¹ Nebuchadnezzar the king, unto all people, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth; Peace be multiplied unto you.

² I thought it good to shew the signs and wonders that the high God hath wrought toward me.

³ How great are his signs! and how mighty are his wonders! his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and his dominion is from generation to generation.

⁴ I Nebuchadnezzar was at rest in mine house, and flourishing in my palace:

⁵ I saw a dream which made me afraid, and the thoughts upon my bed and the visions of my head troubled me.

⁶ Therefore made I a decree to bring in all the wise men of Babylon before me, that they might make known unto me the interpretation of the dream.

⁷ Then came in the magicians, the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers: and I told the dream before them; but they did not make known unto me the interpretation thereof.

⁸ But at the last Daniel came in before me, whose name was Belteshazzar, according to the name of my God, and in whom is the spirit of the holy gods: and before him I told the dream, saying,

⁹ O Belteshazzar, master of the magicians, because I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in thee, and no secret troubleth thee, tell me the visions of my dream that I have seen, and the interpretation thereof.

¹⁰ Thus were the visions of mine head in my bed; I saw, and behold a tree in the midst of the earth, and the height thereof was great.

¹¹ The tree grew, and was strong, and the height thereof reached unto heaven, and the sight thereof to the end of all the earth:

¹² The leaves thereof were fair, and the fruit thereof much, and in it was meat for all: the beasts of the field had shadow under it, and the fowls of the heaven dwelt in the boughs thereof, and all flesh was fed of it.

¹³ I saw in the visions of my head upon my bed, and, behold, a watcher and an holy one came down from heaven;

¹⁴ He cried aloud, and said thus, Hew down the tree, and cut off his branches, shake off his leaves, and scatter his fruit: let the beasts get away from under it, and the fowls from his branches:

¹⁵ Nevertheless leave the stump of his 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 heaven, and let his portion be with the beasts in the grass of the earth:

¹⁶ Let his heart be changed from man's, and let a beast's heart be given unto him; and let seven times pass over him.

¹⁷ This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men.

¹⁸ This dream I king Nebuchadnezzar have seen. Now thou, O Belteshazzar, declare the interpretation thereof, forasmuch as all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make known unto me the interpretation: but thou art able; for the spirit of the holy gods is in thee.

¹⁹ Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, was astonied for one hour, and his thoughts troubled him. The king spake, and said, Belteshazzar, let not the dream, or the interpretation thereof, trouble thee. Belteshazzar answered and said, My lord, the dream be to them that hate thee, and the interpretation thereof to thine enemies.

²⁰ The tree that thou sawest, which grew, and was strong, whose height reached unto the heaven, and the sight thereof to all the earth;

²¹ Whose leaves were fair, and the fruit thereof much, and in it was meat for all; under which the beasts of the field dwelt, and upon whose branches the fowls of the heaven had their habitation:

²² It is thou, O king, that art grown and become strong: for thy greatness is grown, and reacheth unto heaven, and thy dominion to the end of the earth.

²³ And whereas the king saw a watcher and an holy one coming down from heaven, and saying, Hew the tree down, and destroy it; yet leave the stump of the roots thereof 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 heaven, and let his portion be with the beasts of the field, till seven times pass over him;

²⁴ This is the interpretation, O king, and this is the decree of the most High, which is come upon my lord the king:

²⁵ That they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field, and they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and they shall wet thee with the dew of heaven, and seven times shall pass over thee, till thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.

²⁶ And whereas they commanded to leave the stump of the tree roots; thy kingdom shall be sure unto thee, after that thou shalt have known that the heavens do rule.

²⁷ Wherefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable unto thee, and break off thy sins by righteousness, and thine iniquities by shewing mercy to the poor; if it may be a lengthening of thy tranquillity.

²⁸ All this came upon the king Nebuchadnezzar.

²⁹ At the end of twelve months he walked in the palace of the kingdom of Babylon.

³⁰ The king spake, and said, Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power, and for the honour of my majesty?

³¹ While the word was in the king's mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, saying, O king Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken; The kingdom is departed from thee.

³² And they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field: they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and seven times shall pass over thee, until thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.

³³ The same hour was the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar: and he was driven from men, and did eat grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hairs were grown like eagles' feathers, and his nails like birds' claws.

³⁴ And at the end of the days I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up mine eyes unto heaven, and mine understanding returned unto me, and I blessed the most High, and I praised and honoured him that liveth for ever, whose dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom is from generation to generation:

³⁵ And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?

³⁶ At the same time my reason returned unto me; and for the glory of my kingdom, mine honour and brightness returned unto me; and my counsellors and my lords sought unto me; and I was established in my kingdom, and excellent majesty was added unto me.

³⁷ Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honour the King of heaven, all whose works are truth, and his ways judgment: and those that walk in pride he is able to abase.

¹ Nebuchadnezzar ^H5020 the king, ^H4430 unto all ^H3606 people, ^H5972 nations, ^H524 and languages, ^H3961 that dwell ^H1753 in all ^H3606 the earth; ^H772 Peace ^H8001 be multiplied ^H7680 unto you.

² I thought ^H6925 it good ^H8232 to shew ^H2324 the signs ^H852 and wonders ^H8540 that the high ^H5943 God ^H426 hath wrought ^H5648 toward ^H5974 me.

³ How ^H4101 great ^H7260 are his signs! ^H852 and how ^H4101 mighty ^H8624 are his wonders! ^H8540 his kingdom ^H4437 is an everlasting ^H5957 kingdom, ^H4437 and his dominion ^H7985 is from ^H5974 generation ^H1859 to generation. ^H1859

⁴ I ^H576 Nebuchadnezzar ^H5020 was ^H1934 at rest ^H7954 in mine house, ^H1005 and flourishing ^H7487 in my palace: ^H1965

⁵ I saw ^H2370 a dream ^H2493 which made me afraid, ^H1763 and the thoughts ^H2031 upon ^H5922 my bed ^H4903 and the visions ^H2376 of my head ^H7217 troubled ^H927 me.

⁶ Therefore ^H4481 made ^H7761 I ^H4481 a decree ^H2942 to bring ^H5954 in all ^H3606 the wise ^H2445 men of Babylon ^H895 before ^H6925 me, that they might make known ^H3046 unto me the interpretation ^H6591 of the dream. ^H2493

⁷ Then ^H116 came ^H5954 in the magicians, ^H2749 the astrologers, ^H826 the Chaldeans, ^H3779 and the soothsayers: ^H1505 and I ^H576 told ^H560 the dream ^H2493 before ^H6925 them; but they did not ^H3809 make known ^H3046 unto me the interpretation ^H6591 thereof.

⁸ But at ^H5705 the last ^H318 Daniel ^H1841 came in ^H5922 before me, ^H6925 whose name ^H8036 was Belteshazzar, ^H1096 according to the name ^H8036 of my god, ^H426 and in whom is the spirit ^H7308 of the holy ^H6922 gods: ^H426 and before ^H6925 him I told ^H560 the dream, ^H2493 saying,

⁹ O Belteshazzar, ^H1096 master ^H7229 of the magicians, ^H2749 because I ^H576 know ^H3046 that the spirit ^H7308 of the holy ^H6922 gods ^H426 is in thee, and no ^{H3606 H3809} secret ^H7328 troubleth ^H598 thee, tell ^H560 me the visions ^H2376 of my dream ^H2493 that I have seen, ^H2370 and the interpretation ^H6591 thereof.

¹⁰ Thus were the visions ^H2376 of mine head ^H7217 in ^H5922 my bed; ^H4903 I saw, ^{H1934 H2370} and behold ^H431 a tree ^H363 in the midst ^H1459 of the earth, ^H772 and the height ^H7314 thereof was great. ^H7690

¹¹ The tree ^H363 grew, ^H7236 and was strong, ^H8631 and the height ^H7314 thereof reached ^H4291 unto heaven, ^H8065 and the sight ^H2379 thereof to the end ^H5491 of all ^H3606 the earth: ^H772

¹² The leaves ^H6074 thereof were fair, ^H8209 and the fruit ^H4 thereof much, ^H7690 and in it was meat ^H4203 for all: ^H3606 the beasts ^H2423 of the field ^H1251 had shadow ^H2927 under ^H8460 it, and the fowls ^H6853 of the heaven ^H8065 dwelt ^H1753 in the boughs ^H6056 thereof, and all ^H3606 flesh ^H1321 was fed ^H2110 of it. ^H4481

¹³ I saw ^{H1934 H2370} in the visions ^H2376 of my head ^H7217 upon ^H5922 my bed, ^H4903 and, behold, ^H431 a watcher ^H5894 and an holy one ^H6922 came down ^H5182 from ^H4481 heaven; ^H8065

¹⁴ He cried ^H7123 aloud, ^H2429 and said ^H560 thus, ^H3652 Hew down ^H1414 the tree, ^H363 and cut off ^H7113 his branches, ^H6056 shake off ^H5426 his leaves, ^H6074 and scatter ^H921 his fruit: ^H4 let the beasts ^H2423 get away ^H5111 from ^H4481 under it, ^H8479 and the fowls ^H6853 from ^H4481 his branches: ^H6056

¹⁵ Nevertheless ^H1297 leave ^H7662 the stump ^H6136 of his roots ^H8330 in the earth, ^H772 even with a band ^H613 of iron ^H6523 and brass, ^H5174 in the tender grass ^H1883 of the field; ^H1251 and let it be wet ^H6647 with the dew ^H2920 of heaven, ^H8065 and let his portion ^H2508 be with ^H5974 the beasts ^H2423 in the grass ^H6211 of the earth: ^H772

¹⁶ Let his heart ^H3825 be changed ^H8133 from ^H4481 man's, ^H606 and let a beast's ^H2423 heart ^H3825 be given ^H3052 unto him; and let seven ^H7655 times ^H5732 pass ^H2499 over ^H5922 him.

¹⁷ This matter ^H6600 is by the decree ^H1510 of the watchers, ^H5894 and the demand ^H7595 by the word ^H3983 of the holy ones: ^H6922 to ^H5705 the intent ^H1701 that the living ^H2417 may know ^H3046 that the most High ^H5943 ruleth ^H7990 in the kingdom ^H4437 of men, ^H606 and giveth ^H5415 it to whomsoever ^H4479 he will, ^H6634 and setteth up ^H6966 over ^H5922 it the basest ^H8215 of men. ^H606

¹⁸ This ^H1836 dream ^H2493 I ^H576 king ^H4430 Nebuchadnezzar ^H5020 have seen. ^H2370 Now thou, ^H607 O Belteshazzar, ^H1096 declare ^H560 the interpretation ^H6591 thereof, forasmuch as ^H6903 all ^H3606 the wise ^H2445 men of my kingdom ^H4437 are not ^H3809 able ^H3202 to make known ^H3046 unto me the interpretation: ^H6591 but thou ^H607 art able; ^H3546 for the spirit ^H7308 of the holy ^H6922 gods ^H426 is in thee.

¹⁹ Then ^H116 Daniel, ^H1841 whose name ^H8036 was Belteshazzar, ^H1096 was astonied ^H8075 for one ^H2298 hour, ^H8160 and his thoughts ^H7476 troubled ^H927 him. The king ^H4430 spake, ^H6032 and said, ^H560 Belteshazzar, ^H1096 let not ^H409 the dream, ^H2493 or the interpretation ^H6591 thereof, trouble ^H927 thee. Belteshazzar ^H1096 answered ^H6032 and said, ^H560 My lord, ^H4756 the dream ^H2493 be to them that hate ^H8131 thee, and the interpretation ^H6591 thereof to thine enemies. ^H6146

²⁰ The tree ^H363 that thou sawest, ^H2370 which grew, ^H7236 and was strong, ^H8631 whose height ^H7314 reached ^H4291 unto the heaven, ^H8065 and the sight ^H2379 thereof to all ^H3606 the earth; ^H772

²¹ Whose leaves ^H6074 were fair, ^H8209 and the fruit ^H4 thereof much, ^H7690 and in it was meat ^H4203 for all; ^H3606 under ^H8460 which the beasts ^H2423 of the field ^H1251 dwelt, ^H1753 and upon whose branches ^H6056 the fowls ^H6853 of the heaven ^H8065 had their habitation: ^H7932

²² It is thou, ^H607 O king, ^H4430 that art grown ^H7236 and become strong: ^H8631 for thy greatness ^H7238 is grown, ^H7236 and reacheth ^H4291 unto heaven, ^H8065 and thy dominion ^H7985 to the end ^H5491 of the earth. ^H772

²³ And whereas the king ^H4430 saw ^H2370 a watcher ^H5894 and an holy one ^H6922 coming down ^H5182 from ^H4481 heaven, ^H8065 and saying, ^H560 Hew ^H1414 the tree ^H363 down, ^H1414 and destroy ^H2255 it; yet ^H1297 leave ^H7662 the stump ^H6136 of the roots ^H8330 thereof in the earth, ^H772 even with a band ^H613 of iron ^H6523 and brass, ^H5174 in the tender grass ^H1883 of the field; ^H1251 and let it be wet ^H6647 with the dew ^H2920 of heaven, ^H8065 and let his portion ^H2508 be with ^H5974 the beasts ^H2423 of the field, ^H1251 till ^H5705 seven ^H7655 times ^H5732 pass ^H2499 over ^H5922 him;

²⁴ This ^H1836 is the interpretation, ^H6591 O king, ^H4430 and this ^H1932 is the decree ^H1510 of the most High, ^H5943 which is come ^H4291 upon ^H5922 my lord ^H4756 the king: ^H4430

²⁵ That they shall drive ^H2957 thee from ^H4481 men, ^H606 and thy dwelling ^H4070 shall be ^H1934 with ^H5974 the beasts ^H2423 of the field, ^H1251 and they shall make thee to eat ^H2939 grass ^H6211 as oxen, ^H8450 and they shall wet ^H6647 thee with the dew ^H2920 of heaven, ^H8065 and seven ^H7655 times ^H5732 shall pass ^H2499 over ^H5922 thee, till ^H5705 thou know ^H3046 that the most High ^H5943 ruleth ^H7990 in the kingdom ^H4437 of men, ^H606 and giveth ^H5415 it to whomsoever ^H4479 he will. ^H6634

²⁶ And whereas they commanded ^H560 to leave ^H7662 the stump ^H6136 of the tree ^H363 roots; ^H8330 thy kingdom ^H4437 shall be sure ^H7011 unto thee, after ^H4481 that thou shalt have known ^H3046 that the heavens ^H8065 do rule. ^H7990

²⁷ Wherefore, ^H3861 O king, ^H4430 let my counsel ^H4431 be acceptable ^H8232 unto thee, ^H5922 and break off ^H6562 thy sins ^H2408 by righteousness, ^H6665 and thine iniquities ^H5758 by shewing mercy ^H2604 to the poor; ^H6033 if ^H2006 it may be ^H1934 a lengthening ^H754 of thy tranquillity. ^H7963

²⁸ All ^H3606 this came ^H4291 upon ^H5922 the king ^H4430 Nebuchadnezzar. ^H5020

²⁹ At the end ^H7118 of twelve ^{H8648 H6236} months ^H3393 he walked ^{H1934 H1981} in ^H5922 the palace ^H1965 of the kingdom ^H4437 of Babylon. ^H895

³⁰ The king ^H4430 spake, ^H6032 and said, ^H560 Is not ^H3809 this ^{H1932 H1668} great ^H7229 Babylon, ^H895 that I ^H576 have built ^H1124 for the house ^H1005 of the kingdom ^H4437 by the might ^H8632 of my power, ^H2632 and for the honour ^H3367 of my majesty? ^H1923

³¹ While ^H5751 the word ^H4406 was in the king's ^H4430 mouth, ^H6433 there fell ^H5308 a voice ^H7032 from ^H4481 heaven, ^H8065 saying, O king ^H4430 Nebuchadnezzar, ^H5020 to thee it is spoken; ^H560 The kingdom ^H4437 is departed ^H5709 from ^H4481 thee.

³² And they shall drive ^H2957 thee from ^H4481 men, ^H606 and thy dwelling ^H4070 shall be with ^H5974 the beasts ^H2423 of the field: ^H1251 they shall make thee to eat ^H2939 grass ^H6211 as oxen, ^H8450 and seven ^H7655 times ^H5732 shall pass ^H2499 over ^H5922 thee, until ^H5705 thou know ^H3046 that the most High ^H5943 ruleth ^H7990 in the kingdom ^H4437 of men, ^H606 and giveth ^H5415 it to whomsoever ^H4479 he will. ^H6634

³³ The same hour ^H8160 was the thing ^H4406 fulfilled ^H5487 upon ^H5922 Nebuchadnezzar: ^H5020 and he was driven ^H2957 from ^H4481 men, ^H606 and did eat ^H399 grass ^H6211 as oxen, ^H8450 and his body ^H1655 was wet ^H6647 with the dew ^H2920 of heaven, ^H8065 till ^H5705 his hairs ^H8177 were grown ^H7236 like eagles' ^H5403 feathers, and his nails ^H2953 like birds' ^H6853 claws.

³⁴ And at the end ^H7118 of the days ^H3118 I ^H576 Nebuchadnezzar ^H5020 lifted up ^H5191 mine eyes ^H5870 unto heaven, ^H8065 and mine understanding ^H4486 returned ^H8421 unto me, ^H5922 and I blessed ^H1289 the most High, ^H5943 and I praised ^H7624 and honoured ^H1922 him that liveth ^H2417 for ever, ^H5957 whose dominion ^H7985 is an everlasting ^H5957 dominion, ^H7985 and his kingdom ^H4437 is from ^H5974 generation ^H1859 to generation: ^H1859

³⁵ And all ^H3606 the inhabitants ^H1753 of the earth ^H772 are reputed ^H2804 as nothing: ^H3809 and he doeth ^H5648 according to his will ^H6634 in the army ^H2429 of heaven, ^H8065 and among the inhabitants ^H1753 of the earth: ^H772 and none ^H3809 can ^H383 stay ^H4223 his hand, ^H3028 or say ^H560 unto him, What ^H4101 doest ^H5648 thou?

³⁶ At the same time ^H2166 my reason ^H4486 returned ^H8421 unto me; ^H5922 and for the glory ^H3367 of my kingdom, ^H4437 mine honour ^H1923 and brightness ^H2122 returned ^H8421 unto me; ^H5922 and my counsellors ^H1907 and my lords ^H7261 sought ^H1156 unto me; ^H5922 and I was established ^H8627 in my kingdom, ^H4437 and excellent ^H3493 majesty ^H7238 was added ^H3255 unto me.

³⁷ Now ^H3705 I ^H576 Nebuchadnezzar ^H5020 praise ^H7624 and extol ^H7313 and honour ^H1922 the King ^H4430 of heaven, ^H8065 all ^H3606 whose works ^H4567 are truth, ^H7187 and his ways ^H735 judgment: ^H1780 and those that walk ^H1981 in pride ^H1467 he is able ^H3202 to abase. ^H8214

---

¹ Nebuchadnezzar the king, unto all the peoples, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth: Peace be multiplied unto you.

² It hath seemed good unto me to show the signs and wonders that the Most High God hath wrought toward me.

³ How great are his signs! and how mighty are his wonders! his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and his dominion is from generation to generation.

⁴ I, Nebuchadnezzar, was at rest in my house, and flourishing in my palace.

⁵ I saw a dream which made me afraid; and the thoughts upon my bed and the visions of my head troubled me.

⁶ Therefore made I a decree to bring in all the wise men of Babylon before me, that they might make known unto me the interpretation of the dream.

⁷ Then came in the magicians, the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers; and I told the dream before them; but they did not make known unto me the interpretation thereof.

⁸ But at the last Daniel came in before me, whose name was Belteshazzar, according to the name of my god, and in whom is the spirit of the holy gods: and I told the dream before him, `saying',

⁹ O Belteshazzar, master of the magicians, because I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in thee, and no secret troubleth thee, tell me the visions of my dream that I have seen, and the interpretation thereof.

¹⁰ Thus were the visions of my head upon my bed: I saw, and, behold, a tree in the midst of the earth; and the height thereof was great.

¹¹ The tree grew, and was strong, and the height thereof reached unto heaven, and the sight thereof to the end of all the earth.

¹² The leaves thereof were fair, and the fruit thereof much, and in it was food for all: the beasts of the field had shadow under it, and the birds of the heavens dwelt in the branches thereof, and all flesh was fed from it.

¹³ I saw in the visions of my head upon my bed, and, behold, a watcher and a holy one came down from heaven.

¹⁴ He cried aloud, and said thus, Hew down the tree, and cut off its branches, shake off its leaves, and scatter its fruit: let the beasts get away from under it, and the fowls from its branches.

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 heaven: and let his portion be with the beasts in the grass of the earth:

¹⁶ let his heart be changed from man's, and let a beast's heart be given unto him; and let seven times pass over him.

¹⁷ The sentence is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones; to the intent that the living may know that the Most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the lowest of men.

¹⁸ This dream I, king Nebuchadnezzar, have seen; and thou, O Belteshazzar, declare the interpretation, forasmuch as all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make known unto me the interpretation; but thou art able; for the spirit of the holy gods is in thee.

¹⁹ Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, was stricken dumb for a while, and his thoughts troubled him. The king answered and said, Belteshazzar, let not the dream, or the interpretation, trouble thee. Belteshazzar answered and said, My lord, the dream be to them that hate thee, and the interpretation thereof to thine adversaries.

²⁰ The tree that thou sawest, which grew, and was strong, whose height reached unto heaven, and the sight thereof to all the earth;

²¹ whose leaves were fair, and the fruit thereof much, and in it was food for all; under which the beasts of the field dwelt, and upon whose branches the birds of the heavens had their habitation:

²² it is thou, O king, that art grown and become strong; for thy greatness is grown, and reacheth unto heaven, and thy dominion to the end of the earth.

²³ And whereas the king saw a watcher and a holy one coming down from heaven, and saying, Hew down the tree, and destroy it; nevertheless leave the stump of the roots thereof 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 heaven: and let his portion be with the beasts of the field, till seven times pass over him;

²⁴ this is the interpretation, O king, and it is the decree of the Most High, which is come upon my lord the king:

²⁵ that thou shalt be driven from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field, and thou shalt be made to eat grass as oxen, and shalt be wet with the dew of heaven, and seven times shall pass over thee; till thou know that the Most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.

²⁶ And whereas they commanded to leave the stump of the roots of the tree; thy kingdom shall be sure unto thee, after that thou shalt have known that the heavens do rule.

²⁷ Wherefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable unto thee, and break off thy sins by righteousness, and thine iniquities by showing mercy to the poor; if there may be a lengthening of thy tranquillity.

²⁸ All this came upon the king Nebuchadnezzar.

²⁹ At the end of twelve months he was walking in the royal palace of Babylon.

³⁰ The king spake and said, Is not this great Babylon, which I have built for the royal dwelling-place, by the might of my power and for the glory of my majesty?

³¹ While the word was in the king's mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, `saying', O king Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken: The kingdom is departed from thee:

³² and thou shalt be driven from men; and they dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field; thou shalt be made to eat grass as oxen; and seven times shall pass over thee; until thou know that the Most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.

³³ The same hour was the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar: and he was driven from men, and did eat grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hair was grown like eagles' `feathers', and his nails like birds' `claws'.

³⁴ And at the end of the days I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted up mine eyes unto heaven, and mine understanding returned unto me, and I blessed the Most High, and I praised and honored him that liveth for ever; for his dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom from generation to generation.

³⁵ And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing; and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth; and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?

³⁶ At the same time mine understanding returned unto me; and for the glory of my kingdom, my majesty and brightness returned unto me; and my counsellors and my lords sought unto me; and I was established in my kingdom, and excellent greatness was added unto me.

³⁷ Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven; for all his works are truth, and his ways justice; and those that walk in pride he is able to abase.

---

¹ `Nebuchadnezzar the king to all peoples, nations, and languages, who are dwelling in all the earth: Your peace be great!

² The signs and wonders that God Most High hath done with me, it is good before me to shew.

³ His signs how great! and His wonders how mighty! His kingdom `is' a kingdom age-during, and His rule `is' with generation and generation.

⁴ `I, Nebuchadnezzar, have been at rest in my house, and flourishing in my palace:

⁵ a dream I have seen, and it maketh me afraid, and the conceptions on my bed, and the visions of my head, do trouble me.

⁶ And by me a decree is made, to cause all the wise men of Babylon to come up before me, that the interpretation of the dream they may cause me to know.

⁷ Then coming up are the scribes, the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers, and the dream I have told before them, and its interpretation they are not making known to me.

⁸ And at last come up before me hath Daniel, whose name `is' Belteshazzar -- according to the name of my god -- and in whom `is' the spirit of the holy gods, and the dream before him I have told:

⁹ `O Belteshazzar, master of the scribes, as I have known that the spirit of the holy gods `is' in thee, and no secret doth press thee, the visions of my dream that I have seen, and its interpretation, tell.

¹⁰ As to the visions of my head on my bed, I was looking, and lo, a tree in the midst of the earth, and its height `is' great:

¹¹ become great hath the tree, yea, strong, and its height doth reach to the heavens, and its vision to the end of the whole land;

¹² its leaves `are' fair, and its budding great, and food for all `is' in it: under it take shade doth the beast of the field, and in its boughs dwell do the birds of the heavens, and of it fed are all flesh.

¹³ `I was looking, in the visions of my head on my bed, and lo, a sifter, even a holy one, from the heavens is coming down.

¹⁴ He is calling mightily, and thus hath said, Cut down the tree, and cut off its branches, shake off its leaves, and scatter its budding, move away let the beast from under it, and the birds from off its branches;

¹⁵ but the stump of its roots leave in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field, and with the dew of the heavens is it wet, and with the beasts `is' his portion in the herb of the earth;

¹⁶ his heart from man's is changed, and the heart of a beast is given to him, and seven times pass over him;

¹⁷ by the decree of the sifters `is' the sentence, and by the saying of the holy ones the requirement, to the intent that the living may know that the Most High is ruler in the kingdom of men, and to whom He willeth He giveth it, and the lowest of men He doth raise up over it.

¹⁸ `This dream I have seen, I king Nebuchadnezzar; and thou, O Belteshazzar, the interpretation tell, because that all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to cause me to know the interpretation, and thou `art' able, for the spirit of the holy gods `is' in thee.

¹⁹ `Then Daniel, whose name `is' Belteshazzar, hath been astonished about one hour, and his thoughts do trouble him; the king hath answered and said, O Belteshazzar, let not the dream and its interpretation trouble thee. Belteshazzar hath answered and said, My lord, the dream -- to those hating thee, and its interpretation -- to thine enemies!

²⁰ The tree that thou hast seen, that hath become great and strong, and its height doth reach to the heavens, and its vision to all the land,

²¹ and its leaves `are' fair, and its budding great, and food for all `is' in it, under it dwell doth the beast of the field, and on its boughs sit do the birds of the heavens.

²² `Thou it `is', O king, for thou hast become great and mighty, and thy greatness hath become great, and hath reached to the heavens, and thy dominion to the end of the earth;

²³ and that which the king hath seen -- a sifter, even a holy one, coming down from the heavens, and he hath said, Cut down the tree, and destroy it; but the stump of its roots leave in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field, and with the dew of the heavens it is wet, and with the beast of the field `is' his portion, till that seven times pass over him.

²⁴ `This `is' the interpretation, O king, and the decree of the Most High it `is' that hath come against my lord the king:

²⁵ and they are driving thee away from men, and with the beast of the field is thy dwelling, and the herb as oxen they do cause thee to eat, and by the dew of the heavens they are wetting thee, and seven times do pass over thee, till that thou knowest that the Most High is ruler in the kingdom of men, and to whom He willeth He giveth it.

²⁶ And that which they said -- to leave the stump of the roots of the tree; thy kingdom for thee abideth, after that thou knowest that the heavens are ruling.

²⁷ `Therefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable unto thee, and thy sins by righteousness break off, and thy perversity by pitying the poor, lo, it is a lengthening of thine ease.

²⁸ `All -- hath come on Nebuchadnezzar the king.

²⁹ `At the end of twelve months, on the palace of the kingdom of Babylon he hath been walking;

³⁰ the king hath answered and said, Is not this that great Babylon that I have built, for the house of the kingdom, in the might of my strength, and for the glory of mine honour?

³¹ `While the word is `in' the king's mouth a voice from the heavens hath fallen: To thee they are saying: O Nebuchadnezzar the king, the kingdom hath passed from thee,

³² and from men they are driving thee away, and with the beast of the field `is' thy dwelling, the herb as oxen they do cause thee to eat, and seven times do pass over thee, till that thou knowest that the Most High is ruler in the kingdom of men, and to whom He willeth He giveth it.

³³ `In that hour the thing hath been fulfilled on Nebuchadnezzar, and from men he is driven, and the herb as oxen he eateth, and by the dew of the heavens his body is wet, till that his hair as eagles' hath become great, and his nails as birds.'

³⁴ `And at the end of the days I, Nebuchadnezzar, mine eyes to the heavens have lifted up, and mine understanding unto me returneth, and the Most High I have blessed, and the Age-during Living One I have praised and honoured, whose dominion `is' a dominion age-during, and His kingdom with generation and generation;

³⁵ and all who are dwelling on the earth as nothing are reckoned, and according to his will He is doing among the forces of the heavens and those dwelling on the earth, and there is none that doth clap with his hand, and saith to Him, What hast Thou done?

³⁶ `At that time my understanding doth return unto me, and for the glory of my kingdom, my honour and my brightness doth return unto me, and to me my counsellors and my great men do seek, and over my kingdom I have been made right, and abundant greatness hath been added to me.

³⁷ `Now, I, Nebuchadnezzar, am praising and exalting and honouring the King of the heavens, for all His works `are' truth, and His paths judgment, and those walking in pride He is able to humble.'

---

¹ Nebuchadnezzar the king unto all the peoples, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth: Peace be multiplied unto you.

² It hath seemed good unto me to declare the signs and wonders that the Most High God hath wrought toward me.

³ How great are his signs! and how mighty are his wonders! His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and his dominion is from generation to generation.

⁴ I Nebuchadnezzar was at rest in my house, and flourishing in my palace.

⁵ I saw a dream which made me afraid, and the thoughts upon my bed and the visions of my head troubled me.

⁶ And I made a decree to bring in all the wise men of Babylon before me, that they might make known unto me the interpretation of the dream.

⁷ Then came in the scribes, the magicians, the Chaldeans, and the astrologers; and I told the dream before them; but they did not make known unto me the interpretation of it.

⁸ But at the last Daniel came in before me, whose name is Belteshazzar, according to the name of my god, and in whom is the spirit of the holy gods; and before him I told the dream:

⁹ O Belteshazzar, master of the scribes, because I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in thee, and no secret is too hard for thee, tell me the visions of my dream which I have seen, and the interpretation of it.

¹⁰ Thus were the visions of my head upon my bed: I saw, and behold a tree in the midst of the earth, and its height was great.

¹¹ The tree grew, and was strong, and its height reached unto the heavens, and the sight thereof to the end of all the earth.

¹² Its leaves were beautiful, and its fruit abundant, and in it was food for all: the beasts of the field found shade under it, and the birds of the heavens dwelt in its branches, and all flesh was fed from it.

¹³ I saw in the visions of my head upon my bed, and behold, a watcher and a holy one came down from the heavens;

¹⁴ he cried aloud, and said thus: Hew down the tree, and cut off its branches, shake off its leaves, and scatter its fruit; let the beasts get away from under it, and the birds from its branches.

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 bathed with the dew of heaven, and let his portion be with the beasts in the grass of the earth.

¹⁶ Let his heart be changed from man's, and let a beast's heart be given unto him; and let seven times pass over him.

¹⁷ This sentence is by the decree of the watchers, and the decision by the word of the holy ones: that the living may know that the Most High ruleth over the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men.

¹⁸ This dream I, king Nebuchadnezzar, have seen; and thou, Belteshazzar, tell the interpretation, forasmuch as all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make known unto me the interpretation; but thou art able, for the spirit of the holy gods is in thee.

¹⁹ Then Daniel, whose name is Belteshazzar, was astonied for one hour, and his thoughts troubled him. The king spoke and said, Belteshazzar, let not the dream, nor its interpretation, trouble thee. Belteshazzar answered and said, My lord, the dream be to them that hate thee, and its interpretation to thine enemies!

²⁰ The tree that thou sawest, which grew and was strong, whose height reached unto the heavens, and the sight of it to all the earth;

²¹ whose leaves were beautiful, and its fruit abundant, and in it was food for all; under which the beasts of the field dwelt, and in whose branches the birds of the heavens had their habitation:

²² it is thou, O king, who art grown and become strong; for thy greatness is grown, and reacheth unto the heavens, and thy dominion to the end of the earth.

²³ And whereas the king saw a watcher and a holy one coming down from the heavens, and saying, Hew the tree down, 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 bathed with the dew of heaven, and let his portion be with the beasts of the field, till seven times pass over him:

²⁴ this is the interpretation, O king, and it is the decree of the Most High, which cometh upon my lord the king:

²⁵ They shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field, and they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and thou shalt be bathed with the dew of heaven; and seven times shall pass over thee, till thou know that the Most High ruleth over the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.

²⁶ And whereas it was commanded to leave the stump of the roots of the tree; thy kingdom shall remain unto thee, after that thou shalt know that the heavens do rule.

²⁷ Therefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable unto thee, and break off thy sins by righteousness, and thine iniquities by shewing mercy to the poor; if it may be a lengthening of thy tranquillity.

²⁸ All this came upon king Nebuchadnezzar.

²⁹ At the end of twelve months he was walking upon the royal palace of Babylon:

³⁰ the king spoke and said, Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power and for the glory of my majesty?

³¹ While the word was in the king's mouth, there fell a voice from the heavens: King Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken: The kingdom is departed from thee;

³² and they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field; they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and seven times shall pass over thee, until thou know that the Most High ruleth over the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.

³³ The same hour was the word fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar; and he was driven from men, and ate grass as oxen; and his body was bathed with the dew of heaven, till his hair grew like eagles' [feathers], and his nails like birds' [claws].

³⁴ And at the end of the days I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up mine eyes unto the heavens, and mine understanding returned unto me, and I blessed the Most High, and I praised and honoured him that liveth for ever, whose dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom is from generation to generation.

³⁵ And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing; and he doeth according to his will in the army of the heavens, and among the inhabitants of the earth; and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?

³⁶ At the same time mine understanding returned unto me; and for the glory of my kingdom, my majesty and brightness returned unto me; and my counsellors and my nobles sought me; and I was established in my kingdom, and excellent greatness was added unto me.

³⁷ Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honour the King of the heavens, all whose works are truth, and his paths judgment: and those that walk in pride he is able to abase.

---

¹ Nebuchadnezzar the king, to all the peoples, nations, and languages, who dwell in all the earth: Peace be multiplied to you.

² It has seemed good to me to show the signs and wonders that the Most High God has worked toward me.

³ How great are his signs! and how mighty are his wonders! his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and his dominion is from generation to generation.

⁴ I, Nebuchadnezzar, was at rest in my house, and flourishing in my palace.

⁵ I saw a dream which made me afraid; and the thoughts on my bed and the visions of my head troubled me.

⁶ Therefore made I a decree to bring in all the wise men of Babylon before me, that they might make known to me the interpretation of the dream.

⁷ Then came in the magicians, the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers; and I told the dream before them; but they did not make known to me the interpretation of it.

⁸ But at the last Daniel came in before me, whose name was Belteshazzar, according to the name of my god, and in whom is the spirit of the holy gods: and I told the dream before him, [saying],

⁹ Belteshazzar, master of the magicians, because I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in you, and no secret troubles you, tell me the visions of my dream that I have seen, and the interpretation of it.

¹⁰ Thus were the visions of my head on my bed: I saw, and, behold, a tree in the midst of the earth; and the height of it was great.

¹¹ The tree grew, and was strong, and the height of it reached to the sky, and the sight of it to the end of all the earth.

¹² The leaves of it were beautiful, and the fruit of it 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 the branches of it, and all flesh was fed from it.

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.

¹⁴ He cried aloud, and said thus, Hew 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.

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:

¹⁶ let his heart be changed from man's, and let a animal's heart be given to him; and let seven times pass over him.

¹⁷ The sentence is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones; to the intent that the living may know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whoever he will, and sets up over it the lowest of men.

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.

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 the interpretation of it to your adversaries.

²⁰ The tree that you saw, which grew, and was strong, whose height reached to the sky, and the sight of it to all the earth;

²¹ whose leaves were beautiful, and the fruit of it 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:

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.

²³ Whereas the king saw a watcher and a holy one coming down from the sky, and saying, Hew down the tree, and destroy it; nevertheless leave the stump of the roots of it 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;

²⁴ this is the interpretation, O king, and it is the decree of the Most High, which is come on my lord the king:

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 whoever he will.

²⁶ Whereas they commanded to leave the stump of the roots of the tree; your kingdom shall be sure to you, after that you shall have known that the heavens do rule.

²⁷ Therefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable to you, and break off your sins by righteousness, and your iniquities by showing mercy to the poor; if there may be a lengthening of your tranquillity.

²⁸ All this came on the king Nebuchadnezzar.

²⁹ At the end of twelve months he was walking in the royal palace of Babylon.

³⁰ The king spoke and said, Is not this great Babylon, which I have built for the royal dwelling-place, by the might of my power and for the glory of my majesty?

³¹ While the word was in the king's mouth, there fell a voice from the sky, [saying], O king Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is spoken: The kingdom is departed from you:

³² and you shall be driven from men; and they dwelling shall be with the animals of the field; you shall be made to eat grass as oxen; and seven times shall pass over you; until you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whoever he will.

³³ The same hour was the thing fulfilled on Nebuchadnezzar: and he was driven from men, and ate grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of the sky, until his hair was grown like eagles' [feathers], and his nails like birds' [claws].

³⁴ At the end of the days I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted up my eyes to heaven, and my understanding returned to me, and I blessed the Most High, and I praised and honored him who lives forever; for his dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom from generation to generation.

³⁵ All the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing; and he does according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth; and none can stay his hand, or tell him, What do you?

³⁶ At the same time my understanding returned to me; and for the glory of my kingdom, my majesty and brightness returned to me; and my counselors and my lords sought to me; and I was established in my kingdom, and excellent greatness was added to me.

³⁷ Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven; for all his works are truth, and his ways justice; and those who walk in pride he is able to abase.

---

¹ Nebuchadnezzar the king, to all the peoples, nations, and languages living in all the earth: May your peace be increased.

² It has seemed good to me to make clear the signs and wonders which the Most High God has done with me.

³ How great are his signs! and how full of power are his wonders! his kingdom is an eternal kingdom and his rule goes on from generation to generation.

⁴ I, Nebuchadnezzar, was at rest in my place, and all things were going well for me in my great house:

⁵ I saw a dream which was a cause of great fear to me; I was troubled by the images of my mind on my bed, and by the visions of my head.

⁶ And I gave orders for all the wise men of Babylon to come in before me so that they might make clear to me the sense of my dream.

⁷ Then the wonder-workers, the users of secret arts, the Chaldaeans, and the readers of signs came in to me: and I put the dream before them but they did not make clear the sense of it to me.

⁸ But at last Daniel came in before me, he whose name was Belteshazzar, after the name of my god, and in whom is the spirit of the holy gods: and I put the dream before him, saying,

⁹ O Belteshazzar, master of the wonder-workers, because I am certain that the spirit of the holy gods is in you, and you are troubled by no secret; this is the dream which I saw: make clear to me its sense.

¹⁰ On my bed I saw a vision: there was a tree in the middle of the earth, and it was very high.

¹¹ And the tree became tall and strong, stretching up to heaven, and to be seen from the ends of the earth:

¹² Its leaves were fair and it had much fruit, and in it was food enough for all: the beasts of the field had shade under it, and the birds of heaven were resting in its branches, and it gave food to all living things.

¹³ In the visions of my head on my bed I saw a watcher, a holy one, coming down from heaven,

¹⁴ Crying out with a loud voice; and this is what he said: Let the tree be cut down and its branches broken off; let its leaves be taken off and its fruit sent in every direction: let the beasts get away from under it and the birds from its branches:

¹⁵ But keep its broken end and its roots still in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass; let him have the young grass of the field for food, and let him be wet with the dew of heaven, and let his part be with the beasts.

¹⁶ Let his heart be changed from that of a man, and the heart of a beast be given to him; and let seven times go by him.

¹⁷ This order is fixed by the watchers, and the decision is by the word of the holy ones: so that the living may be certain that the Most High is ruler over the kingdom of men, and gives it to any man at his pleasure, lifting up over it the lowest of men.

¹⁸ This dream I, King Nebuchadnezzar, saw; and do you, O Belteshazzar, make clear the sense of it, for all the wise men of my kingdom are unable to make the sense of it clear to me; but you are able, for the spirit of the holy gods is in you.

¹⁹ Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, was at a loss for a time, his thoughts troubling him. The king made answer and said, Belteshazzar, do not be troubled by the dream or by the sense of it. Belteshazzar, answering, said, My lord, may the dream be about your haters, and its sense about those who are against you.

²⁰ The tree which you saw, which became tall and strong, stretching up to heaven and seen from the ends of the earth;

²¹ Which had fair leaves and much fruit, and had in it food for all; under which the beasts of the field were living, and in the branches of which the birds of heaven had their resting-places:

²² It is you, O King, who have become great and strong: for your power is increased and stretching up to heaven, and your rule to the end of the earth.

²³ And as for the vision which the king saw of a watcher, a holy one, coming down from heaven, saying, Let the tree be cut down and given to destruction;

²⁴ This is the sense of it, O King, and it is the decision of the Most High which has come on my lord the king:

²⁵ That they will send you out from among men, to be with the beasts of the field; they will give you grass for your food like the oxen, and you will be wet with the dew of heaven, and seven times will go by you, till you are certain that the Most High is ruler in the kingdom of men, and gives it to any man at his pleasure.

²⁶ And as they gave orders to let the broken end and the roots of the tree be, so your kingdom will be safe for you after it is clear to you that the heavens are ruling.

²⁷ For this cause, O King, let my suggestion be pleasing to you, and let your sins be covered by righteousness and your evil-doing by mercy to the poor, so that the time of your well-being may be longer.

²⁸ All this came to King Nebuchadnezzar.

²⁹ At the end of twelve months he was walking on the roof of his great house in Babylon.

³⁰ The king made answer and said, Is this not great Babylon, which I have made for the living-place of kings, by the strength of my power and for the glory of my honour?

³¹ While the word was still in the king's mouth, a voice came down from heaven, saying, O King Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is said: The kingdom has gone from you:

³² And they will send you out from among men, to be with the beasts of the field; they will give you grass for your food like the oxen, and seven times will go by you, till you are certain that the Most High is ruler in the kingdom of men, and gives it to any man at his pleasure.

³³ That very hour the order about Nebuchadnezzar was put into effect: and he was sent out from among men, and had grass for his food like the oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hair became long as eagles' feathers and his nails like those of birds.

³⁴ And at the end of the days, I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifting up my eyes to heaven, got back my reason, and, blessing the Most High, I gave praise and honour to him who is living for ever, whose rule is an eternal rule and whose kingdom goes on from generation to generation.

³⁵ And all the people of the earth are as nothing: he does his pleasure in the army of heaven and among the people of the earth: and no one is able to keep back his hand, or say to him, What are you doing?

³⁶ At the same time my reason came back to me; and for the glory of my kingdom, my honour and my great name came back to me; and my wise men and my lords were turned to me again; and I was made safe in my kingdom and had more power than before.

³⁷ Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, give worship and praise and honour to the King of heaven; for all his works are true and his ways are right: and those who go in pride he is able to make low.
