The Choice Young Men

In the third 7969 year 8141 of the reign 4438 of Jehoiakim 3079 king 4428 of Judah 3063, Nebuchadnezzar 5019 king 4428 of Babylon 894 came 935 to Jerusalem 3389 and besieged it.
2 The Lord 136 gave 5414 Jehoiakim 3079 king 4428 of Judah 3063 into his hand 3027, along with some of the vessels 3627 of the house 1004 of God 430; and he brought 935 them to the land 776 of Shinar 8152, to the house 1004 of his god 430, and he brought 935 the vessels 3627 into the treasury of his god 430.
3 ¶ Then the king 4428 ordered 559 Ashpenaz 828, the chief 7227 of his officials 5631, to bring 935 in some 4480 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, including some 4480 of the royal 4410 family 2233 and of the nobles 6579,
4 youths 3206 in whom 834 was no defect 3971, who were good-looking, showing 7919 intelligence 7919 in every 3605 {branch of} wisdom 2451, endowed 3045 with understanding 995 and discerning 995 knowledge 4093, and who 834 had ability 3851 for serving 5975 in the king's 4428 court 1964; and {he ordered him} to teach 3925 them the literature 5612 and language 3956 of the Chaldeans 3778.
5 The king 4428 appointed 4487 for them a daily 3117 ration 1697 from the king's 4428 choice 6598 food 6598 and from the wine 3196 which 4960 he drank 4960, and {appointed} that they should be educated 1431 three 7969 years 8141, at the end 7117 of which they were to enter 5975 the king's 4428 personal 6440 service.
6 Now among them from the sons 1121 of Judah 3063 were Daniel 1840, Hananiah 2608, Mishael 4332 and Azariah 5838.
7 Then the commander 8269 of the officials 5631 assigned 7760 {new} names 8034 to them; and to Daniel 1840 he assigned 7760 {the name} Belteshazzar 1095, to Hananiah 2608 Shadrach 7714, to Mishael 4332 Meshach 4335 and to Azariah 5838 Abed-nego 5664.

Daniel's Resolve

¶ But Daniel 1840 made 7760 up his mind 3820 that he would not defile 1351 himself with the king's 4428 choice 6598 food 6598 or with the wine 3196 which 4960 he drank 4960; so he sought 1245 {permission} from the commander 8269 of the officials 5631 that he might not defile 1351 himself.
9 Now God 430 granted 5414 Daniel 1840 favor 2617 and compassion 7356 in the sight 6440 of the commander 8269 of the officials 5631,
10 and the commander 8269 of the officials 5631 said 559 to Daniel 1840, "I am afraid 3372 of my lord 113 the king 4428, who 834 has appointed 4487 your food 3978 and your drink 4960; for why 4100 should he see 7200 your faces 6440 looking 2196 more 4480 haggard 2196 than 4480 the youths 3206 who 834 are your own age 1524? Then you would make me forfeit 2325 my head 7218 to the king 4428."
11 But Daniel 1840 said 559 to the overseer 4453 whom 834 the commander 8269 of the officials 5631 had appointed 4487 over 5921 Daniel 1840, Hananiah 2608, Mishael 4332 and Azariah 5838,
12 "Please 4994 test 5254 your servants 5650 for ten 6235 days 3117, and let us be given 5414 some 4480 vegetables 2235 to eat 398 and water 4325 to drink 8354.
13 "Then let our appearance 4758 be observed 7200 in your presence 6440 and the appearance 4758 of the youths 3206 who 834 are eating 398 the king's 4428 choice 6598 food 6598; and deal 6213 with your servants 5650 according to what 3512 you see 7200."
14 ¶ So he listened 8085 to them in this 2088 matter 1697 and tested 5254 them for ten 6235 days 3117.
15 At the end 7117 of ten 6235 days 3117 their appearance 4758 seemed 7200 better 2896 and they were fatter than 4480 all 3605 the youths 3206 who 834 had been eating 398 the king's 4428 choice 6598 food 6598.
16 So the overseer 4453 continued 1961 to withhold 5375 their choice 6598 food 6598 and the wine 3196 they were to drink 4960, and kept 5414 giving 5414 them vegetables 2235.
17 ¶ As for these 428 four 702 youths 3206, God 430 gave 5414 them knowledge 4093 and intelligence 7919 in every 3605 {branch of} literature 5612 and wisdom 2451; Daniel 1840 even understood 995 all 3605 {kinds of} visions 2377 and dreams 2472.
18 ¶ Then at the end 7117 of the days 3117 which 834 the king 4428 had specified 559 for presenting 935 them, the commander 8269 of the officials 5631 presented 935 them before 6440 Nebuchadnezzar 5019.
19 The king 4428 talked 1696 with them, and out of them all 3605 not one was found 4672 like Daniel 1840, Hananiah 2608, Mishael 4332 and Azariah 5838; so they entered 5975 the king's 4428 personal 6440 service.
20 As for every 3605 matter 1697 of wisdom 2451 and understanding 998 about which 834 the king 4428 consulted 1245 them, he found 4672 them ten 6235 times 3027 better 5921 than 5921 all 3605 the magicians 2748 {and} conjurers 825 who 834 {were} in all 3605 his realm 4438.
21 And Daniel 1840 continued 1961 until 5704 the first 259 year 8141 of Cyrus 3566 the king 4428.

The King's Forgotten Dream

Now in the second 8147 year 8141 of the reign 4438 of Nebuchadnezzar 5019, Nebuchadnezzar 5019 had 2492 dreams 2472; and his spirit 7307 was troubled 6470 and his sleep 8142 left 1961 him.
2 Then the king 4428 gave 559 orders 559 to call 7121 in the magicians 2748, the conjurers 825, the sorcerers 3784 and the Chaldeans 3778 to tell 5046 the king 4428 his dreams 2472. So they came 935 in and stood 5975 before 6440 the king 4428.
3 The king 4428 said 559 to them, "I had 2492 a dream 2472 and my spirit 7307 is anxious 6470 to understand 3045 the dream 2472."
4 ¶ Then the Chaldeans 3778 spoke 1696 to the king 4428 in Aramaic 762: "O king 4430, live 2418 forever 5957! Tell 560 the dream 2493 to your servants 5649, and we will declare 2331 the interpretation 6591."
5 The king 4430 replied 6032 to the Chaldeans 3779, "The command 4406 from me is firm 230: if 2006 you do not make 3046 known 3046 to me the dream 2493 and its interpretation 6591, you will be torn 5648 limb 1917 from limb and your houses 1005 will be made 7761 a rubbish 5122 heap 5122.
6 "But if 2006 you declare 2331 the dream 2493 and its interpretation 6591, you will receive 6902 from me gifts 4978 and a reward 5023 and great 7690 honor 3367; therefore 3861 declare 2331 to me the dream 2493 and its interpretation 6591."
7 They answered 6032 a second 8579 time 8579 and said 560, "Let the king 4430 tell 560 the dream 2493 to his servants 5649, and we will declare 2331 the interpretation 6591."
8 The king 4430 replied 6032, "I know 3046 for certain 3330 that you are bargaining 2084 for time 5732, inasmuch as you have seen 2370 that the command 4406 from me is firm 230,
9 that if 2006 you do not make 3046 the dream 2493 known 3046 to me, there is only one 2298 decree 1882 for you. For you have agreed 2164 together 2164 to speak 560 lying 3538 and corrupt 7844 words 4406 before 6925 me until the situation 5732 is changed 8133; therefore 3861 tell 560 me the dream 2493, that I may know 3046 that you can declare 2331 to me its interpretation 6591."
10 The Chaldeans 3779 answered 6032 the king 4430 and said 560, "There 383 is not a man 606 on earth 3007 who 1768 could 3202 declare 2331 the matter 4406 for the king 4430, inasmuch as no great 7229 king 4430 or ruler 7990 has {ever} asked 7593 anything 4406 like this 1836 of any 3606 magician 2749, conjurer 826 or Chaldean 3779.
11 "Moreover, the thing 4406 which 1768 the king 4430 demands 7593 is difficult 3358, and there 383 is no 3809 one 321 else 321 who 1768 could declare 2331 it to the king 4430 except 3861 gods 426, whose 1768 dwelling 4070 place 4094 is not with {mortal} flesh 1321."
12 ¶ Because of this 1836 the king 4430 became 1149 indignant 1149 and very 7690 furious 7108 and gave 560 orders 560 to destroy 7 all 3606 the wise 2445 men 2445 of Babylon 895.
13 So the decree 1882 went 5312 forth 5312 that the wise 2445 men 2445 should be slain 6992; and they looked 1156 for Daniel 1841 and his friends 2269 to kill 6992 {them.}
14 ¶ Then 116 Daniel 1841 replied 8421 with discretion 5843 and discernment 2942 to Arioch 746, the captain 7229 of the king's 4430 bodyguard 2877, who 1768 had gone 5312 forth 5312 to slay 6992 the wise 2445 men 2445 of Babylon 895;
15 he said 560 to Arioch 746, the king's 4430 commander 7990, "For what 4101 reason is the decree 1882 from the king 4430 {so} urgent 2685?" Then 116 Arioch 746 informed 3046 Daniel 1841 about the matter 4406.
16 So Daniel 1841 went 5954 in and requested 1156 of the king 4430 that he would give 5415 him time 2166, in order that he might declare 2331 the interpretation 6591 to the king 4430.
17 ¶ Then 116 Daniel 1841 went 236 to his house 1005 and informed 3046 his friends 2269, Hananiah 2608, Mishael 4331 and Azariah 5839, about the matter 4406,
18 so that they might request 1156 compassion 7359 from the God 426 of heaven 8065 concerning 5922 this 1836 mystery 7328, so 1768 that Daniel 1841 and his friends 2269 would not be destroyed 7 with the rest 7606 of the wise 2445 men 2445 of Babylon 895.
19

The Secret Is Revealed to Daniel

Then 116 the mystery 7328 was revealed 1541 to Daniel 1841 in a night 3916 vision 2376. Then 116 Daniel 1841 blessed 1289 the God 426 of heaven 8065;
20 Daniel 1841 said 560, "Let the name 8036 of God 426 be blessed 1289 forever 5957 and ever 5957, For wisdom 2452 and power 1370 belong to Him.
21 "It is He who changes 8133 the times 5732 and the epochs 2166; He removes 5709 kings 4430 and establishes 6966 kings 4430; He gives 3052 wisdom 2452 to wise 2445 men 2445 And knowledge 4486 to men of understanding 999.
22 "It is He who reveals 1541 the profound 5994 and hidden 5642 things 5642; He knows 3046 what 4101 is in the darkness 2816, And the light 5094 dwells 8271 with Him.
23 "To You, O God 426 of my fathers 2, I give 3029 thanks 3029 and praise 7624, For You have given 3052 me wisdom 2452 and power 1370; Even now 3705 You have made 3046 known 3046 to me what 1768 we requested 1156 of You, For You have made 3046 known 3046 to us the king's 4430 matter 4406."
24 ¶ Therefore, Daniel 1841 went 5954 in to Arioch 746, whom 1768 the king 4430 had appointed 4483 to destroy 7 the wise 2445 men 2445 of Babylon 895; he went 236 and spoke 560 to him as follows 3652: "Do not destroy 7 the wise 2445 men 2445 of Babylon 895! Take 5954 me into the king's 4430 presence 6925, and I will declare 2331 the interpretation 6591 to the king 4430."
25 ¶ Then 116 Arioch 746 hurriedly 927 brought 5954 Daniel 1841 into the king's 4430 presence 6925 and spoke 560 to him as follows 3652: "I have found 7912 a man 1400 among the exiles from Judah 3061 who 1768 can make 3046 the interpretation 6591 known 3046 to the king 4430!"
26 The king 4430 said 560 to Daniel 1841, whose 1768 name 8036 was Belteshazzar 1096, "Are you able 3546 to make 3046 known 3046 to me the dream 2493 which 1768 I have seen 2370 and its interpretation 6591?"
27 Daniel 1841 answered 6032 before 6925 the king 4430 and said 560, "As for the mystery 7328 about which 1768 the king 4430 has inquired 7593, neither 3809 wise 2445 men 2445, conjurers 826, magicians 2749 {nor} diviners 1505 are able 3202 to declare 2331 {it} to the king 4430.
28 "However 1297, there 383 is a God 426 in heaven 8065 who 1768 reveals 1541 mysteries 7328, and He has made 3046 known 3046 to King 4430 Nebuchadnezzar 5020 what 4101 will take 1934 place 1934 in the latter 320 days 3118. This 1836 was your dream 2493 and the visions 2376 in your mind 7217 {while} on your bed 4903.
29 "As for you, O king 4430, {while} on your bed 4903 your thoughts 7476 turned 5559 to what 4101 would take 1934 place 1934 in the future 311; and He who reveals 1541 mysteries 7328 has made 3046 known 3046 to you what 4101 will take 1934 place 1934.
30 "But as for me, this 1836 mystery 7328 has 383 not been revealed 1541 to me for any wisdom 2452 residing 383 in me more 4481 than 4481 {in} any 3606 {other} living 2417 man 2417, but for the purpose 1701 of making 3046 the interpretation 6591 known 3046 to the king 4430, and that you may understand 3046 the thoughts 7476 of your mind 3825.
31

The King's Dream

¶ "You, O king 4430, were looking 2370 and behold 431, there was a single 2298 great 7690 statue 6755; that statue 6755, which was large 7229 and of extraordinary 3493 splendor 2122, was standing 6966 in front 6903 of you, and its appearance 7299 was awesome 1763.
32 "The head 7217 of that statue 6755 {was made} of fine 2869 gold 1722, its breast 2306 and its arms 1872 of silver 3702, its belly 4577 and its thighs 3410 of bronze 5174,
33 its legs 8243 of iron 6523, its feet 7271 partly 4481 of iron 6523 and partly 4481 of clay 2635.
34 "You continued 1934 looking 2370 until a stone 69 was cut 1505 out without 3809 hands 3028, and it struck 4223 the statue 6755 on its feet 7271 of iron 6523 and clay 2635 and crushed 1855 them.
35 "Then 116 the iron 6523, the clay 2635, the bronze 5174, the silver 3702 and the gold 1722 were crushed 1855 all 3606 at the same 2298 time 2298 and became 1934 like chaff 5784 from the summer 7007 threshing 147 floors 147; and the wind 7308 carried 5376 them away so that not a trace 870 of them was found 7912. But the stone 69 that struck 4223 the statue 6755 became 1934 a great 7229 mountain 2906 and filled 4391 the whole 3606 earth 772.
36

The Interpretation--Babylon the First Kingdom

¶ "This 1836 {was} the dream 2493; now we will tell 560 its interpretation 6591 before 6925 the king 4430.
37 "You, O king 4430, are the king 4430 of kings 4430, to whom 1768 the God 426 of heaven 8065 has given 3052 the kingdom 4437, the power 2632, the strength 8632 and the glory 3367;
38 and wherever the sons 1123 of men 606 dwell 1753, {or} the beasts 2423 of the field 1251, or the birds 5776 of the sky 8065, He has given 3052 {them} into your hand 3028 and has caused you to rule 7981 over them all 3606. You are the head 7217 of gold 1722.
39

Medo-Persia and Greece

"After 870 you there will arise 6966 another 321 kingdom 4437 inferior 772 to you, then another 321 third 8523 kingdom 4437 of bronze 5174, which 1768 will rule 7981 over all 3606 the earth 772.
40

Rome

"Then there will be a fourth 7244 kingdom 4437 as strong 8624 as iron 6523; inasmuch as iron 6523 crushes 1855 and shatters 2827 all 3606 things 3606, so, like iron 6523 that breaks 7490 in pieces 7490, it will crush 1855 and break 7490 all 3606 these 459 in pieces 7490.
41 "In that you saw 2370 the feet 7271 and toes 677, partly 4481 of potter's 6353 clay 2635 and partly 4481 of iron 6523, it will be a divided 6386 kingdom 4437; but it will have 1934 in it the toughness 5326 of iron 6523, inasmuch as you saw 2370 the iron 6523 mixed 6151 with common 2917 clay 2635.
42 "{As} the toes 677 of the feet 7271 {were} partly 4481 of iron 6523 and partly 4481 of pottery 2635, {so} some of the kingdom 4437 will be strong 8624 and part 4481 of it will be brittle 8406.
43 "And in that you saw 2370 the iron 6523 mixed 6151 with common 2917 clay 2635, they will combine 6151 with one another in the seed 2234 of men 606; but they will not adhere 1693 to one another, even 1888 as iron 6523 does not combine 6151 with pottery 2635.
44

The Divine Kingdom

"In the days 3118 of those 581 kings 4430 the God 426 of heaven 8065 will set 6966 up a kingdom 4437 which 1768 will never be destroyed 2255, and {that} kingdom 4437 will not be left 7662 for another 312 people 5972; it will crush 1855 and put 5487 an end 5487 to all 3606 these 459 kingdoms 4437, but it will itself 1932 endure 6966 forever 5957.
45 "Inasmuch as you saw 2370 that a stone 69 was cut 1505 out of the mountain 2906 without 3809 hands 3028 and that it crushed 1855 the iron 6523, the bronze 5174, the clay 2635, the silver 3702 and the gold 1722, the great 7229 God 426 has made 3046 known 3046 to the king 4430 what 4101 will take 1934 place 1934 in the future 311; so the dream 2493 is true 3330 and its interpretation 6591 is trustworthy 540."
46

Daniel Promoted

¶ Then 116 King 4430 Nebuchadnezzar 5020 fell 5308 on his face 600 and did 5457 homage 5457 to Daniel 1841, and gave 560 orders 560 to present 5260 to him an offering 4504 and fragrant 5208 incense 5208.
47 The king 4430 answered 6032 Daniel 1841 and said 560, "Surely your God 426 is a God 426 of gods 426 and a Lord 4756 of kings 4430 and a revealer 1541 of mysteries 7328, since 1768 you have been 3202 able 3202 to reveal 1541 this 1836 mystery 7328."
48 Then 116 the king 4430 promoted 7236 Daniel 1841 and gave 3052 him many 7690 great 7229 gifts 4978, and he made 7981 him ruler 7981 over 5922 the whole 3606 province 4083 of Babylon 895 and chief 7229 prefect 5460 over 5922 all 3606 the wise 2445 men 2445 of Babylon 895.
49 And Daniel 1841 made 1156 request 1156 of the king 4430, and he appointed 4483 Shadrach 7715, Meshach 4336 and Abed-nego 5665 over 5922 the administration 5673 of the province 4083 of Babylon 895, while Daniel 1841 {was} at the king's 4430 court 8651.

The King's Golden Image

Nebuchadnezzar 5020 the king 4430 made 5648 an image 6755 of gold 1722, the height 7314 of which {was} sixty 8361 cubits 521 {and} its width 6613 six 8353 cubits 521; he set 6966 it up on the plain 1236 of Dura 1757 in the province 4083 of Babylon 895.
2 Then Nebuchadnezzar 5020 the king 4430 sent 7972 {word} to assemble 3673 the satraps 324, the prefects 5460 and the governors 6347, the counselors 148, the treasurers 1411, the judges 1884, the magistrates 8614 and all 3606 the rulers 7984 of the provinces 4083 to come 858 to the dedication 2597 of the image 6755 that Nebuchadnezzar 5020 the king 4430 had set 6966 up.
3 Then 116 the satraps 324, the prefects 5460 and the governors 6347, the counselors 148, the treasurers 1411, the judges 1884, the magistrates 8614 and all 3606 the rulers 7984 of the provinces 4083 were assembled 3673 for the dedication 2597 of the image 6755 that Nebuchadnezzar 5020 the king 4430 had set 6966 up; and they stood 6966 before 6903 the image 6755 that Nebuchadnezzar 5020 had set 6966 up.
4 Then the herald 3744 loudly 2429 proclaimed 7123: "To you the command 560 is given 560, O peoples 5972, nations 524 and {men of every} language 3961,
5 that at the moment 5732 you hear 8086 the sound 7032 of the horn 7162, flute 4953, lyre 7030, trigon 5443, psaltery 6460, bagpipe 5481 and all 3606 kinds 2178 of music 2170, you are to fall 5308 down 5308 and worship 5457 the golden 1722 image 6755 that Nebuchadnezzar 5020 the king 4430 has set 6966 up.
6 "But whoever 4479 does not fall 5308 down 5308 and worship 5457 shall immediately 8160 be cast 7412 into the midst 1459 of a furnace 861 of blazing 3345 fire 5135."
7 Therefore at that time 2166, when 1768 all 3606 the peoples 5972 heard 8086 the sound 7032 of the horn 7162, flute 4953, lyre 7030, trigon 5443, psaltery 6460, bagpipe 5481 and all 3606 kinds 2178 of music 2170, all 3606 the peoples 5972, nations 524 and {men of every} language 3961 fell 5308 down 5308 {and} worshiped 5457 the golden 1722 image 6755 that Nebuchadnezzar 5020 the king 4430 had set 6966 up.
8

Worship of the Image Refused

¶ For this 1836 reason at that time 2166 certain 1400 Chaldeans 3779 came 7127 forward 7127 and brought 399 charges 7170 against 1768 the Jews 3062.
9 They responded 6032 and said 560 to Nebuchadnezzar 5020 the king 4430: "O king 4430, live 2418 forever 5957!
10 "You, O king 4430, have made 7761 a decree 2942 that every 3606 man 606 who 1768 hears 8086 the sound 7032 of the horn 7162, flute 4953, lyre 7030, trigon 5443, psaltery 6460, and bagpipe 5481 and all 3606 kinds 2178 of music 2170, is to fall 5308 down 5308 and worship 5457 the golden 1722 image 6755.
11 "But whoever 4479 does not fall 5308 down 5308 and worship 5457 shall be cast 7412 into the midst 1459 of a furnace 861 of blazing 3345 fire 5135.
12 "There 383 are certain 1400 Jews 3062 whom 1768 you have appointed 4483 over 5922 the administration 5673 of the province 4083 of Babylon 895, {namely} Shadrach 7715, Meshach 4336 and Abed-nego 5665. These 479 men 1400, O king 4430, have disregarded you; they do not serve 6399 your gods 426 or worship 5457 the golden 1722 image 6755 which 1768 you have set 6966 up."
13 ¶ Then 116 Nebuchadnezzar 5020 in rage 7266 and anger 2528 gave 560 orders 560 to bring 858 Shadrach 7715, Meshach 4336 and Abed-nego 5665; then 116 these 479 men 1400 were brought 858 before 6925 the king 4430.
14 Nebuchadnezzar 5020 responded 6032 and said 560 to them, "Is it true 6656, Shadrach 7715, Meshach 4336 and Abed-nego 5665, that you do 383 not serve 6399 my gods 426 or worship 5457 the golden 1722 image 6755 that I have set 6966 up?
15 "Now 3705 if 2006 you are ready 6263, at the moment 5732 you hear 8086 the sound 7032 of the horn 7162, flute 4953, lyre 7030, trigon 5443, psaltery 6460 and bagpipe 5481 and all 3606 kinds 2178 of music 2170, to fall 5308 down 5308 and worship 5457 the image 6755 that I have made 5648, {very well.} But if 2006 you do not worship 5457, you will immediately 8160 be cast 7412 into the midst 1459 of a furnace 861 of blazing 3345 fire 5135; and what 4479 god 426 is there who 1768 can deliver 7804 you out of my hands 3028?"
16 ¶ Shadrach 7715, Meshach 4336 and Abed-nego 5665 replied 6032 to the king 4430, "O Nebuchadnezzar 5020, we do not need 2818 to give 8421 you an answer 6600 concerning 5922 this 1836 matter 6600.
17 "If 2006 it be {so,} our God 426 whom 1768 we serve 6399 is able 3202 to deliver 7804 us from the furnace 861 of blazing 3345 fire 5135; and He will deliver 7804 us out of your hand 3028, O king 4430.
18 "But {even} if 2006 {He does} not, let it be known 3046 to you, O king 4430, that we are not going to serve 6399 your gods 426 or worship 5457 the golden 1722 image 6755 that you have set 6966 up."
19

Daniel's Friends Protected

¶ Then 116 Nebuchadnezzar 5020 was filled 4391 with wrath 2528, and his facial 600 expression 6755 was altered 8133 toward 5922 Shadrach 7715, Meshach 4336 and Abed-nego 5665. He answered 6032 by giving 560 orders 560 to heat 228 the furnace 861 seven 7655 times 2298 more 5922 than it was usually 2370 heated 228.
20 He commanded 560 certain 1400 valiant 2429 warriors 1401 who 1768 {were} in his army 2429 to tie 3729 up Shadrach 7715, Meshach 4336 and Abed-nego 5665 in order to cast 7412 {them} into the furnace 861 of blazing 3345 fire 5135.
21 Then 116 these 479 men 1400 were tied 3729 up in their trousers 5622, their coats 6361, their caps 3737 and their {other} clothes 3831, and were cast 7412 into the midst 1459 of the furnace 861 of blazing 3345 fire 5135.
22 For this 1836 reason, because the king's 4430 command 4406 {was} urgent 2685 and the furnace 861 had been made 228 extremely 3493 hot 228, the flame 7631 of the fire 5135 slew 6992 those 479 men 1400 who 1768 carried 5559 up Shadrach 7715, Meshach 4336 and Abed-nego 5665.
23 But these 479 three 8532 men 1400, Shadrach 7715, Meshach 4336 and Abed-nego 5665, fell 5308 into the midst 1459 of the furnace 861 of blazing 3345 fire 5135 {still} tied 3729 up.
24 ¶ Then 116 Nebuchadnezzar 5020 the king 4430 was astounded 8429 and stood 6966 up in haste 927; he said 560 to his high 1907 officials 1907, "Was it not three 8532 men 1400 we cast 7412 bound 3729 into the midst 1459 of the fire 5135?" They replied 6032 to the king 4430, "Certainly 3330, O king 4430."
25 He said 560, "Look 1888! I see 2370 four 703 men 1400 loosed 8271 {and} walking 1981 {about} in the midst 1459 of the fire 5135 without 3809 harm 2257, and the appearance 7299 of the fourth 7244 is like 1821 a son 1247 of {the} gods 426!"
26 Then 116 Nebuchadnezzar 5020 came 7127 near 7127 to the door 8651 of the furnace 861 of blazing 3345 fire 5135; he responded 6032 and said 560, "Shadrach 7715, Meshach 4336 and Abed-nego 5665, come 5312 out, you servants 5649 of the Most 5943 High 5943 God 426, and come 858 here 5312!" Then 116 Shadrach 7715, Meshach 4336 and Abed-nego 5665 came 5312 out of the midst 1459 of the fire 5135.
27 The satraps 324, the prefects 5460, the governors 6347 and the king's 4430 high 1907 officials 1907 gathered 3673 around 3673 {and} saw 2370 in regard to these 479 men 1400 that the fire 5135 had 7981 no 3809 effect 7981 on the bodies 1655 of these men nor 3809 was the hair 8177 of their head 7217 singed 2761, nor 3809 were their trousers 5622 damaged 8133, nor 3809 had the smell 7382 of fire 5135 {even} come 5907 upon them.
28 ¶ Nebuchadnezzar 5020 responded 6032 and said 560, "Blessed 1289 be the God 426 of Shadrach 7715, Meshach 4336 and Abed-nego 5665, who 1768 has sent 7972 His angel 4398 and delivered 7804 His servants 5649 who 1768 put 7365 their trust 7365 in Him, violating 8133 the king's 4430 command 4406, and yielded 3052 up their bodies 1655 so 1768 as not to serve 6399 or worship 5457 any 3606 god 426 except 3861 their own God 426.
29 "Therefore I make 7761 a decree 2942 that any 3606 people 5972, nation 524 or tongue 3961 that speaks 560 anything offensive 7960 against 5922 the God 426 of Shadrach 7715, Meshach 4336 and Abed-nego 5665 shall be torn 5648 limb 1917 from limb and their houses 1005 reduced 7739 to a rubbish 5122 heap 5122, inasmuch as there 383 is no 3809 other 321 god 426 who 1768 is able 3202 to deliver 5338 in this 1836 way."
30 Then 116 the king 4430 caused Shadrach 7715, Meshach 4336 and Abed-nego 5665 to prosper 6744 in the province 4083 of Babylon 895.

The Vision of a Great Tree

¶ "I, Nebuchadnezzar 5020, was at ease 7954 in my house 1005 and flourishing 7487 in my palace 1965.
5 "I saw 2370 a dream 2493 and it made 1763 me fearful 1763; and {these} fantasies 2031 {as I lay} on my bed 4903 and the visions 2376 in my mind 7217 kept 927 alarming 927 me.
6 "So I gave 7761 orders 2942 to bring 5954 into my presence 6925 all 3606 the wise 2445 men 2445 of Babylon 895, that they might make 3046 known 3046 to me the interpretation 6591 of the dream 2493.
7 "Then 116 the magicians 2749, the conjurers 826, the Chaldeans 3779 and the diviners 1505 came 5954 in and I related 560 the dream 2493 to them, but they could not make 3046 its interpretation 6591 known 3046 to me.
8 "But finally 318 Daniel 1841 came 5954 in before 6925 me, whose 1768 name 8036 is Belteshazzar 1096 according to the name 8036 of my god 426, and in whom 1768 is a spirit 7308 of the holy 6922 gods 426; and I related 560 the dream 2493 to him, {saying,}
9 'O Belteshazzar 1096, chief 7229 of the magicians 2749, since 1768 I know 3046 that a spirit 7308 of the holy 6922 gods 426 is in you and no mystery 7328 baffles 598 you, tell 560 {me} the visions 2376 of my dream 2493 which 1768 I have seen 2370, along with its interpretation 6591.
10 ¶ 'Now {these were} the visions 2376 in my mind 7217 {as I lay} on my bed 4903: I was looking 2370, and behold 431, {there was} a tree 363 in the midst 1459 of the earth 772 and its height 7314 {was} great 7690.
11 'The tree 363 grew 7236 large 7236 and became 8631 strong 8631 And its height 7314 reached 4291 to the sky 8065, And it {was} visible 2379 to the end 5491 of the whole 3606 earth 772.
12 'Its foliage 6074 {was} beautiful 8209 and its fruit 4 abundant 7690, And in it {was} food 4203 for all 3606. The beasts 2423 of the field 1251 found 2927 shade 2927 under 8460 it, And the birds 6853 of the sky 8065 dwelt 1753 in its branches 6056, And all 3606 living 1321 creatures 1321 fed 2110 themselves from it.
13 ¶ 'I was looking 2370 in the visions 2376 in my mind 7217 {as I lay} on my bed 4903, and behold 431, an {angelic} watcher 5894, a holy 6922 one 6922, descended 5182 from heaven 8065.
14 'He shouted 7123 out and spoke 560 as follows 3652: "Chop 1414 down 1414 the tree 363 and cut 7113 off 7113 its branches 6056, Strip 5426 off 5426 its foliage 6074 and scatter 921 its fruit 4; Let the beasts 2423 flee 5111 from under 8460 it And the birds 6853 from its branches 6056.
15 "Yet 1297 leave 7662 the stump 6136 with its roots 8330 in the ground 772, But with a band 613 of iron 6523 and bronze 5174 {around it} In the new 1883 grass 1883 of the field 1251; And let him be drenched 6647 with the dew 2920 of heaven 8065, And let him share 2508 with the beasts 2423 in the grass 6212 of the earth 772.
16 "Let his mind 3825 be changed 8133 from {that of} a man 606 And let a beast's 2423 mind 3825 be given 3052 to him, And let seven 7655 periods of time 5732 pass 2499 over 5922 him.
17 "This sentence 6600 is by the decree 1510 of the {angelic} watchers 5894 And the decision 7595 is a command 3983 of the holy 6922 ones 6922, In order that the living 2417 may know 3046 That the Most 5943 High 5943 is ruler 7990 over the realm 4437 of mankind 606, And bestows 5415 it on whom He wishes 6634 And sets 6966 over 5922 it the lowliest 8215 of men 606."
18 'This 1836 is the dream 2493 {which} I, King 4430 Nebuchadnezzar 5020, have seen 2370. Now you, Belteshazzar 1096, tell 560 {me} its interpretation 6591, inasmuch as none of the wise 2445 men 2445 of my kingdom 4437 is able 3202 to make 3046 known 3046 to me the interpretation 6591; but you are able 3546, for a spirit 7308 of the holy 6922 gods 426 is in you.'
19

Daniel Interprets the Vision

¶ "Then 116 Daniel 1841, whose 1768 name 8036 is Belteshazzar 1096, was appalled 8075 for a while 8160 as his thoughts 7476 alarmed 927 him. The king 4430 responded 6032 and said 560, 'Belteshazzar 1096, do not let the dream 2493 or its interpretation 6591 alarm 927 you.' Belteshazzar 1096 replied 6032, 'My lord 4756, {if only} the dream 2493 applied to those who hate 8131 you and its interpretation 6591 to your adversaries 6146!
20 'The tree 363 that you saw 2370, which 1768 became 7236 large 7236 and grew 8631 strong 8631, whose height 7314 reached 4291 to the sky 8065 and was visible 2379 to all 3606 the earth 772
21 and whose foliage 6074 {was} beautiful 8209 and its fruit 4 abundant 7690, and in which {was} food 4203 for all 3606, under 8460 which the beasts 2423 of the field 1251 dwelt 1753 and in whose branches 6056 the birds 6853 of the sky 8065 lodged 7932--
22 it is you, O king 4430; for you have become 7236 great 7236 and grown 8631 strong 8631, and your majesty 7238 has become 7236 great 7236 and reached 4291 to the sky 8065 and your dominion 7985 to the end 5491 of the earth 772.
23 'In that the king 4430 saw 2370 an {angelic} watcher 5894, a holy 6922 one 6922, descending 5182 from heaven 8065 and saying 560, "Chop 1414 down 1414 the tree 363 and destroy 2255 it; yet 1297 leave 7662 the stump 6136 with its roots 8330 in the ground 772, but with a band 613 of iron 6523 and bronze 5174 {around it} in the new 1883 grass 1883 of the field 1251, and let him be drenched 6647 with the dew 2920 of heaven 8065, and let him share 2508 with the beasts 2423 of the field 1251 until seven 7655 periods of time 5732 pass 2499 over 5922 him,"
24 this 1836 is the interpretation 6591, O king 4430, and this 1932 is the decree 1510 of the Most 5943 High 5943, which 1768 has come 4291 upon my lord 4756 the king 4430:
25 that you be driven 2957 away 2957 from mankind 606 and your dwelling 4070 place 4070 be with the beasts 2423 of the field 1251, and you be given 2939 grass 6212 to eat 2939 like cattle 8450 and be drenched 6647 with the dew 2920 of heaven 8065; and seven 7655 periods of time 5732 will pass 2499 over 5922 you, until you recognize 3046 that the Most 5943 High 5943 is ruler 7990 over the realm 4437 of mankind 606 and bestows 5415 it on whomever He wishes 6634.
26 'And in that it was commanded 560 to leave 7662 the stump 6136 with the roots 8330 of the tree 363, your kingdom 4437 will be assured 7011 to you after you recognize 3046 that {it is} Heaven 8065 {that} rules 7990.
27 'Therefore 3861, O king 4430, may my advice 4431 be pleasing 8232 to you: break 6562 away 6562 now from your sins 2408 by {doing} righteousness 6665 and from your iniquities 5758 by showing 2604 mercy 2604 to {the} poor 6040, in case 2006 there may be a prolonging 754 of your prosperity 7963.'
28

The Vision Fulfilled

¶ "All 3606 {this} happened 4291 to Nebuchadnezzar 5020 the king 4430.
29 "Twelve months 3393 later 7118 he was walking 1981 on the {roof of} the royal 4437 palace 1965 of Babylon 895.
30 "The king 4430 reflected 6032 and said 560, 'Is this 1668 not Babylon 895 the great 7229, which 1768 I myself 576 have built 1124 as a royal 4437 residence 1005 by the might 8632 of my power 2632 and for the glory 3367 of my majesty 1923?'
31 "While 5751 the word 4406 {was} in the king's 4430 mouth 6433, a voice 7032 came 5308 from heaven 8065, {saying,} 'King 4430 Nebuchadnezzar 5020, to you it is declared 560: sovereignty 4437 has been 5709 removed 5709 from you,
32 and you will be driven 2957 away 2957 from mankind 606, and your dwelling 4070 place 4070 {will be} with the beasts 2423 of the field 1251. You will be given 2939 grass 6212 to eat 2939 like cattle 8450, and seven 7655 periods of time 5732 will pass 2499 over 5922 you until you recognize 3046 that the Most 5943 High 5943 is ruler 7990 over the realm 4437 of mankind 606 and bestows 5415 it on whomever He wishes 6634.'
33 "Immediately 8160 the word 4406 concerning 5922 Nebuchadnezzar 5020 was fulfilled 5487; and he was driven 2957 away 2957 from mankind 606 and began eating 399 grass 6212 like cattle 8450, and his body 1655 was drenched 6647 with the dew 2920 of heaven 8065 until his hair 8177 had grown 7236 like eagles' 5403 {feathers} and his nails 2953 like birds' 6853 {claws.}
34 ¶ "But at the end 7118 of that period 3118, I, Nebuchadnezzar 5020, raised 5191 my eyes 5870 toward heaven 8065 and my reason 4486 returned 8421 to me, and I blessed 1289 the Most 5943 High 5943 and praised 7624 and honored 1922 Him who 2417 lives 2417 forever 5957; For His dominion 7985 is an everlasting 5957 dominion 7985, And His kingdom 4437 {endures} from generation 1859 to generation 1859.
35 "All 3606 the inhabitants 1753 of the earth 772 are accounted 2804 as nothing 3809, But He does 5648 according 4481 to His will 6634 in the host 2429 of heaven 8065 And {among} the inhabitants 1753 of earth 772; And no 3809 one can ward 4223 off 4223 His hand 3028 Or say 560 to Him, 'What 4101 have You done 5648?'
36 "At that time 2166 my reason 4486 returned 8421 to me. And my majesty 1923 and splendor 2122 were restored 8421 to me for the glory 3367 of my kingdom 4437, and my counselors 1907 and my nobles 7261 began seeking 1156 me out; so I was reestablished 8627 in my sovereignty 4437, and surpassing 3493 greatness 7238 was added 3255 to me.
37 "Now 3705 I, Nebuchadnezzar 5020, praise 7624, exalt 7313 and honor 1922 the King 4430 of heaven 8065, for all 3606 His works 4567 are true 7187 and His ways 735 just 1780, and He is able 3202 to humble 8214 those who 1768 walk 1981 in pride 1467."

Belshazzar's Feast

Belshazzar 1113 the king 4430 held 5648 a great 7229 feast 3900 for a thousand 506 of his nobles 7261, and he was drinking 8355 wine 2562 in the presence 6903 of the thousand 506.
2 When Belshazzar 1113 tasted 2942 the wine 2562, he gave 560 orders 560 to bring 858 the gold 1722 and silver 3702 vessels 3984 which 1768 Nebuchadnezzar 5020 his father 2 had taken 5312 out of the temple 1965 which 1768 {was} in Jerusalem 3390, so that the king 4430 and his nobles 7261, his wives 7695 and his concubines 3904 might drink 8355 from them.
3 Then 116 they brought 858 the gold 1722 vessels 3984 that had been taken 5312 out of the temple 1965, the house 1005 of God 426 which 1768 {was} in Jerusalem 3390; and the king 4430 and his nobles 7261, his wives 7695 and his concubines 3904 drank 8355 from them.
4 They drank 8355 the wine 2562 and praised 7624 the gods 426 of gold 1722 and silver 3702, of bronze 5174, iron 6523, wood 636 and stone 69.
5 ¶ Suddenly 8160 the fingers 677 of a man's 606 hand 3028 emerged 5312 and began writing 3790 opposite 6903 the lampstand 5043 on the plaster 1528 of the wall 3797 of the king's 4430 palace 1965, and the king 4430 saw 2370 the back 6447 of the hand 3028 that did the writing 3790.
6 Then 116 the king's 4430 face 2122 grew 8133 pale 8133 and his thoughts 7476 alarmed 927 him, and his hip 2783 joints 7001 went 8271 slack 8271 and his knees 755 began knocking 5368 together 1668.
7 The king 4430 called 7123 aloud 2429 to bring 5954 in the conjurers 826, the Chaldeans 3779 and the diviners 1505. The king 4430 spoke 6032 and said 560 to the wise 2445 men 2445 of Babylon 895, "Any 3606 man 606 who 1768 can read 7123 this 1836 inscription 3792 and explain 2331 its interpretation 6591 to me shall be clothed 3848 with purple 711 and {have} a necklace 2002 of gold 1722 around 5922 his neck 6676, and have 7981 authority 7981 as third 8533 {ruler} in the kingdom 4437."
8 Then 116 all 3606 the king's 4430 wise 2445 men 2445 came 5954 in, but they could 3546 not read 7123 the inscription 3792 or make 3046 known 3046 its interpretation 6591 to the king 4430.
9 Then 116 King 4430 Belshazzar 1113 was greatly 7690 alarmed 927, his face 2122 grew 8133 {even} paler 8133, and his nobles 7261 were perplexed 7672.
10 ¶ The queen 4433 entered 5954 the banquet 4961 hall 1005 because 6903 of the words 4406 of the king 4430 and his nobles 7261; the queen 4433 spoke 6032 and said 560, "O king 4430, live 2418 forever 5957! Do not let your thoughts 7476 alarm 927 you or your face 2122 be pale 8133.
11 "There 383 is a man 1400 in your kingdom 4437 in whom 1768 is a spirit 7308 of the holy 6922 gods 426; and in the days 3118 of your father 2, illumination 5094, insight 7924 and wisdom 2452 like the wisdom 2452 of the gods 426 were found 7912 in him. And King 4430 Nebuchadnezzar 5020, your father 2, your father 2 the king 4430, appointed 6966 him chief 7229 of the magicians 2749, conjurers 826, Chaldeans 3779 {and} diviners 1505.
12 "{This was} because an extraordinary 3493 spirit 7308, knowledge 4486 and insight 7924, interpretation 6590 of dreams 2493, explanation 263 of enigmas 280 and solving 8271 of difficult 7001 problems 7001 were found 7912 in this Daniel 1841, whom 1768 the king 4430 named 8036 Belteshazzar 1096. Let Daniel 1841 now 3705 be summoned 7123 and he will declare 2331 the interpretation 6591."
13

Daniel Interprets Handwriting on the Wall

¶ Then 116 Daniel 1841 was brought 5954 in before 6925 the king 4430. The king 4430 spoke 6032 and said 560 to Daniel 1841, "Are you that Daniel 1841 who 1768 is one of the exiles from Judah 3061, whom 1768 my father 2 the king 4430 brought 858 from Judah 3061?
14 "Now I have heard 8086 about 5922 you that a spirit 7308 of the gods 426 is in you, and that illumination 5094, insight 7924 and extraordinary 3493 wisdom 2452 have been found 7912 in you.
15 "Just now 3705 the wise 2445 men 2445 {and} the conjurers 826 were brought 5954 in before 6925 me that they might read 7123 this 1836 inscription 3792 and make 3046 its interpretation 6591 known 3046 to me, but they could 3546 not declare 2331 the interpretation 6591 of the message 4406.
16 "But I personally 576 have heard 8086 about 5922 you, that you are able 3202 to give 6590 interpretations 6590 and solve 8271 difficult 7001 problems 7001. Now 3705 if 2006 you are able 3202 to read 7123 the inscription 3792 and make 3046 its interpretation 6591 known 3046 to me, you will be clothed 3848 with purple 711 and {wear} a necklace 2002 of gold 1722 around 5922 your neck 6676, and you will have 7981 authority 7981 as the third 8531 {ruler} in the kingdom 4437."
17 ¶ Then 116 Daniel 1841 answered 6032 and said 560 before 6925 the king 4430, "Keep your gifts 4978 for yourself or give 3052 your rewards 5023 to someone 321 else 321; however 1297, I will read 7123 the inscription 3792 to the king 4430 and make 3046 the interpretation 6591 known 3046 to him.
18 "O king 4430, the Most 5943 High 5943 God 426 granted 3052 sovereignty 4437, grandeur 7238, glory 3367 and majesty 1923 to Nebuchadnezzar 5020 your father 2.
19 "Because 4481 of the grandeur 7238 which 1768 He bestowed 3052 on him, all 3606 the peoples 5972, nations 524 and {men of every} language 3961 feared 1763 and trembled 2112 before 6925 him; whomever 1768 he wished 6634 he killed 6992 and whomever 1768 he wished 6634 he spared 2418 alive 2418; and whomever 1768 he wished 6634 he elevated 7313 and whomever 1768 he wished 6634 he humbled 8214.
20 "But when 1768 his heart 3825 was lifted 7313 up and his spirit 7308 became 8631 so proud 8631 that he behaved 2103 arrogantly 2103, he was deposed 5182 from his royal 4437 throne 3764 and {his} glory 3367 was taken 5709 away 5709 from him.
21 "He was also driven 2957 away 2957 from mankind 606, and his heart 3825 was made 7739 like {that of} beasts 2423, and his dwelling 4070 place 4070 {was} with the wild 6167 donkeys 6167. He was given 2939 grass 6212 to eat 2939 like cattle 8450, and his body 1655 was drenched 6647 with the dew 2920 of heaven 8065 until he recognized 3046 that the Most 5943 High 5943 God 426 is ruler 7990 over the realm 4437 of mankind 606 and {that} He sets 6966 over 5922 it whomever He wishes 6634.
22 "Yet you, his son 1247, Belshazzar 1113, have not humbled 8214 your heart 3825, even 1768 though 6903 you knew 3046 all 3606 this 1836,
23 but you have exalted 7313 yourself against 5922 the Lord 4756 of heaven 8065; and they have brought 858 the vessels 3984 of His house 1005 before 6925 you, and you and your nobles 7261, your wives 7695 and your concubines 3904 have been drinking 8355 wine 2562 from them; and you have praised 7624 the gods 426 of silver 3702 and gold 1722, of bronze 5174, iron 6523, wood 636 and stone 69, which 1768 do not see 7200, hear 8086 or understand 3046. But the God 426 in whose 1768 hand 3028 are your life-breath 5396 and all your ways 735, you have not glorified 1922.
24 "Then 116 the hand 3028 was sent 7972 from Him and this 1836 inscription 3792 was written 7560 out.
25 ¶ "Now this 1836 is the inscription 3792 that was written 7560 out: 'MENE 4484, MENE 4484, TEKEL 8625, UPHARSIN 6537.'
26 "This 1836 is the interpretation 6591 of the message 4406: 'MENE 4484'--God 426 has numbered 4483 your kingdom 4437 and put 8000 an end 8000 to it.
27 " 'TEKEL 8625'--you have been weighed 8625 on the scales 3977 and found 7912 deficient 2627.
28 " 'PERES 6537'--your kingdom 4437 has been 6537 divided 6537 and given 3052 over to the Medes 4076 and Persians 6540."
29 ¶ Then 116 Belshazzar 1113 gave 560 orders 560, and they clothed 3848 Daniel 1841 with purple 711 and {put} a necklace 2002 of gold 1722 around 5922 his neck 6676, and issued 3745 a proclamation 3745 concerning 5922 him that he {now} had 1934 authority 7990 as the third 8531 {ruler} in the kingdom 4437.
30 ¶ That same night 3916 Belshazzar 1113 the Chaldean 3779 king 4430 was slain 6992.
31 So Darius 1868 the Mede 4077 received 6902 the kingdom 4437 at about the age of sixty-two.

Daniel Serves Darius

It seemed 8232 good 8232 to Darius 1868 to appoint 6966 120 satraps 324 over 5922 the kingdom 4437, that they would be in charge of the whole 3606 kingdom 4437,
2 and over 5924 them three 8532 commissioners 5632 (of whom 1768 Daniel 1841 was one 2298), that these 459 satraps 324 might be accountable 2942 to them, and that the king 4430 might not suffer 5142 loss 5142.
3 Then 116 this 1836 Daniel 1841 began distinguishing 5330 himself among 5922 the commissioners 5632 and satraps 324 because he possessed an extraordinary 3493 spirit 7308, and the king 4430 planned 6246 to appoint 6966 him over 5922 the entire 3606 kingdom 4437.
4 Then 116 the commissioners 5632 and satraps 324 began trying 1156 to find 7912 a ground 5931 of accusation 5931 against Daniel 1841 in regard 6655 to government 4437 affairs 4437; but they could 3202 find 7912 no ground 5931 of accusation 5931 or {evidence of} corruption 7844, inasmuch as he was faithful 540, and no negligence 7960 or corruption 7844 was {to be} found 7912 in him.
5 Then 116 these 479 men 1400 said 560, "We will not find 7912 any 3606 ground 5931 of accusation 5931 against this 1836 Daniel 1841 unless 3861 we find 7912 {it} against 5922 him with regard to the law 1882 of his God 426."
6 ¶ Then 116 these 459 commissioners 5632 and satraps 324 came 7284 by agreement 7284 to the king 4430 and spoke 560 to him as follows 3652: "King 4430 Darius 1868, live 2418 forever 5957!
7 "All 3606 the commissioners 5632 of the kingdom 4437, the prefects 5460 and the satraps 324, the high 1907 officials 1907 and the governors 6347 have consulted 3272 together 3272 that the king 4430 should establish 6966 a statute 7010 and enforce 8631 an injunction 633 that anyone 3605 who 1768 makes 1156 a petition 1159 to any 3606 god 426 or man 606 besides you, O king 4430, for thirty 8533 days 3118, shall be cast 7412 into the lions' 744 den 1358.
8 "Now 3705, O king 4430, establish 6966 the injunction 633 and sign 7560 the document 3792 so 1768 that it may not be changed 8133, according to the law 1882 of the Medes 4076 and Persians 6540, which 1768 may not be revoked 5709."
9 Therefore King 4430 Darius 1868 signed 7560 the document 3792, that is, the injunction 633.
10 ¶ Now when 1768 Daniel 1841 knew 3046 that the document 3792 was signed 7560, he entered 5954 his house 1005 (now in his roof 5952 chamber 5952 he had windows 3551 open 6606 toward 5049 Jerusalem 3390); and he continued kneeling 1289 on his knees 1291 three 8532 times 2166 a day 3118, praying 6739 and giving 3029 thanks 3029 before 6925 his God 426, as he had been doing 5648 previously 6928.
11 Then 116 these 479 men 1400 came 7284 by agreement 7284 and found 7912 Daniel 1841 making 1156 petition 1156 and supplication 2604 before 6925 his God 426.
12 Then 116 they approached 7127 and spoke 560 before 6925 the king 4430 about 5922 the king's 4430 injunction 633, "Did you not sign 7560 an injunction 633 that any 3606 man 606 who 1768 makes 1156 a petition 1156 to any 3606 god 426 or man 606 besides you, O king 4430, for thirty 8533 days 3118, is to be cast 7412 into the lions' 744 den 1358?" The king 4430 replied 6032, "The statement 4406 is true 3330, according to the law 1882 of the Medes 4076 and Persians 6540, which 1768 may not be revoked 5709."
13 Then 116 they answered 6032 and spoke 560 before 6925 the king 4430, "Daniel 1841, who 1768 is one of the exiles from Judah 3061, pays 7761 no 3809 attention 7761 to you, O king 4430, or to the injunction 633 which 1768 you signed 7560, but keeps making 1156 his petition 1159 three 8532 times 2166 a day 3118."
14 ¶ Then 116, as soon 1768 as the king 4430 heard 8086 this statement 4406, he was deeply 7690 distressed 888 and set 7761 {his} mind 1079 on delivering 7804 Daniel 1841; and even until 5705 sunset he kept exerting 7712 himself to rescue 5338 him.
15 Then 116 these 479 men 1400 came 7284 by agreement 7284 to the king 4430 and said 560 to the king 4430, "Recognize 3046, O king 4430, that it is a law 1882 of the Medes 4076 and Persians 6540 that no injunction 633 or statute 7010 which 1768 the king 4430 establishes 6966 may be changed 8133."
16

Daniel in the Lions' Den

¶ Then 116 the king 4430 gave 560 orders 560, and Daniel 1841 was brought 858 in and cast 7412 into the lions' 744 den 1358. The king 4430 spoke 6032 and said 560 to Daniel 1841, "Your God 426 whom 1768 you constantly 8411 serve 6399 will Himself 1932 deliver 7804 you."
17 A stone 69 was brought 858 and laid 7761 over 5922 the mouth 6433 of the den 1358; and the king 4430 sealed 2857 it with his own signet 5824 ring 5824 and with the signet 5824 rings 5824 of his nobles 7261, so 1768 that nothing would be changed 8133 in regard to Daniel 1841.
18 Then 116 the king 4430 went 236 off 236 to his palace 1965 and spent 1006 the night 1006 fasting 2908, and no 3809 entertainment 1761 was brought 5954 before 6925 him; and his sleep 8139 fled 5075 from him.
19 ¶ Then 116 the king 4430 arose 6966 at dawn 8238, at the break 5053 of day 5053, and went 236 in haste 927 to the lions' 744 den 1358.
20 When he had come 7127 near 7127 the den 1358 to Daniel 1841, he cried 2200 out with a troubled 6088 voice 7032. The king 4430 spoke 6032 and said 560 to Daniel 1841, "Daniel 1841, servant 5649 of the living 2417 God 426, has your God 426, whom 1768 you constantly 8411 serve 6399, been 3202 able 3202 to deliver 7804 you from the lions 744?"
21 Then 116 Daniel 1841 spoke 4449 to the king 4430, "O king 4430, live 2418 forever 5957!
22 "My God 426 sent 7972 His angel 4398 and shut 5463 the lions' 744 mouths 6433 and they have not harmed 2255 me, inasmuch as I was found 7912 innocent 2136 before 6925 Him; and also 638 toward 6925 you, O king 4430, I have committed 5648 no 3809 crime 2248."
23 Then 116 the king 4430 was very 7690 pleased 2868 and gave 560 orders 560 for Daniel 1841 to be taken 5559 up out of the den 1358. So Daniel 1841 was taken 5559 up out of the den 1358 and no injury 2257 whatever 3606 was found 7912 on him, because 1768 he had trusted 540 in his God 426.
24 The king 4430 then gave 560 orders 560, and they brought 858 those 479 men 1400 who 1768 had maliciously accused Daniel 1841, and they cast 7412 them, their children 1123 and their wives 5389 into the lions' 744 den 1358; and they had not reached 4291 the bottom 773 of the den 1358 before the lions 744 overpowered 7981 them and crushed 1855 all 3606 their bones 1635.
25 ¶ Then 116 Darius 1868 the king 4430 wrote 3790 to all 3606 the peoples 5972, nations 524 and {men of every} language 3961 who 1768 were living 1753 in all 3606 the land 772: "May your peace 8001 abound 7680!
26 "I make 7761 a decree 2942 that in all 3606 the dominion 7985 of my kingdom 4437 men are to fear 1763 and tremble 2112 before the God 426 of Daniel 1841; For He is the living 2417 God 426 and enduring 7011 forever 5957, And His kingdom 4437 is one which 1768 will not be destroyed 2255, And His dominion 7985 {will be} forever 5491.
27 "He delivers 7804 and rescues 5338 and performs 5648 signs 852 and wonders 8540 In heaven 8065 and on earth 772, Who 1768 has {also} delivered 7804 Daniel 1841 from the power 3028 of the lions 744."
28 ¶ So this 1836 Daniel 1841 enjoyed 6744 success 6744 in the reign 4437 of Darius 1868 and in the reign 4437 of Cyrus 3567 the Persian 6543.

Vision of the Four Beasts

In the first 2298 year 8140 of Belshazzar 1113 king 4430 of Babylon 895 Daniel 1841 saw 2370 a dream 2493 and visions 2376 in his mind 7217 {as he lay} on his bed 4903; then 116 he wrote 3790 the dream 2493 down 3790 {and} related 560 the {following} summary 7217 of it.
2 Daniel 1841 said, "I was looking 2370 in my vision 2376 by night 3916, and behold 718, the four 703 winds 7308 of heaven 8065 were stirring 1519 up the great 7229 sea 3221.
3 "And four 703 great 7229 beasts 2423 were coming 5559 up from the sea 3221, different 8133 from one 1668 another 1668.
4 "The first 6933 {was} like a lion 744 and had {the} wings 1611 of an eagle 5403. I kept 1934 looking 2370 until its wings 1611 were plucked 4804, and it was lifted 5191 up from the ground 772 and made 6966 to stand 6966 on two feet 7271 like a man 606; a human 606 mind 3825 also was given 3052 to it.
5 "And behold 718, another 321 beast 2423, a second 8578 one, resembling 1821 a bear 1678. And it was raised 6966 up on one 2298 side 7859, and three 8532 ribs 5967 {were} in its mouth 6433 between 997 its teeth 8128; and thus 3652 they said 560 to it, 'Arise 6966, devour 399 much 7690 meat 1321!'
6 "After 870 this 1836 I kept 1934 looking 2370, and behold 718, another 321 one, like a leopard 5245, which 1768 had on its back 1355 four 703 wings 1611 of a bird 5776; the beast 2423 also had four 703 heads 7217, and dominion 7985 was given 3052 to it.
7 "After 870 this 1836 I kept 1934 looking 2370 in the night 3916 visions 2376, and behold 718, a fourth 7244 beast 2423, dreadful 1763 and terrifying 368 and extremely 3493 strong 8624; and it had large 7229 iron 6523 teeth 8128. It devoured 399 and crushed 1855 and trampled 7512 down 7512 the remainder 7606 with its feet 7271; and it was different 8133 from all 3606 the beasts 2423 that were before 6925 it, and it had ten 6236 horns 7162.
8 "While I was contemplating 7920 the horns 7162, behold 431, another 321 horn 7162, a little 2192 one 2192, came 5559 up among 997 them, and three 8532 of the first 6933 horns 7162 were pulled 6132 out by the roots 6132 before it; and behold 431, this 1668 horn 7162 possessed eyes 5870 like the eyes 5870 of a man 606 and a mouth 6433 uttering 4449 great 7229 {boasts.}

The Ancient of Days Reigns

¶ "I kept 1934 looking 2370 Until thrones 3764 were set 7412 up, And the Ancient 6268 of Days 3118 took 3488 {His} seat 3488; His vesture 3831 {was} like white 2358 snow 8517 And the hair 8177 of His head 7217 like pure 5343 wool 6015. His throne 3764 {was} ablaze 7631 with flames 7631, Its wheels 1535 {were} a burning 1815 fire 5135.
10 "A river 5103 of fire 5135 was flowing 5047 And coming 5312 out from before 6925 Him; Thousands 506 upon thousands 506 were attending 8120 Him, And myriads 7240 upon myriads 7240 were standing 6966 before 6925 Him; The court 1780 sat 3488, And the books 5609 were opened 6606.
11 "Then 116 I kept 1934 looking 2370 because 4481 of the sound 7032 of the boastful 7229 words 4406 which 1768 the horn 7162 was speaking 4449; I kept 1934 looking 2370 until the beast 2423 was slain 6992, and its body 1655 was destroyed 7 and given 3052 to the burning 3346 fire 785.
12 "As for the rest 7606 of the beasts 2423, their dominion 7985 was taken 5709 away 5709, but an extension 754 of life 2417 was granted 3052 to them for an appointed 2166 period 2166 of time 5732.
13

The Son of Man Presented

¶ "I kept 1934 looking 2370 in the night 3916 visions 2376, And behold 718, with the clouds 6050 of heaven 8065 One like a Son 1247 of Man 606 was coming 858, And He came 4291 up to the Ancient 6268 of Days 3118 And was presented 7127 before 6925 Him.
14 "And to Him was given 3052 dominion 7985, Glory 3367 and a kingdom 4437, That all 3606 the peoples 5972, nations 524 and {men of every} language 3961 Might serve 6399 Him. His dominion 7985 is an everlasting 5957 dominion 7985 Which 1768 will not pass 5709 away 5709; And His kingdom 4437 is one Which 1768 will not be destroyed 2255.
15

The Vision Interpreted

¶ "As for me, Daniel 1841, my spirit 7308 was distressed 3735 within 1459 me, and the visions 2376 in my mind 7217 kept alarming 927 me.
16 "I approached 7127 one 2298 of those who were standing 6966 by and began asking 1156 him the exact 3330 meaning 3330 of all 3606 this 1836. So he told 560 me and made 3046 known 3046 to me the interpretation 6591 of these things 4406:
17 'These 459 great 7229 beasts 2423, which 1768 are four 703 {in number,} are four 703 kings 4430 {who} will arise 6966 from the earth 772.
18 'But the saints 6922 of the Highest 5946 One 5946 will receive 6902 the kingdom 4437 and possess 2631 the kingdom 4437 forever 5957, for all 5957 ages 5957 to come 5957.'
19 ¶ "Then 116 I desired 6634 to know 3321 the exact 3321 meaning 3321 of the fourth 7244 beast 2423, which 1768 was different 8133 from all 3606 the others, exceedingly 3493 dreadful 1763, with its teeth 8128 of iron 6523 and its claws 2953 of bronze 5174, {and which} devoured 399, crushed 1855 and trampled 7512 down 7512 the remainder 7606 with its feet 7271,
20 and {the meaning} of the ten 6236 horns 7162 that {were} on its head 7217 and the other 321 {horn} which 1768 came 5559 up, and before which three 8532 {of them} fell 5308, namely, that horn 7162 which had eyes 5870 and a mouth 6433 uttering 4449 great 7229 {boasts} and which was larger 7229 in appearance 2376 than 4481 its associates 2273.
21 "I kept 1934 looking 2370, and that horn 7162 was waging 5648 war 7129 with the saints 6922 and overpowering 3202 them
22 until the Ancient 6268 of Days 3118 came 858 and judgment 1780 was passed 3052 in favor of the saints 6922 of the Highest 5946 One 5946, and the time 2166 arrived 4291 when the saints 6922 took 2631 possession 2631 of the kingdom 4437.
23 ¶ "Thus 3652 he said 560: 'The fourth 7244 beast 2423 will be a fourth 7244 kingdom 4437 on the earth 772, which 1768 will be different 8133 from all 3606 the {other} kingdoms 4437 and will devour 399 the whole 3606 earth 772 and tread 1759 it down 1759 and crush 1855 it.
24 'As for the ten 6236 horns 7162, out of this kingdom 4437 ten 6236 kings 4430 will arise 6966; and another 321 will arise 6966 after 311 them, and he will be different 8133 from the previous 6933 ones 6933 and will subdue 8214 three 8532 kings 4430.
25 'He will speak 4449 out against 6655 the Most 5943 High 5943 and wear 1080 down 1080 the saints 6922 of the Highest 5946 One 5946, and he will intend 5452 to make 8133 alterations 8133 in times 2166 and in law 1882; and they will be given 3052 into his hand 3028 for a time 5732, times 5732, and half 6387 a time 5732.
26 'But the court 1780 will sit 3488 {for judgment,} and his dominion 7985 will be taken 5709 away 5709, annihilated 8046 and destroyed 7 forever 5491.
27 'Then the sovereignty 4437, the dominion 7985 and the greatness 7238 of {all} the kingdoms 4437 under 8460 the whole 3606 heaven 8065 will be given 3052 to the people 5972 of the saints 6922 of the Highest 5946 One 5946; His kingdom 4437 {will be} an everlasting 5957 kingdom 4437, and all 3606 the dominions 7985 will serve 6399 and obey 8086 Him.'
28 ¶ "At this 3542 point 3542 the revelation 4406 ended 5491. As for me, Daniel 1841, my thoughts 7476 were greatly 7690 alarming 927 me and my face 2122 grew 8133 pale 8133, but I kept 5202 the matter 4406 to myself 3821."

Vision of the Ram and Goat

In the third 7969 year 8141 of the reign 4438 of Belshazzar 1112 the king 4428 a vision 2377 appeared 7200 to me, Daniel 1840, subsequent 310 to the one which appeared 7200 to me previously 8462.
2 I looked 7200 in the vision 2377, and while I was looking 7200 I was in the citadel 1002 of Susa 7800, which 834 is in the province 4082 of Elam 5867; and I looked 7200 in the vision 2377 and I myself 589 was beside 5921 the Ulai 195 Canal 180.
3 Then I lifted 5375 my eyes 5869 and looked 7200, and behold 2009, a ram 352 which had two horns 7161 was standing 5975 in front 6440 of the canal 180. Now the two horns 7161 {were} long 1364, but one 259 {was} longer 1364 than 4480 the other 8145, with the longer 1364 one 1364 coming 5927 up last 314.
4 I saw 7200 the ram 352 butting 5055 westward 3220, northward 6828, and southward 5045, and no 3808 {other} beasts 2421 could stand 5975 before 6440 him nor 369 was there 369 anyone to rescue 5337 from his power 3027, but he did 6213 as he pleased 7522 and magnified 1431 {himself.}
5 ¶ While I was observing 995, behold 2009, a male 6842 goat 6842 was coming 935 from the west 4628 over 5921 the surface 6440 of the whole 3605 earth 776 without 369 touching 5060 the ground 776; and the goat 6842 {had} a conspicuous 2380 horn 7161 between 996 his eyes 5869.
6 He came 935 up to the ram 352 that had the two horns 7161, which 834 I had seen 7200 standing 5975 in front 6440 of the canal 180, and rushed 7323 at him in his mighty 3581 wrath 2534.
7 I saw 7200 him come 5060 beside 681 the ram 352, and he was enraged 4843 at him; and he struck 5221 the ram 352 and shattered 7665 his two 8147 horns 7161, and the ram 352 had 1961 no 3808 strength 3581 to withstand 5975 him. So he hurled 7993 him to the ground 776 and trampled 7429 on him, and there was none 3808 to rescue 5337 the ram 352 from his power 3027.
8 Then the male 6842 goat 5795 magnified 1431 {himself} exceedingly. But as soon as he was mighty 6105, the large 1419 horn 7161 was broken 7665; and in its place 8478 there came 5927 up four 702 conspicuous 2380 {horns} toward the four 702 winds 7307 of heaven 8064.

The Little Horn

¶ Out of one 259 of them came 3318 forth 3318 a rather small 6810 horn 7161 which grew 1431 exceedingly 3499 great 1431 toward 413 the south 5045, toward 413 the east 4217, and toward 413 the Beautiful 6643 {Land.}
10 It grew 1431 up to the host 6635 of heaven 8064 and caused some 4480 of the host 6635 and some 4480 of the stars 3556 to fall 5307 to the earth 776, and it trampled 7429 them down 7429.
11 It even 5704 magnified 1431 {itself} to be equal 5704 with the Commander 8269 of the host 6635; and it removed 7311 the regular 8548 sacrifice 8548 from Him, and the place 4349 of His sanctuary 4720 was thrown 7993 down 7993.
12 And on account of transgression 6588 the host 6635 will be given 5414 over {to the horn} along 5921 with the regular 8548 sacrifice 8548; and it will fling 7993 truth 571 to the ground 776 and perform 6213 {its will} and prosper 6743.
13 Then I heard 8085 a holy 6918 one 6918 speaking 1696, and another 259 holy 6918 one 6918 said 559 to that particular 6423 one 6423 who was speaking 1696, "How 4970 long will the vision 2377 {about} the regular 8548 sacrifice 8548 apply, while the transgression 6588 causes 8074 horror 8074, so as to allow 5414 both the holy 6944 place and the host 6635 to be trampled 4823?"
14 He said 559 to me, "For 2,300 evenings 6153 {and} mornings 1242; then the holy 6944 place will be properly 6663 restored 6663."
15

Interpretation of the Vision

¶ When I, Daniel 1840, had seen 7200 the vision 2377, I sought 1245 to understand 998 it; and behold 2009, standing 5975 before 5048 me was one who 4758 looked 4758 like a man 1397.
16 And I heard 8085 the voice 6963 of a man 120 between 996 {the banks of} Ulai 195, and he called 7121 out and said 559, "Gabriel 1403, give 995 this 1975 {man} an understanding 995 of the vision 4758."
17 So he came 935 near 681 to where 5977 I was standing 5977, and when he came 935 I was frightened 1204 and fell 5307 on my face 6440; but he said 559 to me, "Son 1121 of man 120, understand 995 that the vision 2377 pertains to the time 6256 of the end 7093."
18 ¶ Now while he was talking 1696 with me, I sank 7290 into a deep 7290 sleep 7290 with my face 6440 to the ground 776; but he touched 5060 me and made me stand 5975 upright.
19 He said 559, "Behold 2009, I am going to let you know 3045 what 834 will occur 1961 at the final 319 period 319 of the indignation 2195, for {it} pertains to the appointed 4150 time 4150 of the end 7093.
20

The Ram's Identity

"The ram 352 which 834 you saw 7200 with the two horns 7161 represents the kings 4428 of Media 4074 and Persia 6539.
21

The Goat

"The shaggy 8163 goat 5795 {represents} the kingdom 4428 of Greece 3120, and the large 1419 horn 7161 that is between 996 his eyes 5869 is the first 7223 king 4428.
22 "The broken 7665 {horn} and the four 702 {horns that} arose 5975 in its place 8478 {represent} four 702 kingdoms 4438 {which} will arise 5975 from {his} nation 1471, although not with his power 3581.
23 "In the latter 319 period 319 of their rule 4438, When the transgressors 6586 have run 8552 {their course,} A king 4428 will arise 5975, Insolent and skilled 995 in intrigue 2420.
24 "His power 3581 will be mighty 6105, but not by his {own} power 3581, And he will destroy 7843 to an extraordinary 6381 degree 6381 And prosper 6743 and perform 6213 {his will;} He will destroy 7843 mighty 6099 men 6099 and the holy 6918 people 5971.
25 "And through 5921 his shrewdness 7922 He will cause deceit 4820 to succeed 6743 by his influence 3027; And he will magnify 1431 {himself} in his heart 3824, And he will destroy 7843 many 7227 while {they are} at ease 7962. He will even oppose 5975 the Prince 8269 of princes 8269, But he will be broken 7665 without 657 human 3027 agency 3027.
26 "The vision 4758 of the evenings 6153 and mornings 1242 Which 834 has been told 559 is true 571; But keep 5640 the vision 2377 secret 5640, For {it} pertains to many 7227 days 3117 {in the future.}"
27 ¶ Then I, Daniel 1840, was exhausted 1961 and sick 2470 for days 3117. Then I got 6965 up {again} and carried 6213 on the king's 4428 business 4399; but I was astounded 8074 at the vision 4758, and there 369 was none 369 to explain 995 {it.}

Daniel's Prayer for His People

In the first 259 year 8141 of Darius 1867 the son 1121 of Ahasuerus 325, of Median 4074 descent 2233, who 834 was made 4427 king 4427 over 5921 the kingdom 4438 of the Chaldeans 3778--
2 in the first 259 year 8141 of his reign 4427, I, Daniel 1840, observed 995 in the books 5612 the number 4557 of the years 8141 which 834 was {revealed as} the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 to Jeremiah 3414 the prophet 5030 for the completion 4390 of the desolations 2723 of Jerusalem 3389, {namely,} seventy 7657 years 8141.
3 So I gave 5414 my attention 6440 to the Lord 136 God 430 to seek 1245 {Him by} prayer 8605 and supplications 8469, with fasting 6685, sackcloth 8242 and ashes 665.
4 I prayed 6419 to the LORD 3068 my God 430 and confessed 3034 and said 559, "Alas 577, O Lord 136, the great 1419 and awesome 3372 God 410, who keeps 8104 His covenant 1285 and lovingkindness 2617 for those who love 157 Him and keep 8104 His commandments 4687,
5 we have sinned 2398, committed 5753 iniquity 5753, acted 7561 wickedly 7561 and rebelled 4775, even turning 5493 aside 5493 from Your commandments 4687 and ordinances 4941.
6 "Moreover, we have not listened 8085 to Your servants 5650 the prophets 5030, who 834 spoke 1696 in Your name 8034 to our kings 4428, our princes 8269, our fathers 1 and all 3605 the people 5971 of the land 776.
7 ¶ "Righteousness 6666 belongs to You, O Lord 136, but to us open 6440 shame 1322, as it is this 2088 day 3117--to the men 376 of Judah 3063, the inhabitants 3427 of Jerusalem 3389 and all 3605 Israel 3478, those who are nearby 7138 and those who are far 7350 away in all 3605 the countries 776 to which 834 You have driven 5080 them, because of their unfaithful 4604 deeds 4604 which 834 they have committed 4603 against You.
8 "Open 6440 shame 1322 belongs to us, O Lord 3068, to our kings 4428, our princes 8269 and our fathers 1, because 834 we have sinned 2398 against You.
9 "To the Lord 136 our God 430 {belong} compassion 7356 and forgiveness 5547, for we have rebelled 4775 against Him;
10 nor 3808 have we obeyed 8085 the voice 6963 of the LORD 3068 our God 430, to walk 1980 in His teachings 8451 which 834 He set 5414 before 6440 us through 3027 His servants 5650 the prophets 5030.
11 "Indeed all 3605 Israel 3478 has transgressed 5674 Your law 8451 and turned 5493 aside 5493, not obeying 8085 Your voice 6963; so the curse 423 has been poured 5413 out on us, along with the oath 7621 which 834 is written 3789 in the law 8451 of Moses 4872 the servant 5650 of God 430, for we have sinned 2398 against Him.
12 "Thus He has confirmed 6965 His words 1697 which 834 He had spoken 1696 against 5921 us and against 5921 our rulers 8199 who 834 ruled 8199 us, to bring 935 on us great 1419 calamity 7463; for under 8478 the whole 3605 heaven 8064 there has not been done 6213 {anything} like what 3512 was done 6213 to Jerusalem 3389.
13 "As it is written 3789 in the law 8451 of Moses 4872, all 3605 this 2088 calamity 7463 has come 935 on us; yet we have not sought 2470 the favor of the LORD 3068 our God 430 by turning 7725 from our iniquity 5771 and giving 7919 attention 7919 to Your truth 571.
14 "Therefore the LORD 3068 has kept 8245 the calamity 7463 in store 8245 and brought 935 it on us; for the LORD 3068 our God 430 is righteous 6662 with respect 5921 to all 3605 His deeds 4639 which 834 He has done 6213, but we have not obeyed 8085 His voice 6963.
15 ¶ "And now 6258, O Lord 136 our God 430, who 834 have brought 3318 Your people 5971 out of the land 776 of Egypt 4714 with a mighty 2389 hand 3027 and have made 6213 a name 8034 for Yourself, as it is this 2088 day 3117--we have sinned 2398, we have been 7561 wicked 7561.
16 "O Lord 136, in accordance with all 3605 Your righteous 6666 acts 6666, let now 4994 Your anger 639 and Your wrath 2534 turn 7725 away 7725 from Your city 5892 Jerusalem 3389, Your holy 6944 mountain 2022; for because 3588 of our sins 2399 and the iniquities 5771 of our fathers 1, Jerusalem 3389 and Your people 5971 {have become} a reproach 2781 to all 3605 those around 5439 us.
17 "So now 6258, our God 430, listen 8085 to the prayer 8605 of Your servant 5650 and to his supplications 8469, and for Your sake 4616, O Lord 136, let Your face 6440 shine 215 on Your desolate 8076 sanctuary 4720.
18 "O my God 430, incline 5186 Your ear 241 and hear 8085! Open 6491 Your eyes 5869 and see 7200 our desolations 8074 and the city 5892 which 834 is called 7121 by Your name 8034; for we are not presenting 5307 our supplications 8469 before 6440 You on account 5921 of any merits 6666 of our own, but on account 5921 of Your great 7227 compassion 7356.
19 "O Lord 136, hear 8085! O Lord 136, forgive 5545! O Lord 136, listen 7181 and take 6213 action 6213! For Your own sake 4616, O my God 430, do not delay 309, because 3588 Your city 5892 and Your people 5971 are called 7121 by Your name 8034."

Gabriel Brings an Answer

¶ Now while 5750 I was speaking 1696 and praying 6419, and confessing 3034 my sin 2403 and the sin 2403 of my people 5971 Israel 3478, and presenting 5307 my supplication 8467 before 6440 the LORD 3068 my God 430 in behalf 5921 of the holy 6944 mountain 2022 of my God 430,
21 while 5750 I was still 5750 speaking 1696 in prayer 8605, then the man 376 Gabriel 1403, whom 834 I had seen 7200 in the vision 2377 previously 8462, came 5060 to me in {my} extreme 3286 weariness 3288 about the time 6256 of the evening 6153 offering 4503.
22 He gave 995 {me} instruction 995 and talked 1696 with me and said 559, "O Daniel 1840, I have now 6258 come 3318 forth 3318 to give 7919 you insight 7919 with understanding 998.
23 "At the beginning 8462 of your supplications 8469 the command 1697 was issued 3318, and I have come 935 to tell 5046 {you,} for you are highly 2536 esteemed 2536; so give 995 heed 995 to the message 1697 and gain 995 understanding 995 of the vision 4758.

Seventy Weeks and the Messiah

¶ "Seventy 7657 weeks 7620 have been decreed 2852 for your people 5971 and your holy 6944 city 5892, to finish 3615 the transgression 6588, to make 8552 an end 8552 of sin 2403, to make 3722 atonement 3722 for iniquity 5771, to bring 935 in everlasting 5769 righteousness 6664, to seal 2856 up vision 2377 and prophecy 5030 and to anoint 4886 the most 6944 holy 6944 {place.}
25 "So you are to know 3045 and discern 7919 {that} from the issuing 4161 of a decree 1697 to restore 7725 and rebuild 1129 Jerusalem 3389 until 5704 Messiah 4899 the Prince 5057 {there will be} seven 7655 weeks 7620 and sixty-two weeks 7620; it will be built 1129 again 7725, with plaza 7339 and moat 2742, even in times 6256 of distress 6695.
26 "Then after 310 the sixty-two weeks 7620 the Messiah 4899 will be cut 3772 off 3772 and have 369 nothing 369, and the people 5971 of the prince 5057 who is to come 935 will destroy 7843 the city 5892 and the sanctuary 6944. And its end 7093 {will come} with a flood 7858; even to the end 7093 there will be war 4421; desolations 8074 are determined 2782.
27 "And he will make 1396 a firm 1396 covenant 1285 with the many 7227 for one 259 week 7620, but in the middle 2677 of the week 7620 he will put 7673 a stop 7673 to sacrifice 2077 and grain offering 4503; and on the wing 3671 of abominations 8251 {will come} one who makes 8074 desolate 8074, even until 5704 a complete 3617 destruction 3617, one that is decreed 2782, is poured 5413 out on the one who makes 8074 desolate 8074."

Daniel Is Terrified by a Vision

In the third 7969 year 8141 of Cyrus 3566 king 4428 of Persia 6539 a message 1697 was revealed 1540 to Daniel 1840, who 834 was named Belteshazzar 1095; and the message 1697 was true 571 and {one of} great 1419 conflict 6635, but he understood 995 the message 1697 and had an understanding 998 of the vision 4758.
2 ¶ In those 1992 days 3117, I, Daniel 1840, had been 1961 mourning 56 for three 7969 entire 3117 weeks 7620.
3 I did not eat 398 any tasty 2536 food 3899, nor 3808 did meat 1320 or wine 3196 enter 935 my mouth 6310, nor 3808 did I use 5480 any ointment 5480 at all until 5704 the entire 3117 three 7969 weeks 7620 were completed 4390.
4 On the twenty-fourth day 3117 of the first 7223 month 2320, while I was by the bank 3027 of the great 1419 river 5104, that is, the Tigris 2313,
5 I lifted 5375 my eyes 5869 and looked 7200, and behold 2009, there was a certain 259 man 376 dressed 3847 in linen 906, whose waist 4975 was girded 2296 with {a belt of} pure 3800 gold 3800 of Uphaz 210.
6 His body 1472 also {was} like beryl 8658, his face 6440 had the appearance 4758 of lightning 1300, his eyes 5869 were like flaming 784 torches 3940, his arms 2220 and feet 4772 like the gleam 5869 of polished 7044 bronze 5178, and the sound 6963 of his words 1697 like the sound 6963 of a tumult 1995.
7 Now I, Daniel 1840, alone 905 saw 7200 the vision 4759, while the men 376 who 834 were with me did not see 7200 the vision 4759; nevertheless 61, a great 1419 dread 2731 fell 5307 on them, and they ran 1272 away 1272 to hide 2244 themselves.
8 So I was left 7604 alone 905 and saw 7200 this 2088 great 1419 vision 4759; yet no 3808 strength 3581 was left 7604 in me, for my natural 1935 color 1935 turned 2015 to a deathly 4889 pallor 4889, and I retained 6113 no 3808 strength 3581.
9 But I heard 8085 the sound 6963 of his words 1697; and as soon as I heard 8085 the sound 6963 of his words 1697, I fell 7290 into a deep 7290 sleep 7290 on my face 6440, with my face 6440 to the ground 776.
10

Daniel Comforted

¶ Then behold 2009, a hand 3027 touched 5060 me and set 5128 me trembling 5128 on my hands and knees 1290.
11 He said 559 to me, "O Daniel 1840, man 376 of high 2536 esteem 2536, understand 995 the words 1697 that I am about to tell 1696 you and stand 5975 upright, for I have now 6258 been sent 7971 to you." And when he had spoken 1696 this 2088 word 1697 to me, I stood 5975 up trembling 7460.
12 Then he said 559 to me, "Do not be afraid 3372, Daniel 1840, for from the first 7223 day 3117 that you set 5414 your heart 3820 on understanding 995 {this} and on humbling 6031 yourself before 6440 your God 430, your words 1697 were heard 8085, and I have come 935 in response to your words 1697.
13 "But the prince 8269 of the kingdom 4438 of Persia 6539 was withstanding 5975 me for twenty-one days 3117; then behold 2009, Michael 4317, one 259 of the chief 7223 princes 8269, came 935 to help 5826 me, for I had been left 3498 there 8033 with the kings 4428 of Persia 6539.
14 "Now I have come 935 to give 995 you an understanding 995 of what 834 will happen 7136 to your people 5971 in the latter 319 days 3117, for the vision 2377 pertains to the days 3117 yet 5750 {future.}"
15 ¶ When he had spoken 1696 to me according to these 428 words 1697, I turned 5414 my face 6440 toward the ground 776 and became 481 speechless 481.
16 And behold 2009, one who 1823 resembled 1823 a human 120 being was touching 5060 my lips 8193; then I opened 6605 my mouth 6310 and spoke 1696 and said 559 to him who was standing 5975 before 5048 me, "O my lord 113, as a result of the vision 4759 anguish 6735 has come 2015 upon me, and I have retained 6113 no 3808 strength 3581.
17 "For how 1963 can 3201 such 2088 a servant 5650 of my lord 113 talk 1696 with such 2088 as my lord 113? As for me, there remains 5975 just now 6258 no 3808 strength 3581 in me, nor 3808 has any breath 5397 been left 7604 in me."
18 ¶ Then {this} one with human 120 appearance 4758 touched 5060 me again 3254 and strengthened 2388 me.
19 He said 559, "O man 376 of high 2536 esteem 2536, do not be afraid 3372. Peace 7965 be with you; take 2388 courage 2388 and be courageous 2388!" Now as soon as he spoke 1696 to me, I received 2388 strength 2388 and said 559, "May my lord 113 speak 1696, for you have strengthened 2388 me."
20 Then he said 559, "Do you understand 3045 why 4100 I came 935 to you? But I shall now 6258 return 7725 to fight 3898 against 5973 the prince 8269 of Persia 6539; so I am going 3318 forth 3318, and behold 2009, the prince 8269 of Greece 3120 is about to come 935.
21 "However 61, I will tell 5046 you what is inscribed 7559 in the writing 3791 of truth 571. Yet there 369 is no 369 one 259 who stands 2388 firmly 2388 with me against 5921 these 428 {forces} except Michael 4317 your prince 8269.

Conflicts to Come

"In the first 259 year 8141 of Darius 1867 the Mede 4075, I arose 5975 to be an encouragement 2388 and a protection 4581 for him.
2 "And now 6258 I will tell 5046 you the truth 571. Behold 2009, three 7969 more 5750 kings 4428 are going to arise 5975 in Persia 6539. Then a fourth 7243 will gain 6238 far 1419 more 1419 riches 6239 than 4480 all 3605 {of them;} as soon as he becomes strong 2393 through his riches 6239, he will arouse 5782 the whole 3605 {empire} against the realm 4438 of Greece 3120.
3 "And a mighty 1368 king 4428 will arise 5975, and he will rule 4910 with great 7227 authority 4474 and do 6213 as he pleases 7522.
4 "But as soon as he has arisen 5975, his kingdom 4438 will be broken 7665 up and parceled 2673 out toward the four 702 points 7307 of the compass 8064, though not to his {own} descendants 319, nor 3808 according to his authority 4915 which 834 he wielded 4910, for his sovereignty 4438 will be uprooted 5428 and {given} to others 312 besides them.
5 ¶ "Then the king 4428 of the South 5045 will grow 2388 strong 2388, along with {one} of his princes 8269 who will gain 2388 ascendancy 2388 over 5921 him and obtain 4910 dominion 4910; his domain 4475 {will be} a great 7227 dominion 4475 {indeed.}
6 "After 7093 some years 8141 they will form 2266 an alliance 2266, and the daughter 1323 of the king 4428 of the South 5045 will come 935 to the king 4428 of the North 6828 to carry 6213 out a peaceful 4339 arrangement 4339. But she will not retain 6113 her position 2220 of power 3581, nor 3808 will he remain 5975 with his power 2220, but she will be given 5414 up, along with those who brought 935 her in and the one who sired 3205 her as well as he who supported 2388 her in {those} times 6256.
7 "But one of the descendants 5342 of her line 8328 will arise 5975 in his place 3653, and he will come 935 against 413 {their} army 2428 and enter 935 the fortress 4581 of the king 4428 of the North 6828, and he will deal 6213 with them and display 2388 {great} strength 2388.
8 "Also 1571 their gods 430 with their metal 5257 images 5257 {and} their precious 2532 vessels 3627 of silver 3701 and gold 2091 he will take 935 into captivity 7628 to Egypt 4714, and he on his part 1931 will refrain 5975 from {attacking} the king 4428 of the North 6828 for {some} years 8141.
9 "Then the latter will enter 935 the realm 4438 of the king 4428 of the South 5045, but will return 7725 to his {own} land 127.
10 ¶ "His sons 1121 will mobilize 1624 and assemble 622 a multitude 1995 of great 7227 forces 2428; and one of them will keep 935 on coming 935 and overflow 7857 and pass 5674 through 5674, that he may again 7725 wage 1624 war 1624 up to his {very} fortress 4581.
11 "The king 4428 of the South 5045 will be enraged 4843 and go 3318 forth 3318 and fight 3898 with the king 4428 of the North 6828. Then the latter will raise 5975 a great 7227 multitude 1995, but {that} multitude 1995 will be given 5414 into the hand 3027 of the {former.}
12 "When the multitude 1995 is carried 5375 away, his heart 3824 will be lifted 7311 up, and he will cause tens 7239 of thousands 7239 to fall 5307; yet he will not prevail 5810.
13 "For the king 4428 of the North 6828 will again 7725 raise 5975 a greater 7227 multitude 1995 than 4480 the former 7223, and after 7093 an interval of some 6256 years 8141 he will press 935 on with a great 1419 army 2428 and much 7227 equipment 7399.
14 ¶ "Now in those 1992 times 6256 many 7227 will rise 5975 up against 5921 the king 4428 of the South 5045; the violent 6530 ones among your people 5971 will also lift 5375 themselves up in order to fulfill 5975 the vision 2377, but they will fall 3782 down 3782.
15 "Then the king 4428 of the North 6828 will come 935, cast 8210 up a siege 5550 ramp 5550 and capture 3920 a well-fortified 4013 city 5892; and the forces 2220 of the South 5045 will not stand 5975 {their ground,} not even their choicest 4005 troops 5971, for there 369 will be no 369 strength 3581 to make 5975 a stand 5975.
16 "But he who comes 935 against 413 him will do 6213 as he pleases 7522, and no 369 one 369 will {be able to} withstand him; he will also stay 5975 {for a time} in the Beautiful 6643 Land 776, with destruction 3617 in his hand 3027.
17 "He will set 7760 his face 6440 to come 935 with the power 8633 of his whole 3605 kingdom 4438, bringing with him a proposal 3477 of peace 3477 which he will put 6213 into effect 6213; he will also give 5414 him the daughter 1323 of women 802 to ruin 7843 it. But she will not take 5975 a stand 5975 {for him} or be on his side.
18 "Then he will turn 7725 his face 6440 to the coastlands 339 and capture 3920 many 7227. But a commander 7101 will put 7673 a stop 7673 to his scorn 2781 against him; moreover 1115, he will repay 7725 him for his scorn 2781.
19 "So he will turn 7725 his face 6440 toward the fortresses 4581 of his own land 776, but he will stumble 3782 and fall 5307 and be found 4672 no 3808 more.
20 ¶ "Then in his place 3653 one will arise 5975 who will send 5674 an oppressor 5065 through 5674 the Jewel 1925 of {his} kingdom 4438; yet within a few 259 days 3117 he will be shattered 7665, though not in anger 639 nor 3808 in battle 4421.
21 "In his place 3653 a despicable 959 person will arise 5975, on whom the honor 1935 of kingship 4438 has not been conferred 5414, but he will come 935 in a time 7962 of tranquility 7962 and seize 2388 the kingdom 4438 by intrigue 2519.
22 "The overflowing 7858 forces 2220 will be flooded 7857 away 7857 before him and shattered 7665, and also 1571 the prince 5057 of the covenant 1285.
23 "After 4480 an alliance 2266 is made 2266 with him he will practice 6213 deception 4820, and he will go 5927 up and gain 6105 power 6105 with a small 4592 {force of} people 1471.
24 "In a time 7962 of tranquility 7962 he will enter 935 the richest 4924 {parts} of the realm 4082, and he will accomplish 6213 what 834 his fathers 1 never 3808 did 6213, nor 3808 his ancestors 1; he will distribute 967 plunder 961, booty 7998 and possessions 7399 among them, and he will devise 2803 his schemes 4284 against 5921 strongholds 4013, but {only} for a time 6256.
25 "He will stir 5782 up his strength 3581 and courage 3824 against 5921 the king 4428 of the South 5045 with a large 1419 army 2428; so the king 4428 of the South 5045 will mobilize 1624 an extremely large 1419 and mighty 6099 army 2428 for war 4421; but he will not stand 5975, for schemes 4284 will be devised 2803 against 5921 him.
26 "Those who eat 398 his choice 6598 food 6598 will destroy 7665 him, and his army 2428 will overflow 7857, but many 7227 will fall 5307 down 5307 slain 2491.
27 "As for both 8147 kings 4428, their hearts 3824 will be {intent} on evil 7489, and they will speak 1696 lies 3577 {to each other} at the same 259 table 7979; but it will not succeed 6743, for the end 7093 is still 5750 {to come} at the appointed 4150 time 4150.
28 "Then he will return 7725 to his land 776 with much 1419 plunder 7399; but his heart 3824 will be {set} against 5921 the holy 6944 covenant 1285, and he will take 6213 action 6213 and {then} return 7725 to his {own} land 776.
29 ¶ "At the appointed 4150 time 4150 he will return 7725 and come 935 into the South 5045, but this last 314 time 314 it will not turn 1961 out the way it did before 7223.
30 "For ships 6716 of Kittim 3794 will come 935 against him; therefore he will be disheartened 3512 and will return 7725 and become 2194 enraged 2194 at the holy 6944 covenant 1285 and take 6213 action 6213; so he will come 7725 back 7725 and show 995 regard 995 for those who forsake 5800 the holy 6944 covenant 1285.
31 "Forces 2220 from him will arise 5975, desecrate 2490 the sanctuary 4720 fortress 4581, and do 5493 away 5493 with the regular 8548 sacrifice 8548. And they will set 5414 up the abomination 8251 of desolation 8074.
32 "By smooth 2514 {words} he will turn 2610 to godlessness 2610 those who act 7561 wickedly 7561 toward the covenant 1285, but the people 5971 who know 3045 their God 430 will display 2388 strength 2388 and take 6213 action 6213.
33 "Those who have 7919 insight 7919 among the people 5971 will give 995 understanding 995 to the many 7227; yet they will fall 3782 by sword 2719 and by flame 3852, by captivity 7628 and by plunder 961 for {many} days 3117.
34 "Now when they fall 3782 they will be granted 5826 a little 4592 help 5828, and many 7227 will join 3867 with them in hypocrisy 2519.
35 "Some 4480 of those who have 7919 insight 7919 will fall 3782, in order to refine 6884, purge 1305 and make 3835 them pure 3835 until 5704 the end 7093 time 6256; because 3588 {it is} still 5750 {to come} at the appointed 4150 time 4150.
36 ¶ "Then the king 4428 will do 6213 as he pleases 7522, and he will exalt 7311 and magnify 1431 himself above 5921 every 3605 god 410 and will speak 1696 monstrous 6381 things 6381 against 5921 the God 410 of gods 410; and he will prosper 6743 until 5704 the indignation 2195 is finished 3615, for that which is decreed 2782 will be done 6213.
37 "He will show 995 no 3808 regard 995 for the gods 430 of his fathers 1 or for the desire 2532 of women 802, nor 3808 will he show 995 regard 995 for any 3605 {other} god 433; for he will magnify 1431 himself above 5921 {them} all 3605.
38 "But instead he will honor 3513 a god 433 of fortresses 4581, a god 433 whom 834 his fathers 1 did not know 3045; he will honor 3513 {him} with gold 2091, silver 3701, costly 3368 stones 68 and treasures 2536.
39 "He will take 6213 action 6213 against the strongest 4581 of fortresses 4581 with {the help of} a foreign 5236 god 433; he will give 7235 great 7235 honor 3519 to those who 834 acknowledge 5234 {him} and will cause them to rule 4910 over the many 7227, and will parcel 2505 out land 127 for a price 4242.
40 ¶ "At the end 7093 time 6256 the king 4428 of the South 5045 will collide 5055 with him, and the king 4428 of the North 6828 will storm 8175 against 5921 him with chariots 7393, with horsemen 6571 and with many 7227 ships 591; and he will enter 935 countries 776, overflow 7857 {them} and pass 5674 through 5674.
41 "He will also enter 935 the Beautiful 6643 Land 776, and many 7227 {countries} will fall 3782; but these 428 will be rescued 4422 out of his hand 3027: Edom 112, Moab 4124 and the foremost 7225 of the sons 1121 of Ammon 5983.
42 "Then he will stretch 7971 out his hand 3027 against {other} countries 776, and the land 776 of Egypt 4714 will not escape 6413.
43 "But he will gain 4910 control 4910 over the hidden 4362 treasures 4362 of gold 2091 and silver 3701 and over all 3605 the precious 2536 things 2536 of Egypt 4714; and Libyans 3864 and Ethiopians 3569 {will follow} at his heels 4703.
44 "But rumors 8052 from the East 4217 and from the North 6828 will disturb 926 him, and he will go 3318 forth 3318 with great 1419 wrath 2534 to destroy 8045 and annihilate 2763 many 7227.
45 "He will pitch 5193 the tents 168 of his royal 643 pavilion 643 between 996 the seas 3220 and the beautiful 6643 Holy 6944 Mountain 2022; yet he will come 935 to his end 7093, and no 369 one 369 will help 5826 him.

The Time of the End

"Now at that time 6256 Michael 4317, the great 1419 prince 8269 who stands 5975 {guard} over 5921 the sons 1121 of your people 5971, will arise 5975. And there will be a time 6256 of distress 6869 such 834 as never 3808 occurred 1961 since 4480 there was a nation 1471 until 5704 that time 6256; and at that time 6256 your people 5971, everyone 3605 who is found 4672 written 3789 in the book 5612, will be rescued 4422.
2 "Many 7227 of those who 3463 sleep 3463 in the dust 6083 of the ground 127 will awake 7019, these 428 to everlasting 5769 life 2425, but the others 428 to disgrace 2781 {and} everlasting 5769 contempt 1860.
3 "Those who have 7919 insight 7919 will shine 2094 brightly 2094 like the brightness 2096 of the expanse 7549 of heaven 7549, and those who lead 6663 the many 7227 to righteousness 6663, like the stars 3556 forever 5769 and ever 5703.
4 "But as for you, Daniel 1840, conceal 5640 these words 1697 and seal 2856 up the book 5612 until 5704 the end 7093 of time 6256; many 7227 will go 7751 back 7751 and forth 7751, and knowledge 1847 will increase 7235."
5 ¶ Then I, Daniel 1840, looked 7200 and behold 2009, two 8147 others 312 were standing 5975, one 259 on this 2008 bank 8193 of the river 2975 and the other 259 on that bank 8193 of the river 2975.
6 And one said 559 to the man 376 dressed 3847 in linen 906, who 834 was above the waters 4325 of the river 2975, "How 4970 long {will it be} until 5704 the end 7093 of {these} wonders 6382?"
7 I heard 8085 the man 376 dressed 3847 in linen 906, who 834 was above the waters 4325 of the river 2975, as he raised 7311 his right 3225 hand 3225 and his left 8040 toward 413 heaven 8064, and swore 7650 by Him who 2416 lives 2416 forever 5769 that it would be for a time 4150, times 4150, and half 2677 {a} {time;} and as soon as they finish 3615 shattering 5310 the power 3027 of the holy 6944 people 5971, all 3605 these 428 {events} will be completed 3615.
8 As for me, I heard 8085 but could not understand 995; so I said 559, "My lord 113, what 4100 {will be} the outcome 319 of these 428 {events?}"
9 He said 559, "Go 1980 {your way,} Daniel 1840, for {these} words 1697 are concealed 5640 and sealed 2856 up until 5704 the end 7093 time 6256.
10 "Many 7227 will be purged 1305, purified 3835 and refined 6884, but the wicked 7563 will act 7561 wickedly 7561; and none of the wicked 7563 will understand 995, but those who have 7919 insight 7919 will understand 995.
11 "From the time 6256 that the regular 8548 sacrifice 8548 is abolished 5493 and the abomination 8251 of desolation 8074 is set 5414 up, {there will be} 1,290 days 3117.
12 "How blessed 835 is he who keeps waiting 2442 and attains 5060 to the 1,335 days 3117!
13 "But as for you, go 1980 {your way} to the end 7093; then you will enter 5117 into rest 5117 and rise 5975 {again} for your allotted 1486 portion 1486 at the end 7093 of the age 3117."
