Daniel 4:1-18

CLV(i) 1 Nebuchadnezzar the king, to all peoples, leagues and language-groups that are abiding in the entire earth:Your welfare be growing great!" 2 The signs and the amazing deeds that the Supreme Eloah does with me, it is seemly before me to disclose to you:" 3 His signs how immense, and His amazing deeds how mighty! His kingdom is an eonian kingdom, and His jurisdiction is with generation after generation." 4 I, Nebuchadnezzar, was at ease in my house, and flourishing in my palace." 5 A dream I perceived and it is terrifying me, and portents on my bed, even the visions of my head are flustering me." 6 Then from me a decree was promulgated to bring in before me all the wise men of Babylon, that the interpretation of the dream they shall make known to me." 7 Then went in the sacred scribes, the magi, the Chaldeans and the hieromancers, and I am stating the dream before them, yet its interpretation they did not make known to me." 8 Further, last of all, Daniel comes in before me, whose name is Belteshazzar, after the name of my eloah. Now, seeing that the spirit of the holy Elohim is in him, I state the dream before him also:" 9 Belteshazzar, grandee of the sacred scribes, seeing that I know that the spirit of the holy Elohim is in you, and no secret at all bothers you, hear the visions of my dream that I perceived, and state its interpretation to me." 10 Now the visions of my head on my bed are these:Perceiving am I, and lo, an oak in the midst of the earth, and its height is enormous." 11 The oak increases and is mighty, and its height is reaching to the heavens, and it is perceptible to the extremity of the entire earth." 12 Its leaves are seemly, and its pollination abundant, and sustenance for all is in it. Under it the animal of the field is shaded, and in its boughs are abiding the birds of the heavens, and from it all flesh is having sustenance for itself." 13 Perceiving am I in the visions of my head on my bed, and lo, a holy rouser is alighting from the heavens." 14 He is calling with potency and this is what he is saying, `Slash down the oak; cut away its boughs. Shake off its leaves; scatter its pollinated fruit. Wander shall the animals from under it, and the birds from its boughs." 15 But the stump with its roots leave in the earth clamped with a band of iron and copper. In the verdure of the field with the night mist of the heavens shall he be streaked. With the animals shall be his portion:The herbage of the earth. 16 His heart shall alter from a mortal's:The heart of an animal shall be granted to him; 17 thus seven seasons shall pass on over him. In a severance of the rousers is the rescript, and in a statement of the saints is the request, unto the intent that the living shall know that the Supreme is in authority in the kingdom of mortals, and to whom He is willing is He giving it, and a low one of mortals is He setting over it.'" 18 This dream, I, king Nebuchadnezzar, perceived. Now you, Belteshazzar, state the interpretation, forasmuch as all the wise men of my kingdom can not make known to me the interpretation. Yet you Daniel can, seeing that the spirit of the holy Elohim is in you."
