44In the daysH3118 of thoseH581 kingsH4430 the 1GodH426 of heavenH8065 will 2setH6966 up a 3kingdomH4437 whichH1768 will neverH5957H3809 be destroyedH2255, and that kingdomH4437 will not be 4leftH7662 for anotherH312 peopleH5972; it will 5crushH1855 and putH5487 an endH5487 to allH3606 theseH459 kingdomsH4437, but it will itselfH1932 endureH6966 foreverH5957. 45InasmuchH3606H6903H1768 as you sawH2370 that a 6stoneH69 was cutH1505 out of the mountainH2906 withoutH3809 handsH3028 and that it crushedH1855 the ironH6523, the bronzeH5174, the clayH2635, the silverH3702 and the goldH1722, the 7greatH7229 GodH426 has madeH3046 knownH3046 to the kingH4430 whatH4101 8will takeH1934 placeH1934 9in the futureH311; so the dreamH2493 is trueH3330 and its interpretationH6591 is trustworthyH540.”

46ThenH116 KingH4430 NebuchadnezzarH5020 fellH5308 on his faceH600 and didH5457 10homageH5457 to DanielH1841, and gaveH560 ordersH560 to presentH5260 to him an offeringH4504 and 1112fragrantH5208 incenseH5208. 47The kingH4430 answeredH6032 DanielH1841 and saidH560, “SurelyH4481H7187H1768 13your GodH426 is a 14GodH426 of godsH426 and a LordH4756 of kingsH4430 and a 15revealerH1541 of mysteriesH7328, sinceH1768 you have beenH3202 ableH3202 to revealH1541 thisH1836 mysteryH7328.” 48ThenH116 the kingH4430 1617promotedH7236 DanielH1841 and gaveH3052 him manyH7690 greatH7229 giftsH4978, and he madeH7981 him rulerH7981 overH5922 the wholeH3606 18provinceH4083 of BabylonH895 and chiefH7229 19prefectH5460 overH5922 allH3606 the wiseH2445 menH2445 of BabylonH895. 49And DanielH1841 madeH1156 requestH1156 of the kingH4430, and he 20appointedH4483 21ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336 and Abed-negoH5665 overH5922 the administrationH5673 of the provinceH4083 of BabylonH895, while DanielH1841 was at the king’sH4430 2223courtH8651.
