Daniel Chapter 2 From the King James Bible;
1: And
in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams,
wherewith his spirit was troubled, and his sleep brake from him.
2: Then the king commanded to call the magicians, and the astrologers, and the
sorcerers, and the Chaldeans, for to shew the king his dreams. So they came
and stood before the king.
3: And the king said unto them, I have dreamed a dream, and my spirit was troubled
to know the dream.
4: Then spake the Chaldeans to the king in Syriack, O king, live for ever: tell
thy servants the dream, and we will shew the interpretation.
5: The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, The thing is gone from me: if
ye will not make known unto me the dream, with the interpretation thereof, ye
shall be cut in pieces, and your houses shall be made a dunghill.
6: But if ye shew the dream, and the interpretation thereof, ye shall receive
of me gifts and rewards and great honour: therefore shew me the dream, and the
interpretation thereof.
7: They answered again and said, Let the king tell his servants the dream, and
we will shew the interpretation of it.
8: The king answered and said, I know of certainty that ye would gain the time,
because ye see the thing is gone from me.
9: But if ye will not make known unto me the dream, there is but one decree
for you: for ye have prepared lying and corrupt words to speak before me, till
the time be changed: therefore tell me the dream, and I shall know that ye can
shew me the interpretation thereof.
10: The Chaldeans answered before the king, and said, There is not a man upon
the earth that can shew the king's matter: therefore there is no king, lord,
nor ruler, that asked such things at any magician, or astrologer, or Chaldean.
11: And it is a rare thing that the king requireth, and there is none other
that can shew it before the king, except the gods, whose dwelling is not with
flesh.
12: For this cause the king was angry and very furious, and commanded to destroy
all the wise men of Babylon.
13: And the decree went forth that the wise men should be slain; and they sought
Daniel and his fellows to be slain.
14: Then Daniel answered with counsel and wisdom to Arioch the captain of the
king's guard, which was gone forth to slay the wise men of Babylon:
15: He answered and said to Arioch the king's captain, Why is the decree so
hasty from the king? Then Arioch made the thing known to Daniel.
16: Then Daniel went in, and desired of the king that he would give him time,
and that he would shew the king the interpretation.
17: Then Daniel went to his house, and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael,
and Azariah, his companions:
18: That they would desire mercies of the God of heaven concerning this secret;
that Daniel and his fellows should not perish with the rest of the wise men
of Babylon.
19: Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a night vision. Then Daniel
blessed the God of heaven.
20: Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever:
for wisdom and might are his:
21: And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth
up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:
22: He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness,
and the light dwelleth with him.
23: I thank thee, and praise thee, O thou God of my fathers, who hast given
me wisdom and might, and hast made known unto me now what we desired of thee:
for thou hast now made known unto us the king's matter.
24: Therefore Daniel went in unto Arioch, whom the king had ordained to destroy
the wise men of Babylon: he went and said thus unto him; Destroy not the wise
men of Babylon: bring me in before the king, and I will shew unto the king the
interpretation.
25: Then Arioch brought in Daniel before the king in haste and said thus unto
him, I have found a man of the captives of Judah, that will make known unto
the king the interpretation.
26: The king answered and said to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, Art thou
able to make known unto me the dream which I have seen, and the interpretation
thereof?
27: Daniel answered in the presence of the king, and said, The secret which
the king hath demanded cannot the wise men, the astrologers, the magicians,
the soothsayers, shew unto the king;
28: But there is a God in heaven that revealeth
secrets, and maketh known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be
in the last days. Thy dream, and the
visions of thy head upon thy bed, are these;
29: As for thee, O king, thy thoughts came into thy mind upon thy bed, what
should come to pass hereafter: and he that revealeth secrets maketh known to
thee what shall come to pass.
30: But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for any wisdom that I have
more than any living, but for their sakes that shall make known the interpretation
to the king, and that thou mightest know the thoughts of thy heart.
31: Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This great image, whose
brightness was excellent, stood before thee; and the form thereof was terrible.
32: This image's head was of fine gold,(Babylon
Religion & culture) his breast and his arms of silver
(Medo-Persian Religion & culture),
his belly and his thighs of brass (Greecian
Religion & culture),
33: His legs of iron, (Rome Religion & culture) his
feet part of iron and part of clay (UN
with blend of all Religion & culture).
34: Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the
image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces.
35: Then was the iron, the clay, the brass,
the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and
became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried
them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone (The
Hand of Yahweh God) that
smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth. (Yahweh
sets up HIS kingdom on this earth)
36: This is the dream; and we will tell the interpretation thereof before the
king.
37: Thou, O king, art a king of kings: for the God of heaven hath given thee
a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory.
38: And wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field and the
fowls of the heaven hath he given into thine hand, and hath made thee ruler
over them all. Thou art this head of gold.
39: And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior
to thee, and another
third kingdom of brass (Greecian Religion & culture) ,
which shall bear rule over all the earth.
40: And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron:
(Roman Religion & culture) forasmuch
as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things: and as iron that
breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise.
41: And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part
of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength
of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay.
42: And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay,
so the
kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.(The UN)
43: And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall
mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one
to another, even
as iron does not mix with clay.
