Daniel 4:17-19
17This sentenceH6600 is by the decreeH1510 of the angelicH5894 watchersH5894, And the decisionH7595 is a commandH3983 of the holyH6922 onesH6922, In orderH5705H1701 that the livingH2417 may 1knowH3046 That the MostH5943 HighH5943 is rulerH7990 over the realmH4437 of mankindH606, And 2He grantsH5415 it to whomeverH1768H4479 He wishesH6634 And setsH6966 overH5922 it the 3lowliestH8215 of peopleH606.” 18ThisH1836 is the dreamH2493 that I, KingH4430 NebuchadnezzarH5020, have seenH2370. Now you, BelteshazzarH1096, tellH560 me its interpretationH6591, sinceH6903H1768 noneH3606H3809 of the 4wiseH2445 menH2445 of my kingdomH4437 is ableH3202 to makeH3046 knownH3046 to me the interpretationH6591; but you are ableH3546, becauseH1768 a 5spiritH7308 of the holyH6922 godsH426 is in you.’
19“ThenH116 DanielH1841, whoseH1768 nameH8036 is BelteshazzarH1096, was appalledH8075 for a whileH8160 as his 6thoughtsH7476 alarmedH927 him. The kingH4430 respondedH6032 and saidH560, ‘BelteshazzarH1096, do not 7let the dreamH2493 or its interpretationH6591 alarmH927 you.’ BelteshazzarH1096 repliedH6032, ‘8My lordH4756, if only the dreamH2493 applied to those who hateH8131 you, and its interpretationH6591 to 9your adversariesH6146!
