Daniel 4:7-18 Then coming up are the scribes, the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers, and the dream I have told before them, and its interpretation they are not making known to me.

YLT⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ Then coming up are the scribes, the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers, and the dream I have told before them, and its interpretation they are not making known to me. ⁸ And at last come up before me hath Daniel, whose name is Belteshazzar—according to the name of my god—and in whom is the spirit of the holy gods, and the dream before him I have told: ⁹ `O Belteshazzar, master of the scribes, as I have known that the spirit of the holy gods is in thee, and no secret doth press thee, the visions of my dream that I have seen, and its interpretation, tell. ¹⁰ As to the visions of my head on my bed, I was looking, and lo, a tree in the midst of the earth, and its height is great: ¹¹ become great hath the tree, yea, strong, and its height doth reach to the heavens, and its vision to the end of the whole land; ¹² its leaves are fair, and its budding great, and food for all is in it: under it take shade doth the beast of the field, and in its boughs dwell do the birds of the heavens, and of it fed are all flesh. ¹³ `I was looking, in the visions of my head on my bed, and lo, a sifter, even a holy one, from the heavens is coming down. ¹⁴ He is calling mightily, and thus hath said, Cut down the tree, and cut off its branches, shake off its leaves, and scatter its budding, move away let the beast from under it, and the birds from off its branches; ¹⁵ but the stump of its roots leave in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field, and with the dew of the heavens is it wet, and with the beasts is his portion in the herb of the earth; ¹⁶ his heart from man's is changed, and the heart of a beast is given to him, and seven times pass over him; ¹⁷ by the decree of the sifters is the sentence, and by the saying of the holy ones the requirement, to the intent that the living may know that the Most High is ruler in the kingdom of men, and to whom He willeth He giveth it, and the lowest of men He doth raise up over it. ¹⁸ `This dream I have seen, I king Nebuchadnezzar; and thou, O Belteshazzar, the interpretation tell, because that all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to cause me to know the interpretation, and thou art able, for the spirit of the holy gods is in thee.
