Daniel 2:1 And in the second8147 year8141 of the reign4438 of Nebuchadnezzar5019 Nebuchadnezzar5019 dreamed2492 dreams,2472 wherewith his spirit7307 was troubled,6470 and his sleep8142 brake1961 from him. cr 2 Then the king4428 commanded559 to call7121 the magicians,2748 and the astrologers,825 and the sorcerers,3784 and the Chaldeans,3778 for to shew5046 the king4428 his dreams.2472 So they came935 and stood5975 before6440 the king.4428 cr 3 And the king4428 said559 unto them, I have dreamed2492 a dream,2472 and my spirit7307 was troubled6470 to know3045 the dream.2472 cr 4 Then spake1696 the Chaldeans3778 to the king4428 in Syriack,762 O king,4430 live2418 for ever:5957 tell560 thy servants5649 the dream,2493 and we will shew2324 the interpretation.6591 cr 5 The king4430 answered6032 and said560 to the Chaldeans,3779 The thing4406 is gone230 from me:4481 if2006 ye will not3809 make known3046 unto me the dream,2493 with the interpretation6591 thereof, ye shall be cut5648 in pieces,1917{Cald. made pieces} and your houses1005 shall be made7761 a dunghill.5122 cr 6 But if2006 ye shew2324 the dream,2493 and the interpretation6591 thereof, ye shall receive6902 of4481 me6925 gifts4978 and rewards5023{Or, Fee} and great7690 honour:3367 therefore3861 shew2324 me the dream,2493 and the interpretation6591 thereof. cr 7 They answered6032 again8579 and said,560 Let the king4430 tell560 his servants5649 the dream,2493 and we will shew2324 the interpretation6591 of it. cr 8 The king4430 answered6032 and said,560 I576 know3046 of4481 certainty3330 that ye608 would gain2084{Cald. buy} the time,5732 because6903 3606 ye see2370 the thing4406 is gone230 from4481 me. cr 9 But if2006 ye will not3809 make known3046 unto me the dream,2493 there is but one1932 2298 decree1882 for you: for ye have prepared2164 lying3538 and corrupt7844 words4406 to speak560 before6925 me, till5705 the time5732 be changed:8133 therefore3861 tell560 me the dream,2493 and I shall know3046 that1768 ye can shew2324 me the interpretation6591 thereof. cr

Daniel 2:10 The Chaldeans3779 answered6032 before6925 the king,4430 and said,560 There is383 not3809 a man606 upon5922 the earth3007 that can3202 shew2324 the king's4430 matter:4406 therefore6903 1768 there is no3809 king,4430 lord,7229 nor ruler,7990 that asked7593 such1836 things4406 at any3606 magician,2749 or astrologer,826 or Chaldean.3779 cr 11 And it is a rare3358 thing4406 that the king4430 requireth,7593 and there is383 none3809 other321 that can shew2324 it before6925 the king,4430 except3861 the gods,426 whose dwelling4070 is383 not3809 with5974 flesh.1321 cr 12 For6903 this1836 cause3606 the king4430 was angry1149 and very7690 furious,7108 and commanded560 to destroy7 all3606 the wise2445 men of Babylon.895 cr 13 And the decree1882 went forth5312 that the wise2445 men should be slain;6992 and they sought1156 Daniel1841 and his fellows2269 to be slain.6992 cr

Daniel 2:14 Then116 Daniel1841 answered8421{Cald. returned} with counsel5843 and wisdom2942 to Arioch746 the captain7229{Or, chief marshall.

Daniel 2:19 Then116 was the secret7328 revealed1541 unto Daniel1841 in a night3916 vision.2376 Then116 Daniel1841 blessed1289 the God426 of heaven.8065 cr 20 Daniel1841 answered6032 and said,560 Blessed1289 be1934 the name8036 of God426 for4481 ever5957 and ever:5705 5957 for wisdom2452 and might1370 are1932 his: cr 21 And he changeth8133 the times5732 and the seasons:2166 he removeth5709 kings,4430 and setteth up6966 kings:4430 he giveth3052 wisdom2452 unto the wise,2445 and knowledge4486 to them that know3046 understanding:999 cr 22 He revealeth1541 the deep5994 and secret things:5642 he knoweth3046 what4101 is in the darkness,2816 and the light5094 dwelleth8271 with him.5974 cr 23 I576 thank3029 thee, and praise7624 thee, O thou God426 of my fathers,2 who hast given3052 me wisdom2452 and might,1370 and hast made known3046 unto me now3705 what we desired1156 of thee:4481 for thou hast now made known3046 unto us the king's4430 matter.4406 cr

Daniel 2:24 Therefore3606 6903 1836 Daniel1841 went in5954 unto5922 Arioch,746 whom the king4430 had ordained4483 to destroy7 the wise2445 men of Babylon:895 he went236 and said560 thus3652 unto him; Destroy7 not409 the wise2445 men of Babylon:895 bring me in5954 before6925 the king,4430 and I will shew2324 unto the king4430 the interpretation.6591 cr 25 Then116 Arioch746 brought in5954 Daniel1841 before6925 the king4430 in haste,927 and said560 thus3652 unto him, I have found7912{Cald. that I have found} a man1400 of the captives1123 1547 of4481 Judah,3061{Cald. children of the captivity of Judah} that will make known3046 unto the king4430 the interpretation.6591 cr 26 The king4430 answered6032 and said560 to Daniel,1841 whose name8036 was Belteshazzar,1096 Art383 thou able3546 to make known3046 unto me the dream2493 which I have seen,2370 and the interpretation6591 thereof? cr 27 Daniel1841 answered6032 in the presence6925 of the king,4430 and said,560 The secret7328 which the king4430 hath demanded7593 cannot3202 3809 the wise2445 men, the astrologers,826 the magicians,2749 the soothsayers,1505 shew2324 unto the king;4430 cr 28 But1297 there is383 a God426 in heaven8065 that revealeth1541 secrets,7328 and maketh known3046{Cald. hath made known} to the king4430 Nebuchadnezzar5020 what4101 shall be1934 in the latter320 days.3118 Thy dream,2493 and the visions2376 of thy head7217 upon5922 thy bed,4903 are these;1836 cr 29 As for thee,607 O king,4430 thy thoughts7476 came5559{Cald. came up} into thy mind upon5922 thy bed,4903 what4101 should come to pass1934 hereafter:311 1836 and he that revealeth1541 secrets7328 maketh known3046 to thee what4101 shall come to pass.1934 cr 30 But as for me,576 this1836 secret7328 is not3809 revealed1541 to me for any wisdom2452 that I have383 more than4481 any3606 living,2417 but3861 for their sakes1701 that5922 shall make known3046 the interpretation6591 to the king,4430 and that thou mightest know3046 the thoughts7476 of thy heart.3825 cr
