• Daniel 2:28

  but there is a God in heaven who reveals secrets, and he has made known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. Your dream, and the visions of your head on your bed, are these:

• Daniel 2:29

  as for you, O king, your thoughts came on your bed, what should happen hereafter; and he who reveals secrets has made known to you what shall happen.

• Daniel 2:30

  But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for any wisdom that I have more than any living, but to the intent that the interpretation may be made known to the king, and that you may know the thoughts of your heart.

• Daniel 2:31

  You, O king, saw, and behold, a great image. This image, which was mighty, and whose brightness was excellent, stood before you; and its aspect was awesome.

• Daniel 2:32

  As for this image, its head was of fine gold, its breast and its arms of silver, its belly and its thighs of brass,

• Daniel 2:33

  its legs of iron, its feet part of iron, and part of clay.

• Daniel 2:34

  You saw until a stone was cut out without hands, which struck the image on its feet that were of iron and clay, and broke them in pieces.

• Daniel 2:35

  Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken in pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away, so that no place was found for them: and the stone that struck the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.

• Daniel 2:36

• Daniel 4:11

  The tree grew, and was strong, and its height reached to the sky, and its sight to the end of all the earth.

• Daniel 4:12

  The leaves of it were beautiful, and its fruit much, and in it was food for all: the animals of the field had shadow under it, and the birds of the sky lived in its branches, and all flesh was fed from it.

• Daniel 4:13

  I saw in the visions of my head on my bed, and behold, a watcher and a holy one came down from the sky.

• Daniel 4:14

  He cried aloud, and said thus, Cut down the tree, and cut off its branches, shake off its leaves, and scatter its fruit: let the animals get away from under it, and the fowls from its branches.

• Daniel 4:15

  Nevertheless leave the stump of its roots in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew of the sky: and let his portion be with the animals in the grass of the earth:

• Daniel 4:16

  let his heart be changed from man’s, and let an animal’s heart be given to him; and let seven times pass over him.

• Daniel 4:17

• Daniel 4:18

  This dream I, king Nebuchadnezzar, have seen; and you, Belteshazzar, declare the interpretation, because all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make known to me the interpretation; but you are able; for the spirit of the holy gods is in you.

• Daniel 4:19

  Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, was stricken mute for a while, and his thoughts troubled him. The king answered, Belteshazzar, don’t let the dream, or the interpretation, trouble you. Belteshazzar answered, My lord, the dream be to those who hate you, and its interpretation to your adversaries.

• Daniel 4:20

  The tree that you saw, which grew, and was strong, whose height reached to the sky, and its sight to all the earth;

• Daniel 4:21

  whose leaves were beautiful, and its fruit much, and in it was food for all; under which the animals of the field lived, and on whose branches the birds of the sky had their habitation:

• Daniel 4:22

  it is you, O king, that are grown and become strong; for your greatness is grown, and reaches to the sky, and your dominion to the end of the earth.

• Daniel 4:23

  Whereas the king saw a watcher and a holy one coming down from the sky, and saying, Cut down the tree, and destroy it; nevertheless leave the stump of its roots in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field, and let it be wet with the dew of the sky: and let his portion be with the animals of the field, until seven times pass over him;

• Daniel 4:24

  this is the interpretation, O king, and it is the decree of the Most High, which has come on my lord the king:

• Daniel 4:25

  that you shall be driven from men, and your dwelling shall be with the animals of the field, and you shall be made to eat grass as oxen, and shall be wet with the dew of the sky, and seven times shall pass over you; until you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever he will.
