Daniel 2:21-38

21And he changeth the timesH2166 and the seasons: he removeth kingsH4430, and setteth up kingsH4430: he giveth wisdomH2452 unto the wiseH2445, and knowledgeH4486 to them that knowH3046 understandingH999:

22he revealeth the deepH5994 and secret things: he knoweth whatH4101 is in the darknessH2816, and the light dwelleth with him.

23I thank thee, and praiseH7624 thee, O thou GodH426 of my fathersH2, who hast givenH3052 meH3052 wisdomH2452 and might, and hast nowH3705 madeH3046 knownH3046 unto meH3052 whatH1768 weH1768 desired of thee: for thou hast madeH3046 knownH3046 unto us the king’sH4430 matterH4406.

24Therefore DanielH1841 wentH236 in unto AriochH746, whomH1768 the kingH4430 had appointedH4483 to destroyH7 the wiseH2445 menH2445 of BabylonH895: he wentH236 and saidH560 thusH3652 unto him; DestroyH7 not the wiseH2445 menH2445 of BabylonH895: bringH5954 meH6925 in beforeH6925 the kingH4430, and I will shew unto the kingH4430 the interpretationH6591.

25Then AriochH746 broughtH5954 in DanielH1841 beforeH6925 the kingH4430 in hasteH927, and saidH560 thusH3652 unto him, I have foundH7912 a manH1400 of the childrenH1123 of the captivity of JudahH3061, that will makeH3046 knownH3046 unto the kingH4430 the interpretationH6591.

26The kingH4430 answeredH6032 and saidH560 to DanielH1841, whoseH1768 nameH8036 was BelteshazzarH1096, Art thou ableH3546 to makeH3046 knownH3046 unto me the dreamH2493 whichH1768 I have seenH2370, and the interpretationH6591 thereof?

27DanielH1841 answeredH6032 beforeH6925 the kingH4430, and saidH560, The secret whichH1768 the kingH4430 hath demandedH560 canH1768 neitherH3809 wiseH2445 menH2445, enchanters, magiciansH2749, norH3809 soothsayers, shew unto the kingH4430;

28but there is a GodH426 in heavenH8065 that revealeth secrets, and he hath madeH3046 knownH3046 to the kingH4430 NebuchadnezzarH5020 whatH4101 shall be in the latterH320 daysH3118. Thy dreamH2493, and the visionsH2376 of thy headH7217 upon thy bedH4903, are theseH1836:

29as for thee, O kingH4430, thy thoughtsH7476 came into thy mind upon thy bedH4903, whatH4101 should come to pass hereafter: and he that revealeth secrets hath madeH3046 knownH3046 to thee whatH4101 shall come to pass.

30But as for me, this secret is notH3809 revealedH1541 to me for anyH3606 wisdomH2452 that I have moreH4481 thanH4481 anyH3606 livingH2417, but to the intent that the interpretationH6591 may be madeH3046 knownH3046 to the kingH4430, and that thou mayest knowH3046 the thoughtsH7476 of thy heartH3825.

31Thou, O kingH4430, sawest, and beholdH431 a greatH7229 imageH6755. This imageH6755, which was mighty, and whose brightnessH2122 was excellent, stoodH6966 beforeH6903 thee; and the aspect thereof was terrible.

32As for this imageH6755, his headH7217 was of fineH2869 goldH1722, his breastH2306 and his armsH1872 of silverH3702, his bellyH4577 and his thighsH3410 of brass,

33his legsH8243 of ironH6523, his feetH7271 partH4481 of ironH6523, and partH4481 of clayH2635.

34Thou sawest till that a stoneH69 was cutH1505 outH1505 withoutH3809 handsH3028, whichH1768 smote the imageH6755 upon his feetH7271 that were of ironH6523 and clayH2635, and brake them in pieces.

35Then was the ironH6523, the clayH2635, the brass, the silverH3702, and the goldH1722, broken in pieces together, and becameH1934 like the chaffH5784 of the summerH7007 threshing-floors; and the windH7308 carriedH5376 them away, that noH3809 placeH1934 was foundH7912 for them: and the stoneH69 that smote the imageH6755 becameH1934 a greatH7229 mountainH2906, and filledH4391 the wholeH3606 earthH772.

36This is the dreamH2493; and we will tellH560 the interpretationH6591 thereof beforeH6925 the kingH4430.

37Thou, O kingH4430, art kingH4430 of kingsH4430, unto whomH1768 the GodH426 of heavenH8065 hath givenH3052 the kingdomH4437, the powerH2632, and the strengthH2632, and the gloryH3367;

38and wheresoever the childrenH1123 of menH606 dwellH1753, the beastsH2423 of the fieldH1251 and the fowls of the heavenH8065 hath he givenH3052 into thine handH3028, and hath madeH7981 thee to ruleH7981 over them allH3606: thou art the headH7217 of goldH1722.
