Daniel 4:19-27
19ForH116 aH2298 timeH8160, DanielH1841, whoH1768 was also known asH8036 BelteshazzarH1096, was perplexedH8075, and his thoughtsH7476 alarmed himH927.
So the kingH4430H560 saidH6032, “BelteshazzarH1096, do notH409 let the dreamH2493 or its interpretationH6591 alarm youH927.”
“My lordH4756H560,” repliedH6032 BelteshazzarH1096, “may the dreamH2493 apply to those who hate youH8131, and its interpretationH6591 to your enemiesH6146!
20The treeH363 you sawH2370 thatH1768 grew largeH7236 and strongH8631, whose topH7314 reachedH4291 the skyH8065 and was visibleH2379 to allH3606 the earthH772, 21whose foliageH6074 was beautifulH8209 and whose fruitH4 was abundantH7690, providing foodH4203 for allH3606, under whichH8460 the beastsH2423 of the fieldH1251 livedH1753, and in whose branchesH6056 the birdsH6853 of the airH8065 nestedH7932— 22youH607, O kingH4430, areH1932H1768 that tree! For you have become greatH7236 and strongH8631; your greatnessH7238 has grownH7236 to reachH4291 the skyH8065, and your dominionH7985 extends to the endsH5491 of the earthH772.
23AndH1768 you, O kingH4430, sawH2370 a watcherH5894, a holy oneH6922, coming downH5182 fromH4481 heavenH8065 and sayingH560:
24ThisH1836 is the interpretationH6591, O kingH4430, and this is the decreeH1510 that the Most HighH5943H1932 has issuedH4291 againstH5922 my lordH4756 the kingH4430:
25You will be driven awayH2957 fromH4481 mankindH606, and your dwellingH4070 will beH1934 withH5974 the beastsH2423 of the fieldH1251. You will feed onH2939 grassH6211 like an oxH8450 and be drenchedH6647 with the dewH2920 of heavenH8065, and sevenH7655 timesH5732 shall passH2499 you byH5922, untilH5705H1768 you acknowledgeH3046 thatH1768 the Most HighH5943 rulesH7990 over the kingdomH4437 of mankindH606 and gives itH5415 to whomH4479H1768 He wishesH6634.
26As forH1768 the commandH560 to leaveH7662 the stumpH6136 ofH1768 the treeH363 with its rootsH8330, your kingdomH4437 will be restoredH7011 to youH4481 as soon asH1768 you acknowledgeH3046 thatH1768 HeavenH8065 rulesH7990. 27ThereforeH2006, may my adviceH4431 be pleasingH8232 to youH5922, O kingH4430. Break awayH6562 from your sinsH2408 by doing what is rightH6665, and from your iniquitiesH5758 by showing mercyH2604 to the oppressedH6033. PerhapsH2006 there will beH1934 an extensionH754 of your prosperityH7963.”
