him that slayeth thee, I am God? but thou shalt be a man, and no God, in the hand of
him that slayeth thee.

The cedars in the garden of God could not hide
him: the
fir trees were not like his boughs, and the
chesnut trees were not like his branches; nor any tree in the garden of God was like unto
him in his beauty.
The cedars in the garden of God could not rival it; the
cypresses could not compare with its branches, nor the plane trees
match its boughs. No tree in the garden of God could compare with its beauty.

mourning: I covered the deep for
him, and I restrained the floods thereof, and the great waters were stayed: and I caused
Lebanon to
mourn for
him, and all the trees of the field
fainted for
him.
This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘On the day it was brought down to
Sheol, I caused
mourning. I covered the deep because of it; I held back its rivers; its abundant waters were restrained. I made
Lebanon mourn for it, and all the trees of the field
fainted because of it.
I made the nations to
shake at the sound of his fall, when I cast
him down to
hell with them that descend into the pit: and all the trees of
Eden, the choice and best of
Lebanon, all that drink water, shall be comforted in the
nether parts of the earth.
I made the nations
quake at the sound of its
downfall, when I cast it down to
Sheol with those who descend to the Pit. Then all the trees of
Eden, the choicest and best of
Lebanon, all the well-watered trees, were
consoled in the earth below.
They also went down into
hell with
him unto them that be slain with the sword; and they that were his arm, that dwelt under his shadow in the midst of the heathen.
They too descended with it to
Sheol, to those slain by the sword. As its allies they had lived in its shade among the nations.
Son of man, take up a
lamentation for Pharaoh king of Egypt, and say unto

whale in the seas: and thou camest forth with thy rivers, and troubledst the waters with thy feet, and fouledst their rivers.
“Son of man, take up a
lament for Pharaoh king of Egypt and say to
him: ‘You are like a lion among the nations; you are like a
monster in the seas. You
thrash about in your rivers,
churning up the waters with your feet and
muddying the streams.’
The strong among the mighty shall speak to
him out of the midst of
hell with them that help
him: they are gone down, they lie
uncircumcised, slain by the sword.
Mighty chiefs will speak from the midst of
Sheol about Egypt and her allies: ‘They have come down and lie with the
uncircumcised, with those slain by the sword.’
Asshur is there and all her company: his graves are about him: all of them slain, fallen by the sword:
Assyria is there with her whole company; her graves are all around her. All of them are slain, fallen by the sword.
They have set her a bed in the midst of the slain with all her multitude: her graves are round about

uncircumcised, slain by the sword: though their terror was caused in the land of the living, yet have they borne their shame with them that go down to the pit: he is put in the midst of them that be slain.
Among the slain they prepare a resting place for

Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set
him for their
watchman:
“Son of man, speak to your people and tell them: ‘Suppose I bring the sword against a land, and the people of that land choose a man from among them,
appointing him as their
watchman,
Then
whosoever heareth the sound of the
trumpet, and taketh not
warning; if the sword come, and take
him away, his blood shall be upon his own head.
Then if
anyone hears the sound of the horn but fails to
heed the
warning, and the sword comes and takes
him away, his blood will be on his own head.
He heard the sound of the
trumpet, and took not
warning; his blood shall be upon
him. But he that taketh
warning shall deliver his soul.
Since he heard the sound of the horn but failed to
heed the
warning, his blood will be on his own head. If he had
heeded the
warning, he would have saved his life.
When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die; if thou
dost not speak to
warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.

dissuade him from his way, then that wicked man will die in his iniquity, yet I will hold you accountable for his blood.
Therefore, thou son of man, say unto the children of thy people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver
him in the day of his
transgression: as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall thereby in the day that he turneth from his wickedness; neither shall the righteous be able to live for his righteousness in the day that he sinneth.
Therefore, son of man, say to your people: ‘The righteousness of the righteous man will not deliver
him in the day of his
transgression; neither will the wickedness of the wicked man cause
him to
stumble on the day he turns from his wickedness. Nor will the righteous man be able to
survive by his righteousness on the day he sins.’
None of his sins that he hath committed shall be mentioned unto him: he hath done that which is lawful and right; he shall surely live.
None of the sins he has committed will be held against him. He has done what is just and right; he will surely live.
Say thou thus unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; As I live, surely they that are in the wastes shall fall by the sword, and
him that is in the open field will I give to the beasts to be
devoured, and they that be in the forts and in the caves shall die of the
pestilence.
Tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘As surely as I live, those in the ruins will fall by the sword, those in the open field I will give to be
devoured by wild animals, and those in the strongholds and caves will die by plague.
Thus will I make mount
Seir most
desolate, and cut off from it
him that passeth out and
him that returneth.

Seir a
desolate waste and will cut off from it those who come and go.
Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel his companions:
“And you, son of man, take a single stick and write on it: ‘Belonging to Judah and to the Israelites associated with him.’ Then take another stick and write on it: ‘Belonging to Joseph—the stick of Ephraim—and to all the house of Israel associated with him.’
Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand.
you are to tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel associated with him, and I will put them together with the stick of Judah. I will make them into a single stick, and they will become one in My hand.’
And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord GOD: every man’s sword shall be against his brother.

summon a sword against
Gog on all My mountains, declares the Lord GOD, and every man’s sword will be against his brother.
And I will
plead against
him with
pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon
him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with
him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and
brimstone.
I will
execute judgment upon
him with plague and
bloodshed. I will pour out torrents of rain, hailstones, fire, and sulfur on
him and on his troops and on the many nations with
him.
And the chamber whose prospect is toward the north is for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the altar: these are the sons of
Zadok among the sons of Levi, which come near to the LORD to minister unto
him.
and the chamber that faces north is for the priests who keep charge of the altar. These are the sons of
Zadok, the only Levites who may approach the LORD to minister before
Him.”
And I heard him speaking unto me out of the house; and the man stood by me.
While the man was standing beside me, I heard someone speaking to me from inside the temple,
It is for the prince; the prince, he shall sit in it to eat bread before the LORD; he shall enter by the way of the
porch of that gate, and shall go out by the way of the same.
Only the prince
himself may sit inside the
gateway to eat in the presence of the LORD. He must enter by way of the
portico of the
gateway and go out the same way.”
And they shall come at no dead person to
defile themselves: but for father, or for mother, or for son, or for daughter, for brother, or for sister that hath had no husband, they may
defile themselves.
A priest must not
defile himself by going near a dead person. However, for a father, a mother, a son, a daughter, a brother, or an unmarried sister, he may do so,
and after he is
cleansed, he must count off seven days for
himself.
And so thou shalt do the seventh day of the month for every one that erreth, and for
him that is simple: so shall ye
reconcile the house.
You must do the same thing on the seventh day of the month for
anyone who strays
unintentionally or in ignorance. In this way you will make
atonement for the temple.
And upon that day shall the prince prepare for
himself and for all the people of the land a
bullock for a sin offering.
On that day the prince shall provide a bull as a sin offering for himself and for all the people of the land.
Now when the prince shall prepare a voluntary burnt offering or peace offerings
voluntarily unto the LORD, one shall then open
him the gate that looketh toward the east, and he shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings, as he did on the sabbath day: then he shall go forth; and after his going forth one shall shut the gate.
When the prince makes a
freewill offering to the LORD, whether a burnt offering or a peace offering, the gate facing east must be opened for
him. He is to offer his burnt offering or peace offering just as he does on the Sabbath day. Then he shall go out, and the gate must be closed after he goes out.
And it shall come to pass, that in what tribe the stranger sojourneth, there shall ye give him his inheritance, saith the Lord GOD.
In whatever tribe a foreigner dwells, you are to
assign his inheritance there,” declares the Lord GOD.
But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not
defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he
drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not
defile himself.
But Daniel made up his mind that he would not
defile himself with the king’s food or wine. So he asked the chief official for permission not to
defile himself.
In the second year of his reign,
Nebuchadnezzar had dreams that troubled his spirit, and sleep escaped
him.
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.
What the king requests is so difficult that no one can tell it to him except the gods, whose dwelling is not with mortals.”
Then Daniel went in, and desired of the king that he would give
him time, and that he would
shew the king the interpretation.
So Daniel went in and asked the king to give him some time, so that he could give him the interpretation.
Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his:
and declared: “Blessed be the name of God
forever and ever, for wisdom and power belong to
Him.
He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.
He reveals the deep and hidden things; He knows what lies in darkness, and light dwells with Him.
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.
Therefore Daniel went to Arioch, whom the king had appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon, and said to
him, “Do not
execute the wise men of Babylon! Bring me before the king, and I will give
him the interpretation.”
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.
Arioch
hastily brought Daniel before the king and said to
him, “I have found a man among the exiles from Judah who will tell the king the interpretation.”
Then the king
Nebuchadnezzar fell upon his face, and worshipped Daniel, and commanded that they should offer an
oblation and sweet odours unto
him.
At this, King
Nebuchadnezzar fell on his face, paid
homage to Daniel, and ordered that an offering of incense be presented to
him.
Then the king made Daniel a great man, and gave him many great gifts, and made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon, and chief of the governors over all the wise men of Babylon.
Then the king promoted Daniel and gave
him many generous gifts. He made
him ruler over the entire province of Babylon and chief
administrator over all the wise men of Babylon.
Then
Nebuchadnezzar spake, and said, Blessed be the God of
Shadrach, Meshach, and
Abed-nego, who hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants that trusted in
him, and have changed the king’s word, and yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God.
Nebuchadnezzar declared, “Blessed be the God of
Shadrach, Meshach, and
Abednego, who has sent His angel and delivered His servants who trusted in
Him. They
violated the king’s command and risked their lives rather than serve or worship any god except their own God.
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 before him I told the dream, saying,
But at last, into my presence came Daniel (whose name is Belteshazzar after the name of my god, and in whom is the spirit of the holy gods). And I told him the dream:
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:
But leave the
stump with its roots in the ground, and a band of iron and bronze around it, in the tender grass of the field. Let
him be
drenched with the
dew of heaven and
graze with the beasts on the grass of the earth.
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.
Let his mind be changed from that of a man, and let him be given the mind of a beast till seven times pass him by.
Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, was
astonied for one hour, and his thoughts troubled
him. The king spake, and said, Belteshazzar, let not the dream, or the interpretation thereof, trouble thee. Belteshazzar answered and said, My lord, the dream be to them that
hate thee, and the interpretation thereof to thine enemies.
For a time, Daniel, who was also known as Belteshazzar, was
perplexed, and his thoughts
alarmed him. So the king said, “Belteshazzar, do not let the dream or its interpretation
alarm you.” “My lord,” replied Belteshazzar, “may the dream apply to those who
hate you, and its interpretation to your enemies!
And whereas the king saw a watcher and an holy one coming down from heaven, and saying,
Hew the tree down, and destroy it; yet leave the
stump of the roots thereof 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 of the field, till seven times pass over
him;
And you, O king, saw a watcher, a holy one, coming down from heaven and saying: ‘Cut down the tree and destroy it, but leave the
stump with its roots in the ground, and a band of iron and bronze around it, in the tender grass of the field. Let
him be
drenched with the
dew of heaven, and
graze with the beasts of the field till seven times pass
him by.’
And at the end of the days I
Nebuchadnezzar lifted up mine eyes unto heaven, and mine understanding returned unto me, and I blessed the most High, and I praised and honoured
him that liveth for ever, whose dominion is an
everlasting dominion, and his kingdom is from generation to generation:
But at the end of those days I,
Nebuchadnezzar, looked up to heaven, and my
sanity was restored to me. Then I praised the Most High, and I honored and
glorified Him who lives
forever: “For His dominion is an
everlasting dominion, and His kingdom endures from generation to generation.
And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?
All the peoples of the earth are counted as nothing, and He does as He pleases with the army of heaven and the peoples of the earth. There is no one who can restrain His hand or say to Him, ‘What have You done?’”
Then the king’s countenance was changed, and his thoughts troubled
him, so that the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees
smote one against another.
his face grew pale and his thoughts so
alarmed him that his hips gave way and his knees
knocked together.
Then came in all the king’s wise men: but they could not read the writing, nor make known to the king the interpretation thereof.
So all the king’s wise men came in, but they could not read the inscription or
interpret it for
him.
Then was king
Belshazzar greatly troubled, and his countenance was changed in
him, and his lords were
astonied.
There is a man in thy kingdom, in whom is the spirit of the holy gods; and in the days of thy father light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, was found in
him; whom the king
Nebuchadnezzar thy father, the king, I say, thy father, made master of the magicians, astrologers, Chaldeans, and soothsayers;
There is a man in your kingdom who has the spirit of the holy gods in
him. In the days of your father he was found to have insight, intelligence, and wisdom like that of the gods. Your father, King
Nebuchadnezzar, appointed
him chief of the magicians, enchanters, astrologers, and diviners. Your own father, the king,
Then was Daniel brought in before the king. And the king spake and said unto Daniel, Art thou that Daniel, which art of the children of the captivity of Judah, whom the king my father brought out of
Jewry?
So Daniel was brought before the king, who asked him, “Are you Daniel, one of the exiles my father the king brought from Judah?
Then Daniel answered and said before the king, Let thy gifts be to
thyself, and give thy rewards to another; yet I will read the writing unto the king, and make known to
him the interpretation.
In
response, Daniel said to the king, “You may keep your gifts for
yourself and give your rewards to someone else. Nevertheless, I will read the inscription for the king and
interpret it for
him.
And for the majesty that he gave
him, all people, nations, and languages,
trembled and feared before
him: whom he would he
slew; and whom he would he kept alive; and whom he would he set up; and whom he would he put down.
Because of the greatness that He bestowed on
him, the people of every nation and language
trembled in fear before
him. He killed whom he wished and kept alive whom he wished; he
exalted whom he wished and humbled whom he wished.
But when his heart was lifted up, and his mind
hardened in pride, he was
deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from
him:
But when his heart became
arrogant and his spirit was
hardened with pride, he was
deposed from his royal throne, and his glory was taken from
him.
And he was driven from the sons of men; and his heart was made like the beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild
asses: they fed
him with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the
dew of heaven; till he knew that the most high God ruled in the kingdom of men, and that he appointeth over it
whomsoever he will.
He was driven away from mankind, and his mind was like that of a beast. He lived with the wild
donkeys and
ate grass like an ox, and his body was
drenched with the
dew of heaven until he acknowledged that the Most High God rules over the kingdom of mankind, setting over it whom He wishes.
Then was the part of the hand sent from him; and this writing was written.
Therefore He sent the hand that wrote the inscription.
Then commanded
Belshazzar, and they clothed Daniel with scarlet, and put a chain of gold about his neck, and made a
proclamation concerning
him, that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom.
Then
Belshazzar gave the command, and they clothed Daniel in purple, placed a gold chain around his neck, and proclaimed
him the third highest ruler in the kingdom.
Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.
Soon, by his extraordinary spirit, Daniel distinguished
himself among the administrators and satraps. So the king
planned to set
him over the whole kingdom.
Then the presidents and princes sought to find occasion against Daniel concerning the kingdom; but they could find none occasion nor fault;
forasmuch as he was faithful, neither was there any error or fault found in
him.
Thus the administrators and satraps sought a charge against Daniel concerning the kingdom, but they could find no charge or corruption, because he was
trustworthy, and no
negligence or corruption was found in
him.
Then said these men, We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel, except we find it against him concerning the law of his God.
Finally these men said, “We will never find any charge against this Daniel, unless we find something against him concerning the law of his God.”
Then these presidents and princes assembled together to the king, and said thus unto
him, King
Darius, live for ever.
So the administrators and satraps went together to the king and said, “O King
Darius, may you live
forever!
Then the king, when he heard these words, was
sore displeased with
himself, and set his heart on Daniel to deliver
him: and he laboured till the going down of the sun to deliver
him.
As soon as the king heard this, he was deeply distressed and set his mind on delivering Daniel, and he labored until
sundown to
rescue him.
Then these men assembled unto the king, and said unto the king, Know, O king, that the law of the Medes and Persians is, That no decree nor statute which the king establisheth may be changed.
Then the men approached the king together and said to
him, “Remember, O king, that by the law of the Medes and Persians no decree or
ordinance established by the king can be changed.”
Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of lions. Now the king spake and said unto Daniel, Thy God whom thou servest continually, he will deliver thee.
So the king gave the order, and they brought Daniel and threw him into the den of lions. The king said to Daniel, “May your God, whom you serve continually, deliver you!”
Then the king went to his palace, and passed the night fasting: neither were instruments of musick brought before him: and his sleep went from him.
Then the king went to his palace and spent the night fasting. No
entertainment was brought before
him, and sleep fled from
him.
My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions mouths, that they have not
hurt me:
forasmuch as before
him innocency was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no
hurt.
My God sent His angel and shut the mouths of the lions. They have not
hurt me, for I was found innocent in His sight, and I have done no wrong against you, O king.”
Then was the king exceeding
glad for
him, and commanded that they should take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no manner of
hurt was found upon
him, because he believed in his God.
The king was overjoyed and gave orders to lift Daniel out of the den, and when Daniel was lifted out of the den, no wounds
whatsoever were found on
him, because he had trusted in his God.
A
fiery stream issued and came forth from before
him: thousand thousands ministered unto
him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before
him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.
A river of fire was flowing, coming out from His presence. Thousands upon thousands attended
Him, and myriads upon myriads stood before
Him. The court was
convened, and the books were opened.
I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.
In my vision in the night I continued to watch, and I saw One like the Son of Man coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into His presence.
And there was given
him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve
him: his dominion is an
everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.
And He was given dominion, glory, and
kingship, that the people of every nation and language should serve
Him. His dominion is an
everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and His kingdom is one that will never be destroyed.
