Daniel
Interpreteth Nebuchadnezzars dream.
Daniel 2:1-5, 10a, 12, 13, 17-19
And in the
second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar Nebuchadnezzar
dreamed dreams, wherewith his spirit was troubled, and his
sleep brake from him. 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. And the king said unto them, I
have dreamed a dream, and my spirit was troubled to know the
dream. 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. The king answered and said to the
Chaldeans, The thing is gone from me: if ye will not make
known the interpretation thereof, ye shall be cut in pieces,
and your houses shall be made a dunghill... ...The Chaldeans
answered before the king, and said, There is not a man upon
the earth that can shew the king's matter... ...For this cause
the king was angry and very furious, and commanded to destroy
all the wise men of Babylon. And the decree went forth that
the wise men should be slain; and they sought Daniel and his
fellows to be slain... ...Then Daniel went to his house, and
made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his
companions: 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. Then
was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a night vision. (KJV)
