5:16 And I have heard of thee, that thou canst make
interpretations, and

dissolve doubts: now if thou canst read the writing, and make
known to me the

interpretation thereof, thou shalt be clothed with scarlet, and
[have] a chain

of gold about thy neck, and shalt be the third ruler in the
kingdom.

DA-5:17 Then Daniel answered and said before the king, Let thy
gifts be to

thyself, and give thy rewards to another; yet I will read the
writing unto the

king, and make known to him the interpretation.

DA-5:18 O thou king, the most high God gave Nebuchadnezzar thy
father a

kingdom, and majesty, and glory, and honour:

DA-5:19 And for the majesty that he gave him, all people,
nations, and

languages, trembled and feared before him: whom he would he slew;
and whom he

would he kept alive; and whom he would he set up; and whom he
would he put

down.

DA-5:20 But when his heart was lifted up, and his mind hardened
in pride, he

was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from
him:

DA-5:21 And he was driven from the sons of men; and his heart
was made like

the beasts, and his dwelling [was] with the wild asses: they fed
him with

grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven;
till he knew

that the most high God ruled in the kingdom of men, and [that]
he appointeth

over it whomsoever he will.

DA-5:22 And thou his son, O Belshazzar, hast not humbled thine
heart, though

thou knewest all this;

DA-5:23 But hast lifted up thyself against the Lord of heaven;
and they have

brought the vessels of his house before thee, and thou, and thy
lords, thy

wives, and thy concubines, have drunk wine in them; and thou
hast praised the

gods of silver, and gold, of brass, iron, wood, and stone, which
see not, nor

hear, nor know: and the God in whose hand thy breath [is], and
whose [are] all

thy ways, hast thou not glorified:

DA-5:24 Then was the part of the hand sent from him; and this
writing was

written.

DA-5:25 And this [is] the writing that was written, MENE, MENE,
TEKEL,

UPHARSIN.

DA-5:26 This [is] the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God
hath numbered

thy kingdom, and finished it.

DA-5:27 TEKEL; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found
wanting.

DA-5:28 PERES; Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes
and Persians.

DA-5:29 Then commanded Belshazzar, and they clothed Daniel with
scarlet, and

[put] a chain of gold about his neck, and made a proclamation
concerning him,

that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom.

DA-5:30 In that night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans
slain.

DA-5:31 And Darius the Median took the kingdom, [being] about
threescore and

two years old.

==== <DA6>

DA-6:1 It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom an hundred and
twenty

princes, which should be over the whole kingdom;

DA-6:2 And over these three presidents; of whom Daniel [was]
first: that the

princes might give accounts unto them, and the king should have
no damage.

DA-6:3 Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and
princes,

because an excellent spirit [was] in him; and the king thought
to set him over

the whole realm.

DA-6:4 Then the presidents and princes sought to find occasion
against Daniel

concerning the kingdom; but they could find none occasion nor
fault; forasmuch

as he [was] faithful, neither was there any error or fault found
in him.

DA-6:5 Then said these men, We shall not find any occasion
against this

Daniel, except we find [it] against him concerning the law of
his God.

DA-6:6 Then these presidents and princes assembled together to
the king, and

said thus unto him, King Darius, live for ever.

DA-6:7 All the presidents of the kingdom, the governors, and
the princes, the

counsellors, and the captains, have consulted together to
establish a royal

statute, and to make a firm decree, that whosoever shall ask a
petition of any

God or man for thirty days, save of thee, O king, he shall be
cast into the

den of lions.

DA-6:8 Now, O king, establish the decree, and sign the writing,
that it be

not changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians,
which altereth

not.

DA-6:9 Wherefore king Darius signed the writing and the decree.

DA-6:10 Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he
went into his

house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward
Jerusalem, he kneeled

upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks
before his God,

as he did aforetime.

DA-6:11 Then these men assembled, and found Daniel praying and
making

supplication before his God.

DA-6:12 Then they came near, and spake before the king
concerning the king's

decree; Hast thou not signed a decree, that every man that shall
ask [a

petition] of any God or man within thirty days, save of thee, O
king, shall be

cast into the den of lions? The king answered and said, The
thing [is] true,

according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth
not.

DA-6:13 Then answered they and said before the king, That
Daniel, which [is]

of the children of the captivity of Judah, regardeth not thee, O
king, nor the

decree that thou hast signed, but maketh his petition three
times a day.

DA-6:14 Then the king, when he heard [these] words, was sore
displeased with

himself, and set [his] heart on Daniel to deliver him: and he
laboured till

the going down of the sun to deliver him.

DA-6:15 Then these men assembled unto the king, and said unto
the king, Know,

O king, that the law of the Medes and Persians [is], That no
decree nor

statute which the king establisheth may be changed.

DA-6:16 Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and
cast [him] into

the den of lions. [Now] the king spake and said unto Daniel, Thy
God whom thou

servest continually, he will deliver thee.

DA-6:17 And a stone was brought, and laid upon the mouth of the
den; and the

king sealed it with his own signet, and with the signet of his
lords; that the

purpose might not be changed concerning Daniel.

DA-6:18 Then the king went to his palace, and passed the night
fasting:

neither were instruments of music brought before him: and his
sleep went from

him.

DA-6:19 Then the king arose very early in the morning, and went
in haste unto

the den of lions.

DA-6:20 And when he came to the den, he cried with a lamentable
voice unto

Daniel: [and] the king spake and said to Daniel, O Daniel,
servant of the

living God, is thy God, whom thou servest continually, able to
deliver thee

from the lions?

DA-6:21 Then said Daniel unto the king, O king, live for ever.

DA-6:22 My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions'
mouths, that

they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him innocency was
found in me; and

also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt.

DA-6:23 Then was the king exceeding glad for him, and commanded
that they

should take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out
of the den,

and no manner of hurt was found upon him, because he believed in
his God.

DA-6:24 And the king commanded, and they brought those men
which had accused

Daniel, and they cast [them] into the den of lions, them, their
children, and

their wives; and the lions had the mastery of them, and brake
all their bones

in pieces or ever they came at the bottom of the den.

DA-6:25 Then king Darius wrote unto all people, nations, and
languages, that

dwell in all the earth; Peace be multiplied unto you.

DA-6:26 I make a decree, That in every dominion of my kingdom
men tremble and

fear before the God of Daniel: for he [is] the living God, and
stedfast for

ever, and his kingdom [that] which shall not be destroyed, and
his dominion

[shall be even] unto the end.

DA-6:27 He delivereth and rescueth, and he worketh signs and
wonders in

heaven and in earth, who hath delivered Daniel from the power of
the lions.

DA-6:28 So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in
the reign of

Cyrus the Persian.

==== <DA7>

DA-7:1 In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel
had a dream and

visions of his head upon his bed: then he wrote the dream, [and]
told the sum

of the matters.

DA-7:2 Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and,
behold, the

four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea.

DA-7:3 And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one
from another.

DA-7:4 The first [was] like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I
beheld till the

wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth,
and made

stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it.

DA-7:5 And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and
it raised up

itself on one side, and [it had] three ribs in the mouth of it
between the

teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much
flesh.

DA-7:6 After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard,
which had upon

the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four
heads; and

dominion was given to it.

DA-7:7 After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a
fourth beast,

dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great
iron teeth: it

devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the
feet of it: and

it [was] diverse from all the beasts that [were] before it; and
it had ten

horns.

DA-7:8 I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among
them another

little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns
plucked up by the

roots: and, behold, in this horn [were] eyes like the eyes of
man, and a mouth

speaking great things.

DA-7:9 I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the
Ancient of days did

sit, whose garment [was] white as snow, and the hair of his head
like the pure

wool: his throne [was like] the fiery flame, [and] his wheels
[as] burning

fire.

DA-7:10 A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him:
thousand

thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten
thousand stood

before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.

DA-7:11 I beheld then because of the voice of the great words
which the horn

spake: I beheld [even] till the beast was slain, and his body
destroyed, and

given to the burning flame.

DA-7:12 As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their
dominion taken

away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time.

DA-7:13 I saw in the night visions, and, behold, [one] like the
Son of man

came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days,
and they

brought him near before him.

DA-7:14 And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a
kingdom, that all

people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion
[is] an

everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom
[that] which

shall not be destroyed.

DA-7:15 I Daniel was grieved in my spirit in the midst of [my]
body, and the

visions of my head troubled me.

DA-7:16 I came near unto one of them that stood by, and asked
him the truth

of all this. So he told me, and made me know the interpretation
of the things.



DA-7:17 These great beasts, which are four, [are] four kings,
[which] shall

arise out of the earth.

DA-7:18 But the saints of the most High shall take the kingdom,
and possess

the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever.

DA-7:19 Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which
was diverse

from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth [were of]
iron, and his

nails [of] brass; [which] devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped
the residue

with his feet;

DA-7:20 And of the ten horns that [were] in his head, and [of]
the other

which came up, and before whom three fell; even [of] that horn
that had eyes,

and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look [was] more
stout than his

fellows.

DA-7:21 I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints,
and prevailed

against them;

DA-7:22 Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given
to the saints

of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed
the kingdom.

DA-7:23 Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth
kingdom upon

earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall
devour the whole

earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.

DA-7:24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom [are] ten kings
[that] shall

arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be
diverse from the

first, and he shall subdue three kings.

DA-7:25 And he shall speak [great] words against the most High,
and shall

wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times
and laws: and

they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the
dividing of

time.

DA-7:26 But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away
his dominion, to

consume and to destroy [it] unto the end.

DA-7:27 And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the
kingdom under

the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of
the most High,

whose kingdom [is] an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions
shall serve and

obey him.

DA-7:28 Hitherto [is] the end of the matter. As for me Daniel,
my cogitations

much troubled me, and my countenance changed in me: but I kept
the matter in

my heart.

==== <DA8>

DA-8:1 In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar a
vision appeared

unto me, [even unto] me Daniel, after that which appeared unto
me at the

first.

DA-8:2 And I saw in a vision; and it came to pass, when I saw,
that I [was]

at Shushan [in] the palace, which [is] in the province of Elam;
and I saw in a

vision, and I was by the river of Ulai.

DA-8:3 Then I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there
stood before

the river a ram which had [two] horns: and the [two] horns
[were] high; but

one [was] higher than the other, and the higher came up last.

DA-8:4 I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and
southward; so that

no beasts might stand before him, neither [was there any] that
could deliver

out of his hand; but he did according to his will, and became
great.

DA-8:5 And as I was considering, behold, an he goat came from
the west on the

face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground: and the
goat [had] a

notable horn between his eyes.

DA-8:6 And he came to the ram that had [two] horns, which I had
seen standing

before the river, and ran unto him in the fury of his power.

DA-8:7 And I saw him come close unto the ram, and he was moved
with choler

against him, and smote the ram, and brake his two horns: and
there was no

power in the ram to stand before him, but he cast him down to
the ground, and

stamped upon him: and there was none that could deliver the ram
out of his

hand.

DA-8:8 Therefore the he goat waxed very great: and when he was
strong, the

great horn was broken; and for it came up four notable ones
toward the four

winds of heaven.

DA-8:9 And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which
waxed exceeding

great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the
pleasant [land].

DA-8:10 And it waxed great, [even] to the host of heaven; and
it cast down

[some] of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped
upon them.

DA-8:11 Yea, he magnified [himself] even to the prince of the
host, and by

him the daily [sacrifice] was taken away, and the place of his
sanctuary was

cast down.

DA-8:12 And an host was given [him] against the daily
[sacrifice] by reason

of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and
it practiced,

and prospered.

DA-8:13 Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said
unto that

certain [saint] which spake, How long [shall be] the vision
[concerning] the

daily [sacrifice], and the transgression of desolation, to give
both the

sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?

DA-8:14 And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three
hundred days; then

shall the sanctuary be cleansed.

DA-8:15 And it came to pass, when I, [even] I Daniel, had seen
the vision,

and sought for the meaning, then, behold, there stood before me
as the

appearance of a man.

DA-8:16 And I heard a man's voice between [the banks of] Ulai,
which called,

and said, Gabriel, make this [man] to understand the vision.

DA-8:17 So he came near where I stood: and when he came, I was
afraid, and

fell upon my face: but he said unto me, Understand, O son of man:
for at the

time of the end [shall be] the vision.

DA-8:18 Now as he was speaking with me, I was in a deep sleep
on my face

toward the ground: but he touched me, and set me upright.

DA-8:19 And he said, Behold, I will make thee know what shall
be in the last

end of the indignation: for at the time appointed the end [shall
be].

DA-8:20 The ram which thou sawest having [two] horns [are] the
kings of Media

and Persia.

DA-8:21 And the rough goat [is] the king of Grecia: and the
great horn that

[is] between his eyes [is] the first king.

DA-8:22 Now that being broken, whereas four stood up for it,
four kingdoms

shall stand up out of the nation, but not in his power.

DA-8:23 And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the
transgressors are

come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and
understanding dark

sentences, shall stand up.

DA-8:24 And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power:
and he shall

destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practice, and shall
destroy the

mighty and the holy people.

DA-8:25 And through his policy also he shall cause craft to
prosper in his

hand; and he shall magnify [himself] in his heart, and by peace
shall destroy

many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but
he shall be

broken without hand.

DA-8:26 And the vision of the evening and the morning which was
told [is]

true: wherefore shut thou up the vision; for it [shall be] for
many days.

DA-8:27 And I Daniel fainted, and was sick [certain] days;
afterward I rose

up, and did the king's business; and I was astonished at the
vision, but none

understood [it].

==== <DA9>

DA-9:1 In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus, of the
seed of the

Medes, which was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans;

DA-9:2 In the first year of his reign I Daniel understood by
books the number

of the years, whereof the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the
prophet, that

he would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of
Jerusalem.

DA-9:3 And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer
and

supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes:

DA-9:4 And I prayed unto the LORD my God, and made my
confession, and said, O

Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant and mercy
to them that

love him, and to them that keep his commandments;

DA-9:5 We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have
done wickedly,

and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and from
thy judgments:



DA-9:6 Neither have we hearkened unto thy servants the prophets,
which spake

in thy name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to
all the people

of the land.

DA-9:7 O Lord, righteousness [belongeth] unto thee, but unto us
confusion of

faces, as at this day; to the men of Judah, and to the
inhabitants of

Jerusalem, and unto all Israel, [that are] near, and [that are]
far off,

through all the countries whither thou hast driven them, because
of their

trespass that they have trespassed against thee.

DA-9:8 O Lord, to us [belongeth] confusion of face, to our
kings, to our

princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against thee.

DA-9:9 To the Lord our God [belong] mercies and forgivenesses,
though we have

rebelled against him;

DA-9:10 Neither have we obeyed the voice of the LORD our God,
to walk in his

laws, which he set before us by his servants the prophets.

DA-9:11 Yea, all Israel have transgressed thy law, even by
departing, that

they might not obey thy voice; therefore the curse is poured
upon us, and the

oath that [is] written in the law of Moses the servant of God,
because we have

sinned against him.

DA-9:12 And he hath confirmed his words, which he spake against
us, and

against our judges that judged us, by bringing upon us a great
evil: for under

the whole heaven hath not been done as hath been done upon
Jerusalem.

DA-9:13 As [it is] written in the law of Moses, all this evil
is come upon

us: yet made we not our prayer before the LORD our God, that we
might turn

from our iniquities, and understand thy truth.

DA-9:14 Therefore hath the LORD watched upon the evil, and
brought it upon

us: for the LORD our God [is] righteous in all his works which
he doeth: for

we obeyed not his voice.

DA-9:15 And now, O Lord our God, that hast brought thy people
forth out of

the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and hast gotten thee
renown, as at this

day; we have sinned, we have done wickedly.

DA-9:16 O Lord, according to all thy righteousness, I beseech
thee, let thine

anger and thy fury be turned away from thy city Jerusalem, thy
holy mountain:

because for our sins, and for the iniquities of our fathers,
Jerusalem and thy

people [are become] a reproach to all [that are] about us.

DA-9:17 Now therefore, O our God, hear the prayer of thy
servant, and his

supplications, and cause thy face to shine upon thy sanctuary
that is

desolate, for the Lord's sake.

DA-9:18 O my God, incline thine ear, and hear; open thine eyes,
and behold

our desolations, and the city which is called by thy name: for
we do not

present our supplications before thee for our righteousnesses,
but for thy

great mercies.

DA-9:19 O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive; O Lord, hearken and do;
defer not, for

thine own sake, O my God: for thy city and thy people are called
by thy name.

DA-9:20 And whiles I [was] speaking, and praying, and
confessing my sin and

the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication
before the LORD my

God for the holy mountain of my God;

DA-9:21 Yea, whiles I [was] speaking in prayer, even the man
Gabriel, whom I

had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly
swiftly, touched

me about the time of the evening oblation.

DA-9:22 And he informed [me], and talked with me, and said, O
Daniel, I am

now come forth to give thee skill and understanding.

DA-9:23 At the beginning of thy supplications the commandment
came forth, and

I am come to show [thee]; for thou [art] greatly beloved:
therefore understand

the matter, and consider the vision.

DA-9:24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon
thy holy city,

to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to
make

reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting
righteousness, and to

seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.

DA-9:25 Know therefore and understand, [that] from the going
forth of the

commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah
the Prince

[shall be] seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street
shall be

built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.

DA-9:26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut
off, but not

for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall
destroy the

city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof [shall be] with a
flood, and unto

the end of the war desolations are determined.

DA-9:27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one
week: and in the

midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation
to cease, and

for the overspreading of abominations he shall make [it]
desolate, even until

the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the
desolate.

==== <DA10>

DA-10:1 In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a thing was
revealed unto

Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the thing [was]
true, but the

time appointed [was] long: and he understood the thing, and had
understanding

of the vision.

DA-10:2 In those days I Daniel was mourning three full weeks.

DA-10:3 I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine in
my mouth,

neither did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were
fulfilled.

DA-10:4 And in the four and twentieth day of the first month,
as I was by the

side of the great river, which [is] Hiddekel;

DA-10:5 Then I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a
certain man

clothed in linen, whose loins [were] girded with fine gold of
Uphaz:

DA-10:6 His body also [was] like the beryl, and his face as the
appearance of

lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his
feet like in

colour to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the
voice of a

multitude.

DA-10:7 And I Daniel alone saw the vision: for the men that
were with me saw

not the vision; but a great quaking fell upon them, so that they
fled to hide

themselves.

DA-10:8 Therefore I was left alone, and saw this great vision,
and there

remained no strength in me: for my comeliness was turned in me
into

corruption, and I retained no strength.

DA-10:9 Yet heard I the voice of his words: and when I heard
the voice of his

words, then was I in a deep sleep on my face, and my face toward
the ground.

DA-10:10 And, behold, an hand touched me, which set me upon my
knees and

[upon] the palms of my hands.

DA-10:11 And he said unto me, O Daniel, a man greatly beloved,
understand the

words that I speak unto thee, and stand upright: for unto thee
am I now sent.

And when he had spoken this word unto me, I stood trembling.

DA-10:12 Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the
first day that

thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself
before thy

God, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words.

DA-10:13 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me
one and twenty

days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help
me; and I

remained there with the kings of Persia.

DA-10:14 Now I am come to make thee understand what shall
befall thy people

in the latter days: for yet the vision [is] for [many] days.

DA-10:15 And when he had spoken such words unto me, I set my
face toward the

ground, and I became dumb.

DA-10:16 And, behold, [one] like the similitude of the sons of
men touched my

lips: then I opened my mouth, and spake, and said unto him that
stood before

me, O my lord, by the vision my sorrows are turned upon me, and
I have

retained no strength.

DA-10:17 For how can the servant of this my lord talk with this
my lord? for

as for me, straightway there remained no strength in me, neither
is there

breath left in me.

DA-10:18 Then there came again and touched me [one] like the
appearance of a

man, and he strengthened me,

DA-10:19 And said, O man greatly beloved, fear not: peace [be]
unto thee, be

strong, yea, be strong. And when he had spoken unto me, I was
strengthened,

and said, Let my lord speak; for thou hast strengthened me.

DA-10:20 Then said he, Knowest thou wherefore I come unto thee?
and now will

I return to fight with the prince of Persia: and when I am gone
forth, lo, the

prince of Grecia shall come.

DA-10:21 But I will show thee that which is noted in the
scripture of truth:

and [there is] none that holdeth with me in these things, but
Michael your

prince.

==== <DA11>

DA-11:1 Also I in the first year of Darius the Mede, [even] I,
stood to

confirm and to strengthen him.

DA-11:2 And now will I show thee the truth. Behold, there shall
stand up yet

three kings in Persia; and the fourth shall be far richer than
[they] all: and

by his strength through his riches he shall stir up all against
the realm of

Grecia.

DA-11:3 And a mighty king shall stand up, that shall rule with
great

dominion, and do according to his will.

DA-11:4 And when he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken,
and shall be

divided toward the four winds of heaven; and not to his
posterity, nor

according to his dominion which he ruled: for his kingdom shall
be plucked up,

even for others beside those.

DA-11:5 And the king of the south shall be strong, and [one] of
his princes;

and he shall be strong above him, and have dominion; his
dominion [shall be] a

great dominion.

DA-11:6 And in the end of years they shall join themselves
together; for the

king's daughter of the south shall come to the king of the north
to make an

agreement: but she shall not retain the power of the arm;
neither shall he

stand, nor his arm: but she shall be given up, and they that
brought her, and

he that begat her, and he that strengthened her in [these] times.

DA-11:7 But out of a branch of her roots shall [one] stand up
in his estate,

which shall come with an army, and shall enter into the fortress
of the king

of the north, and shall deal against them, and shall prevail:

DA-11:8 And shall also carry captives into Egypt their gods,
with their

princes, [and] with their precious vessels of silver and of gold;
and he shall

continue [more] years than the king of the north.

DA-11:9 So the king of the south shall come into [his] kingdom,
and shall

return into his own land.

DA-11:10 But his sons shall be stirred up, and shall assemble a
multitude of

great forces: and [one] shall certainly come, and overflow, and
pass through:

then shall he return, and be stirred up, [even] to his fortress.

DA-11:11 And the king of the south shall be moved with choler,
and shall come

forth and fight with him, [even] with the king of the north: and
he shall set

forth a great multitude; but the multitude shall be given into
his hand.

DA-11:12 [And] when he hath taken away the multitude, his heart
shall be

lifted up; and he shall cast down [many] ten thousands: but he
shall not be

strengthened [by it].

DA-11:13 For the king of the north shall return, and shall set
forth a

multitude greater than the former, and shall certainly come
after certain

years with a great army and with much riches.

DA-11:14 And in those times there shall many stand up against
the king of the

south: also the robbers of thy people shall exalt themselves to
establish the

vision; but they shall fall.

DA-11:15 So the king of the north shall come, and cast up a
mount, and take

the most fenced cities: and the arms of the south shall not
withstand, neither

his chosen people, neither [shall there be any] strength to
withstand.

DA-11:16 But he that cometh against him shall do according to
his own will,

and none shall stand before him: and he shall stand in the
glorious land,

which by his hand shall be consumed.

DA-11:17 He shall also set his face to enter with the strength
of his whole

kingdom, and upright ones with him; thus shall he do: and he
shall give him

the daughter of women, corrupting her: but she shall not stand
[on his side],

neither be for him.

DA-11:18 After this shall he turn his face unto the isles, and
shall take

many: but a prince for his own behalf shall cause the reproach
offered by him

to cease; without his own reproach he shall cause [it] to turn
upon him.

DA-11:19 Then he shall turn his face toward the fort of his own
land: but he

shall stumble and fall, and not be found.

DA-11:20 Then shall stand up in his estate a raiser of taxes
[in] the glory

of the kingdom: but within few days he shall be destroyed,
neither in anger,

nor in battle.

DA-11:21 And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to
whom they shall

not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in
peaceably, and obtain

the kingdom by flatteries.

DA-11:22 And with the arms of a flood shall they be overflown
from before

him, and shall be broken; yea, also the prince of the covenant.

DA-11:23 And after the league [made] with him he shall work
deceitfully: for

he shall come up, and shall become strong with a small people.

DA-11:24 He shall enter peaceably even upon the fattest places
of the

province; and he shall do [that] which his fathers have not done,
nor his

fathers' fathers; he shall scatter among them the prey, and
spoil, and riches:

[yea], and he shall forecast his devices against the strong
holds, even for a

time.

DA-11:25 And he shall stir up his power and his courage against
the king of

the south with a great army; and the king of the south shall be
stirred up to

battle with a very great and mighty army; but he shall not stand:
for they

shall forecast devices against him.

DA-11:26 Yea, they that feed of the portion of his meat shall
destroy him,

and his army shall overflow: and many shall fall down slain.

DA-11:27 And both these kings' hearts [shall be] to do mischief,
and they

shall speak lies at one table; but it shall not prosper: for yet
the end

[shall be] at the time appointed.

DA-11:28 Then shall he return into his land with great riches;
and his heart

[shall be] against the holy covenant; and he shall do [exploits],
and return

to his own land.

DA-11:29 At the time appointed he shall return, and come toward
the south;

but it shall not be as the former, or as the latter.

DA-11:30 For the ships of Chittim shall come against him:
therefore he shall

be grieved, and return, and have indignation against the holy
covenant: so

shall he do; he shall even return, and have intelligence with
them that

forsake the holy covenant.

DA-11:31 And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall
pollute the

sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily [sacrifice],
and they

shall place the abomination that maketh desolate.

DA-11:32 And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he
corrupt by

flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be
strong, and do

[exploits].

DA-11:33 And they that understand among the people shall
instruct many: yet

they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by
spoil, [many]

days.

DA-11:34 Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a
little help:

but many shall cleave to them with flatteries.

DA-11:35 And [some] of them of understanding shall fall, to try
them, and to

purge, and to make [them] white, [even] to the time of the end:
because [it

is] yet for a time appointed.

DA-11:36 And the king shall do according to his will; and he
shall exalt

himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak
marvellous

things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the
indignation be

accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done.

DA-11:37 Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor
the desire of

women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above
all.

DA-11:38 But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces:
and a god whom

his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and
with precious

stones, and pleasant things.

DA-11:39 Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a
strange god, whom

he shall acknowledge [and] increase with glory: and he shall
cause them to

rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain.

DA-11:40 And at the time of the end shall the king of the south
push at him:

and the king of the north shall come against him like a
whirlwind, with

chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall
enter into the

countries, and shall overflow and pass over.

DA-11:41 He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many
[countries]

shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand,
[even] Edom, and

Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.

DA-11:42 He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the
countries: and the

land of Egypt shall not escape.

DA-11:43 But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and
of silver,

and over all the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans and
the Ethiopians

[shall be] at his steps.

DA-11:44 But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall
trouble him:

therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and
utterly to make

away many.

DA-11:45 And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace
between the seas in

the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and
none shall help

him.

==== <DA12>

DA-12:1 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great
prince which

standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a
time of trouble,

such as never was since there was a nation [even] to that same
time: and at

that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be
found written

in the book.

DA-12:2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth
shall awake,

some to everlasting life, and some to shame [and] everlasting
contempt.

DA-12:3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of
the firmament;

and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever
and ever.

DA-12:4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the
book, [even] to

the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge
shall be

increased.

DA-12:5 Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood other
two, the one on

this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side
of the bank of

the river.

DA-12:6 And [one] said to the man clothed in linen, which [was]
upon the

waters of the river, How long [shall it be to] the end of these
wonders?

DA-12:7 And I heard the man clothed in linen, which [was] upon
the waters of

the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto
heaven, and

sware by him that liveth for ever that [it shall be] for a time,
times, and an

half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power
of the holy

people, all these [things] shall be finished.

DA-12:8 And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my
Lord, what

[shall be] the end of these [things]?

DA-12:9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words [are]
closed up and

sealed till the time of the end.

DA-12:10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but
the wicked

shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but
the wise shall

understand.

DA-12:11 And from the time [that] the daily [sacrifice] shall
be taken away,

and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, [there shall
be] a thousand

two hundred and ninety days.

DA-12:12 Blessed [is] he that waiteth, and cometh to the
thousand three

hundred and five and thirty days.

DA-12:13 But go thou thy way till the end [be]: for thou shalt
rest, and

stand in thy lot at the end of the days.
