8 H5705 But at H318 the last H1841 Daniel H5922 came in H6925 before me H8036 , whose name H1096 was Belteshazzar H8036 , according to the name H426 of my god H7308 , and in whom is the spirit H6922 of the holy H426 gods H6925 : and before H560 him I told [H8754] H2493 the dream, saying,

9 H1096 O Belteshazzar H7229 , master H2749 of the magicians H576 , because I H3046 know [H8754] H7308 that the spirit H6922 of the holy H426 gods H3606 is in thee, and no H3809 H7328 secret H598 troubleth [H8750] H560 thee, tell [H8747] H2376 me the visions H2493 of my dream H2370 that I have seen [H8754] H6591 , and the interpretation thereof.

10 H2376 Thus were the visions H7217 of mine head H5922 in H4903 my bed H1934 ; I saw [H8754] H2370 [H8751] H431 , and behold H363 a tree H1459 in the midst H772 of the earth H7314 , and the height H7690 thereof was great.

11 H363 The tree H7236 grew [H8754] H8631 , and was strong [H8754] H7314 , and the height H4291 thereof reached [H8748] H8065 unto heaven H2379 , and the sight H5491 thereof to the end H3606 of all H772 the earth:

12 H6074 The leaves H8209 thereof were fair H4 , and the fruit H7690 thereof much H4203 , and in it was meat H3606 for all H2423 : the beasts H1251 of the field H2927 had shadow [H8681] H8460 under H6853 it, and the fowls H8065 of the heaven H1753 dwelt [H8748] H6056 in the boughs H3606 thereof, and all H1321 flesh H2110 was fed [H8729] H4481 of it.

13 H1934 I saw [H8754] H2370 [H8751] H2376 in the visions H7217 of my head H5922 upon H4903 my bed H431 , and, behold H5894 , a watcher H6922 and an holy one H5182 came down [H8750] H4481 from H8065 heaven;

14 H7123 He cried [H8751] H2429 aloud H560 , and said [H8750] H3652 thus H1414 , Hew down H363 the tree H7113 , and cut off [H8745] H6056 his branches H5426 , shake off [H8680] H6074 his leaves H921 , and scatter [H8745] H4 his fruit H2423 : let the beasts H5111 get away [H8748] H4481 from H8479 under it H6853 , and the fowls H4481 from H6056 his branches:

15 H1297 Nevertheless H7662 leave [H8747] H6136 the stump H8330 of his roots H772 in the earth H613 , even with a band H6523 of iron H5174 and brass H1883 , in the tender grass H1251 of the field H6647 ; and let it be wet [H8721] H2920 with the dew H8065 of heaven H2508 , and let his portion H5974 be with H2423 the beasts H6211 in the grass H772 of the earth:

16 H3825 Let his heart H8133 be changed [H8741] H4481 from H606 man's H2423 , and let a beast's H3825 heart H3052 be given [H8725] H7655 unto him; and let seven H5732 times H2499 pass H5922 over him.

17 H6600 This matter H1510 is by the decree H5894 of the watchers H7595 , and the demand H3983 by the word H6922 of the holy ones H5705 : to H1701 the intent H2417 that the living H3046 may know [H8748] H5943 that the most High H7990 ruleth H4437 in the kingdom H606 of men H5415 , and giveth [H8748] H4479 it to whomsoever H6634 he will [H8748] H6966 , and setteth up [H8681] H5922 over H8215 it the basest H606 of men.

18 H1836 This H2493 dream H576 I H4430 king H5020 Nebuchadnezzar H2370 have seen [H8754] H607 . Now thou H1096 , O Belteshazzar H560 , declare [H8747] H6591 the interpretation H6903 thereof, forasmuch as H3606 all H2445 the wise H4437 men of my kingdom H3809 are not H3202 able [H8750] H3046 to make known [H8682] H6591 unto me the interpretation H607 : but thou H3546 art able [H8751] H7308 ; for the spirit H6922 of the holy H426 gods is in thee.

ERV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁸ But at the last Daniel came in before me, whose name was Belteshazzar, according to the name of my god, and in whom is the spirit of the holy gods: and I told the dream before him, [saying], ⁹ O Belteshazzar, master of the magicians, because I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in thee, and no secret troubleth thee, tell me the visions of my dream that I have seen, and the interpretation thereof. ¹⁰ Thus were the visions of my head upon my bed: I saw, and behold a tree in the midst of the earth, and the height thereof was great. ¹¹ The tree grew, and was strong, and the height thereof reached unto heaven, and the sight thereof to the end of all the earth. ¹² The leaves thereof were fair, and the fruit thereof much, and in it was meat for all: the beasts of the field had shadow under it, and the fowls of the heaven dwelt in the branches thereof, and all flesh was fed of it. ¹³ I saw in the visions of my head upon my bed, and, behold, a watcher and an holy one came down from heaven. ¹⁴ He cried aloud, and said thus, Hew down the tree, and cut off his branches, shake off his leaves, and scatter his fruit: let the beasts get away from under it, and the fowls from his branches. ¹⁵ Nevertheless leave the stump of his roots in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and let his portion be with the beasts in the grass of the earth: ¹⁶ let his heart be changed from man’s and let a beast’s heart be given unto him; and let seven times pass over him. ¹⁷ The sentence is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the Most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the lowest of men. ¹⁸ This dream I king Nebuchadnezzar have seen: and thou, O Belteshazzar, declare the interpretation, forasmuch as all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make known unto me the interpretation; but thou art able, for the spirit of the holy gods is in thee.
